Schlereth - "Dolphins No Good"

Did Marshall win any games for us last year? I think not, so better OL rook QB and solid D that should play from day one and the softer schedule.
The Fins should do better than last year, I forgot better coaching.
 
I say we have 4 win just in our division!

I guarantee he didn't look at anything other than other morons opinions to come up with his opinion. Didn't look at our overall roster, our sucesses last year, or our schedule. He actually linked us cutting Chad Johnson with us starting Tannehill. I don't follow that connection at all.
 
Do not know if I agree with everything he said, but I have to admit that if we go with Tannehill as the starter, there are going to be growing pains. I would hope that we would be better than a 4 win team. I think with the defense and hopefully the running game(I know it looked like crap the 1st preseason game), we could pull out a couple of unexpected wins during the season.

He's not really right until we prove him otherwise. Would he be right until proven otherwise if in his opinion we were going to go undefeated? It is just his opinion based on nothing more than popular opinion. And while popular opinion can be right sometimes, it is wrong more often.
 
I see us beating the Jets twice, the Bills once, the Pats once. That's four wins there. I think we beat the Cardinals , Seahawks, Raiders, Rams, Colts, and Jags. So what is he basing is logic on.
 
Do these pundits (i refuse to call them analysts for the obvious reason) ever use the term "in my opinion" or is it always some knucklehead on Mike & Mike or NFL Live declaring an opinion to be fact, as if their opinion is the only one that matters? i think it would make them look less like an a-hole when making a comment like the one above... Personally, i cant take all the deutchbaggery that goes on over at ESPN, and mike and mike is the worst (Greenberg is suck a weaselly little f-bomb and Golic seems to be starving for attention and acceptance from that little turd, i don't know how that guy can respect himself when he walks off the set.)

What he is basically saying is that because Miami is "likely" going to start Tannehill from day one that the team has essentially thrown in the towel on the 2012 season. I don't buy that at all, Philbin and Ireland still want to win games and they are not giving up on the season because they are starting Tannehill. Did the Bengals throw in the towel last year when they started Dalton? The Ravens with Flacco in 2008? If Tannehill starts from day one it is because the coaching staff believes he gives them the best chance to win on Sundays over the veterans. Tannheill will have growing pains and MIGHT cost this team a game or two, but they are not giving up on the 2012 season.

Do you think Ireland would be satisfied if they had another losing season? Do you think the fans won't be vocal about Ireland's job if they lose again? Losing this season might actually be the worst thing for the long term success of this franchise. If they finish 4-12 or 5-11, fans are going to call for Ireland's head. If Ross listens to them and replaces him, the new GM might want his own coach which means Philbin is out the door. If a new coach comes in, he will want his scheme and might send players out the door. Perhaps Tannehill doesn't fit what the new coach wants. A losing season might set this franchise back another 5 years.

Great post Nubs but if it is a 4 loss season I doubt Ireland is in trouble if Tannehill shows progress.
 
Thank you Mark Schlereth! We need the expectations to be LOW. I think we lost early last season because the lockout left our defense in sad shape. We got the defense together and Moore managed a fair amount of wins to be honest. IMHO, our defense isn't going to be as good as it was under Nolan, so it will take a major step up offensively to even reach 6 wins. But, low expectations can make 6 wins look like progression and not undermine what Philbin is building here. So, thanks Markie Mark of the funstache, keep preaching how we're going to suck. Make sure the Texans hear it a bunch. Just be sure to download that recipe for crow cooking, because if Tannehill doesn't throw a ton of INT's, you might just have to eat some of that crow.

The best thing for the fins would to see glimpses and stretches of strong play from Tann Marino, but to lose as many games as possible. This way, you know you have a franchise qb, and now you have high picks to surround him with.

Winning 6 games would be a disaster for the fins.

I understand your logic, but unlike last year, I want them to win every week. Why? To get a franchise QB, history shows you normally don't get one unless he's a 1st round pick.

Hopefully Tannehill pans out and we win! That will mean the team surrounding him is better than we thought, and this rebuilding project won't take as long. Outside of QB, you can generally find players in any round of the draft, regardless of your position.
 
The Fact that Ryan Tannehill was the #8th pick of the 1st round, IMO gives Ireland until end of the 2013 season. Ross knows this could be a 6-8 win team this year. Ross wanted a QB and now he has one, he'd be stupid to think Tannehill can win big in his 1st year, those aren't good odds. The fact that Tannehill has progressed as quickly as he has so far, is a testament too his learning capabilities. This system is perfect for this kid and IF Ross were to be dumb enough to think bringing in a new GM will solve the issue of winning, he better think twice. New GM usually means everything changes. But as it stands now, IF Tannehill is the starter and he shows progress throughout the season; that is the best Miami can hope for. 6-8 wins at best, it have to be a total disaster for a 4 win season to happen.
 
Seriously look at his daughter, stop listening to him and close this post out. We are on our way.
 
I can't argue with the guy. IMHO, our defense and WR corps are dreadful. Maybe worse than that. Our only hope is seeing glimmers of greatness from the arm of #17 as the season progresses, because it could get ugly folks.
 
Is it possible to look up what Mark Schlereth thought in preseason 2008?
 
I'd prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt as being dyslexic = and that what he really meant was the Fins are a "4 loss" team

Tann Marino is the best nickname i have heard for him yet! Let's hope he can live up to the moniker.
