The ratio of Omar Kelly threads to Jeff Ireland threads is pretty impressive.
well one thing is for sure, omar is no dolphin fan. sounds like he hates this franchise.
I actually agree that Philbin and Sherman didn't use Bush correctly for most of the year. I also agree with him in that I don't see a great player in Tannehill, he maybe turn out ok but never special.I am not sure if anyone else caught Omar's interview on WQAM today or have been following his tweets at all, but he is on a rampage today. Basically he is implying that Tannehill is not good and probably never will be. Questions Joe Philbin and even suggests that he is a BAD head coach. Blasts Sherman and Philbin for using Bush(in his opinion) wrong all year. Laughs that the Dolphins have 5 picks in the first three rounds in a year HE considers to be a poor draft class. Said Miami is not really that desirable of a destination for free agents, only the money will be able to get players to come here. Also said that if Miami did fire Ireland that it would be tough to lure a better GM here.The guy is a major douchebag today.

I don't feel that a journalist has to support the local team. I would however prefer to have a beat writer that didn't detest the local team. He seems gleeful in his criticism.Well as much as I dislike Omar, I always think it's funny when Dolphins fans get mad at the media for being critical of the team and not being fans. Volin was getting attacked for it the other day. People seem to be under a serious misconception that journalists are supposed to "support" the franchise. That's what MiamiDolphins.com is for.

It's probably true about Bush. As much as I hate to say it, there are plenty of gripes to have about Philbin and Sherman in 2012.
As for Tannehill, the reality is we have no idea what he'll be right now. You have half the fanbase saying "WE'VE FOUND OUR FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK" and the other half saying he's never going to amount to anything. How anyone knows at this point is beyond me. In four years we could have Aaron Rodgers or we could have Chad Henne. That being said, I don't see anything to indicate he doesn't have elite upside still. I think giving him a few years to develop and more pieces to work with will tell us what we need to know, but it'll take time. I do know that I like his presence, confidence/swagger, protection of the ball, athleticism, etc. But for any of us to sit here sure of what he's going to become is just arrogant.
