wow glad this buy played hard for the mvp and 50k. He almost totaled the whole year in one day. Then when asked his performance he blasted his qb's in Miami stating that in the pro bowl the qb is like a veteran he is putting the ball perfectly but in Miami well he just said he had 3 or 4 different qb's. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNiicce. then at the end of the game he said it again about not having a qb in Miami lmao this just gets better.
I dont care what he says really, i just find it funny that he blows his ass off in this game and honestly i think took time off in the regular season. I mean what did he do drop like 8 sure td this year??? He just wants a new qb and thats fine, just think maybe a little class would help his cause.
Marshall has come to Miami and done what no wideout has been able to do prior to him in close to a decade in Miami. Marshall played at an elite level this year even with his drops. Can't let your personal opinion of his personalty skew your opinion of his production.
It must have been those new Nike gloves that the NFL was testing at the Pro Bowl. He would have dropped all of those TD passes during the regular season.
The dude is a douche. He plays when HE feels like it.
The Defense at the Pro Bowl played "patty-cake" with the offense. That's why Marshall had a terrific day. Lower the rim on a basketball court to 9' and I can dunk like a madman (even at my age).
Whatever. I like to give credit were its due. He showed up and played and no one else did then. Reguardless he made us look good. Give the guy a break. Less then 9 months ago he was suicidal and his wife was in jail. I;m glad to see him with the work ethic of a winner.
Some perspective. All of the corners were giving free releases at the line. That's why you had receivers running wide open against the very best corners in the league. It really had nothing to do with who was throwing the ball, or putting it in the right place.
And it is ridiculous for Marshall to make such a statement after the game, in a year when he dropped more TDs (7) than he caught (6). You can bet one thing, him throwing his QBs in Miami under the bus, and passing off blame to them for his drops, is sure to turn off a guy like Peyton Manning.
Everyone should be happy about this. Marshall did make a statement about Miami. He brought national attention to the Dolphins.
He had a great game against the best in the league. It's not like the corners are just letting the receivers catch the ball. They tried to make plays on the ball but Marshall just made better plays.
This is a positive message sent out to all prospective free agents.
Seriously, how can you be upset about anything that happened in the game yesterday? No pats played and dolphin got MVP.
Everyone seems to be missing a rather important aspect of this issue; the fact that, despite Marshall being a bit of a diva, he is offering a first-hand review of Moore. Perhaps this is a case of Marshall trying to find a scapegoat for his drops, but more realistically this is a pro-bowl WR screaming at the top of his lungs that Moore is NOT the answer.

Other than a few fans who don't believe in the concept that you are as good as your qb in this NFL...Marshall isn't saying anything that hasn't been said or implied by Ireland, Ross, philbin, every writer that covers this team, most national media pundits and the vast majority of our fanbase.

BUT.........a picture is worth 1000 words though isn't it?
so let me get this straight. Marshall knows the DBs are playing soft and if he goes all out he can dominate this game and win MVP. so he tries REALLY HARD and makes a ton of plays.
now why wasn't he doing this for us when the games are on the line?

That is true because winning teams WIN and everyone is happier. You think players on winning teams would just be silent if they went 6-10?
It's not as if Marshall has come out of left field with his comments. Everyone tuned into the current Dolphins situation knows we are looking to UPGRADE at the QB position. We aren't looking to bring in competition for Matt Moore, we are looking to bring in someone with a much, much higher ceiling than Matt Moore.
I can't believe so many people wasted 4 hours watching a glorified practice.
I rather be forced to watch all 4 preseason games in a row...in super slow motion with Bryant gumbel doing play by play and Sid Rosenberg doing color than watch the pro bowl.
At least in pre season there are people trying to make the team.
Marshall isn't the sharpest knife in the draw. He says what comes to mind whatever the situation. Don't expect anything less and you'll be fine. He's Brandon being Brandon. (Like Manny being Manny).
The Pro Bowl is nothing more than a all-star exhibition game that acknowledges top players around the league. It's far from being a serious game. Being named the game's MVP isn't a big deal.
are people still asking the questioning who is better between marshall and hartline... really! and he cant catch TD's sets probowl record for TD's... really!
All good wr need elite qb's, did steve smith suddenly get younger or now he has a guy that can get him the ball? Marshall yesterday had elite qb's throwing him the ball and he was doing what he is not known for, going vertical. Great game marshall i enjoyed watching a "DOLPHIN" steal the show and get MVP. All i have to say is did you see that last TD where he shielded off the defender and caught the ball at the tip of the endzone.. spectacular, im happy he is here.
Not surprised so called dolphin fans hating on there own, lol, no wonder we stink!
Seriously, get real. We all know he drops passes but so does everyone else. He's third in the NFL in receiving yards and receptions... only behind Gronkowski and Welker who have Tom Brady throwing to them.
You guys take things too personally. So what if he's a dick? His teammates get along with him and he's a GOOD DAMN RECEIVER!!!!
Stop acting like little girls that had your hair pulled. Marshall is a beast and will only play better with a better qb.
Great post Reppa. How can you not enjoy a Dolphin player taking over the game even in exhibition? I don't usually watch the pro bowl but I tuned in yesterday and was rewarded by Marshall's performance which led to the broadcasters at least talking about Miami. You think other players around the league didn't notice and won't want to play with a guy like that? Other players were telling Dalton to throw Marshall the ball so he could break the record. That tells me that they don't think he is a cancer and they genuinely wanted to see him succeed.
agreed dolphin1423... i think "ALL" elite wr want the ball and always think they are open. If you dont then why are you in the NFL? If you want him to behave then feed him and look what he can do. I have to laugh at people who were talking about "hey lets trade him", uhhh and who do we have left? there is a HUGE drop off from marshall to our #2... now that i think of it do we even have a #2 lol.
