If Thill gets solid pass pro and we have a consistent productive run game -- and Gase uses Ryan's athleticism -- AND Parker gets bigger-stronger-more explosive (while of course being 100% recovered from toe fungus etc.) why not!

Not sure precisely why -- but I strongly believe this kids upside is directly related to him running hills (ala Jerry Rice) and working on his burst. He's big and attacks the ball as we’ve seen, but in order to take his game to the top level, he needs to develop better "get off" and sharper quicker moves. I just think running hills (and of course there ain't any in SFL) wou

Keeping OV will go a long way to making this a good hire. In my dreams, we keep OV at a fair price and Jordan returns with a new focus and dedication -- adding a new element to the mix. If Wake can properly rehab, hopefully we keep him for situational play only. I'd also like to keep Shelby on the roster. The kid has done everything right and is solid player. I just think we need

he's like a 4.5 guy. Definitely not a burner. Like I said, I think his "weakness" is the lack of explosiveness off the line. If he can make some significant strides there he'll be a lot more serious as a weapon all across the field. IMO.

For what its worth -- we do have Logan Thomas on the roster. And I've always been a fan of a QB whose name reads better when reversed: I.E., Thomas Logan The kid can get 'er done both ways! True Story. BNF.

...to have a strong opinion of him? >>> 26 receptions for 494 yards (19per) with 3TDs Has Parker really proven anything? Is he a legit #1 NFL dog? Is he a superstar on the horizon? Or just an OK legit NFL baller? Most important -- can he now be considered "physically sound?" I for one believe this kids emergence -- as a real "force" game in and

I hope we don't get $$ crazed again in FA. I'm OK with another 8-8 9-7 type season as long as Gase gets to implement his plan and not get short sighted. I'm down with getting even younger and setting sights for the future rather than try and make a splash next season. Let's make smart moves designed to get this team where we want to be within a 2-3 year plan. Like it or not -- this

FS, DE, DT, CBx2, MLB, WLB, SLB, LG, RG & T. CB and OL IMO that's just too big of a list for one off-season Joe. I think CBx2 DE OLx2 (T/G type) are realistic this draft with a patch at MLB. Then heavy focus UFA on OL DL and LB. Problem as I see it is -- there seems to be a league wide problem with OL play -- and very few teams with truly strong OLs. I think it's harder position t

Nice job. Looks good on paper. Don't know if we have the money for the FA plugs? Kicking James inside is an interesting idea. But I think it might be easier to get a functional RG than replace James @T. But hey, just get the freaking job done and protect Ryan and run the rock! Smith and Lippett would obviously give us two BIG corners -- with benefits and maybe some issues covering quicks

Give Ryan an excellent OL with a consistent running game and excellent pass pro then we'll talk! The kid obviously has NOT had good coaching nor a system that's optimized for his skill set. Beyond that -- Phil(of shit)bin was a cancer rotting this team from the inside out. Go Ross! LOL. BNF.

The more I read and see what Gase has done and is doing -- the more I like the choice. Certainly his "upside" is exciting, and the overall consensus around the league seems to be we made a very solid decision and an investment that could pay huge dividends. I am cautiously optimistic while being fully aware of the negative football karma Ross has brought to this franchise. Bottom li

Overall I really like the youth movement and Joseph has some serious upside. Obviously the "issue" with youth is the lack of proven experience --- but at this point in my Dolphin fan career I'll take the upside over sundry retreads, has-beens and never-beens like Philbin. Speaking of vomit, as it turned out -- Philbin was even more incompetent inept incapable than we had interpola

We'll most likely draft an OG coming off major surgery. I think project BIG is due for a comeback. But hey -- we have needs at every position. Tho I think our punter is solid. And our kicker kicks the ball pretty good.

Must say, I am entertained by the comments in this thread. Seems the overwhelming consensus is that Ross is the preeminent problem and until the pest is eradicated the infestation will continue. On that point I wholeheartedly agree. Beyond that, the simple fact is the My Yammie Dolphins have been the My Yammie Flounder since Ross leveraged his billion-airhead ego into the Davie combine. S

Thill is more than "adequate" @QB for the "real Miami Dolphins" to make a chase at Stupid Bowl (Dumping the doofus clown Ross is far more critical)!
