Lol, Alonso has been their best LB since that trade and healthy. A big knock was staying healthy. He will be better going forward with 2 other capable LBs around him. That and Fins didn’t lose anything by trading back. They still got the top LT.
The best compared to who? Misi? Allen? Hull? Best becomes a misnomer when taken in context. He has been healthy, but I'd rather him be good. He was a liability in all phases of the game last season. Those DROY days are long gone. The Eagles knew it. And were still able to slide into the top 10 using him (mostly us) as a bargaining chip. The Dolphins can only muster 4th round picks for their actual best players. And sometimes they even release them because who needs compensation? But at least they have psychics on the payroll to tell them when gas mask bong videos are going to be leaked. Hoorah for fortune tellers!
It's amazing how people will continue to make the same arguments when hindsight already **** all over them.
