This is not meant to be a rant but more of a exhale, after reality set in this weekend.

This is the first time in my life I can ever say... I have become indifferent to the Fins Offseason. Normally and regardless of the previous years results, by this time I am bouncing off the walls with excitement watching every second of the combine. Reading bio's/comments, information, watching prospects youtube videos etc... excited for the draft/free agency and the upcoming training camp. But this year I just don't care anymore, and I am totally pissed off about it. I tried my hardest to get myself back into and yes I watched almost every minute of the combine coverage but I keep going back to whats the point.. we have a duck for a head coach and a fool for an owner .

Uggggh!!!
I cant be the only one who feels this way, am i?

I am just disgusted that our doofus owner cosigned Philbin after the Vikings game like he deserved that. He didn't.

I was interested in the combine though. As much as I criticize Ryan Tannehill, constructively mind you (which people hate as well), he's at least "the guy" next year and QB is not a position we have to worry about on the "starting level". So naturally, getting the QB "weapons" is of vast importance . . . . but I did cry a bit when Kevin White put up that 4.35 40 time . . . while people keep sweating Cooper, DGB and Parker, I was hoping White would have a chance at 14. He won't now.

So far, this weekend pretty much confirmed that Miami needs to stay where they are in round 1 or move down and try to pick up another day 2 pick. That is where the meat is in this draft. Day 2 is gonna be LOADED at RB, WR, DL and the top LB's. Would love a WR at 14, but I'm not reaching for one, and I'm not taking Jalean Strong at 14 (though I like him) . . . that is too high for him . . . I'm perfectly fine grabbing Danny Shelton or Malcolm Brown there.
 
I'm looking forward to this offseason a lot. Sink or swim for pretty much everyone

Gotta say I agree. After the way the season ended I was so crushed. Then you add in all this talk that Wallace might be let go from the team and having to rebuild the WR core on top of fixing other persisting issues just has me down and out about the team. I mean so far the off season is flying by for me because I just don't care. I am hoping free agency will help cure that though I am not holding my breath.

I felt the same way as you when White did that.

I felt some kind of way. Cooper falling isn't a bad prize either. Hell even Parker would be a good choice.

Would love Cooper but this is gonna be AJ Green and Julio Jones all over again . . . the athletic freak vs. the smooth productive stud. Parker has a chance to be there, but I could see somebody sneak up in front of us to nab him before we pick. DGB, no way I'm taking him at 14, he goes late first round to a team with a lockerroom that can afford to take that chance. Strong is nice, but I worry about his ability to separate from the defender . . . he doesn't seem as fast as he timed yesterday. AT 47, most definitely, but I can't give up #14 for him. I can get WRs on day 2 that could be better options for us and still get a stud defensive player at 14.
 
IMO, this seasons is just a lost year with Philbin...Looking forward to 2016 when we get someone new in.
 
I'm totally excited about the off season. Are you kidding me? This is the part of year where everything is ok. We're going to get the "right" free agents and then we're going to have a great draft. See, when you're a dolphins fan, the off season is always much better than the regular season. Once the season starts we can go back to reality but at this time no team has a better record than the dolphins so enjoy every minute of it while you can.

Ozzy rules!!

I actually felt EXACTLY the same way after LAST YEAR. I pretty much pretended the NFL didn't exist the entire offseason. In fact, I wasn't even going to get Sunday ticket but my wife renewed it without my knowledge. For me, the fatigue of paying such close attention year after year and caring perhaps too much only to have my hopes dashed eventually caused the indifference.

In retrospect, I think my brain just needed mental vacation. Once next year rolls around you will start to awake from it. You'll notice a little spark of hope that will grow into a flame... Of, course that flame is likely to get snuffed out again by the end of next year, but you get picture :)

Cheers!

And that's ok . . . as unsexy as it sounds. That 2nd half of the season defense was one of the worst units in the league. All 3 groups could use more talent.

I'd rather get some help for our defense with free agency amd get a WR at 14. We need to give Tannehill some weapons imo.....if all 3 WRs are gone then moving down has to be an option unless Shelton falls which I don't see happening.
