Mando: Phins have not been told they're out of Manning, still think they have a shot

[Wildbill3]

This is incorrect. As PFT reported last month after Romeo Crennel made public comments about Peyton Manning.

What exactly do Kolb and Flynn have in common other than they were back ups on their previous teams???

I know what Flynn and AJ Feeley are going to have in common if we sign him...

Well Said!

As if Fin fans would be more content if we didn't even try to get Harbaugh or Fisher than try and not be able to do so. If he did not go aggressive after coaches and Manning, he would be viewed as an un-interested owner. People would be clamoring for a new owner as well.

Same thing can be said for all the venom spewed at Jeff Ireland. Just because the Dolphins and Ross are in the MAJORITY of NFL franchises that have a GM with final say as opposed to the control that Harbaugh and Fisher wanted doesn't make Ireland the bad guy. If having a coach in complete control is such a good thing more franchises would be doing it!

Free agency doesn't start until 4 pm, so he's pursuing the only currently available qb option. What should he be doing differently?

I'm getting pretty sick of the Ross-bashing - it's created a perception within the league that's not really deserved.

He went after 2 top coaching candidates in Harbaugh and Fisher. Now he's pursuing a HOF qb, the only available qb right now, and somehow, he's an idiot? Personally, I don't care that Sparano was employed while he pitched Harbaugh - who cares? That's business. I don't see anybody outraged that we're pursuing qb's while Matt Moore is still employed.

So he tried to add some sizzle to the game experience with celebrities and orange carpet stuff - who cares? It was extra-curricular to the football being played- it had no effect, positive or negative, on the quality of the team, player personnel, etc. And let's face it, if were 12-4 and deep in the playoffs, it would be a pretty cool atmosphere, like Laker games, and even the Heat lately.

I like that I have an owner that is actively pursuing the best (perceived) available talent- he just needs to land one! But the fans of his own team perpetuating the negative reputation doesn't help. I'm not saying he's awesome, I just don't think he's done much to warrant the negativity that gets heaped on him.

Do you see the difference in Flynn playing in Green Bays system that had had the core personnel for years and us just starting to run the system? Let's see I get to play a meaningless game against DeToilet and throw to Nelson, Driver, Jennings, Lee, Finley, etc.

Actually Jennings and Lee didn't play in that game. Nelson had 3 Td's, Grant ran a 70+ yard dump off for a TD and Driver and Finley each had one.

I just think that if Philbin is will to put his one and only coaching chance, if he fails, on the shoulders of Flynn that I gotta respect that choice. He more than anyone would know.
