I think his point still stands. He came up in a bad organization and was appointed GM and they became the gold standard for how a franchise should be run.
A - That was not his point
B - They were pretty good when Ozzie Newsome was there
C -There are exceptions to every rule, even if right in theory it was a non point to begin with
Damn yeah, if they are trying to paint a picture of a guy that "overcame" bullshit in his life (just another tragedy story, nothing special) then I know they are just grooming the audience for the inevitable hire of him.All three of these articles out today:

I do not believe in coincidences. I think the reporters are spoon fed these straight from the Miami Dolphins. It implies they have decided on Champ as the next GM, and the theoretical search is fake, it is just PR optics. They will tell us they scoured the known universe, and decided Champ was the best man for the job. Reality probably is nobody good wants to come here, and they already know it, because Ross just wants to run the place the same way with bandaids, and saddle the next GM with McDaniel as the head coach.
The articles are paywalled, so you might not be able to read them. But I can summarize. They don't really highlight Champ's bonafides to be the next GM, because they don't really exist. How can they, when the guy was previously at two organizations (Raiders, Bears) that imploded and drafted terribly, and did everything else wrong as well, and you also have no idea exactly what he did and what he was responsible for? The articles seem to focus more on his life story, which is nice and inspirational, and the fact that Champ seems to be a good guy too. Great, but this is the NFL, not the Red Cross. Here is an example of the types of things the articles focus on:
"Kelly’s father was a drug dealer and mother a drug addict. He was primarily raised by his grandmother, Mary Sorey, in the small northern Florida town of Campbellton, which has a population of fewer than 500 people."
Ladies and gentleman, welcome Champ as the new GM, and welcome McDaniel back as your head coach.
Wash, rinse, repeat. Same owner, same decisions. Why would anybody be surprised?
PS Dolphins PR is not so smart - when you push stuff on reporters such that the articles all come out on the same day, well it is kind of obvious. They do this crap all the time too if you pay attention. We will get hit with articles about a certain player or a certain something, by all of the major local publications at the same time, for no real apparent catalyst. In this case, the team is about to play a game in Madrid, Grier was fired two weeks ago, and all of the sudden we get the Champ media blitz. Yes, so obvious, and so JV!
I believe you are right on this one, and if it comes to fruition, I will find different things to do next year on Sundays.

“Self own”? “Done with my posts?” Are you 12?
But yeah, I could have used a better example.
I’m sorry if I pointed out the contradictions in your posts and made you angry.
How we root has no effect on the outcome of the games. Nobody “needs” to do anything.

The Browns were 36-44 in Cleveland between 1991-1995 when Ozzie was there.
McDaniel and Champ. Quite the pair. I can see why Ross wants to roll it all back. NOT!!!! What a joke this game is, some of the worst coaching decisions I have ever seen. Defies belief.
yup, they are all coming back with champ at the helm: https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1990044515034452151
Football is funny. If the defense had learned how to play, well, defense before the 7th-8th game of the season, and Tua wasn’t a shell of his former self, this team could realistically be tied with the Bills right now. The offense, even with Tua, no Tyreek, and a bad OL, has played well to very well in 7 out of 10 games.
If this team is 7-3 Grier is most likely still the GM. I’m sure we’d still have calls for his firing (I would be), and people would still not like MM and Tua, but at least we’d be in the playoff hunt.
Saying all of that, I haven’t seen any calls for a Weaver firing?

your posts remind me a lot of someone else. it says you joined in 2021, but you only have 145 messages, and they seem to be happening all of the sudden. at this rate, if you were around since 2021, you should have about 25,000 messages. what prompted your interest in showing up and posting so much all of the sudden if you were dormant for 4 years? i would have thought you would have been quite active in 2023, when they were actually good.
I started posting here a few years ago but found a smaller, more intimate Dolphins forum so I didn’t come here much except to lurk. This forum always seemed too jumbled and haphazard for my tastes, but beggars can’t be choosers. The old site has slowly dwindled and it’s just an echo chamber now. I totally forgot that I was paying for a club membership here… might as well use it.

Haha - I think you're spot on. Also, I notice the view on this particular member's profile is suddenly restricted. It wasn't restricted earlier today. What another coincidence.
do you mean phinfans.com?
