MERGED: Ross, Ireland & Dee talk to media; fan reaction/overreaction

[DKphin]

All I have to say is this draft better be the best one since Dan retired. If it is not, I will hit the roof. I have no confidence in this owner or his minions.

scary thing is this draft talent wise is not on the same level as the last 2 years...there's a lot of guys who ran fast and looked great in underwear at the combine etc who are underwhelming on tape...lots of buyer beware here imo

They didn't really say anything. The draft will speak volumes about the season.

Seriously?! I think the QB, WR, and OL are deeper in talent compared to last years class.

remember when fans and other people said that the fans was idiots for and was makin a fool out of them selves for going to the headquaters and picketing well imo the ones that did do this got Mr. Ross attention and thats why he had a meeting said he was happy that they did what they did , no diffrent than the broncos fans they got attention and the front office listen to them so it looks like someone is eating CROW.

I'm sorry jason_taylor, but when did we miss the press release that said Ireland was fired? :rolleyes2:

 

[metalman32060]

ross is clueless. Money is always the issue, hes cheap but wont accept that he is. I would love for him to just shut up and not say anything, remember when he said chad henne was going to be as good as dan marino? LOLLLL. why did we have to end up with the worse owner in the nfl for christ sakes......

You are correct, money is an issue. But not for the reason you are implying. This isn't the MLB where the big market teams can just go spend whatever they feel like to put a team together. I think if that was the case Ross would be willing to put his wallet where his mouth is. Unfortunately, the NFL has a salary cap and it must be adhered to by all 32 teams. We have made some questionable signings in the past, I won't deny that. But to say Ross is cheap because we are against the cap is just being a hater.

IM TALKING ABOUT WHERE THEY WENT AND SHOWED THERE DISSATISFACTION WITH THE FRONT OFFICE , that we wanted answers to why we traded our PROBOWEL WR EXC. NO we didnt get what we wanted (jeff ireland fired ) but we did get answers to all of the other stuff that they was keeping us in the dark on so yeah imo im very happy that we do have fans that beleave that something could be done about some of the stuff that we wanted to know , yeah.

 

[ciscoholgate]

After reading the tweets of many of our beat writers and listening to Ross on the Finsiders jason_taylor, I don't really see anything said that we didn't already know?

IMO, this is Ross appeasing to the fans and trying to calm the masses. They didn't really give out any new information.

Was a great spin by Ross and he got some of the fans to back off for the time being. Great PR move.

bro i dont belive half the stuff that Ross and staff are saying im just saying the fans got his attention enough for him to come public and speak to just a few of the pissed off fans but yeah im with everyone else i want change and question alot of bone head moves , and until the stuff that Ross has been promising us then i see no change in how i feel about ireland and com. and imo there will be a whol lot of empty seats at sunlife this year, my 8 season tickets has been cancelled.

Ross had some fancy talk for ... THREE-Peat 7-9 or RE-Peat 6-10!!

Gonna put our faith in some college kids & a first-year coach!! Yeee-doggies!!

Also eluded to he can't be trusted, because he specifically said QB was a priority & we'd make a BIG Splash in FA the last 2 years ... but truthfully, we're building through the draft. Whaaaattt?? lol

"We feel good where we are at the quarterback position at this time."

I've heard that same exact line from these ****ing chumps (and their predecessors) for the past 13 years. Stopped reading.

I feel good watching these **** games from my home at this time.

 

[GreenMts]

"Dolphins owner Steve Ross acknowledged being an NFL owner has been a learning experience. "I've had more owners come up to me and admit, 'I didn't know what I was doing for 4 or 5 years.' This is a different business. You can succeed in business, and it is a lot easier to do that than win [in the NFL]. You know what players you want, but that doesn't mean you can get them. A lot of things are out of your control, and we're all competitive as hell."

Confirmed - Mr Ross is in over his head. He needs 2 more years I guess before we can expect much out of him....

i agree ,once we struck out in free agency ,all hope was lost for 2012 .it's gonna be another long,boring season watching matt moore and garrard stumble over each other.

Is ProBowel like Master Cleanse?
