The basic arguments I see here are: 1) We need to tank, and: 2) we need to fill holes. I feel both are RONG!!! | Page 7 | FinHeaven - Miami Dolphins Forums

Were you born rude or did you work at perfecting that trait? Ray wrote a thoughtful post about continual progression. What’s rong with that? NOTHING!

Lol what? What is actually thoughtful about developing our own players? Is that some new thing teams do? Have they never done that in the past?
Do you really think teams draft players and say, no, we don't need to develop him, let's just throw him in there and see what happens?

Cmon man, just because you your in love with Ray doesn't make it a "well thought out post". It's actually a very stupid post. And I call it like I see it. It's not my fault he thought this was some kind of new tactic that professional sports teams never thought of. Lol.

Sheesh!

Seriously?

If you don’t understand what is thoughtful about developing our own players, regardless of its timelessness, then there isn’t much point in discussing it. But you might consider being a bit more polite, even respectful towards a member of the greatest generation who (like you) served.

Enjoy Kansas.
 
Honestly this team is not built to win playoff football games. They honestly need to trade away any players that can garner draft picks and just rebuild but start in the trenches on both sides of the ball enough of this finesse football team we have had for years.

I like Ray, but he is a Baby Boomer, just as you and I are. The Greatest Generation was those born from about 1908 to 1926. The ones who fought in WWII.

I stand corrected. My father was part of the greatest generation. WW2 at the age of 17, Korea, Vietnam (as an advisor) and then Dept. of State until he retired.

My father was too. Born 1911. Graduated HS in 1929 and went to work in the woods as a timber faller with the old two-man crosscut saw. The hand briar or misery whip, I've heard them called. He was drafted at age 32 by the Navy. Flunked their physical due to a missing finger on one hand. A month later, the Army drafted him and didn't care about the missing finger. So he spent 2-3 years in the South Pacific as part of the 25th Infantry Division (Tropic Lightning), 35th Infantry Regiment(Cacti), qualified in the military occupational specialty of Telephone and Telegraph Lineman (mos 238). Served in the Northern Solomons and Luzon Campaigns. After the war, he came back home and went back to working in the woods, usually as a timber cutter, but now with power saws, though he worked on the rigging crew at times and on rare occasions in sawmills. From the early 1960s to the mid-70s, I only recall timber cutting. Retired from logging at age 65.
