Or are you hoping that a certain moderator will red-line every negative thing I say about Philbin.

You can all argue whatever you want but we are screwed with philbin. No doubt about that.

I've been waiting for my disgust to subside, I've been reading all along. This year, I saw a lot of posts that were just tantrums, a lot of emotion and very little critical thinking. A look at the recent posts suggests that most guys are calmed down enough now to begin to utilize tight reasoning to defend their suddenly sensible positions. JoeFootball's post above is a good example of this. I don't agree( of course!) with everything he says, but his post is sensible and well-reasoned, as are some others I've read. I enjoy good discourse, but there hasn't been much of that this year. I want to learn something and good debate is the way to do it.
Have you heard the rumblings about us possibly acquiring Ndamuhkong Suh? I'd love to have the guy, but I don't know if Detroit would let him go and I don't know if we could afford him if they did.

For sure, and that's what we are here for- not the spewing of bile at each other, but argument. There is a major difference.

Suh? Would love him to be a Dolphin, but...

(1) Can't afford him (2) Pay him his salary, won't be able to fill other positions of need thru FA.

As I, and others, have mentioned, Miami has too many holes that need filling. If Miami was a constant contender (ala Patriots) then that could be done as those types of teams only need a player or two to either win the championship or to get them over the hump. Miami has a ways to go before they reach that point.

What rumblings? I haven't heard anything. Where did you hear it?

I think it would be tampering at this point anyway.

"Or are you hoping that a certain moderator will red-line every negative thing I say about Philbin."

Not at all. I don't believe in censorship. Nobody is forcing anybody to read anything on here that they don't want to.

Rick, that comment of mine was NOT directed at you, but to someone else in this same thread.
