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.
Rodgers would be looking for a "win now" ready team and, Miami is not it.
Besides, Rodgers has turned into a bit of a head case with his non football related distractions. I used to like the guy but, he's not a realistic fit and certainly not the future beyond a year or two.
Everything he has said or done off the field resonates with a ton of people. But besides that I agree with you totally about him looking to win right away.I think Miami is alot closer then you think. Resign Giesicki and OGBAH. Trade TUA . Get a consultant for the offensive line and invest there and special Teams. The defense just needs to be tweaked a little they are super talented. A Guy like Aaron could step in and take it all all the way.

Far from over the hill. He didn't play those first 6 seasons . He's very lean , and played strong last season. He's got 3 more elite seasons in him IF we fix that Oline. Even at 38 I trust his body and injury history 10x more then TUA.
I think Rodgers isn't much more than a 1-2 yr option @ QB, but the possibility of playing beyond that is much more of an option than it used to be.
In terms of "win now", I think our D (especially if we resign Ogbah as our only truly significant FA on that side) is good but I hesitate to say SB capable even if paired with a good offense. For whatever reason, this is a "today" revelation for me. But, I look at every time we've played an elite, deep-into-the-playoffs team over the past 2 seasons and our D has allowed:
- Buffalo 31
- Seattle 31
- KC 33
- Buffalo 56
- Buffalo 35
- TB 45
- Buffalo 26
- Tennessee 34
So, it can't be said (at least from our history with this D) that they are capable of dominating legit playoff talent defensively.
I do think, though, that a claim could be made that in some of the games the D sort of "gave up" when they knew our offense didn't have a prayer of getting back into the game.
If Rodgers were QB, every offensive position group would need some sort of upgrade with Waddle and Hunt really only being the 2 that are no-brainers to be part of a successful offensive unit. KC showed that you can fix the OL in a single offseason with draft and FA (4 new starters, 2 of each...all playing really well this season)...but we haven't shown we are capable of that many successful hits there.
Alot of those defensive blowouts occurred when Miami turned the ball over 2-3 times. Howard was also out injured and defense definitely is forced to play differently when he doesn't have that side locked down. And we had a decline on special teams coverage. The defense is far from perfect but it's definitely a very competitive group that playing in the right direction.
Offense looks good on paper but needs a re do. A coach like Harbaugh can help put together a winning offense. The line needs everything. I think we can win with the Running backs and recievers we have. Look at little Grant....hes going to the probowl after leaving Miami. A guy like Aaron would only improve everyone's game.

True. That actually would make more sense for him.
We don't even know who the next HC is yet. That would be a huge deciding factor for any franchise QB like Rodgers who might want to play elsewhere besides GB. If Miami were just a QB away from being a championship caliber team I say hell yeah, go for it. As far as the age thing goes, look what happened to NE treating Brady as if he were washed up. He goes to TB and helps to win yet another SB. At this point I don't see this team being very attractive with Ross as the owner. Something gives me the impression that he meddles with this team not knowing what he's doing. Sell this team and I bet there'd be major changes for the better.

I agree. Especially after colonel reminded me the Steelers are looking for a QB. That's the perfect fit for him.

No doubt. But that's gonna be Harbaugh. They just making it look difficult for the media and the Rooney rule.
I changed my mind on taking a chance on Rodgers. He is still under contract and would cost to much to get. Probably three first rounders if not more. This would not be an intelligent move. If he was a free agent like Brady was when he left New England then I would be in favor of the move, but not with him under contract.
