Welcome [Insert Name Here],

Let me start off by saying congratulations. You have been selected to my favorite football team of all time: The Miami Dolphins. As you may know, we have a very distinguished history, especially considering we are the franchise to have the only undefeated season in National Football League history.

Now, keep in mind, there is a lot of things you should know: You're not considered a rookie in our eyes. Oh no. You are supposed to be the best at your position since [insert best player in our history relative to respective position]. It wouldn't have mattered if you were a long-snapper, you're supposed to do amazing things. In one game, you're supposed to post every (positive) stat possible.

You won't have as much leeway as our seventh, sixth, fourth, third, or even second round draft picks. Soon as you make your first mistake, you will run a very high risk of earning the title of bust. The three-year rule doesn't apply to you, neither do otherwise legitimate excuses, such a your receivers dropping passes, bad offensive line play, or coordinators who seem to think that the responsibilities of your position on the field is the opposite of what you're supposed to do. Somehow, when you hit the field, you're supposed to make the whole unit in firstballot Hall of Famers.

Unfortunately, if you make one mistake, like a dropped pass, one bad throw, or even get mugged by a cornerback, it is your fault. Some fans might come to your aid, but to no avail. You'll be the worst bust in NFL history since Ryan Leaf, despite the fact you hadn't even peeked over the hole that was Leaf's career.

But please, do not feel any pressure. You just have to at least be able to hold the jockstrap of Marino, Clayton, Duper, Webb, Stephenson, Oliver, Anderson, Scott, Griese, Briscoe, Csonka, Kiick, Morris, Roby, Nails, Thomas, Taylor, Madison, Surtain, Marion, and several other players.

But again, no worries.

Sincerely,
Silverphin.

Genius..:sidelol: :sidelol: I wish I had the grammar and writing skills you possess, because I would have express this long time ago..by the way we should of forwarded to this the likes of Vernon Carey and Jason Allen..
 
Pretty funny...:sidelol:

This is a perfect letter for all the haters and pessimists. Why even bother waiting to call players like Ronnie Brown, J. Allen, Y Bell, C. Lemon(not saying Lemon is a starter but he is a very capable back-up) a bust before they get a chance to prove themselves. Now pessimists can label them bust even before we draft the player. Great post, this saves the pessimists on this board alot of time...

The funny and serious thing is, we all know there are people on this board that will be calling some of our draft picks busts even before training camp starts
 
Do you mail this out at the start of his holdout or do you wait the three weeks when he actually signs?
 
Good post!

Great comment!
 
It's funny, but the sad thing is that some people seriously feel that way. I remember when people were calling Carey a bust and reach after his first year, but he's now a top ten RT. And, hey, it took 3 years.
 
THat was genius. SO funny. You should write one to mgmt about the painfully obvious need for a legitimate qb. THe carosel needs to stop. And our other talent is wasting quickley until that happens
