Mr. Cote, like most, is forgettign the hard working fan. Yeah these players are feeling pain. They are paid millions of dollars to play a game that is basically outside of real life and survival.

The typical fan pays these high prices for a now rediculous product, while the players make millions and the owners sit in their luxery boxes smoking champaign and drinking cigars.

Yes they deserve the place they have achieved in life, but don't hand me this BS about how the players / coaches are suffering.

When the regular Joe is laid off they do not have the luxery that these guys are getting, which they deserve, just don't play the pitty card with me. The players and coaches know the rules of the business when they get there. Go cry somewhere else.

I want a championship.

Blow it out your ---!!!

Go Miami!!!

SUCK FOR LUCK!!!

If he does not come out for the next draft we take the best QB and begin our rebuuilding.

If he states he does not wish to play for the Miami Dolphins, we then begin working on the best deal for a trade on the first pick.

If we don't get what we think is acceptable for the first pick we draft him and let him sit for a year, and then he enters the 2013 draft, I believe.

We ask the league for compensation (not saying we would get it) for loosing our 2012 first round pick for reason's out of our contrl.

Then he is one year removed from football - not saying he would not be a good draft prospect, but I would guess he would not go #1 in the first round.

Then, if and when the Dolphins play against him, if we have a true football team and a true football coach, we remind him who the Miami Dolphins are.

Well, then. He may actually play his entire career in college.

Luck shouldn't have his eye on the Heisman, btw. Historically, that hasn't been the best litmus test for QBs going into the NFL. There have been a TON of bust QBs who won the Heisman and only a handful of good ones. The Heisman is a RB or defensive award. It doesn't make sense for QBs.

He's starting to sound like a "ME, ME, ME" kind of guy.

if he stays in school 2 straight years and walks away from being the #1 overall both times, I think teams could legitimately question his heart/desire to make it in the NFL. sticking around in triple A ball when you could be in the majors would be a big time red flag. Just look at matt Leinart, stuck around to party and collect hardware as a senior, flopped as a pro b/c of desire/toughness issues.

All that said, he's not staying in school another year. BUT this could be step 1 of trying to create leverage to go to the team he wants (I doubt MIa would be the top of the list). If we can't draft Luck #1, I am happy still having the #1 and getting the treasure trove of draft picks in trade---but only if he pulls and Eli manning/John Elway on us, otherwise we take him.

Now where have I read this before? Oh yeah, it was you, in another thread.

No need to copy and paste your own posts.

Greg Cote is a putz. He defended Dave Wannstedt to the bitter end and was one of the "fire Shula and get us JJ" nitwits in the 90s.

"Well, then. He may actually play his entire career in college." No, I don't think so. But maybe his senior year.

Rick

It would be more if he's waiting for Stanford to win a national championship.

He's playing his senior year right now. He was a redshirt freshman, I believe. He'd have to go back and play as a grad student.
