We haven't had a 9 win season since 2008. Why is everybody crying about losing these players (Miller, OV, Matthews) that we've lost with the past few years. It's time to move on. I'm tired of being middle of the road, I want to win the whole damn thing!
 
I agree. OV was just average until last season which was a contract year. He got his money and he will now be a bust in NYG. Miller was good not great and I don't disagree with letting him walk. I do like Rishard but it's not like he isn't replaceable. We will be just fine
 
Mostly I feel like because they were actually the good players we had. Also its sad to see a few our draft picks finally pan out then leave immediately but Dallas Thomas is still on the team. Also because pretty much every guy we have brought in is coming off of their worst season as a pro and most had serious injuries. Also we slid down in the draft when a lot of us were excited to get a shot at Jack or Hargreaves. It just feels like there is no real direction going on here except assembling a 2013 all star team. I truly hope I'm wrong but this does not feel like the direction of building a winner. We will see!
 
I think it's more that it wasn't there fault we sucked. They are a few of the bright spots on the team. It the other players like Dallas Thomas and guys like that. Getting rid of the few players who are good is stupid. You keep guys like that and build around them. You don't replace them and build around guys like Dallas Thomas!!
 
Because Miller & Matthews were good players that have been screwed for the past 3 years & have a very high upside & are young. We have no proven replacements & now have holes on offensive skill players. Keeping those 2 would have allowed us to focus on OL, LB, DB & DL in FA and draft. Pretty pissed and I am a MT supporter
 
Teams have to keep their best players and get even better players in the draft. We are letting our best players walk. Our depth sucks and by loosing our best players, we have to replace them in the draft. This KS our depth bad, and if some of our draft picks turn into Dallas Thomases and Dion Jordans we only get worse.
 
Only real positive is we're spending mediocre money. We aren't paying big bucks for anyone like last year.
 
I had no problem losing Grimes and Vernon. Grimes because he really declined and was an off field issue (wife), and Vernon because I am sooooooo glad we did not pay him that much money. I don't like that we lost Miller because he didn't have such an outrageous deal. Matthews sucks to lose, but I like our WR's and we need to KEEEEPPPP those guys whenever they become free agents. Shelby I have no opinion on, I never understood the hype around him.
 
If we Dont spend big we could be in like for 3-4 comp picks in 2017.

For you guys who cry about us over spending and not building in the draft, that looks like what mike is doing here. But who knows...
 
The only thing to be sad about is we haven't purged enough of these scrubs!
 
Miller is the only loss that bothers me. They could've afforded him. He also could've excelled under Gase. I wonder where the FO's mindset is regarding RB.
 
Miller couldn't break a tackle to save his life and he also had some key fumbles that costs us games. OV is solid... 80 mill solid... NOOOOOO! It's business... quit falling in love with local guys. I wish them the best, but I'm looking forward to seeing a Phins team with a new look. We've been too damn bad for too damn long. We have a new staff, if that means new players than so be it. Our core is Landry, Parker, Cameron, Pouncey, James, Albert, Tanne, Suh, Wake, Jenkins, and Jones. Outside of that list everybody can get the steppin!

Probably thinking Jeremy Langford and CJ Anderson thrived under gase and no ome even knew who they were, if Gase did it for the last 2 teams he can do it again.

I like Matthews. I really do. But he wanted #2 WR Money when he was 3rd probabaly 4th most talented WR on this roster. Wasn't going to happen.
Running back is the most replaceable position in the NFL nowadays. C.J. Anderson is a marginal back...He just won a SB as a starter. I wih Miller well, but yea...Idc if he runs for 5,000 yrds this yr
He wasn't doig it here behind this line that needs to have money put into it...not RB.

My grip is the guys we are adding to the roster. Williams and Maxwell do almost nothing for me....I like Kiko. but a healthy Kiko is something thats seen on a rare occasion.
 
Still a lot of FA left. Think a guy like Vasquez can help a ton. I'm heartbroken cause I wanted nd thought there was a good chance Miles Jack would slip to 8....now at 13 I'm hoping Staley but the line must be addressed in atleast 1 of the 1st 2 rds. I'm fine with cutting the deadweight (Grimes best yrs are behind him, Veronon was destined to get overpaid) but you have to draft wekk and stop rolling the dice on 30 somethings to "bounce back". The Compensatory picks is what really has me excited.
