Excellent post, and right on about the "lost" nature of this franchise since Shula left.
This post is not about "The next Marino" at all, no matter how some of you want to spin it.
Its about the frustration of a fan who has given his faith year after year for nearly a generation to an organization that has let him down time after time , an organization that seems to not understand the game as its played today under the rules in place. An organization that gives it lip service but doesn't seem to really get that the QB is the single most important position in team sports.
We all want and have every right to expect this team to make a priority of finding a quarterback capable of leading a championship team. I don't believe anyone expects us to luck into another QB of Marino's caliber as a passer, that would be to much to expect. But we certainly expect our QB to throw more touchdowns than interceptions, and we expect our QB to make plays when they matter....not falter.
It seems many fans are now in the annual fog of pre-season illusion, they tell themselves that the Henne of the past will not be the Henne of the future. That the QB who threw the inaccurate passes is suddenly going to get more accurate because of Reggie Bush and Mike Pouncey, they've put out of their minds the lies of the organization that promised all off-season we would have "real competition" at QB. Most of us were under the Assumption that finding a real QB for the future was a mandate of the owner to Sparano, and still nothing transpired. Unless a last minute deal for Palmer or Orton happens it will be more of the same this year.
Every Dolphin fan has the right to be disgusted, or "sick to our stomachs"( as Sparano was over the booing of Henne) of the situation here at QB and the failure of this organization once again to properly address it.
