How Patient Will Ross Be?

[SF Dolphin Fan]

All changes start at the top of the organization. Stephen Ross has rubber stamped the current changes making all the right statements. He wants a winner, to build the right way, even if it means struggling initially. But how patient will he really be?

Once reality sets in, and Miami goes something like 2-14 and season ticket holders are upset, will Ross stick with it. Even if the Dolphins are able to get Tua, it's going to take a few years just to build the offensive line. If in year two, with Tua, Miami goes 4-12 or 5-11 will Ross start looking at the next "shiny and new?" Will he start making overtures to Jim Harbaugh and go big-game hunting? Tua, or any young quarterback will figure to have huge growing pains with the offensive line rebuild.

I don't know how patient Ross will be. He was certainly patient with Joe Philibin. He finally recognized that Tannebaum wasn't the right answer. How much rope will he give Flores and Grier?

here now will be a long-term plan to build a championship caliber team, even if it means taking a step back initially. Ross said he’s prepared to withstand potential growing pains along the way.

He Told us this was coming..9 months ago

After 3 years/seasons...if we are in the range of 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 Flores should be told to grab his hat because we've already seen this movie.

So we go 1-15, 4-12, 9-7 you think he should be fired? In my book, that shows that progress is being made and the plan is working. Considering they are basically starting at ground zero, I think that would be a huge accomplishment and show's we're moving in the right direction. In 3 years this will still be a very young team.

Totally agree. It may play out exactly that way. After this blitzkrieg on the roster, i think Flores will live to see 3+ years unless there is anarchy.

I think he has already proven he has no problem getting rid of anyone on the team. I'm sure if a few turn sour on him, he'll have no problem sending them packing to keep the order. He'll keep control of the team, I have no doubt. Even in his infancy as a coach you can see he's a no-nonsense kinda guy. For the first time in quite a while, I'm very optimistic about our future, and I've been a fan for quite a long time.

Ross will be patient. He has no choice.

That is not meant to sound as callous as it does. We have sucked long before Ross bought the team. For the first time since I inherited this team from my father (I started in 1976), we have a total fusion reaction. Absolute blowup.

This will not change quickly, no matter how many picks we have. Sorry gents, Tua ain’t gonna save us. He may help a good deal (assuming, of course, that we do get him and he lives up to the expectations, which he may not), but he isn’t the end all.

We’ve had the end all, and you know his name. Not quite the original #13 (Mr. Scott was) but still the best.

By the way, Marino also had a good pass protection line.

I am hoping for a stunning improvement on defense. As in right now. Flo is a D guy, and I expect at minimum a borderline playoff caliber defense. This year.

Offense....well....

Patience, Mr. Ross...

Very coherent thought on your part. Tend to agree. But I anticipate more sooner.
Like 9-7 2020 and legit playoff contenders beyond (to infinity and back of course)!

Regardless. Ross has put all chips in. So it's win! Or bye bye...

In my opinion. Of course.

I would like to see it sooner also, but I anticipate if things are progressing in a positive manner, I think the leash will be longer than 3 years. It was his decision to finally nuke it, so he has to have the patience to see it through. So much looks and feels different than it has in the recent past, something about it just feels right, I don't quite know what it is yet but it's different. I think a lot of it may have to do with the definitive hierarchical structure in place and some of the new additions in the front office that have a solid history of selecting quality talent. We seem to have a solid front office in place, a lot of guys around here seem to have forgotten that and focus solely on Grier and Flores.

Unsure about your seemingly pseudo angelic "hierarchical structure" but I think we finally know who's actually in charge.

I think Chris Grier is a smart, calculating fella. And I see a "killer instinct" in Flores eyes.

They're either gonna be amazing together or effing blow.

I like the clarity of that equation after unending years in the nebula.

It's been a shell game for too long around here.

2 win season this year will be fabulous. Ross will wrather the storm this year just fine empty statdium and all but by midseason next year if things appear as ugly as they currently are he may and should bail on this staff.

 

[ROADRUNNER]

We will be fine 2yrs and we will be in the playoffs, all down for 2021

I know the logic is astounding..Lol!
