I have been a Dolphins fan for over 16+ years and it is incredible to me how the Dolphins have always been a classy and pristine organization which handles all business matters on and off the field with the utmost professional essence. But after witnessing and reading the idiocy that went on at Fridays mini camp I am starting to be very skeptical of our current coaching staff. I believe that it is extremely sad and childish that we will not allow a player who wants to be here and wants to be in a Dolphins uniform to not partake in mini camp drills. I feel as if Daunte is being exiled just because he wants to be here. I understand that he does not want a restructuring of his contract (if he is traded) but that is absurd. I feel as if this situation should and could be handled in a different and more professional manner, just kicking him off the field and not allowing him to partake in team drills is kinda messed up in my opinion and I believe could have been handled in a more subtle, behind closed doors method. Not in the limelight of the public eye where now we as an organization look bad.
 
Cam is blowing it already.

In my view, Cam has already created a crisis. For NOTHING. The only way he can bail on this now is to huddle with Daunte, get him to agree to a joint press conference in which it is said "We just disagree", say how great a player Daunte is, give him his outright release, and shake his hand.

Right after that, quietly release Ricky.
 
I dont think you understand the way things work.
If Daunte participated in team drills and got injured (which is a very strong possibility), the Phins would be on the hook for his salary this year.

Thats about 6million for a player that won't play a single down, and that you didnt intend to have on your roster to start with.

The Phins did the ONLY thing they could do.

Daunte is the one who is being childish.

He's making an *** of himself in front of the entire world by refusing to follow directions of the coaching staff, by refusing to restructure his contract, by bashing the organization in the press, by blaming his playing problems on the coaching staff that supposedly rushed him to come back too early, and by failing to live up to his expectations and overinflated salary.

His off field performance is almost as bad as his on field performance.

His agent is an idiot too.
 
I may be wrong but I thought that if Pep was hurt at camp we'd have to pay him so when he was told that he wouldn't do much Pep decided to leave. I thought this was the case.
 
the dolphins arnt acting childish they told daunte that he could go look around for team that he would like to go to and the dolphins are looking around for teams that he could go to if you were a coach you would do the same thing the coaches are trying to get something for him and they arnt even asking for much

yuppers!
 
Pep is done here, its obvious. He is just trying to get people to feel sorry for him now.

I do feel sorry for him, but dude come on! Its salary cap reasons that are keeping him from being able to try out for that starting job. Daunte knows that.

Put yourself in Cam's shoes.... You think he wants to take any chances when hes got Wayne (Mr Waste Management) Huizenga on his a$$?

I feel bad for all those people that bought C-pep jerseys and havent gotten their 100$ worth out of them!

Im sure this kills everyone in the FO that wanted to see a FL boy, (C-pep) do good here. They just have to be tough!

Nope, I disagree. There is no crisis. Well, maybe Culpepper thinks there is, but there isnt one for the Phins.

The Phins should stick to their guns. Give Daunte permission to seek a trade with any team he wants. If Daunte refuses to restructure for a new team, then fine. Just wait it out. Maybe some team will suddenly have a need and will make Culpepper an offer he cant refuse, including compensation for the Phins. Maybe Daunte will see that he's cutting off his nose to spite his face and agree to restructure for a trade. Whatever happens, the Phins should hold out to the last minute in the attempt to recover something for Culpepper.
Just to be clear, its not about trying to screw Culpepper....its about getting back at least something of value for him.
 
the guy is under contract, so he has no power, i doubt a team will pay his salary but if they do he has to go, he needs to shut up,
 
the phins gave a second up for him, they have every right to try to get something back on this bad investment
 
Culpepper is doing the exact same thing Green did. SO MY QUESTION did you have an issue with what your "new" qb did to KC.

At least Peterson had him practice. Heck the fins will not even let him practice yes I know the business aspect.

but there is an impass here. DC will block all trades (same thing Green did), and IMO should for the way he is being treated.

The fins will not let him practice (smart business........yes)

So IMO the CLASS thing to do would be grant him his release.
