Since the firing of Adam Gase, it seems every member of the local media is in Tank for Tua mode. I wonder if these people realize what kind of message this sends. To me it sends the message to the coaches that they will get a pass in 2019 even if they show they are incompetent. It sends the message to the players that they don't have to go out there and give 100%. They should save their bodies for 2020. Above all, it sends the message that the local media here and the fans HAVE NO FREAKING STANDARDS!!!
This losing culture that has developed here in South Florida has been extremely frustrating. And the media along with many of our fans are to blame for this. If the Dolphins want to start over with a young team of players they draft and not overpay for players, fine. But for the media to suggest tanking, means they want the team to go out there and play the game just to play and not win. If the Miami Dolphins try to pull that nonsense, I hope the commissioner strips them of their first round pick. I'm serious about that.
 
They won't be throwing games, they're just not gonna mortgage the future on this coming season, like they've been doing for the last umpteen years. It'll be 1 bad season to get rid of the stench of the 8-8 circlejerk that's been haunting the fins for a quarter century. So freaking worth it.

It's just a temporary reset to get things back in order, that's all. They'll be trying to win ... just not with expensive/older players. And if it lands us a franchise QB ... brilliant.

Keep your chin down and your left up. On August 8th I'll wish you a Happy Dolphins Day...
 
Considering we have not had an elite QB since Dan, I would say that is very important.

Have we been conditioned to be average to the point where we can't want nice things and make a plan to get them?

This. Spot on. When you go young and clear cap space and acquire picks for present players, you are going to lose games short term. This is how you do it. We’ll all be grateful come 2021.

Yes. It's a cycle you have to break out of. There's a time to be a homer and a time to see things as they are ... and the time to be a homer is when you're consistently making the playoffs.
 
Tell me about brother! Fire the idiots running the team. The same dudes who put the team into this mess over the last several year, and are doing more damage now, and promising a five year plan.
 
This is so much better to me than going through another off season reading how Tannehill has stepped up his leadership skills, is finally mastering the system and this will be the year he puts it all together... blah, blah, blah

Got to pull the weeds so can plant the garden.
 
Do you have a realistic alternative plan to get back to being at least a perennial playoff team? If it involves using a lot of capital to get the QB this year, you’d be complaining that the team did not plan to have the infrastructure in place for whoever that is to succeed when we’re right back to looking for his successor four years from now.

Sooo.... Lets have it your way and not tank.

Let’s see how you feel when we are picking at #11 in 2020, watching all the needy teams take their franchise QB’s in the top 10.

You’ll be bitching then too, I’m sure.

No, he has no plan. Only to complain about everyone else’s plan.

He is like a British Parliamentarian, shooting down every proposed Brexit plan, while offering no alternative. Plain laziness.
