he sure did keep revis busy! running back the other way.

:lol: Funny....but sad :sigh:

Well at least we won't have to worry about that diva again. He cost us more games with his drops than wins. This draft is loaded with WRs...he can be replaced.

I'll never understand how Pouncey managed to topple over forwards chasing him...
 
Blaming Marshall on that Revis pick 6 is laughable. Revis badly held him before the pass was thrown. Should've been a PI or 5 yard hold at worst.
 
What happen to all that late season optimism?? We finished 6-3! Six and three! Goin after a few qbs,releasing a over the hill safety and trading a some timing receiver and we are the worse team in the league? Sure we have holes like every team in the NFL,but i am very optimistic about this season. Our team is getting better today,everyone is 0-0. Let it go man...
 
I'm just gonna leave the thread with this. Marshall was still worth more than 3rd round picks. By trading him you acquired draft picks that turn into NFL starters only 1/3 of the time.
 
By trading Brandon Marshall, you abandoned any hope of salvaging the 2012 season. With him, you could've upgraded some positions and worked with your current roster to present a team capable of winning 9-10 games, allowing some hope of playoff contention. Now that you no longer have a true #1 receiver, Pro-Bowl MVP player, your team, no matter what you do in the draft will be worse than it was last September. Even if you got a guy like Blackmon, which we won't, he would take at least a year to be as good as Marshall even if he is capable of ever being that good. Miami traded him for a draft pick that becomes an NFL starter only 30% of the time. Well, 2 of them. 2 players that in all likelihood will not be NFL starting caliber players.

Therefore, the only sober way to look at this draft is to understand that it's a first phase of building a team capable of winning a superbowl, not just scraping for 9-10 wins. Pick up some pieces now, suck this season, and pick up some more, be 8-8 in 2013, then be in position to be the best team in football in 2014.
This is where we're at. I wish it wasn't so, but it really is.

My thoughts :

Miami Dolphins = Tug Boat
Saints / Jets= Titanic

I would rather ride the Tug Boat...

If he was worth more than two 3rd round picks, then why didnt any team offer more than that? He is only worth what another team is willing to give up.
 
That's why he should've have been traded. He was worth more to the Dolphins than any compensation they were offered. Many WRs drafted in the 1st round never even produce the amount of receptions and yards he gained last year. It sucks he didn't do better than he did, but he still did better than all but a small few players. His absence creates a big hole.

I think we got good value for him considering no other team wanted to give up that much for a guy who was possibly looking at a long term suspension at the time.
 
No one could believe the Broncos wanted to get rid of him either.

If he would have caught half the passes that he dropped what would Moore's stats look like?

Forcing the ball to one WR is not good, you get more intZ that way and you get less production & developement from the rest of the receivers not to mention you make it easier for the opposing Defense to defend against you.

Remember last year when the Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packers were undefeated?

Which team knocked them off that undefeated platform?

It was the lowly Browns. The Madden players should spend more time playing madden & less time posting. :nailbiter::bugeye:
 
First up, we don't even know if Marshall plays this season. He is looking at a 1 year suspension. More importantly, in a WCO there is not a demand for a #1 WR. Finally, Marshall is not even a top 10 WR in the league. The Dolphins are fortunate they got to 3rd round picks for him.

Maybe but I think the new head coach wanted a wr he can either develop into being a good/discipline route runner or someone who didn't throw his fellow teammates under the bus whenever things didn't go his way.

What sucks is that Marshall had another off-the-field incident when he did and in return possibly lowered his asking price.

This is where we're at. I wish it wasn't so, but it really is.

Then come back in 2014 when the going gets good. The magic 8ball your using should have already hinted at this.
 
Ask yourself this OP...you think Philbin would've taken this job, no matter what we paid him, if he thought his first season was "hopeless"? Let's be real here.
