People stop freaking out with all the FO sucks anddoesn't know what it's doing stuff. Philbin and staff have a plan and it willall come together very soon. Just wait and relax. Let’s look at the big picturean ignore all the rumors and media speculation. Here is what I think is goingon:
1. Dolphins only wanted Payton if he fell into our laps. That explains why Rossnever met with him and only Philbin and misc staff members went out to him.Getting Payton was never the big plan for Miami and rightfully so. You don'tbuild a team by spending mad money on a player only has 3 years tops left toplay and for all we know might not even be ready to play at all. Dolphins took a look and didn’t getlucky. No big deal here. If the FO didn’t even try to get Manning canyou imagine the uproar among the fan base? At least they can say they tried. You also don't handcuff a new coach with aplayer who would want to control the offense himself. Philbins future as a headcoach lives and dies with how things turn out for him in Miiami.
2. Not aggressively pursuing Matt Flynn should tell us something. (Flynn is not better than any other optionswe have right now (Matt Moore or draft prospect) If Philbin thought that Flynnwas the next best thing to sliced cheese he would already have had a nicecontract to mull over. We would nottaking any chances on losing him in FA. If Flynn is brought in it is to compete for a job and not to be declaredthe starter right from the gate. The samegoes for Alex Smith if he comes in it’s for an open competition.
So what does all this mean? It means that Miami is comfortable with MattMoore to Start, comfortable with a QB competition between available FA, orcomfortable with a potential draft prospect. The fact we are not rushing in like a chickenwith it’s head cut off to sign a QB tellsme Miami does not see a great improvement over Matt Moore available right nowand or has had their man picked out via the draft. I glad we are taking our time and beingdiligent. Miami’s problems are not aquick fix. Take your time and do it right.
