Peyton's in his last years ... his AGENDA is Fame & Glory (not money, everyone will pay him top dollar)
If you look at Miami's situation, record, & holes ... we don't meet Peyton's Agenda. Far from it.
You have to filter the media with common sense & football sense ... media's agenda is stir up speculation for viewership & make money ... little to do with real football analysis & reality (that doesn't make money)!! I seldom watch sports TV ... no "real" football!!!! (its just talking-head speculative prattle & gossip).
That's just the way it is.

Look at it this way! We love our Dolphins for better or for worse! **** Peyton Manning and his Red Neck family. He'll need his ARP card soon.

Ross pursuing Manning heavily, was the worst thing he has done so far, in my opinion.
Why do I say this? Rewind time back to before the Colts released Manning.
- Dolphin fans were optimistic and feeling really good about our new HC Philbin and all the staff he brought with him.
- For our QB situation, we mostly talked about signing Flynn or drafting RG3/Tannehill
This was enough for us. We were feeling good about Flynn if Philbin likes him, or drafting a QB.
Fast Forward to Ross leaking to all media outlets that the Dolphins are "all in" for Manning, that we could get Manning-Wayne or Manning-Garcon type of combos to pair up with Marshall, etc... This public courting was horrible. Marino had to convince Manning to even meet with us.
So, Manning turns us down, and we move away from Marshall, and suddenly the world is coming down, we have to "settle" for Flynn, or Tannehill, and none of this is good enough anymore.
This is all on Ross' feet. He played with and ruined the emotions of the fanbase with yet another very public failed campaign.

I understand your frustration, but to Ross credit, he didn't hire fat ass Parcells and Meatball. Good ol' Wayne did that ****.
Whose team is one of the worst performing in the league going on 11 years now.
Pat White & Chad Henne ? Both drafted by Ireland and both failed.
I saw a interview the other day where Marino confirmed he was asked by the Dolphins to chat with Manning. This was reported a week ago. Its the having to beg Manning to meet with us that is new - and it looks legit since the meeting had no Ross or Ireland and was the only one in Indy. Manning made it very obvious with that we were not on his list.
The fact he didn't want to even meet with Ross & Ireland is just revealing in itself. Ross has a lot of bridge building in the football world.
the fans stopped going to games last year....or didn't you notice ? even the Jets game had the lowest attendance in years and even was missing a lot of Jet fans there as well.
Why'd they even agree to the meeting then ? Because think of the backlash had they not even gotten the Indy interview. They begged Manning for that to save some face. I'm sure Philbin didn't realize what he was stepping into, or he'd have ever come here.
Manning deserves ZERO crap thrown at him in this. Its his right to see or not see anyone he wants too.
Its about the fact that the reputation of the Dolphins sooooooooo low that we had to reach out to one of our former superstars to even get a chance for a meeting with Manning so we could save what little face we have left with the fan base (that is dwindling) here in Miami.
Exactly.....Manning wanted nothing to do with us, neither did Fisher or Harbaugh.
Wkae up and get a clue folks its not them, its US !!!!!!!
again I must repeat, this is not about Manning, this is about the lack of good reputation our front office has.
