This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
The new coach is a defensive guy and by all appearances a very good one. Let him build the defense first and the offense later. We can go with Fitz for a season.
LOL. Starting a new thread because you cant finish a discussion in the other one......Your mind works in very strange ways.
QB is not a priority? Please show me where I said that? Our starting QB was traded! Why wouldn't it be a priority? You just have this Childish notion that we must pick QB in the first round or are doomed to failure. AND I'm not opposed to picking a QB in the first round if the right guy is there. But he might be available elsewhere as well. If a guy we really like at another important position is available and the QB we like is gettable in another lower round Why not?
Because you act like a child on draft day. You point to the pretty package and you must have it now. Then you cry roll on the floor and stamp your feet if you dont get it. You even throw a fit and start a poll discussing it. Then you spend the next year or years badgering and crapping on the new player because you didn't get want you wanted.
I'd rather pick a QB from the 2020 draft pool than this year's. Each of the QBs that are touted as 1st round talent this year have significant question marks ranging from a lack of height to a lack of accuracy. I don't want to reach for one this year when it's likely that next year will have much better prospects.

Thats also a very valid point. Jimmy Johnson himself Stated TUA was a perfect fit for Miami. I'm not sold on him , but Ross seems to really want him as well. Thats whats started the tanking for TUA rage......

They are adding up bro. I know we have 2 #4s (Tannehill trade) 2 #6s((Quinn to Dallas). But we will have the Most salary Cap of any team thanks to trades because of cuts.
So we just forget about the 2019 season???? In fact, since most QBs who are not named Marino or Greise or Brady take maybe until their 3rd year to show returns, we maybe wait until 2021.
No, I'll tell you how YOUR child-like mind works, Treasure, or maybe as SamSam would say your Doris Day mind is working. You want to put as much time as you can between Tannehill's leaving and success by another good Miami QB.

RESPONSE: uhhh, duhhhh, yeah..we just lost our starting QB. Duhhh! No matter whether I thought we needed one in the last draft (turns out I was right though), the point is that we should NOW draft the BQBA ( a play on BPA).
AND I'm not opposed to picking
> a QB in the first round if the right guy is there.
RESPONSE: But be honest, Treasure. The only "right" QB for you is Tanny. In fact you hope that for a long time into the future our QBs absolutely SUCK so you can stick it to everyone about how we griped about Tanny. And to tie this in, you want us, a team that just lost its starting QB, not matter what I thought of him, to look for a replacement in the 3rd or later round??? LOL, in the junk pile and trash cans where the homeless search and troll.
You GOT to be kidding!

RESPONSE: Why not??? Because we ain't talking about a guard or a linebacker. Only you fail to realize how crucial the QB is.

RESPONSE: Yeah, I care a lot about this team like Joe Robbe did. You care about it as much as Ross. Your main focus is your Tannehill jersey.
You even throw a fit
> and start a poll discussing it.
RESPONSE: SO ALTHOUGH I specifically say at the outset that I was NOT going to make this a poll, you manage to attack me for polls anyway. JC, I'm not gonna hold back if this guy is stupid but before I do that I want to make sure that I am NOT being cruel. Treasure, were you in special ed in school? If so, let me back off. Were you in special ed?
Then you spend

RESPONSE: What new player are you talking about? The new draftee that I wanted or the guy we drafted INSTEAD of the guy I wanted??? If it's another guy, we drafted INSTEAD of who I wanted then I've got the right to call it out but if it is a player,...no,let even make that if it's a player even one just AT A POSITION I wanted us to draft, I'll promise to keep my mouth shut but what the widdle baby Treasure wants me to do is shut up no matter who we draft. Ain't gonna happen, Treasure, you widdle baby you.

