saves said:I'm almost certain he will turn Leak into a top college tight end. I mean the guys track record is amazing in his short tenure. He started with Josh Harris at BG and turned him into one of the most feared players in all of college football at the time, and tutored Mr. Jacobs. Then he turned the mediocre Smith into the 1st overall pick. The problem we face now is how are any of these guys going to turn out in the pros, the only one who has been in the leauge is Jacobs, and he is currently number 2 on the Browns depth chart.
I thought smith's release was kinda slow too, didn't really hurt his stock obviously. I think the main knock on leak should be his height, or lack of.
1) You don't know thatJimmy James said:1) This franchise will probably go 100 years or more before it has another Dan Marino. There hasn't been anything like him (Peyton Manning included) yet in the whole league.
2) Look at where Dan was drafted.
3) Look at the high pick bomb QBs there have been.
4) Look at the number of Super Bowls Dan won. I don't care about having a nice passing game. I care about a championship. If that means mediocrity at QB so the rest of the team can be outstanding, that is MORE than fine with me.
I tend to look at things ver strategically. Of course I want the Dolphins to win every game next year. Realistically I know they won't and at this time in my life I could take a pathetic season if it meant we could have a top three pick next year. I could do this because if we picked well we could have the foundation to a very strong team for a very long time.DonShula84 said:Who's to say Leinart wont be a bust? I'd rather play to win and pick where we pick, Besides he plays for USC, I hate the guy
I hate the Dilfer arguement personally. Did he do it with a sub-standard defense? No he did it with one of the best defenses in NFL history. No team scored an offensive TD against them the entire playoffs. Now step away from that aberation and look at the other championship teams since 1990. You will see a pattern and it required a great QB.COdolfan said:If Leinert gets hurt and redshirted, does that mean we have to have to more 4-12 seasons.
If Dilfer can we a Super Bowl, So can Ferrote!
Bring on the season..
