Green would be a great fit in Miami for a couple of years while we groom a young draftee. He's very familiar with the system we're currently installing, and considering the Cheifs don't want too much for him in trade, now is the time to strike...
It's a shame that the Culpepper experience isn't working out the way everyone had hoped, but I think it's becoming more obvious by the day that Cameron / Mueller have different plans at Qb.....
PHINZ RULE!!!!
Blitz, I don't mind house cleaning. But I have a huge problems with this idea. Problems that quite frankly reek of people speaking out of one side of their mouth on one point and out of the other side of their mouth on the counterpoint. Which simply furthers my belief this board is merely a bunch of "Yes" men who will not dare question the logic being spoken AND practiced.
In the past weeks this board has been giddy with Mueller's efforts in acquiring picks. In the same breath, many have ridiculed Saban and Wanny for trading draft picks away for veterans when we should be using those picks on youth.
Furthermore, many have salivated at the salary cap maneuvering to cut dead weight. Basking in the glory of our new-found cap room.
And now this?!
Suddenly, we've found wisdom again in trading away picks for old vets?!
Suddenly, we've decided the 2006 2nd rounder spent on CPepp was worth forfeiting?!
And to top it off, many want CPepp cut as part of this move?!
What about CPepp's $7M cap for this year? What about Trent's lack of cooperation to renogiate his $7M cap number for this year with KC?
Regardless of restructures and "new money", CPepp's contract would be dead weight if cut. And Trent's contract would be additional money on our cap. With a quick glance, even after fancy penmanship by Mueller, we're still looking at nearly $10 - $15 million tied up in 1 QB roster spot. And THIS is shrewd usage of our cap space?!
Not too mention all of these half-****ed ideas are boiling on the basis of CPepp playing 4 games?! 4 games in which everyone KNOWS the OLine was at it's worst point last year.
I'm sorry, but wanting Trent Green is not supported by people who want to spend logically and draft with intelligence. You do not give up on a QB after 4 games when you KNEW he was still injured.
This support of acquring Trent instead smells of the persistent "win now" attitude that has infected and plaqued this fan base for decades. Nothing's changed, Dolphin fans still believe we're owed Super Bowls. And do not want to truly suffer through a legitimate build effort using draft picks and salary cap wisely.
"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."
It's not an attack on you, but, I'm just questioning your support in a legitimate debate.
This idea appears to not have merit in my mind.
