So Parker Might Not Play This Week Either

You've been around here long enough bro, to know that's how some members operate. Personally, I hope Parker has a good game and shuts all the naysayers the hell up.

Oh, I know.

I have just never understood it.

If someone is a bad person, not giving effort, milking injuries, locker room cancer...have at it.

When someone is hit with injuries and just wants to get out there and help the team, what's the point in dumping on them?

That's not "discussing" the player.

I understand someone saying "the dude was a first round pick, he keeps getting injured, he comes back too soon and he isn't as effective when he plays hurt."

Or "when he's healthy he hasn't been as good as I'd hoped he'd be, I'm disappointed in him and concerned he might bust."

Then you can have a discussion.
 
Bizarrely, Parker getting hurt etc has maybe helped the O become better by making them a machine with expectations of multiple parts contributing, rather than hope of relying on 1 big cog that is often broken or not working right.

If Parker comes back, plays a role and makes plays when his number is called, that's good enough for me. He doesn't have to be Julio.

Yes, he was a 1st round pick, but that was 3 years ago. That ship has sailed. It doesn't matter where he was picked now, all that matters is whether he helps Miami win.

Ugh, this WR group is near the bottom of the league in yards, ypc and TDs. Why do people have this perception that they’re any good? Now, this poster isn’t only talking about the WRs. But I keep hearing similar things or that this WR group is really good. Yes, Wilson made a nice hesitation move that bought him enough time and space to turn the corner. Grant made a couple nice plays. Stills with his TDs is a nice start. But near the bottom as a group statistically. That means other teams are making more plays at WR, meaning when compared to others they’re not that good. I just think it’s the bias on this board and for those who only watch the Dolphins, then you’re not seeing the whole picture.

I am pretty sure its because they are 2-0 at this point...If they were 0 -2 then the ol,wr,def,qb & every other part of the team would be considered trash.
Wins = Good

Albert Wilson leads the NFL in average separation. He’s always open.

Also, Miami isnt throwing the ball all over the place so far this year, so of course a group of WRs aren’t going to be leading the NFL in anything. When you spread the ball around on limited attempts your corps numbers won’t be high.

I believe I saw a stat that said the Dolphins had the highest run to pass ratio in the NFL. Did you consider that in making your "whole picture"?

You almost had an angle there. Too bad you didn’t do the research first. Did you see they’re near the bottom in total plays and it’s balanced: 60 rush to 56 pass.

For someone who complains a lot about the bias on a fan forum you sure post a lot.

It was RATIO of run to pass, not number of plays...

And that's part of the point. What you are calling balanced is not the state of pass to run now in the NFL.

See Miami on the bottom?

Before making comments about not doing research perhaps you should read what is being said more carefully.
