Minkah Fitzpatrick thinks moving around could be beneficial

[HopaLong]

Travis on Locked on Dolphins addressed this a couple weeks ago. He talked about how Minkah's production fell off as the year went on because teams can gameplan around a certain player, and it's much easier to do when that player is always in the same place, and always lined up 15 yards off the line of scrimmage. Once again, it's not really about Minkah doing what's best for the team, but rather him wanting better stats for himself. I really liked the player when we picked him, but his attitude was really disappointing. Hopefully we can find a guy with similar skills that's willing to put the team first. You know, a Brian Flores type of guy!

Screw him he's no longer a dolphin, so just like Tannehill threads not lasting long, this is nothing to do with the dolphins. And will soon turn into a **** show about trading him, like the 50+ Minkah threads before it.

Be careful- if you mention Tannehill too much they will move a thread like this to the General NFL forum

Can you blame him for really not wanting to be here at the time. He’s seen nothing but a clown show and he didn’t know what Flores would bring.

If Burrow refuses to play for the Bengals and creates a power play like Eli Manning and we make a trade to move up and get him, are we gonna accuse him of being a bad guy like we do Minkah?

Agreed. He's smart. He parlayed it into getting on a team that looked a lot better than ours. When we soar past the Steelers next year with 8 new starters like a Ferrari past a fat kid on a tricycle, he'll regret it.

Good players have the leverage against any GM - once a player entrenches he strings up the GMs hand

It is a good thing that Burrow joe on record stating he doesn’t care who signs him as long as he gets paid and for that reason won’t leverage his pick from his native Ohio like Lebron

Oh wait did I just put Burrow and Lebron in the same sentence?

You're absolutely correct. That was more or less what I was trying to get at, without being a dick.

Wish he was suiting up for us.

If he were still a Dolphin, they might have won a game or two more and they wouldn't have that extra draft capital they need to get a QB. The season was all about being in position to get a QB. People need to understand that. Minkah is a good player on a very good defense. Wish him well but the trade made sense at the time. The Steelers got very lucky to win about 3 of those games. Minkah got some turnovers early in Pitt, then nothing in the last seven games. We will see how things play out but if Miami get their QB in this draft, the trade may be cited as helping that.

What makes this even funnier is that the Steelers lost to the Gase led Jests! Go whine to mommy some more...

He's a big fat PU$$%. Never want a guy like that on my team.
