I'm just here to say that I wouldn't wish an 0-16 season on anyone. That's sad... going 1-15 vs going 0-16 is a huge difference to me. Lets win a game, at least.
People claim that, but there is really little evidence that, with all the money and time invested by all of these organizations, that they are any better at selecting players than the average draftnik. The only real advantage an organization has over people like us, is that they get to meet with the players personally and they get to know all of their transgressions behind the scenes.I believe that the point he’s trying to make is that while it’s not an exact science, and there are going to be failures, that the scouting department is probably smarter and a lot more reliable than your average jackhole on a message board.

I enjoy watching football when it looks like the Dolphins are a threat to win every Sunday, no matter the opponent even if they don't end up doing so.I don't understand how you can enjoy watching football with that attitude. Only 1 team wins the Superbowl each year, and it's been the Pats for a **** ton of them lately. A season isn't a failure just because you didn't win the Superbowl or make the playoffs.
I think that as whoever plays best should start, whether it's Fitz, Rosen, or Ruddock (lol). If Rosen isn't good enough to start by Week 17, then we have our answer on his long term viability.
It seems like the vocal majority on this site want either 19-0 (win SB) or 0-16 and anything inbetween isn't good enough for them, like it's their own personal Madden Franchise lol
Doesn't exist, it would quickly get abused. When you disagree, it keeps the conversation going...I like the like button but where is the unlike button so you can show you disagree with the point some poster is making...
The Dolphins have had about 2 seasons of enjoyable football since Wannestadt was the coach. If I have to endure another dreadful season it's no biggie, I have been doing that for the last 2 decades. I have no problems winning just a couple games if it gets us a shot at a premier qb prospect. I miss the years of competitive football, when the Dolphins were always at least a playoff team. It's just not enjoyable anymore going out seeing other fans cheering for their playoff teams while I sit around pondering New Years resolutions. Yeah I'm all in for one more year of incompetence for a shot at stability and sanity.I don't understand how you can enjoy watching football with that attitude.

So just to get caught up on other items:
Today was the first practice since we fired the OL coach and apparently it was clearly our best practice for the OL
We first teamed Dieter at LG, kicked Davis out to RT and threw the big boy Holden in at RG. Hopefully this group can gain some consistency.
RT Mills has been pretty awful this far from what I have heard. Reed has been meh ok but glad to see them throw the rook in there.
Again a lot of versatility here but no solid performers outside the LT yet.

I can name more than a handful of posters on this site alone who's track record regarding player evaluations that I would put up against, not only Miami's front office, but most of the front office's in the NFL.If this is your genuine contention, I’m going to disagree as politely as I can. That’s just hubris of the first order. If your line of thinking is that sometimes the GM or the person calling the shots on draft day can be a moron in spite of their scouting department, I can get behind that a lot more easily.

I enjoy watching football when a big, Nationally televised game is coming up that means something in the grand scheme of things and we play well, even if we lose at the end.
I enjoy watching football when it looks like the team is constantly improving so that the future actually looks bright and we MIGHT have a team that looks like it could actually compete for a Super Bowl, even if we don't end up winning it.
Do I need to win a Super Bowl to have a lot of fun watching a season? Absolutely not, but when was the last time any of my previous statements applied to the Dolphins?
This franchise has beaten the hope and standards out of most of the fan base for so long that you'll accept mediocrity because the table scraps that you get on Sundays is all you're going to get and people will constantly delude themselves into thinking that the garbage that they watch is actually fun. You forgot what fun actually is. You forgot what being competitive looks like, so we'll have a bunch of practice reports where Rosen overall looks like the same guy we've started for the past decade and fans will cling to the one tweet where he made a good throw and twist it as hope for the future. The same excuses will be constantly thrown at him for all the reasons why he doesn't look good: new teammates, offensive line, new coaching staff, new system... the same variables that Fitzpatrick is dealing with while he continues to show how there's no actual competition because he plays well in spite of all of them.
I just want better.
Look at that bama schedule they gonna roll through that thing like a hot knife thru butter. Unless the o line play is uneven which I guess could be possible.
Point is you can't convince me there was a better option on the table vs rolling the dice on JR.
Whether it works out or not is irrelevant, the opportunity needed to be taken and it was.
