I don't think the season is a write off just yet.. I am optomistic, and I do believe Saban will turn it around and stun us all by beating the Patsys.. however, everytime I watch highlights (ok.. lowlights) of the Fins games, i cant help but think to myself.. I miss Gus taking snaps for us. At least I felt somewhat comfortable with him at QB. Now when Daunte has it,I find myself praying NOT TO SEE HIM GET WRAPPED UP AGAIN AND AGAIN! Gus at least found guys to dump to or threw it away. Anyone else feel the same? I like Daunte just as much as the next guy, but I feel perhaps its only fair someone else get to take the reins if he is sinking the ship so to speak. Just my 2 cents.

Daunte usually finds dump off guys when he has the time.
 
I dont want to call you ignorant. But lets just say that youre living in bliss.

Daunte isnt the only thing that changed in our offense. Our oline is completely different. Our most valueable asset to our offense last season is in St. Louis, and his name IS NOT GUS.

Scott Linehan look the heart and soul of this offensive system with im to the Rams. Asking Murlarkey to run this system is like asking a Honda engineer to build a Ford. It might look like a Ford. It might seem just as good as a ford from the outside. But when you take it for a test drive and it falls apart like an accord, you'll know that Mr. Yogishizo Murlarkey is full of _____ if he thinks he can fool anyone.

Then we have Joey Harrington. Please tell me that you wouldn't lobby for Gus "headbutt heard round the world" Frerotte over Daunte and Joey. Because frankly, I'm not sure if Gus would have an easy time convincing Saban that he is more valueable than Cleo Lemon, especially with his pricetag.

Grow some _____. Then be a man and support your team and have a little confidence. We got beat by the Texans. So what. That means they were under ranked and we were over ranked. We'll beat a few overranked teams as well. And hopefully we'll get better along the way. THATS FOOTBALL. Do you think the Patriots threw in the towel when Bledsoe got hurt? NO. They just took a 6th rounder and turned him into the most hated QB the Dolphins have ever played against.

Crying is for Jills fans. They lost 4 straight Super Bowls. Imagine that, go cry about it, then put your pants back on and support your team.

It's a shame that Mr. Heizenga (spelling) hasn't thought to mass produce Miami Dolphins official pacifiers for all you babies out there.

GO DOLPHINS! KILL THE PATS!
 
But I don't see Culpepper winning 6 games in a row for us like Frerotte did at the end of last season. Frerotte and Chambers had some sort of connection, that was his go to WR. Culpepper obviously likes Welker as his go to guy. Not taking anything away from Welker, he is amazing, but he is not Chris Chambers.

Hey I didn't see Gus win six games in a row for us either - since it was sheer luck that he got knocked out of the Bills game and Sage came in and scored 95% of our points in a quarter and some. Then the Jets game Sage came in way before the half -and we won that came also with a nice pass to Booker if I remember correctly. So I think you are giving Gus a little too much credit here!!!

Truth.

And even if he was the one behind the six-game winning streak. Did any of you guys think Gus could lead us to a sixth game winning streak in the beginning of the '05 season?

Yeah, it's all funny when we have a different QB that cant emulate Dan Marino on command. Then all the other QB that we booed out of a job look so much more appealing, right?

How about Damon Huard? He seems to be picking up right where he left off when Wanny came aboard and declared Feidler the starter. Huard never got a chance to get booed, but he got a ring.

My list of guys that are always better in retrospect because its easy to pretend like you didnt want them to die:

Jay Fiedler
Ray Lucas
Brian Griese
AJ feeley
Gus Frerotte
Damon Huard
Sage Rosenfels

Am I missing any other people on this list that are currently backups to other teams or out of the NFL that we have started at QB since Marino retired?
WHY DO WE DESTROY QBs?
 
i can see where you are coming from a little bit but personally if we had cpep last year we wouldve had a shot at the playoffs.i felt that last year we had a good pass blocking oline.this year its all just gone to heck.21 sacks is unacceptable.the thing that only bothers me with cpep is his inability to get chambers 5,6 or more catches a game.hes the star on the recieving end and we need to get him the ball.gus didnt have a problem with that last year.but maybe our recievers are having a tough time getting open.this week i could see a suprise upset.hopefully daunte shows everyone whatsup by outplaying and outplaying the great brady

Well maybe we should have kept Sage and hoped that Daunte would get knocked out of the game so Rosenfels could come off the bench and win the game for us. In all seriousness, Miami beat 3 solid football team last season, Denver, Carolina (both were in the conference title games) and SD. Gus was the QB for all 3 of them. While you shouldn't give Gus all of the crdit for the 6 game winning streak you have to give him credit for playing efficiently enough to beat some good teams. With Culpepper we can't beat bad teams.

I bet if you took Daunte's last 16 games and Gus Frerrotte's last 16 games Frerrotte would have better stats. Yeah line up the excusus or tell me I'm stupid for even comparing the 2 that's fine. All I know is 2004 seems like a LLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago when I watch Daunte Culpepper play football.

Hey don't knock Hondas buddy! lol

I've got a 1997 Honda Civic four door that has almost 130,000 miles on it and it still gets about 28 miles to the gallon. I have yet to own a Ford that I can say the same about.
