We lost because neither our coach nor our QB can handle a blitz that everybody in the stadium knows is coming.

If someone had told the 9 year old me in 1973 that, in the next 45 years, no one would return to the moon and the Dolphins wouldn’t win another super bowl...guess which one I would have thought less likely
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Been hearing that excuse for too long. A QB can’t just stand there like a statue and not get sacked. Flip the channel, watch Rogers step up in the pocket, watch Luck side step and deliver the ball, watch Rivers sense the rush and get rid of the ball... I was all for drafting Tannehill and given the same circumstances I would be again, but he’s shown his skills, had his chances, he doesn’t
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tannehill has zero pocket presence or sense of the rush of the last three sacks he could have taken one step up and had clear field in front of him...he sucks.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The ‘quickest from snap to release’ is most likely deceiving. We throw lots of dump offs and screens...just part of the offense. And terrible sacks don’t count lol. As far as better blocking? Well ok but as many here have said for years. A lot of that CAN be the pocket presence of the QB. You don’t have to be Cam Newton to avoid a rush. Just that sense of when to make a side step he

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

He did definitely show an ability to feel and avoid the rush and get rid of the ball. Theses are the times Tannehill usually goes ‘spastic’ (as another poster put it) and makes mistakes. One more mistake, by anyone, we lose that game. I don’t expect many repeats of that performance by Osweiler, but will gladly take them if they come. Stranger things have happened.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Don’t believe in Tannehill so naturally in my cynical mind the game just proves our OLine, running game, and everything else Tannehill supporters use to make excuses for him are not all that bad. If a journeyman can come in and throw for 3 TDS and almost 400 yards, setting up our first 100 yard rusher in a year...against one of the better defenses going...well, I realize Osweiler isn’t an â€

Dang, exciting game! Glad to come out on top of one of those finally.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Tannehill has no killer instinct and little to no leadership qualities. Gase sucks. I’m so sick of the old get-a-lead-and-sit-on-it-with-off-tackle-runs-and-screen-passes game pan I could scream. Truthfully we could have easily lost to Tenn. for the same reason. He and staff have no idea how to make game time adjustments. Neither he nor Tannehill can rally the team when it starts going sout

VEA would have been better but still not great. DBs have a career of like 3-5 years in today’s NFL. Dumb, Dumb, pick.

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Here is whats going on in the minds of the keystone cops running our team: -Osweiler is 6-7 years younger than Moore and familiar with our system. -Tannehill will be back full strength and better than ever. -Backup QB problem solved. As usual it will end up in a pooch screw. Very likely IMO a 30yo Tanne will be injured again by mid season...

95% of the 'headcases', 'malcontents' and 'attitude problems' would become model citizens overnight if we had a successful organization that the players had faith in and wanted to be a part of. Nobody likes to be in bad situations where the people running it seem to have no clue what they are doing. This goes double for young, competitive, professional athletes. And I don't care how you spin

Amendola will be a two year ‘class’ in how to paly receiver? Sorry I’m not buying that one. Welker was a better Patriot than Amendola, look what he did in Miami. Again, Amendola has averaged less than 500 yards a year receiving in NE, that’s not gonna replaces Landry and we don’t have Tom Brady throwing the ball.

I for one don't like the 'Head Case' mantra our front office throws around. MAYBE its just that these professional players KNOW the management/coaching sucks and has NO CLUE what its doing. Say so and you're a 'Head Case'.

With our wingnuts, its probably better NOT to have a plan. Blind luck could build a better team.

This team is nothing but one BIG 'Player Gaffe' as Ken puts it. Who says "Hey, lets replace our 3 time bro bowl 1000 yd receiver with somebody's # 3 and a 32 yo often injured guy who can't avg 500 yards a year with Tom Brady throwing to him." Money not withstanding, other teams find ways to keep their guys. I think its just that nobody will negotiate because they KNOW what a cluste

Don't really regret losing Pouncey, Never was a great Center, poor leader, underachiever, etc. IMHO his play as a guard was better. But if he thinks hes worth superstar money, good riddance.

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

The case can certainly be made that a 'Franchise QB' is not needed to be winning and at the top of your division (Vikings & Keenum now), to make the playoffs (Oakland and Dallas last year, Us & Feidler), to make the playoffs consecutively (Texans last two years) or even, VERY OCCASIONALLY, to win a super bowl (Ravens & Dilfer, Bucs & Johnson). But to me this is trying to bu

I think the consensus is Ajayi was traded as a 'Statement' by Gase. Not sure what kind of a 'Statement' trading a guy away from our $h1t show and to a contender is???? Looks like the 'statement' would be seen as "You want out of this mess? Show yourself." Typical of our merry band of idiots.

1. Marino - How can there be an argument? 2. Griese - Can't stand the disrespect Bob sometimes gets. It was a different era and he did exactly what a winning QB of that era did. Maybe the 'QB smartest' guy of the bunch. Had more fire and toughness than people gave him credit for. I mean could you imagine any QB today breaking his leg and 12 weeks later starting a Superbowl??? The original
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I realize that evaluating how college talent will translate to the NFL is a difficult thing and that QB is probably the hardest position to try and do that for. All the physical skills in the world don't offset lack of QB instincts that can function at NFL game speed, the 'IT' we so often talk about. I also realize that with the wingnuts picking talent for our team, its more akin to throwing
