LES f**g MILES
I think Jeff Ireland is not only viewed as a tool by Miami fans, he is viewed as a tool around the league. Other GMs know they can exploit him, and we end up dealing players for less than what they are worth and end up giving up more for players in trades than they are worth. Jeff Ireland has become a liability to the Dolphins franchise.
I agree with moving BM, but there is no doubt we could have gotten more for him than we did. WRs are divas by nature, yet teams pay for them regardless. Over the last 5 years (while missing 4 games), he has 32 TDs, almost 500 receptions and close to 6,000 yards. Those numbers eclipse Andre Johnson in yards and receptions, Greg Jennings in yards and receptions, Wes Welker in yards and TDs, Miles Austin in all 3 catagories, Roddy White in all 3 catagories, and the list goes on....Point is, no way we should have dealt him for 2 third round picks. GMs are taking advantage of Ireland, and Agents are going to start raping us as well. As long as Ireland is our GM, we are swimming against the current.
