Those "Meaningless Wins" Proved Not-So-Meaningless

Dolphins’ free agent signings see coach Brian Flores as a big draw

 

[DisturbedShifty]

Only way we will know is if he gets more wins this year than last year. If not, they just signed with Miami for a good pay check and beach front property.

I also distinctly remember people saying the same thing about Gase.

must be weird for an NFL player to play for a coach who could beat you up physically if it came down to that

Thanks for posting I just read this article on PFT. I hope it is a sign of things to come. I am FIRED UP to fill out our roster with all these young guys in the draft. I know there is a lot of back and forth with who we will / should / could take, but at the end of the day we are going to get some good young talent and will likely have the youngest team in the league.

Maybe they were, maybe they werent... But I have yet to hear a freshly signed player say: "Oh I definitely signed here for the Monies"

Seriously. Lol. Some people just have “presence.” Brian Flores has that.

I'd say that anecdotally, there's a better chance that Flores turns out to be the "real deal" than fragile Tua, the reason for the so-called "tank" who couldn't hold up to spotty college defenses, holds up to professional Ds!

I've been saying this for weeks

What does Tua have to do with any of this?

That all sounds good and dandy but I wonder how many players took less money because they wanted to play for Flores so bad.

Yea. I hate it when players go to their official press conference and say "lol I am here because they offered more money than the other guy"

It doesn't...

Karras for one, had a multiple year deal with the pats for more money to be a swing starter mostly backup and took less money to be a starter in Miami

Everything!

I don't think the wins were meaningless. They continue to have an impact on the team, and will through the off-season and camp. It's also fair to consider whether the benefit of those wins is more important than the draft capital lost. I prefer the wins, but I understand those who value the draft positioning higher.
