Active Roster
All garbage talk. Don’t care what they say. Prove the talk come draft time. BPA available they always say and then they overdraft some scrub like we’ve seen so many years before.
Well we needed draft capital because these clowns keep giving draft picks away. We gave our 5th rounder away and I don't even remember how. We gave a ton of picks away to move up and draft a WR that doesn't play, we gave Jacksonville a 7th for a slow TE.I will give you A.J Felley, that goes back a while now but point taken. I'm talking about the moves this regime has made with them though, as Howie and Tannenbaum have history together going way back. I also disagree that Jay Ajayi was not a good value for a 4th rounder, in fact I think that is the best thing we accomplished this entire eason. With that move, we discovered Drake and got desperately needed draft capital. They got a RB who is a liability in the passing game, has attitude and fumble problems as seen in their win over Chicago. And on top of all that only has 1 year left on his contract and knee concerns to bout. Sure if he helps them win their 1st SB ever (HAHAHA) it was a GREAT move by them, but I somehow find that unlikely. Instead it will just be another waste of much needed draft capital by Howie, similar to when they "fleeced" us with the Rowe trade. We are still reaping the benefits of that.
Or a QB.If we are moving up, Chubb, Nelson, or Barkley only
We have a few nice pieces. Ireland found a few of those aswell, so did Hickey.
None has come close to building a functional team. The fo's failure to address the D last year is inexcusable and I will be stunned if they fix it this year either.
The roster has some actual depth, we just need some star players to develop.
We need Parker to become that alpha dog, we need Tunsil to become that elite pass protector, we need a guy like Phillips to help form that nastiest inside duo in the NFL and most importantly we need Ryan Tannehill to take that next step into becoming one of those "feared" quarterbacks people talk about.
And once you start making exceptions you'll end up with a team full of exceptions which has happened to our teamStar players seldom develop. They have been stars previously. Tunsil qualifies. The others do not.
This franchise has a very poor grasp of what to look for. Instead of searching for guys who were legitimate stars throughout their lives and then something happened to obscure their true ability level, the current group obviously applies a tape approach. Tape reliance has an inept record when you consider how parallel the college game and pro game are. Everything out in the open. Same number of players. Virtually the same rules. Etc., etc. The fact that the bust rate is so high is a devastating rejection of tape.
When you rely on tape as absolute there's huge danger of catching someone on the improve and projecting further advancement to greatness. Meanwhile he's a limited guy who has never been special at any level and you just happened to sample his segment of greatest advancement. Big deal. People may not like my golf analogies. Here's another one. The pro stars are almost always elite at a young level. Scratch at high school if not younger. Shooting ridiculously low scores on occasion while still in their teens. Guys who develop later on are sucker bets. Their swing may look awesome, as good as any of the elite players. But the fact that they took so long to come around means something is wrong, that their upside is not nearly as high as the prodigies.
As always, outliers mean nothing. Every time I post something like that there are posters who scramble for exceptions. If you rely on exceptions that's the same flawed philosophy as the talent evaluators who understand the significance of early greatness, but are willing to make exception after exception after exception...betraying themselves.

If we trade up for a guard then I am done with this team for real.If we are moving up, Chubb, Nelson, or Barkley only

I laughed out loud. Happy new year, my friend.
