Are you referring to Tua now as "the hip" ?Grier and Flores are married at the hip.

Not sure no 2 is a “win”. He traded what the no 9 pick for no 20? An All-Pro at that. Flores is the only thing that’s proven on that entire list. The rest is “might be” and “has a chance”. Jury is still out.1. He brought in Flores.
2. He was able to get a 1st for a disgruntled Safety.
3. Was able to turn a few draft picks from The Texans, into continued high Draft picks.
4. Drafted a QB that has a good shot at being at worst being a good piece to a quality team, at best, a special Superbowl competing QB.
5. Has been able to draft 4 possible starting O-Linemen for this years team.
6. Has Drafted 3 good to possibly great starting D-linemen for this years team.
7- Has Drafted 2 LBs special LB that will start this year, and each had at least 6 Sacks last year.
8. Has Drafted 3 DB that if not all are starting this year, each has a good shot of starting next year.
9. In FA, has been able to strike gold multiple times with starting talent.
Has not done anything?
You must have forgotten X's problems the year before. Grier made moves in case X was punished by the league or he failed to rehab from his injury. Either way Flo's D needed a cornerstone CB to build and there was never a guarantee the X would show and shine like he did.The recent X'man's debacle was predictable and preventable by Grier. Why would you sign another CB to a better contract than X? You have to know that is going to create a problem. The way Grier is handling Howard's situation is poor at best. Does this situation look like another Minka? Another head scratcher by Grier, the recent draft. Many are giving Grier accolades for the trade down and then trade up. I ask, did we really capitalize on those moves? I think Grier would have been better off making some trades after the pro days when scouts really pushed Pitt's upward on the draft board. We could have capitalized more picks with our trade down and Grier was too early. Another decision - Josh Rosen - Bust; Kyle Van Noy signing?? Jordan Howard signing?? Matt Brieda??
Last but not least, the decision to select Tua over Herbert... This one we will have to wait and see... But then again, we have been taking that stance for the past twenty years. Me thinking Grier is a bust.
Please...that's just a copout. some fans will find a problem whether it exist or not. Not winning a playoff game has already been establish....we get it. You got fans on here that already want to replace Grier and Flores, trade Tua and dislike the owner. Gimmie a break.Maybe has something to do with not winning a playoff game in 20 years?
We get it, the team has sucked for a long time, but some fans find fault with everything and I mean everything. X wants to renegotiate his contract the Dolphins are cautious so Grier ****ed up...REALLY. To feel disrespected because the other guy got a bigger contract than you when you are making 75mill is childish. Minkah doesn't want to play here anymore because boohoo it's too tough....Grier trades him and gets some draft capital in return....what's the chant afterward by some...FIRE Grier, replace the coach, Dolphins Suck...cmon man. We are heading in the right direction, give the front and coaching staff a chance...that's all I'm saying.Fan for 50 years. Haven’t done anything right in at least 20 so I can understand the frustration. Take Ryan Tannehill for example. While here I was not a hater nor a fan boy. I honestly just couldn’t tell w him. Took Tennessee about 2 games to figure out he was an all pro QB. Dude had 40 combined TDs last year to 7 turnovers. Year before he led the league in QBR w a whopping 9.7 YPA. He didn’t do anything even close to that here. Fresh start my ***. We ****ed it up. Like we **** most things up. Charles Harris even had a career year w 3 sacks after he left lololool. Donkeykong Suh and his contract. Jonathan Martin. Adam Gase. Joe Philbin. Cam Cameron. Drew Brees. Nick Saban. Dion Jordon and the entire off-season of 2012 OMG. Then we hit on a couple of studs like Minkah and X and we can’t even retain them through their primes. So, try to understand why some take a Debbie downer position. We haven’t exactly earned the benefit of the doubt for a couple of decades now. Eddie Moore. Jamar Fletcher. Playoff appearances since 2000 = 3. TDs scored in those games combined = 3. I could go on.
I dont think Grier is anything special, however I do think Flo is. So, I hope if something happens to Grier because of his bad moves is only him and not Flo, cause that man can surelly coach.
First of all, the situation with Fitzpatrick was between Minkah and the coaching staff. Grier only got involved once it was clear Fitzpatrick didn’t want to play for Flores and wanted to be traded. Grier did what any responsible GM is expected to do under those circumstances, he got the the best deal he could in a trade.The recent X'man's debacle was predictable and preventable by Grier.

The thing people gloss over (with the Texans’ pick) is that we wanted Waddle. The trade with SF and the Eagles netted us a 1st and a 3rd while we still got the player we wanted. I would point out the Eagles were going to take Smith or Waddle at 6 and the Giants (who picked Toney later in the 1st after trading down) could have easily taken the other at 10. It might not have been as easy as some people think to hop back into the top 10 and land Waddle when the Broncos and Panthers would have both been worried about the Cowboys taking a CB at 11 (our pick from SF was 12th).I agree with several of your points.
For example, I do not think we maximized our 2021 #3 pick (tho time will tell).
I also am worried about Tua but way too early to know.
I think Minka needed a different team.
I was concerned about Byron Jones contract at the time.
Shouldnt beat writers be asking these questions?
That’s complete BS and you know it. Every move? C’mon! He’s made some great moves as well as some that haven’t worked out, and others which haven’t been given ample enough time to make a fair assessment.Flores is the only move that has Grier keeping his job.Every move he has ever made is at a minimum very questionable
I agree with your questionable moves completely…we missed not getting Herbert for sure!The recent X'man's debacle was predictable and preventable by Grier.