So.....are you saying you DONT want him to do well? I do. GO DOLPHINS.
No one reading this thread even comes close to thinking that that is what I am saying.
They hear me clearly as saying that since we have an ANCIENT QB who is now someone who was drafted in 2006, five years before Tannehill was drafted and that...................HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....Fitzpatrick just, just, just ... possibly NOT be a long term solution TO OUR QB PROBLEM and that we should draft a top QB in 2019, and/OR move up to get one if ANY is good enough.
But in 2011 the popular phrase was "suck for Luck." Treasure wants us to
"TANK IT IN HONOR OF TANNY!"
Treasure certainly doesn't want us to draft a QB in the first round when he would prefer us to get one out of the garbage can.
This year, a top-tier QB is NOT a priority. If a top-tier guy comes our way and we can get him with our straight 13th pick, take him. Otherwise, this draft is loaded with D-line and further on, O-line. We are in desperate straits for both lines. If none of the top QBs are available, start shoring up our lines with the strength of this draft- linemen. Get a second-tier QB later. If that second-tier QB turns out to be IT, admittedly an unlikely event, then a QB in next year's draft becomes much less of a priority. If he turns out not to be it, then we should be in the perfect position to draft one of the top-tier QBs in what's supposed to be a superior QB draft next year, and those linemen that we took this year will have a year's experience under their belts, and that top-tier rookie QB will have a better chance to stay on the field and learn the position, as well as a burgeoning defense to lean on.

Try Reading some of my last posts . I said several times.....at #13 if a QB on our list falls to us....grab him.
I'm not for Kyle Murry. My oldest son loves him. I think at 180 pounds he will get wrecked eventually. But if he falls to 13 and they feel hes the one.....well see. But giving up picks to move up , is torpedoing any chance that QB might have.
In our position, needs at every position, grabbing a QB in the later rounds makes more sense. Build up key positions like DL on OL.
I think Tyree Jackson would be a low 3rd round at best. That's great value.
The QBs in the 2019 NFL are not as good as previous years...yet the Dolphins need to draft a QB. However, based on the top QB draft choices, I think we should stick with Fitzpatrick this year, hope to win 3-5 ball games with him, and build the D and O lines as much as possible with talented draft choices.
With a losing 2019 season imminent, and I think it will be, the opportunities to pick up a top-notch, first flight QB prospect in 2020 may be the Dolphins' best plan for the future.
Fitzpatrick is our QB and he will make it interesting with his gunslinger approach. He'll take chances...yet is cagey enough to throw the ball away to avoid a sack.

Some coaches have come from the offensive side of the ball as GASE did. Some Defense Like Flores. All good and doesn't really matter as a good Head Coach coaches BOTH sides of the ball and makes sure his coordinators are doing it. HC Belichick was an Assistant Head Coach - Defense ..........yet had one of the best Offenses of all time. Thats was GASES problem. He refused to get a OC. Spent his time on the sidelines drawing up plays ignoring the other side of the ball. He seems to have seen the light with the Jets and hired a OC.

What are you trying to get me to say? This isn't a special Counsel hearing its a discussion. You keep trying to get me to "admit" to something like I've done something wrong by having an opinion , a philosophy and sticking with it.
Heres what it comes down to. You said last season we had to pick a QB in the first round of last years supposed best EVER draft . You said it was do or Die. You were angry that they didn't participate in the draft gang bang and took it out on Tannehill as usual.
Maybe you changed your mind, that would be awesome......I'd hold nothing against you. Fathers knows best? LOL......Im sorry if I make good points, you cant and are getting frustrated. Its about winning....The Dolphins.....NOT us.
I've always said that ANY QB in todays NFL is only as good as his team. No QB was going to flourish on a team with no Oline , one thats always injured. We need to draft well at Key Positions. Oline and Dline. And now that Tannehill is gone ....yes draft a QB. But I believe strongly that it does not have to be a first round pick all though I would not be opposed to it.
But under no circumstance do we move up or reach for one. Every pick we have is valuable. With this Defense rich draft we could let another team have our #13 for their first rounder and an additional. Grab 2 top tier defensive linemen and still get a solid QB like Jackson later on.
Thats always been my philosophy. Will the Dolphins follow it? Well they haven't up to this point. Why do you think the Pats always have so many picks in the draft? Patience. Instead of a 4th rounder in a draft they take a second in the next years draft. Smart. They wheel and deal those quietly and are always prepared every season.They get picks taken away , players get suspended yet they are always prepared. Because they have patience. They wait for other teams to give up good players, they dont pounce and pay a ton for the taste of the day. THATS what I'm hoping Flores brings with him from the Pats.

I agree with you about getting the best QB available, but not with the first-round pick, and certainly not with a trade-up or a trade for multiple picks. Also, the highest-rated linebacker on the board is still rated lower than many of the top-tier linemen, D- and O. The NFL Network is reporting that they are hearing that we may not draft a QB at all this year. Now, I think that that would be a mistake, though not an egregious one.
