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.
Once it's too painfully obvious that Chris Grier is a clueless baffoon when it comes to choosing franchise QBs, he'll be let go.
He bypassed Justin Herbert(Marino 2.0) when he had him sitting in his lap for the taking.
Then, he proceeds to pass on Trey Lance, the guy who will be starting for the Niners this year. John Lynch played Grier like a fiddle.
And now, here we sit with w Tua. A QB who will never be in the top 15 at his position in the league.
Meanwhile Herbert and Lance will be playing in multiple conference finals during their careers.
You just cant miss that bad and that often on franchise changing opportunities.
The #1 assignment for this organization was to find a legit franchise QB during this rebuild from the Gase era...and as time will tell, that didn't happen.
So now we'll wait another 2-3 years for another opportunity to arise to land our next Marino.
Hopefully then, whoever's in charge, won't throw up down the front of their shirt , like Grier did.
But i just cant understand how anyone proclaims a qb a bust after his rookie year when he had no pre season no training camp practically and coming back from injury?
I want to see the future as well so i can play just one powerball ticket. It will take just one dollar.
I think most telling is the many references to grabbing another "Marino".
If that's what your waiting for you will leave this world one day very disappointed. There was only 1 Marino.
Winning a Superbowl is what I'm after not a QB who can literally thread a needle with a football. Passed on Hubert? Name someone at that time that thought that was a mistake? And....place Hubert here who is to say he has the same success? You don't know that. Be fair. Give Tua a full off-season, Next year I'll gladly re visit this conversation.
Well, Socalphin, you stirred the pot. It's hard to predict how good or bad the Dolphins aerial game will be. You may be correct in your opinion that TUA is no good and then, maybe you will be wrong. I believe that we need to see how the offense plays this season. If Tua can't connect with his receivers, can't move the offense and can't put TDs on the board, you will surely have more fans thinking like you are, right now. We will have a good idea after we play a few of the best teams. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be one of them. That would be nice, right?
Right on Colonel. No way I'm saying TUA is going to be this or that. I honestly dont know , I feel its possible and as a Dolphin fan I'm pulling for it to happen with some conservative optimism . Last year he had so many things going on, coming off a major injury , receiver injuries, no off season......Its one thing to have no off season , But right out of college and he didn't play his last year. Wow. Give the guy a break. I love his attitude. He said I NEED TO PLAY BETTER. No blaming game, no excuses.....and no one would have blamed him if he made a few. They were quite relevant.
I get it if your not all aboard but yelling for firings at this point makes no sense at all. The offense can only get better at this point.
I'm still firm in my belief that Tua was Ross' pick and not Grier's. I believe Grier gets a pass on this one. What worries me is that Tua is just good enough to keep Ross in his corner and that Flores will get the blame if after a few years the team is still just treading water and not making any strong play-off push. You have to give Tua a couple of years but, PLEASE,, not 7 years like Tannehill.
Lol!? If TUA starts throwing 4000+ yds you all will shit yourselves. Don't bring Tannehill into this. The Jury may be out still on TUA but Tannehill proved he wasn't the problem here in Miami. If Flores stuck with Tannehill and gave him a supporting cast like Tennessee.....Miami would be in the AFC Championship.
Yeah you get any pro qb a pro bowl team around him he will do as good as tannehill. Tannehill is judy one of 32 nfl qbs. He is probably in the middle of the pack when it comes to talent.

Top 10 actually according to the NFL stats.
Your point makes no sense.(as usual)I have about 100 quotes from you stating the QB is numero 1 position. We need a new QB. Draft a first round QB ......blah blah blah.
Now your saying any Pro QB can win with a pro bowl team? Lol. Then why weren't you crying for a better defense ever?
Stop it. You contradict yourself everytime you open your mouth because your not honest.
I knew Tannehill was a Pro bowler.I knew it. He just wasn't given the tools to succeed here.I went to the practices.I saw his speed, his skill. TUA I can't go to bat for like that. Not Yet. I'm pulling for him though.

