SF Dolphin Fan said:I never felt like Spielman got a great shot. His one year as GM, he had a coaching staff that can't develop players and refuses to give guys like Carey and Feeley a chance to play. For that reason, those two players are big question marks as the season approaches.
That said, yes he deserves some blame. Feeley may yet develop, but he came at a steep price in what proved to be nearly a #1 pick. It will be interesting to see if Feeley is given a chance under Saban. If he does develop maybe fans will think a little differently about Spielman.
Carey vs. Wilfork will also be debated, especially considering that it's difficult to find quality DT's and Wilfork seemed to fall into Miami's lap.
If Jp Losman develops into a decent Qb he'll also be in the debate with Wilfork. Don't blame the coaching staff for Carey not beating out St. Clair who was the Phins best offensive linemen last year for the starting job. I hope Saban does not just give out starting jobs based on what a player cost the organization. The best players should play, and Carey was not a better player than St. Clair. The Feeley v Fiedler thing can be argued so I won't get into that. I don't think Spielman got a fair deal with Miami, but if retaining Spielman meant that Saban was not the head coach would you still want him as the gm?
