Tyreke Hill is a BIG FISH in the NFL (pun intended). While his addition to this Miami roster is huge from a talent stand point alone, I’m already seeing something even more powerful bubbling up to the surface: This dude 100% believes in Tua, he’s vocal about it, and his teammates (especially his WR’s and TE’s) are following suit. Today, Hill posted that video on his Twitter defending Tua and you have Waddle following it up with his “Right in the bread basket” comment.

This team is uniting, which in all honesty, really hasn’t been the case in Miami for far too long. We’ve got an HC and OC that are already of the “**** you, we’ll win with Tua” mindset, and it’s clear to see that it’s spreading across the team. When you have a proven winner and top 3 WR like Tyreke Hill jump on board, it cements it even further.

I honestly I hope that the haters turn up the volume even louder on their offseason bitchfest because all that’s gonna do is fuel the fire and galvanize this team even further. Think about just how different the team environment is going to be like compared to the one that was in place with Flores. I HATE giving Ross any type of credit, but if he hadn’t made the decision to fire Flo after a winning season, the direction of this franchise couldn’t be more different than it is today. We’d have no Tyreke Hill, we’d be breaking in yet another new OC, Gaskin and Ahmed would still be RB1 and RB2, and knowing what Flo thinks of Tua, I have zero doubts that Flo would have strong armed Grier into bringing in an NFL journeyman QB to supplant Tua.

It feels like a REALLY special era of Miami Dolphins football is dawning and I’m ****ing here for it! I really can’t understand having a negative take on what’s going on in Miami or with Tua for that matter but you know what Abraham Lincoln famously said after we bombed Pearl Habor: “HATERS GONNA HATE!”

I quoted this portion of your post because it’s a great point that’s largely going unrecognized.

W/O firing Flores, most of the big changes don’t happen. It was a controversial decision (according to some) but I believe will prove to be the correct decision.

I also concur with your point about veteran players backing up their QB. It is great to see.

Most of them are hiding currently... the offseason went very well, so then pity party squad is off licking their wounded egos.

They'll be back as soon as Tua has a 2 interception game. Heh! Count on it.

I'm quite happy with what I'm seeing this offseason... and I think you described it very well. The team is openly coalescing around both Tua and McD in a way that Flores NEVER managed-- he was too busy strutting around and proving he was in charge.

Tua wont have to be great... only pretty good. This is the deepest team we've had in over a decade.

My target was never confined to just what we see on Finheaven, because it goes much broader than that. Twitter was in uproar over the Tua video from a couple of days ago. Local and national members of the media pile on daily, and there seems to be a national narrative being pushed that now Tua “has no more excuses” with the talent Miami has surrounded him with when quite honestly, I can’t remember one single excuse coming out of Tua’s mouth.

I was a Flores supporter and was shocked when he was fired. Then, after many verifiable internal stories about his behavior came out and his BS lawsuit etc., I realized just how wrong I was about him. Kudos to Ross for making the change and not trying sacrificing another season to internal drama.

The biggest thing I want to see from Tua is a killer instinct to mercilessly finish off games.

I will admit that I personally see a lot less Tua haters. Of course I have placed just about everyone of them on ignore. So that certainly decreases the number of them I have to put up with.

I prefer coming on here and reading the positives this time of year because there will be plenty of negatives to read once the season begins if the Dolphins struggle at all during the season.

You can't criticize the team for anything on this site without being called a hater or pessimistic and having your opinion ridiculed.

And that is why I believe the Miami Dolphins have done everything right for the last 3 decades.

I fully believe the Dolphins have Public Relations/social media staff on here for damage control or we have the biggest homers who have ever existed spewing delusional dribble about every single topic.

There are a few guys who stand out, but one guy in particular is borderline on every single thread protecting the image of the team, and he may even reply to this very post.

I too fail to see many of these posts, and will continue to add to the "list" so that I don't have to read some sanctimonious BS from people who pretend to be fans all the while snidely attacking the team and its supporters on this forum. Debate is good as long as it's all not totally negative, Bye the way, another to the list...

Absolute nonsense. And a typical response from the incessant negative nancies.

There’s a big difference between being critical when warranted versus being downright negative on a consistent basis. Overly critical. When someone does that, people are going to push back. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

Conversely someone can easily argue that they can’t post anything positive without being called a homer or overly optimistic and having their opinion ridiculed by an ever present faction of fans here.

You act as if you don’t browse through all the threads here. Anybody that does should be able to easily spot the doom cloud that invades nearly every single thread that starts out positively.

I challenge you to find ONE thread re: Tua Tagavailoa that was intended to be positive in nature that wasn’t eventually polluted with negativity. Usually quite quickly. Even when the author pleads to members to skip the thread if they don’t have anything positive to say.

So please spare everyone the crying game victimhood nonsense.