Really.......as usual your speaking from your ass and not any FACTS.
6 – game-winning drives in 2020, which led the NFL.
7.2 – his touchdown percentage for the Titans, which means that 7.2 out of every 100 pass attempts have gone for touchdowns.
8.6 – average yards per pass attempt overall, including an NFL best 9.6 in 2019.
19 – times in 26 regular-season starts, he has had a passer rating of 100 or better. Nine of his top 12 have been with Tennessee, including 117.5 in 2019, which ranks as the fifth highest in NFL history.
Let me repeat that for you in Spanish because It has to be the language barrier, you cant be that stupid:
117.5 en 2019, que se clasifica como el quinto más alto en la historia de la NFL.
Guys, this thread isn't about Tannehill but whether Tua will significantly improve over last season. He's not been given enough time to be a bust. All of us will be happy if he can move the offense efficiently and score points with his arm. Give him a chance to succeed or fail. He deserves a chance to prove himself.
Tcpf one day youll get all tannehill did was crap on this team and never ever won crap for us. You just in love with his face. And when he is done crapping on tennesee....thry will also realize tannehill just doent have it.
Dont worry will remind you what a crappy qb he is once he loses another game for tennesee when it counts.
Just like i reminded you last year when he showed how great he was and threw that game ending int .
Stupid is as stupid does.
You know it. Your just not man enough to admit you were wrong. RASIN nuts.
Colonel....absolutely. that's why I included the fact I can't back TUA like I did Tannehill. I knew he was a Probowler. He became a Probowler and League leader in passing once given the opportunity.
TUA has alot to prove.....but he deserves that chance to prove himself a leader and a winning starting QB like Tannehill finally did.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I've proved he's a probowler.
A Division champ.He earned another franchise QB salary after you said he would be carrying a clipboard and "riding the pine" for the rest of his career.
You having nothing as usual. Maybe this season you can actually do a Google search before posting? Actually give educated,factual, knowledgeable replies?
You critisize marino for not winning a superbowl many times. You will have to do the same with tannehill. He been in the league what 9 or ten years already and no ring. A he has a way better team in tenesee than marino ever had. Clock is ticking on your boy.
How do you expect anyone here to ever respect a word you say if you just make it up as you go along? You said Tannehill would leave here and never start .
I'll always root for my Dolphins. You didn't. You said you wanted them to lose just to get a 1st round high pick. All you wanted was a new QB while we had a Pro bowler sitting there. Dummy.
Your a shitty fan . Your consistently wrong ....consistently have no facts .....hell didn't just last week you said Miami had 3 Superbowl wins! Sammy Superbowl or Sammy Raisin nuts?
And i said i wanted them to lose when the season is over and they had no shot at playoffs. Of course i wanted them to lose the rest of games and get a higher draft pick.
But you are already known here as a pathological liar.

Lol. No. Thats just this week bro......and its not a typo. Your a ding dong. Wrong again and won't own it.
As usual you are wrong again. Im just happy tannehill is gone. If it was up to you he would still be here. And you would blame everybody else coaches players even the dog for his inconsistencies. Glad your bff is gone.

I definitely not glad he's gone. But HES GONE. That's for sure. I've moved on and can't wait to watch TUA tommorrow night.
But pertaining to your statement above.......how do you account for his success as soon as he left here if he's so bad?
Maybe because you were Wrong. A terrible fan and act like a Ding Dong?
Never in my life have I ever rooted against Miami.I grew up in NYC fighting Jets fans in the bathroom at Giants Stadium. You will scream tank for the draft after the next bump in the road.
But in your world....we won 3 Superbowls.....so whatever Ding dong.
Quote: how do you account for his success when he left here?
Answer....easy....he has one of the best teams talent wise in tennesee. Including the best running game in the nfl....any mediocre qb would be successfull playing for tennesee.
