Looking Back on the Brandon Marshall Trade

[Sons Of Shula]

Anyone here question Denver's decision to trade Marshall?

Didn't think so. Next.

It's one thing to trade a player of that caliber, it's a completely different thing to essentially give him away for free.

Marshall seems to have gotten his mental issues in order as well...

You can only hope so my friend. Hope he has grown up!

I don't want Brandon Marshall on my team, and I had no problem with trading him. That's all I have to offer to this thread.

This. Everybody knows what Matt Moore is, a Back up QB. But he pulled us out of what was looking like maybe a 0-16 season. He had the leadership to drag that team out of the black hole and start winning some games for us and he won the Team MVP award. Then Marshall in the pro bowl just calls Henne(understandable) and Moore out. Not the kind of guy I would want in our locker room and on my team. I think you probably could have gotten more value, but it's a buyers market and I'm sure teams were suspicious Ireland was calling up teams looking to ship him, and probably heard about his impending incident.

I think Marshall is a #s guy, incredible talent but seems to be happy just accumulating #s much like Cutler which is why they are so good together and never win.

Just like that bum Calvin Johnson right? He never won anything either.

The whole thing is yet another wasted opportunity by the Dolphins organization. I swear this organization could eff up a one man rock fight.

Theres a reason Miami hasnt won a playoff game in over a decade. A premier talent like Marshall lands here, and they find a way to eff it up. Its inexcusable. Surely there was no QB, and Marshall demanded a ball that Henne and the offense could not deliver, but the fact remains he was dominant before Miami and is dominant again after.

Marshall is 2X the receiver alligator arms Wallace is. The sooner this organization can rid themselves of the contractual albatross that Wallace is, the better.

Thanks Ireland, and thanks Obama. Yes I blame both. For nearly everything.

ironically, that's just as many as Brandon Marshall has won in his career

I love how in order to validate the trade to Chicago, it becomes necessary to declare that Marshall just isn't that good and furthermore that he was a cancer all the way back to his time in Denver. Such statements do little to justify the Chicago trade, but they do raise all sorts of questions as to why Miami would trade two second-round picks for such a loser malcontent in the first place.

Then I remember that Jeff Ireland presided over the whole fiasco, from beginning to end, and it all makes sense.

The guy I aloof, prone to throw his QB under the bus and all around not a team player, similar to Marshall. Wallace doesn't have the off the field issues like spousal abuse and stabbing oneself with vase shards, but pretty much everything else we disliked about BM, Wallace also has to some degree.

As much of a bitch that BM could be as a teammate, at least he plays with effort and passion. There is no chance that we would see BM pull a Wallace and make no effort to go get a pop fly ball 1 foot away like in the Jets game last year. That was the most pathetic display I've ever seen by a receiver

Effort?? How about the 7 drooped TD passes? BM was never going to play well here, he was way to concerned about his 'diva' status back then.

I'm sure when he arrived in Chia-town he was told it would likely be his last stop in the NFL unless he got his s*** straight. Re-uniting him with Cutler helped.

The difference is Marshall has played on some good teams, Calvin has mostly played on bad teams. Den was always in the playoff hunt and always came up short, same thing is happening in Chicago and marshall as good as he is isn't half of what Calvin Johnson is.

I'm pretty sure that is more of an indictment of Cutler than Marshall. A WR can only control so much...

probably but he also played on some talented teams in Miami and never made it.(at least a talented team in 2010- that team should have been a playoff team)

At the time it felt like we robbed them after the assault reports came out and it looked like Marshall would be looking at a lengthy suspension. Did Ireland catch wind of the report and tried to pawn Marshall off before it became public knowledge? Maybe Marshall/Chicago set the whole thing up as part of some diabolical plan to force a trade? Was it even real?

No matter how it happened it was karma, especially after seeing the way Ireland handled the Bess situation.

It is Ireland's MO...
