Consists of a monkey with a stethoscope?

They screwed up the Brees/Culpepper evaluation big time.

When injuries hit the Miami Dolphins, they seem to be out a lot longer than they should be.

Will Allen goes down in 2009, misses rest of 2009 (11 games) and all of 2010 with a tore ACL. He still doesn't seem 100% for this season.

Ronnie Brown and Patrick Cobbs go down with season ending injuries and they came back lame and as ineffective as ever.

Tom Brady and Wes Welker go down with seemingly serious season ending injuries only to come back the next season like spring chickens, Welker even came back earlier than expected.


But in Miami....Crowder is missing games with weak injuries. Matt Roth having mystery groin issues and eventually gets cut. John Jerry with his mystery "illness".

Tony Romo looks to be 100% back already from a broken collarbone. Looks like all 15 players on IR from GB are ready to go at full strength.

Peyton Manning is having like annual neck surgeries and still has the longest active streak of consecutive starts by a QB.

Jake Long is looking like he could miss some time. Let's see how long Odrick and Edds hold up before they possibly break again.

I don't know what's going on but the Dolphins medical staff is really poor imo. What are these other teams' med staff doing that Miami's isn't?
 
Interesting...I'm not to into conspiracy theories though. Isn't UM a good medical school?! They should draft from there....

If their Medical students are half as good as the NFL Football players that come out of there we should be set XD LOL
 
I'm gonna venture to say that the medical staff has changed throughout all those years you stated.. But in essence, your argument is sound
 
Teams send players to the same specialists for surgeries all around the country (knee specialists, foot specialists, neck, achilles, shoulder specialists etc).

So the Dolphins medical staff don't actually perform the surgeries. The same sports specialists/doctors perform the actual surgeries for most (if not all) teams. That doctor there in Alabama (forget his name) is a shoulder specialist and sees like 80% of all NFL players who have shoulder problems, as one example. Read a story about it and the story went on about how doctors work with all NFL teams and use the same specialists.

Now if you want to talk about initial diagnosis, or rehab, that's another matter entirely (although the specialists do their own post-diagnosis anyway)
 
The only conspiracy I believe is going on within this organization, are the uniform guys making the players' cleats slippery as hell. Injuries happen and they suck, and I think the undisclosed injuries are more a matter of Sparano and the FO just flat out not wanting to release many details on things of that nature.
 
i am sure they are well qualified, furthermore players get second opinions all the time with thier own docs
 
Im sure some of it has to do with Sparano and the strength and conditioning coaches. Not to take anything away from the medical staff because year in and year out they seem like doofs.. Its a vicious cycle. The S&C coach cant get them into shape, Sparano cant get them ready for games, and the medical staff cant cure them.
 
It's because the med staff are all D.O.s from Nova. HAHA. /med student joke.
