Wait.... X smashed one of Minkah's snow bunnies and he caught feelings?
Truth is...I don't know if he is the man, but he's all we got. One thing that he's good at and that is tearing down a team. Give him a chance...what ese have we got to lose?You're right it's great that we finally have a plan and we all expected the Dolphins to be bad this year but is Grier the man we want overseeing the draft? His record is questionable to say the least. Charles Harris is a bust and we just traded away the player we selected instead of all pro players like Derwin James or Leighton Vander Esch. There's been talk that Ross suggested we move down for Lamar Jackson but Grier was absolutely sold on Minkah and thought he was a steal at 11. Picking Gesicki over Goedert is another bad call.
Pittsburgh could have a tough year with Big Ben out. Even with him I thought the Steelers were a little overrated.I’m starting to like Grier more and more. Straight forward, didn’t side step the questions and everyone is on the same page - next year: spend a ton of money in free agency and hit the draft hard.
Let’s just root for Pittsburgh and Houston to flop this year.
Minkah didn't land in Davie in a UFO. This isn't hard. Grier drafted Minkah and hired the coaching staff. If Minkah had some personality flaws that led to his departure from the team, part of that is on the person who drafted him, no?
Hmmm, I heard he was fine with it and ready to move on.Tunsil was actually upset about the trade.

Thanks.Miami Dolphins: Laremy Tunsil was angry at trade, Daniel Kilgore says
Was rookie guard Michael Deiter shocked? Hardly. He says he learned all about the business when the Dolphins fired his line coach a few days into training camp.www.palmbeachpost.com
Flores and Richard were the top two. nobody else wanted to be a part of a rebuild or they wanted to hitch their wagon to darnold/Mayfield and let them carry the team. I believe it came down to vision and Flores seems to have a better vision then Richard. Richard wanted to hire a bunch of hos Seattle buddies to come coach where as Flores brought in Jim Caldwell and several other respected coaches. Flores is a much stronger leader for this type of project anywaysThat's an opinion, one I know I don't share. I was pumped for either Flores or the guy from Dallas. I don't think I was alone in that.
Agreed but his "I wouldn't disrespect the game by tanking" statement then is proof positive he's disingenuous at best and a liar at worst. So, why believe or trust anything else he says from here on? I'd rather he'd had say "we have a plan" or "we will do the best we can with the team we have" vs. out and out lying:
"I wouldn't disrespect the game with that. Again, no, we're not (tanking). We're going to try to win every game. I think that's disrespectful to even to say that. ... It's disheartening to hear people talk about it, to even say that. For a guy who respects the game as much as the game has done for me, when people say that, it's extremely sad."
I just don't understand the Rosen deal then...Why grab Rosen if you are dead set on picking up a new QB? Perhaps acquiring too many QBs is better than holding none!
It bothers me because we just gave up the #11 pick from a year ago - a player that this SAME GM drafted - for a lottery ticket that may or may not turn into anything of the same quality as the player we just sent away. This is not the right way to build a successful team with a winning culture.
The million dollar question is will Grier draft a qb in the first even if Rosen shows promise? He made it sound like the answer is yesI tend to agree with you. I didn’t want the Rosen trade. BUT I believe it was more of a situation where they bought a potentially good player at a cheaper price.
For example, they drafted Minkah in the 1st round in 2018 and he returned a 1st rounder in yesterday’s trade. A pick that might be top 15.
Rosen was drafted 1 selection ahead of Minkah in the same 2018 draft and is a QB — a more valuable position — yet the Dolphins were able to get him for only a 2nd round pick.
It’s was a trade for value. If Rosen ends up a good QB, they got him on the cheap. If he doesn’t, they didn’t invest a 1st in him and have other options to still land a franchise QB.
I believe they are just maximizing their odds and looking for value when and where they can find it.
