Right on razorghost. In Miami's history they have only drafted 2 QB's in the first round. Bob Griese (1967) and Dan Marino (1983). Guess what, both are in the NFL Hall of Fame, and both have been to Superbowls. Many have said that taking a QB in the first round is a crap shoot, but we are 2 for 2, 100%. This 2011 draft will be Miami's 45th draft. Maybe it's time to take another 1st round QB, IF o

MikeO, please tell me you are joking! Did Pat White really scramble when there was no defense or OL? Somebody please put that on Youtube!
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I don't think Pat White will ever be a successful NFL QB. Maybe he could be a returner or receiver, run a reverse every now and then, but the FO already said he is specifically a QB to them. In that case, it's probably best to see if we can at least get a late round pick for him. I don't think he will make the final 53 roster. It's hard to believe that someone who overthrows receivers in PRACTICE

What a thread!!! Well I don't really write often on this board, but here's a little humor. MikeO: Hey Boss, I've had an excellent year! Can I have a raise? Boss: What? You want us to hand out cookies or something? You were just doing your job! Get back to work before I replace you! A raise? Hahahahaha!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------- Point is, when someone performs

ChyrenB, I believe the acquisition of Marshall came AFTER the interview with Dez. Maybe they went after Marshall because of the interview results. Marshall is a proven pro bowler with baggage. Dez is only proven in college, and also comes with baggage. I think the Dolphins made a wise choice getting Marshall instead of Dez. And we ended up getting a 2nd round pick by trading down. Dez can whine a

Well, I was one of those that wanted it to die, but once his mom chimed in and wanted an apology from Ireland, she opened up a can of worms, and now we know more about Dez and his mom than we ever wanted to. So neither of us know what really happened in the interview. But I don't know of Ireland ever being disciplined for lying. Dez was disciplined, I believe to the tune of 10 games, for lying to

First off, I'd like to say that this seems to be a case of "sour grapes". If Dez was so angry by the question, why did he wait until weeks later, AFTER the draft to express his anger? The answer: because his love of money is greater than his anger over the question. If Miami had drafted Dez, he never would have gone public with this. By dropping so far in the first round, he lost big bu

I also agree with MikeO. If you draft 1 player at a position of need and he fails, you have problems. If you draft 2, you effectively double your chances of success. I'm also one to agree that there are different types of linebackers, hence our doubling up on inside, and on outside linebackers (some pics may be able to play both). So since 4 linebackers were drafted, it is safe to assume that the

There are many factors that are considered by teams during the NFL Draft. As fans, we see the immediate needs and think we know best. We listened to media hype up the top 12 players, and then we wanted one of those players. But the future needs to be considered. We have been told that Miami is being built for the long haul. That means we may have a few years of not being one of the superbowl favo

Ok, this thread forced me to register. As an Army vet, I take racism very seriously, but I also take it seriously when there is a claim of racism when there obviously was none. I live in Germany, work as a communications contractor on a US military post. I pay about $230 a year to get every regular season NFL game online with Gamepass. I'm able to rewind, pause, replay as much as I want.
