@PoupartNFL Very true.
While I wouldn’t expect him to move the needle much at all (if any), if he can be a serviceable backup for a year or two and not completely fall apart if called upon in a pinch, then the trade will likely have been worth it.
@flasportsbuzz@TomPelissero The Dolphins under Stephen Ross have made a bad habit of keeping someone from the previous failed administration to be part of the new one.
It limits your pool of candidates who are willing to hitch their wagon to the holdover and has generally been a recipe for failure.
@flasportsbuzz Tremendous.
Now, here’s what they shouldn’t do: hang onto McDaniel and subsequently hamstring their search for a GM as they seek to find someone who is willing to hitch their wagon to him and Tua.
This iteration of the Dolphins has ultimately been a failure. Act accordingly.
@schadjoe Identify the person who you want to run your football operations and then do whatever you need to in order to ensure his success.
If he’s a GM, let him pick his head coach. If he’s a head coach, let him pick the GM he wants to work with.
@flasportsbuzz If a new administration does indeed take over, I couldn’t imagine they’d want to tie their fortunes to Tua.
And if they did, i don’t see how you could take them seriously.
@OmarKelly The garbage play in the trenches has plagued this franchise for more than a decade.
It’s the biggest reason why I think Grier should be fired.
I’d fire McDaniel as well, as he has clearly lost this team.
Tua? A new administration would likely be done with him.
@OmarKelly I’m pulling way back from this team.
I’ll watch as much of their games as I can stomach, read a few articles and tune in to the occasional podcast.
I’ll be a casual fan, not the dedicated one that I have been for the last umpteen years.
They don’t come close to earning it.
@AdamHBeasley A poor offensive line has been the faulty foundation on which the Dolphins have been trying to build for years. Meanwhile teams like the Lions and Vikings resurrect the careers of QB castoffs behind excellent OLs.
Miami has to fix its o-line issue.
@OmarKelly The Saints won with Drew Brees and because of him, and I think the Dolphins can do likewise with Tua. But they must build a better team around him, especially in the trenches.
