Based upon Gase's tenure here, if a player doesn't kiss his ass, he'll be in the doghouse. I don't see Bell kissing Gase's ass so I'm guessing there's going to be some friction. Giving Gase final say on the roster is a HUGE mistake. The Miami roster became progressively worse each year of Gase's tenure here. Certainly having a bozo like Tannenbaum didn't help either, but Gase was responsible for

I love it. As bad as Gase's play-calling was, his biggest weakness was player evaluation. The jets are going to rue the day they put Gase in charge of the roster. Gase is loony enough to sign Osweiler and have him start over Darnold. The clown show is now officially in New York (or New Jersey I guess).

Perhaps Grier can pay Tannenbaum to endorse Tua before next year's draft. That way we can get him in the 7th round.

I was thinking that it would be quite the twist of fate if after all the New England assistant coaches who have gone on to be head coaches with limited success, the one that becomes a great head coach turns out to be Miami's new man? I can dream and what better day to start the dream than on Draft night. Go Fins.

Mike "The Franchise Killer" Tannenbaum would take Drew Locke over other QBs in this year's draft. Based upon history, that means Locke will stink as a pro. There is no one's opinion that I have less faith in than Mike the Tannen Bum's. Locke will be the next Mark Sanchez. A GM could base his entire strategy on taking players that Tannenbum would not take and vice versa.

I have a feeling Jones is not long for this roster. He's 31 years old, has an injury history, and is very expensive. All of those things on a team that going through a total rebuild doesn't bode well for his long term status. I have a feeling that if a team gave Miami a decent trade offer, they'd listen carefully.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I've been a fan of the Dolphins since 1971. The only other hire that I knew was as big of a colossal mistake as Tannenbaum was Wannstedt. Tannenbaum should actually be giving talks on how to remain employed despite being mediocre at every level of your job. How Ross came to hire this bozo is beyond me. My thought for a while was that he had incriminating photos of Ross with a goat.
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I know we were told that Tannenbaum had been "reassigned" and wouldn't be in charge of anything football related, but I was still uncomfortable with him being employed anywhere with the franchise. Knowing that he'll be on ESPN and unable to screw up the roster or the cap is music to my ears. Now, he can broadcast all he knows about running a football team which should take all of 2 seco

What bugs me is that the only one on the planet that didn't know Tannenbaum would screw up the roster and the cap was Ross. Those are the kind of hires that set a franchise back years. I'm still not sold on Grier. If he has truly been in charge of the draft the p
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

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.

Political commentary really doesn't have a place on a Miami Dolphins board. I have my opinions about the current state of the government and if I want to share them with others, there are boards for that sort of thing. Even if my opinions differ completely with some people on this board, we should be able to come here to talk about something that's not divisive (particularly now that Tannehill is
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

This is exactly the kind of QB Miami should be considering in the draft this year. I'm not at all impressed with the "1st round" QBs currently being touted. I'd rather spend a 4th rounder on someone like Jackson and then look at 2020 for a blue chip QB in the draft.

If they are looking to the 2020 draft to get their franchise QB, why would you want to sign a guy at QB who could win you a few games and cost you a top pick?

Getting rid of Larsen and Branch is addition by subtraction. In the case of Branch, whatever limited value he might have had was greatly outweighed by the size of his contract. Larsen was positively the worst starting guard in the league. I hope Gase signs them for the jets so that he can begin the process of destroying their roster the way he did ours.

The whole Tannehill "debate" at this point is moot. He's not going to be on the team next year (very likely) and therefore I wish him well wherever he goes (unless he goes to the pats, bills, or jets and except when he plays Miami). Tannehill wasn't helped by the coaching or the personnel people while he was here. The offensive line has stunk to high heaven. Gase gets a hair up his ass

I love this hire. Solid coach with a ton of experience and a pretty good won-loss record as a head coach. Yes, I know that his stats are padded by having taken over for Tony Dungee in Indy and having Manning as his QB, but still we haven't had a coach with his pedigree on the Miami assistant coaching staff in it seems like decades. Great mentor for Flores. I like the fact that Flores is unafraid

First round picks (especially at #13) need to be sure fire things (as much as that's possible in the NFL Draft). Murray is far from a sure thing. I'd be pretty pissed if they spent a high draft choice on a guy that would be shortest starting QB in the NFL and who has aspirations to play baseball as well. First round picks can't be reaches. Rebuild the lines.

Harris has 3 sacks in 2 years at DE. Hard to imagine he could be much worse at LB. Worth a try.
