Richie wants to return to the Fins

RI's entire college and NFL history disputes what you're saying.

Except for the history that has his teammates vote for him to be a leader, and for having his side the whole time? I guess we can just forget about that. I'm not saying richie is a choir boy. I know he's done some bad things. Not many people out there can say they haven't done some bad things. And honestly, the NFL is for my entertainment, and want to see my favorite team win. I think he can do that. you don't agree, that's fine.
 
JTC I'm not gonna get into with you today. maybe it is just something a lot of people wont get. The media and whoever can call Richie whatever they want. BUT 50 other men in that lockeroom disagree and it just so happen that those are the only 50 people that it matters to. THEY SAY HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND LEADER. F*CK what you or I or the media or Rodger say! You get it now? So who is right? I would say they are becasue it does not concern anyone else and they know best.

Okay, give me some examples of how RI's leadership made this a better team?

i'm not in the locker room, so i can't really say....either way. Can you? what i can say is, richie was ranked in the top 20 for pass blocking, in 2010 for miami. in 2011, he allowed only 1.5 sacks. richie made his first pro bowl appearance after the 2012 season. Pretty sure that all made the dolphins a better team, on the field. which is really all i care about.

Thank you. People get to wrapped up in these guys personal lives. Thats not my or anyone elses concern.
 
Seeing that J.Philbin wanted to get rid of him before last season even started probably should clearly let Richie know that it's not ever gonna happen.
 
Regardless, we need to put Richie and everyone else that was involved in the rear view mirror...This franchise is in desprate need to turn the page on the Bully-Gate scandal as well as turning the corner as a franchise that will be relevant again on a yearly basis.

No, I can't give you any examples of RI making this team better but I'm not claiming he was a good leader without any evidence that he was a good leader. So far, all you've given me is the NFL equivalent of being elected prom king.

If his individual stats are all you care about, why are you going on about him being a good leader? The two things aren't synonymous.

um, i gave you the evidence of the other teammates that have richie's back, after this crap blew up. i just meant i couldn't give anything personally, since i'm not on the team.

since this is a team sport, his individual stats, which are pretty good, helps improve the team, as a whole. if he stunk, the team would do worse, more than likely.
 
No thanks. He made his bed with the Dolphins. We don't need the added distraction. Time to move on.

I wish him luck and hopefully e can grow as a person due to this fiasco.

It's good that we have turned the page on both of those mental cases. However, a reasonable observation would be that from the lockerroom standpoint, teammates would be more inclined to welcome a marginally-effective mentally unbalanced alpha dog who has demonstrated an ability to get along with his teammates rather than a mentally unbalanced, considerably-underperforming, gun-brandishing, suicidal, mama's boy snitching team cancerous crybaby quitter. However, whether it's truly "Bully-gate," (the texts all released in context demonstrate that despite Martin's handlers' best initial attempts it was less of "racist-gate" than any of Ndominkin Suh's 6 onfield assaults) or "Scapegoat-gate," it's all moot since we're better off watching this cluster**** grow dim through our rear view mirror. :up:
 
basically, what i'm saying is, I can't come to the conclusion that he's a good leader, but i can't say he's a bad leader. All i have to go by, is what his own teammates think of him, and have been vocal about, during the whole investigation. And the fact that we have a hole at the guard position. which he could fill, and would be an upgrade, at this point.
 
He's caused problems on every organized football team he's been a part of. Been kicked off nearly every one of them too. People still want this psycho on the team. I wish I could say I can't believe it, but I do. I'm just glad he won't be coming back. Dream the impossible dream, Incognito fans. He won't be back. He may not even be back in football at all.
 
I don't think Dennis Hickey, in his first offseason as a GM, is going to bring back one of the 2 names that have caused one of the biggest NFL scandals in years.

Good luck elsewhere Richie.
 
I guess they allow mediocore players in the Pro bowl. Richie is a good football player. He just got comfortable and made some bad decisions. I hope he gets a second chance, just not with the Dolphins. We've had enough negative press and need to move on building this franchise back to it once was.
