We would not have to do this if T-Bum and Grier weren't incompetent.

The Miami Dolphins -- players, coaches, anyone with a voice -- will spill out quotes throughout this season about fixing whatever is wrong with the offense. The words will be about correcting mistakes and working harder and improving.
There’s no choice in that. The team cannot deny it has troubling issues on the field but publicly it will insist those can be fixed before the 2017 season is lost.
Privately, however, the people who run this team recognize there’s serious trouble afoot. And that trouble might not be resolvable this season.
The problems are so acute that even as we’ve just reached the quarter-pole of the 2017 season, there have been internal mutterings about refitting the offense in 2018.
The same way the team continued to play through defensive problems in 2016, all the while knowing a significant offseason refit of the defense was coming, so too that thinking is starting to form about the current offense.

We have invested three first round draft picks on the first round. It is completely inexcusable to still be this team's most glaring issue. The good thing is we should be set at both tackle spots, which are more difficult/pricey to fill. It's puzzling that they haven't been able to find two ****ing guards by now. The Patriots are drafting guys in the mid-late rounds.

The day we spend a high draft pick on a guard I'm going to flip out.....
 
This thought from the article pisses me off:

"If the Dolphins suddenly have to spend significant resources in either draft picks or free agency to address the guard position -- which has been a trouble spot for years -- then it would prove last offseason’s thinking that guard could be addressed on the cheap was a mistake"

WE KNEW THIS! The FO and Gase kept telling the media not to worry, they felt good about the position. Most fans knew that going into the season with one FA signing and a lower round draft pick wasn't going to be enough. Now they seem surprised that the unit is underperforming.
 
It's ridiculous that these guys don't the the offense. What a crock. We must have the dumbest players in the NFL. This is year 2 and we have WR's running their own patterns. That's laughable and a bigger issue than guard. We need players who can remember the damn playbook. PATHETIC.

Outside Asiaga not being ready for prime time there wasnt much they could do.
Both Harris, McMillan represented much more important draft picks than taking a guard there.

The FA Guard market was nuclear.
 
Thank you for surrounding a quality NFL starting quarterback with garbage for five years and then in year six, when he's injured and you're forced to see how that same offense fares without him, you finally realize that maybe your OL is ****ing trash, you don't have a tight end who can catch a football, and your receivers are the most overrated position group in the NFL.

Good job, Dolphins.
 
Start with a qb willing to take contact to make a play. I bet cutler does look good in practice settings wearing that red no contact jersey. Then tbe pads come on and the qbs fair game and he's not fooling me.

Cut pouncey tell bushrod good bye cut maxwell if we don't trade him at the deadline cut Julius Thomas trade kenny stills and his bad contract to a taker if you can find one trade Kenyan drake for a 5th rounder.

And finally yeah if Landry is gonna demand top money maybe you do try to squeeze a 2 out of a contender in trade for him.

Unless you believe these wr issues are by and large qb driven which I do. I have no doubts they are.

Stills production or his role still doesn't validate $8 mil per. Trade him

It's completely unacceptable. How in the **** can these idiots not know their assignments in year two? It's a ****ing joke. This franchise......
 
The good news is playing behind this bum ass qb landrys value is sure to drop financially.

Might make it more manageable. Of course his representation is gonna point to the bum ass qb

Trade Kenyan drake while he still has some value. That dudes the biggest tell on the team and outside of specials worthless

Maybe you give stills one year with tannehill but this ghost production stuff and can't block to save his life isn't getting it done

So true. So many of us talked about the quality defensive lines in the division and needing to match-up with better guard play. The fact that fans saw this, but the front office went on the cheap is disappointing.

Admittedly, the defense had major holes so getting everything the team needed in one offseason wasn't going to happen.
