He miscast himself too. Proudly wore the Swiss Army Knife Badge until he didn't. For crying out loud. You'd think he was the missing piece of a Super Bowl run. Loved the dude, but he's not coming back through the door. Someone else is. And he'll hopefully want to be a Dolphin.I’m gonna bet we end up taking the short end of it in tbe long run.
Steelers didn’t miscast him.

Now THAT is comical..lol...we are a fractured bunch. ha.Well at least you didn’t say he lacked the range to play free.
It did not. A good draft is considered a 50% hit rate. An exceptional draft is considered a 60% hit rate. Nobody ever has hit 100% in draft or FA. Ever.100% success rate on draft picks? Don't know if that's ever happened in history.
But good on you for aiming high.
This post is stupid.I have totally lost any faith I had in this front office. I was very excited when the Miami Dolphins hired Reggie McKenzie to work with Chris Grier in acquiring talent to get this franchise back where it belongs, which is on top of the AFC East. I saw Minkah Fitzpatrick interception yesterday which he took 90 yards for what turned out to be the winning score against Indianapolis. The Miami Dolphins traded a top 10 draft pick for what will turn out to be the 17th or 18th pick in next year's draft. I will call it right now. This is the WORST trade the Dolphins will have made since the infamous trade in 1984 when they traded WR Anthony Carter to Minnesota for LB Robin Sendlein. That play by Fitzpatrick made me sick to my stomach. So much so, that I can't look at Chris Grier's face without wanting to throw up. Yes, I know they won yesterday and I am very happy to not only getting off that 0 and whatever, but to beat the Jets. But if these guys don't hit on every acquisition next off-season, Ross MUST fire them all. And please, I don't want anyone coming on here telling me it's Fitzpatrick's fault because he wanted out without saying WHY he wanted out.
I’m gonna bet we end up taking the short end of it in tbe long run.

They didn’t use him any different than he was used at BamaIt is best to take the players words into account. Minkah and his family stated that they were not happy about how he was being used by the coaching staffs from last year and the current year. I believe in the trust but verify principle. If we believe Minkah, then these are complaints about coaching. Why does The OP use this as a reason to loose faith with the front office?
Stop making sense!!!!Steelers didn't need a FS AND a CB AND a slot.
Again so much of this! Smh...people just don't want to understand.I don't think you can accurately grade the trade for 2 to 3 years but it's already up there with the worst all time Dolphin moves? C'mon, you're being very emotional and this is strictly business. The truth is the kid quit on us. We treated the kid with reverence, we drafted him in the first round and made his dreams come true and we started him right away and made the young man a very important player on our defense. Yes, we asked him to be a P Chung type player and fill many rolls but wasn't versatility one of the big pluses on this kid's resume? It certainly was! Then he, his agent and his mother want out. We sat him down many times in an effort to get him to change his mind but to no avail so we did the only thing left to do and that's to get back our investment on this player. Maybe we'll get a much better player than Fitzpatrick!!
