Still Perfect.. and You're Not.
John Clayton, Peter King, Mike Mayock, Chris Mortenson, and Mel Kiper Jr. are just a few of those so-called football “expertsâ€Â. Those experts that make bold predictions all over television and all over the internet and they never come true. These same experts predicted that the Ravens and Saints would be lower echelon teams before the start of last season. Bottom Line is that the “experts†opinions are no greater than yours or mine. All the “experts†made their annual mock drafts before last year and I found it that mine mocks were more accurate than theirs. Mel Kiper Jr. gets paid big bucks to be ESPN’s draft expert and he missed Tom Brady; sure Brady was a diamond in the rough but he is arguably one of the best players to ever play the game and Kiper missed him. Kiper praised Ryan Leaf as the second coming of Joe Montana and once again was wrong. The purpose of this blog is not to prove Kiper or any of these “experts†wrong but to show their opinions are no greater than ours.
“Expert†Mel Kiper blasted the Miami Dolphins front office when the selected Ted Ginn Jr. over Brady Quinn with the number nine selection in the draft. Quinn was over-rated and over-hyped and is currently threatening to hold out for the entire season. Good thing we picked him, right Mel? Also, Quinn could never win the big game; for example the 2006 Fiesta Bowl, Quinn and the Fighting Irish were destroyed by the Ohio State Buckeyes. Who was the MVP of that game? Ted Ginn Jr. On every internet site which was football related the “experts†were giving the Dolphins failing grades and exclaiming how they dropped the ball. The Miami Dolphins had a stellar draft as they drafted players who will impact the team both now and in the future. Ted Ginn Jr, our 1st Round selection will impact this team immensely on two sides of the ball, both offense and special teams. Ginn gives the Dolphins’ speed, explosiveness, and that homerun hitter that they been lacking for years. Ginn will stretch the field and make surrounding players such as Chris Chambers, Ronnie Brown, Derek Hagan, Marty Booker, and Trent Green better. On special teams he gives us an amazing return man who can make something happen every time he touches the ball. Devin Hester doesn’t have poop on Ted Ginn Jr. If you don’t believe me, go to youtube.com and search Ted Ginn than you can talk. Round two saw us grab our Quarterback of the future. Beck has all the physical tools to be successful and on top of that he is smart, a student of the game, motivated, and leaves it on the field. This guy is as accurate as they come and he will be the best Quarterback in this draft when all is said and done. We also selected Samson Satele in Round 2 who will be the anchor of our line for years to come. Other draft picks such as Lorenzo Booker who is the perfect complement to Ronnie Brown, Paul Solia, Drew Mormino, Brandon Fields, Abraham Wright, and Kelvin Smith will all make the roster and have potential to contribute.
Those “experts†are one again bashing the Miami Dolphins for their free agent additions of Joey Porter and Trent Green. Porter will excel in Dom Capers’ defense and also by playing with Channing Crowder and Zach Thomas. A defense that features Joey Porter coming off one end and Jason Taylor coming off the other is just plain scary. Porter brings attitude and intensity to a star studded defense which is exactly what we needed. Sure, Trent Green is no spring chicken at 37 years of age but he is smart, efficient, and he knows Cams’ system. Green is efficient and will not the turn the ball over; he is the best QB we have had on the roster since Danny Marino. I expect Trent Green to have the same impact that Steve McNair had for the Ravens. Green and Porter are both leaders who know how to win. Ca Cameron knows how to win. I do not care what those “experts†say about the Dolphins, I like our chances.
