I just wonder how good we would be...

So with everything going on with Miler and OV it makes me wonder how good would we be if we kept our own drafted talent. When i think about the talent we have drafted and watched become good players and then when their rookie contract comes up we let them leave because we don't want to pay them yet we are willing to pay unwanted players to replace them. I think about players like Orick, Davis, Smith, Clay, Solia, and now possible Miler, OV, and Mathews. If we would pay these players when they are due for a new contract i just wonder how good of a team we would have. Obviously coaching makes a huge difference on that but as for talent on the team i think we would be better than we are sitting right now. Signing big contracts to certain players each off season and then giving old players big contracts for what they have done in the past isn't working and i think we could keep the good talent we draft. I think it would also help the culture. Right now its play good and get paid else where instead of Miami showing love to its own. Long story longer, Would we be a better team if we paid our own? I think so!

Clay didn't pan out well in buffalo. kid has a seriously messed u knee. Smith has been ok in kansas city but was soft here. Odrick has been pretty much MIA in tax. Soliai has been ok around the league. I would love to keep Miller out of all of them. Yes Vernon is young and normally I don't advocate keeping 30 year old players and signing aging free agents for 1-2 year stop gaps but Vernon is going to get 12-15 M a year and that is just too much for what we can pay.

However on the flip side, I wouldn't let Miller go. Mark my words. Miami will regret this for a long time as miller will go on to be a very productive player.

This is hardly surprising as a dolphins fan though. This franchise exudes ineptitude in pretty much every facet of the organization.

We have been inadaquete for a long time. We need to fix this in the draft and stop overpaying for FA. I don't know if we would be better.

6-10

I know we were 6-10 Thanks!

im just saying that those guys played well for us and we let them walk. What they did else where doesn't matter to me. As for all the guys talking about our record for the last couple years just look at teams like San Fran and Seatle. They were worse than average for many years and got good draft picks which turned to good players yet they still sucked. Then a good coach came and took the talent the teams had and made them winners.
