Do these quotes sound familiar?

No matter what you think of these draft decisions the bottom line is we have no depth and minimal talent currently due to his decisions. He has put us in a salary cap situation that is completely screwed for next year. There is not one thing I will say positive about this man, he has made me for the first time in my life prefer to sell my tickets because I hate the team on the field and vibe in the crowd, its just gone completely WRONG.

I hate all the tradeups, trades for more expensive veteran players, ignoring certain roster positions, and the way he has handled contracts and the cap. Off with his head!

A spreadsheet look at players acquired simply does not tell the whole story about what Trader Mike is doing. He can’t see further than his nose.

A GM always needs to be thinking ahead and not just on todays roster. A good GM doesnt give away draft picks for veterans every season. We are paying the price now for having a short sighted GM who is never thinking about the future. Tannenbaum has done a miserable job

Tannenbaum is best at putting a band-aide on cancer. We will always be mediocre until we can actually find a direction and build towards it. All this patch work is going to give us what we’ve always got. mediocrity (at best)

I still think he always overvalued FAs.
I have never seen Tannenbaum’s method work for a franchise.

Mostly back in 2010 when I saw the moves he was making. But I stopped thinking that was the case when he kept making similar deals with pushing back guaranteed money in 2011, even when he and the other NFL teams knew not to expect a big climb in salary cap for 2012 and 2013. He was still making similar moves of just pushing back money and acting like he could always delay the cliff for another year (kind of like Congress with the fiscal budget!). Except now it’s catching up because the Jets aren’t get the results expected and flaws in the roster are being exposed.

These are the thoughts of 2012 New York Jets fans

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur
zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter! O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How loyal are your leaves/needles!
You’re green not only
in the summertime,
No, also in winter when it snows.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
How loyal are your leaves/needles!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen! O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
You can please me very much!
How often has not at Christmastime
A tree like you given me such joy!
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree,
You can please me very much!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Dein Kleid will mich
was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Trost und Kraft
zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum!
Das soll dein Kleid
mich lehren. O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
Your dress wants to
teach me something:
Your hope and durability
Provide comfort and strength
at any time.
O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree
That’s what your dress should
teach me.

Ok, I had no idea Tannebaum meant “Christmas Tree” in German. How fitting - he doles out gift money like Santa to mediocre free agents.

Tannenbaum (Mike) sucks. He’s not a football guy. He’s a loser and a fraud whose claim to fame was drafting Revis. Yay.
 
After reading that, makes one want to slit their risk. I brought up something similar to this earlier on the fact that I don't understand what plan he has in place or even if he has a plan. Tannenbaum need to change his thinking on how to build a team, or does he even know how to do that? I am one of the few people and I mean few, who have defended him and some of his decision making, but if he does not get his act together, the Dolphins will finally need to make a change.
 
And yet some people here think he's doing a great job.....lol......I guess when you're used to losing anything looks ok. But Ross will keep him because he's clueless too as to how to run an NFL team. I know Ross wants to win but he doesn't understand that will not happen if he keeps t-dumb

Ozzy rules!!
 
Conundrum issue for me with both Gase and Tbum on our team since they both showed up. I want to win but that means Tbum gets to stay meaning we won't go far thus I want to loose to see him go so we can find the right GM. Hopefully Gase has more pull with Ross than Tbum and convince Ross he needs a better choice.
