Agreed. I will settle for any change. Any change as long as this entire coaching staff and management is out the door. Any change.
The problem here is management at the highest level and I don't mean the owner.
Jeff Ireland has done ok in the draft department for the most part. Probably better than average. We have a decent core team.
The problem is that he has no business being a general manager. Personnel dept? Ok.
He has made TERRIBLE free agent aquisitions. There was no reason why we couldn't have plugged the holes from last year in the off season. It is ridiculous what has happened with out o line.
Columbo? Carey moveing to guard (on TS)....incognito at LG? We have guards that can't pull or get to the second level and a RT that can't pass block.
We can win with this team but still have the same problems as we did before the year started.
Thanks phinfan..............you are exactly right....
I dont think nobody has said that we just need a qb and it doesnt matter if we have a crapy team around him...We all know thats not going to work.
Come on chren you are probably pissed off at me for saying i want to tank the season.....Hey man i got a lot of diffent thoughts every time we lose. All negative thought...
You can bet on anything i want them to win today against the browns today.....
This is what this site is for to let off some steam when its all going downhill for the phins.....And this site works....I feel relieved when i post a few thing s on here.
suck for luck that is the most rediculous thing that i ever heard. The qb position is the biggest crap shot in the league. That is a big reason why it is so important cause people have so much trouble getting it right. I know what we have in henne and I like what i see. He has played well enough to be 2-1 right now but the play calling and the defense is our achilles heal.
And have a question for people on this luck bandwagon... first off i dont believe you guys have even really watched a standford game. and if you did please tell me what it is you see about him that makes him this sure shot and best qb coming out in the past 25 years? cause honestly i dont see it...
Have YOU watched him play? He's got the arm, the pocket presence, the footwork, the mechanics, the brains. Stanford was trash before he went there and will be trash again when he leaves. He is as good a prospect as it gets.
If you don't think he's an exciting prospect I don't really have anything else to add. There is a reason people are so hyped for him that the NFL is talking about implementing a draft lottery. Yeah, there's a chance he'll be a bust or even a marginal player, but there's that chance with anybody.

RESPONSE: PhinFans2, the difference between you and me is that You would prefer to have Hall of Fame quarterbacks and I would prefer to have SuperBowls.
Dan Marino will go down as a greater quarterback than Bob Griese but Bob Griese's teams will go down as greater than Dan Marino's teams.
Are you a fan of having a great quarterback or are you a fan of the team?

HA HA HAA are you kidding me... trash!!! you do know that they also had toby gerhart who finished #2 in the Heisman ballet last year. You are hilarious!!! sucked what are you talking about!
Listen, I'm not saying Luck is going to be the next Marino, but if this team is going to STINK IT UP and miss the playoffs, then I want them to stink badly enough to have a chance to draft a man who is considered by MANY to be the #1 QB prospect since Peyton Manning.

Cant afford....?
this is a multimillion dollar organization man...
If other teams can why cant us....?
Are you seriously saying that you rather have henne instead of a player qb who can turn out a hall of famer?
