Polian said Marshall had nothing to do with Manning, confused on trade

[PALMA]

The original Brandon Marshall trade to the Dolphins was a mistake.

We're just making up for that. Perhaps if we had waited until after the draft we could have traded Marshall for more than two 3rd rounders. Of course we don't know if Marshall had requested a trade, and if he did, with every passing day there would have been the chance of a Marshall blowout. A Marshall blowout would have had big consequences on his trade value.

We got something in return for him, and honestly there were points last year I would have taken a 5th rounder to get him off the team. We're left a big gaping hole at #1, but Marshall was never going to be that #1 to get us over the hump and on to a dominate post season run. His baggage is too much, his inconsistency too larger, lack of greatness too glaring. Sure the Bears made out well, but they also have to deal with all the issues Denver and Miami did.

Let me put it this way...if Marshall's antics follow him to Chicago, Chicago is going to end up trading him for even less then what Denver and Miami did. Two teams have already given up the guy, even after Pro Bowl seasons.

Give it up man. This type of thinking has caught me in the past as well. There is nothing planned, there is no savior or crazy scenario unfolding that nobody saw coming. The Dolphins got robbed, and we are a worse team now.

Could not have said it any better myself.

People keep trying to run down Marshall. What did he do that was so bad since he's been at Miami? Oh yeah, he went to a pro-bowl and was our most effective offensive weapon. If there is nothing behind this other than they got screwed on the trade, then our FO is truly lost and we are in big trouble. Remember how we were just clamoring for a #1 WR just a couple years ago. So we went out and got one and he became our #1 WR and a pro-bowler. Two third rounders for him was highway robbery.

Maybe Bill Polian can put all that info in a memo and title it "sh*t we already know".

Not sure why, but I find that ****ing hilarious...almosted pissed my pants laughing so hard. AWESOME!!!!!!

polian brought the bills to 4 straight superbowls, built the panthers, and had one of the best runs in NFL history with the colts, I think he knows a little bit about the value of an NFL player?

The Bills??? This was 20 years ago my friend. Have you seen Polian as of late? He shakes more than Michael J. Fox and he gives new meaning to the name Capt. Obvious.

The confused thing must be something new for him.

There ain't nothing planned. We are a joke and laughing stock in the league.

Its really looking that way...sigh

doesnt matter how old he is, he still understands that trading a 6'4 215lb #1 WR for two 3rd round picks is a complete joke, the value we got in return was awful

- a WR that drops way too many balls
- a WR that has had some serious on the field and off the field incidents, both before and after joining the Dolphins

Sorry, the dude may be a physical specimen, but he ain't all roses.

With all his baggage, I think TWO #3's is a good thing for the Dolphins. I hope he goes to the Bears and has a wonderful career.
