Like many others I feel the frustration of being a Miami Dolphin fan. I am not a fan that knows the Xs & Os like some others here but I thought of another reason why they may have traded Marshall. It is my understanding that the Dolphins will be using a "West Coast" type offense under coach Philbin. Correct me if I am wrong but this offense uses alot of timing routes. In my opinion Brandon Marshall is not a disciplined route runner. Receivers in this offense would have to run disciplined, clean routes. I would think if the receiver does not, this would lead costly turnovers. Possibly this played into the decision to trade him to the Bears.
I was disappointed that we only received 2 - 3round picks because B.M. is extremely talented but I could see him having trouble in the new system. I don't even know if he has played in a "West Coast" offense before so I could be wrong. I would think a quick, slightly smaller (than B. M.) and disciplined route running receiver would be ideal. I am not saying he is a #1 but Bess would probably thrive in the W.C.. Either way we will still need a #1 receiver so a hole has been created.

Please excuse my lackluster writing skills, as you can see by my post count I don't post often (but I am here reading daily).
 
Marshall played in the west coast offense with denver and he thrived, I just think this latest incident with punching the girl in the face was the straw that broke the camels back, we still need a #1 WR that scares defenses and draws double coverage.

The incident had nothing to do with the trade. the only thing it did was cheapen the compensation. Ireland was working on trading him now for sometime which shows just how ****ty of a GM he is for not preparing properly to replace him.

Well both teams knew about the incident I dont know that both teams knew the details of it tho... Santanio Holmes was traded for a 5th round draft pick and he had a tiny contract.. Marshall is likley to get a four game suspension just like Holmes..Marshall has a high priced contract yet Miami got 2 3rd round draft picks. Holmes was a super bowl MVP. Are you sure we didnt get good value for Marshall? I think we got a heck of a deal.
