I hate that mentality. Well, at the begining of last year no one thought we would go to the superbowl, why not throw every game. Have some amount of pride

you play to win the game.
Blitz said:And since they became the heart and soul of this team, way back in the late 1990s, how many division titles have we won? How many playoff games have we won?
Their time has passed. It's time for a completely fresh start
Goober Bot said:Oh man, I am soo sorry, I don't know why I thought that fans were supposed to have faith in their teams and want them to win, how stupid of me for not seeing that once you're a whole TWO games under .500 that you should throw it all away, I mean we're FINISHED, there's no hope left with a HORRIBLE record like 3-5, thank you so much for kindly pointing this out for me, I don't know what I would have done without the help of a "true" fan such as yourself. Thanks again traitor :tsk:
Blitz said:I apologize for not being "the world's biggest Zach Thomas fan," as you claim to be. Yes, I am a fan of the Miami Dolphins and have been a fan since your earliest years on this planet.
We're 3-6. At best, we'll finish 7-9 or 8-8. I'd rather finish 3-13 or 4-12 and end up with one of the best draft positions than to go .500 for the umpteenth time. We need to find our QB of the future, and I strongly believe Matt Leinart is the man for the job. We're not going to get a shot at Leinart unless we basically lose from here on out. In the short-term, losing from here on out would suck. In the short-term, trading Madison, Taylor, and Thomas for draft picks would suck. But it would all prove to be worth it when we're ready to make a real run for the championship. Losing from here on out by giving our younger players a ton of playing time for the rest of the year, and trading our JJ-era superstars will make us better in the long run.
We've clung to Madison, Taylor and Thomas for far too long. How many division titles have we won with them? How many playoff games have we won with them? How many clutch plays have they made in must-win games over the past half decade? And how many times over the past seven years have we heard that we are only a few pieces away from a Super Bowl run? They're not getting younger, and we could certainly use some more draft picks.
Their time has passed in Miami. It's time to move on and finally rebuild this squad. This team ought to be Saban's team, not the team of veterans from the failed JJ-era.

Blitz said:Do you really think Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor and Sam Madison are going to be above average players three years from now when we're ready to make a real run for the championship? Do you really think they'll still be worth their incredible cap number?
outlawd2u said:Trade Thomas, Taylor, and Madison huh???? You would NEVER get fair trade value for any of these guys,
Besides we could try and try and try and it's possible we will never find anyone as good as either Thomas or Taylor, both of them have a few good years left and this team will be shaping up before their time is up.
AquaAssasin said:You tell me, reggie white, charles haley still were dominate in the later years of their career. You dont trade guys like him or release him.. Who do you suppose we get...Guys like JT dont come around often..Its hard to find a DE that can play DE and LB..
CalDolFan10x14 said:I'm just tired of seeing this team lose week in and week out. Give me wins, not better draft picks!!!
FireWrongstedt said:I'll answer them for ya bro, since we're the only ones seemingly on the same page:
Division titles: 1
Clutch plays in big games: that would be a big fat 0.
Playoff games won: 3
Sad.
Blitz said:Thank you very much. And two of those playoff wins were over half a decade ago (January 2nd, 1999 & January 9, 2000, which was followed by a record-breaking 62-7 defeat in Jacksonville - Great defensive day from Madison, Taylor and Thomas). Hell, it's been almost half a decade since we won the division. It is all very sad, and I'm sick of thinking we're going to make it to the promised land with these guys. It's just not going to happen.

Also newsflash
No one agrees with you
