Ross Wanted Two Of The Last 4 Super Bowl QBs

[Fin-Loco]

If Ross had had his druthers he’d have gotten Burrow or Brady. Flores got in the way of both. Maybe instead of tearing him apart, we should contemplate acquiescing to his desires as we’d either have a fresh Lombardi in the cabinet or be going to play for one in a fortnight…

If we had Burrow we would have our franchise QB but I highly doubt we would be in the SB. I've seen a lot of short throws go for long gains when watching the Bengals and outside of Waddle we don't have those players. Nor do we know if Flores a guy who was outcoached by Urban Meyer can outcoach Andy Reid or Mike Vabrel in the playoffs.

Brady is a different story since he would bring AB, Gronk, and other players would sign with us for the possibility of playing with the GOAT and winning a SB. Plus I'd like to believe with Brady on the roster we go all in and pick players to win now instead of projects like Iggy and Jackson maybe we take Jonathan Taylor, instead of Tua maybe we trade down and pick a player that can have an immediate impact like Jerry Jeudy or one of the tackles selected before Austin Jackson. The 1st round of 2020 looks so different if were drafting players to help us win a SB in year 1. I know it's a pipe dream but it's nice to think about.

Since when was Ross a talent coach? All I know is that the team has gone nowhere near playoffs let alone a Superbowl under his ownership.

Let me go ahead and reiterate the op as you’ve not read it it would seem. He wanted Burrow and Brady. Tried to make both happen.

But, but Ross is the problem, I mean Grier. Ross. Grier...Waaaa LOL

lol at anyone defending Stephen Ross at this point. Literally nothing good has happened to this once respected NFL franchise since Ross has owned the team. He's ruined everything good about the Miami Dolphins and we are currently having TONS of negative press right now. So many posters shrugged off my posts regarding how bad its gonna look at Stephen Ross firing a young (only 40 years old) black head coach after 2 straight winning seasons (not to mention a 4-2 record vs the Pats and the only Dolphins coach to sweep Belicheat). The Fins were clearly tanking during Flores 1st season imo.

And regarding Ross wanting Burrow and Brady, well that's just great. I too wanted Burrow and Brady too but both weren't realistic options at the time. Didn't Stephen Ross want Watson as well (even though he is facing over 20 sexual misconduct lawsuits)??? smdh

One thing the fan base was mostly together on was not liking Ross. Now we can’t even all agree on that thanks to the punk Flores.

IMO the point of our tear down was getting the 1st overall pick so we could take whatever QB we wanted. Winning 5 games landed us out of contention for the top QB. The hype around Burrow going #1 overall probably started after Ross was pissed we were winning garbage games.

 

[DolfanISS]

If we had drafted Burrow we’d still had been bitching about Herbert up until about 3 weeks ago. That’s the truth.

Definitely had Burrow got hurt with us in 2020. We’d have so much backtracking going on right now, and there already is, it wouldn’t even be funny.

 

[AdamD13]

The delusion that Brady would have chosen the Dolphins over the Buccaneers given the state of their rosters in 2019 is ridiculous.

Why stop at ridiculous? Let’s take it to crazy by blaming Flores for not getting Burrow because he had the audacity to coach the Dolphins into winning games.

Behind the scenes Ross has been in lock and step with what the fans want. Aside from the team curse where anything that can go wrong does mainly in this instance it was Flo screwing everything up for the Phins while turning a blind eye to the Pats shenanigans for a million years. I agree with the Op, Ross wants a championship more than any of the fans and I'm sure he's doing everything he can to get Harbaugh to come to Miami. If that doesn't happen it will be due to Harbaugh's decision not Ross.

You cannot simply want something and expect him to workout in a team that is obviously missing pieces. This isn't madden, or fantasy football. Had Brady wanted to come here he would have made that happen, but he saw a better market with Tampa. I mean, when was the last time we had a player with the Caliber of Brady to want to be here, specially during the last two decades?

Some would

Also, can someone inform the Burrow lovers that the Bengals have advanced to the SB and not Joe Burrow all by himself?

I didn’t see JB make any of those clutch kicks by the rookie kicker that set records or make any defensive plays to limit the Titans and Chiefs offenses or turn trivial short gain receptions into long TD runs.

It’s a “team” game people.

I swear, everyone is being a hypocrite now. Ross has been in lock and step with what the fans want? Why is it a coincidence that everyone that coaches here doesn't crack the 500's, and gets fired?

I didn’t say that. Just saying Ross wanted 2 of the last 4 SB qbs. Are you saying that at minimum, we wouldn’t have been better than Tua at QB had he gotten his way?
