Even Zaslow thinks the fans are over reacting..

Zaslow...now there's a man with his head on straight.

Always seem to come back to the a LT instead of QB discussion, I guess the only point this will ever be over is when either the Falcons with Ryan win a SB (Or at least get there) or Miami reaches/Wins a SB with Jake on the team...But I am sure there will be other excuses if Miami does it 1st.

I guess now the response to my post will be, "No danger in the near or distant future of Miami reaching a SB, let alone winning a SB."

Because that's where it all started, isn't it? You can't talk about how bad ass of a drafter Ireland is without that coming up. And damn right that's the response. You see, let me teach you a bit about how the NFL season works. I know it's been a while since we were competing for, let alone in, the playoffs, so you may have forgotten. You see, in order to compete for a SB, you have to make it to the playoffs. Guess who has competed for a playoff spot every year over the past four years? Guess who has snuck into a playoff spot once in the past four years and has had losing seasons the rest of the time?

And the only way that Miami makes it to the SB first is if they do what we said in the first place. Get a QB.

A lot of people praise Ireland's draft last year. By my count, we added one season long starter to a team which went 7-9. What exactly is great about that?

And at a position that only became a need because Ireland made it a need unnecessarily. Well done.

Listening to 790 tonight, even Zaslow is asking people openly what was so bad about this off-season... Zaslow is a known Glass is Half Full / Negative Dolphins "fan", and even he thinks the outrage is ridiculous...

We were 6-3 in our last 9 games and looked like a better team. Yet somehow just because we didn't get a franchise quarterback this offseason, the fans are screaming for Ireland to be fired?? We signed Reggie Bush when other teams thought he wasn't even starter material.... . This year we bring in David Garrard who might end up being better than Moore if he's healthy... he's a former pro bowler who we got for cheap. Our drafts have been SOLID lately, which I wasn't able to say about the Fins through the entire Cameron / Wannstedt/ Saban era


Give it a rest people, Ireland has been an above average NFL GM lately

Can you name three game breakers that Jeff has drafted? Mr. Ross has his yes man in Jeff. Mr. Ross says he still learning. Well between the two of them they better get this going the right way very soon, or this will just get worse.

The glass is half full 6-10, 7-9, 7-9. I would hate to see a full glass! As a fan I got a right to object to 3 losing seasons and no playoff wins in 10 years. Changing QBs every 2 years. Changing coaches every 2-3 years.

I am very happy about philbin and the defense.

Question is will Ireland get Joe the players he needs.

I'm so glad we've finally heard from Zaslow. I like the little dude, but he's a company man to the teeth. He's like a little yipping chihuahua when anyone criticizes Spoelstra.

 

[vcip]

There is no way you can look at ending up with Gerard as anything but failure. He was a guy no one else wanted, would have been lucky to be signed. It is a toss up for him to even be better than our journeyman not really a starter QB if...IF he is healthy. I have not been an Ireland basher, but following FA we have only #3 type WR's, no QB with upside starting, no starting SS or FS that is acceptable & a big ? at RT.

Yeah great job....

Most of these "fans" demand nothing less than an instant championship. Grasping at straws and ignoring logical reasoning. I have just sat back and shook my head at the knee-jerking going on. Actually, my neck hurts from doing it so much. Every team in it's history has had its' share of tough years. Some more than others. And yes, it's deflating and difficult to endure. Especially when we've had a rival team such as the Pats do so well in the same era we are faltering through.
I am also an Angels fan. I've gone through it with them as well over the past 35 years. Seen the horrid years and wondered when will it ever change? Eventually it did and it seems to just get better (signing Pujols & CJ Wilson).
I think the "protest" was over the top. Fans are also riding the media and their wave of insults and drama. They hate the Dolphins and always have had negative things to say about our So. Florida team. Who gives a SHHH what they say or think? I sure don't. This is my team and I love 'em. Things will get better. We made very impressive progress last half of the season. We will need a true #1 QB no doubt. But Moore and Gerrard both have starting experience, not the long term answer but I for one am excited to build a "young" contender through the draft. Retreads and health risk players are just bandages and IMO, are just that, way too risky and detrimental to this process.

This is the funniest comment I've seen. No one here is demanding a championship we're asking to at least be competitive. 3 sub 500 years in a row is not competitive. Last year the season was shot by week 4.

Face the facts. I didn't care we didn't get a qb but why didn't we go get anyone else? There were so many names out there and instead we give away the player that are us decent.

We have 13 million in dead weight on the cap from bad contracts made by Ireland himself. How could you possibly support this guy?

 

[McGaniel]

People here are like some of my exgirlfriends, they let their emotions dictate there process of thought. Not good at all.

 

[rvz1020]

LT over QB ( ), Davis was a good pick (Matthews would have been better, obviously, but let's not split hairs), Odrick appears to be good but still early, and Pouncey was filling a hole he created unnecessarily in the first place. And we still don't have a QB. Meh.

I disagree about Davis and Matthews. I take Davis every time over Matthews. LT over Ryan. I don't think I'm the only one out there who thinks Ryan is just okay as a qb, he's no franchise qb either.

 

[DDTDON]

You do realize Ireland wanted to sign him and was shot down by Ross, right? Love that he's getting credit for not being allowed to sign the mediocre QB he wanted to. Also love that the fans are the focus of your ire more than the schmucks running a 6-10 team.

Link please?!?

LMAO. Let's take emotion out. Let's look at the last 3 years objectively and the direction the team is headed. Let's also look at the teams in our division. Logically it would be safe to say, 4th place here we come!

But apparently Ireland is doing a good job...

 

[LANGER72]

If you take out a rare onside kick recovery from that broncos game, we're 7-2 in our last 9. That doesn't look that bad to me...

Honestly a lot of our losses we dominated the other team for a lot of the game... the team is nowhere near as bad as the fans think right now

Then you add in the 1 point loss comeback win by Dallas, and us playing the Giants in NY and winning the game until the final few minutes. The one that really pissed me off was the 17-0 lead at halftime against the Patriots.
As usual, the defense and the offensive line folded.

Never heard of Zaslow
