You missed the point of number 3 being most important.
Flores bitched and caused so much noise about tua that the dolphins were desperate to prove he wasn't a bust so they rushed the rebuild and gave up money and assets for hill. Everything they were not doing before. If you like like tua now or don't it doesn't matter.
His first two years had so much noise because Flores was pissed we drafted him, played him when he wasn't healthy, wanted to trade him. This created a toxic environment that when Flores left miami felt the need to get a star like Hill to help Tua succeed. Because the narrative was tua couldn't play and tua confidence was shot.
Trading for a guy like Hill was totally against the plan they had before. Before they were getting capital and money then they switch gears and give up money and picks because Tua was crushed by Flores and the negative media shitstorm. How anybody doesn't see this and realize this affected the plan of rebuilding is crazy.
And I actually think Flores could coach and Tua was decent his first two years. But Flores couldn't get along with anyone, couldn't coach offense, and created a huge tua narrative by letting the media know he wanted watson and not Tua. Tua is our qb.. Tua is our qb tua is our qb. That is all he would say. Then he would let the media and league know he wanted Watson and not tua.
It created a mess when he was gone. Miami felt like they needed to support tua and show he could play so in comes the cheeteh. There goes the picks and and plan to build through the draft. That is how the plan got changed and messed up. They didn't stick to it because they felt they had to show Tua was the guy because Flores ****ed up the entire thing for two years.
Umm Ross tampered for Brady before Tua was even drafted and then again after Flores was fired. Flores is living in your head.
If you’re talking Watson, Flores probably did advocate for him. However, Ross was 1000% on board with that and held a freakin press conference on last day of trade deadline DURING the season on why dumping Tua for Watson didn’t happen. If you think Ross went on national TV on Flores’ behalf and not his own desire, then I don’t know what to tell you.
BTW both things in Flores’ lawsuit on Brady tampering and not losing games happened the season prior to Watson, so Flores was already in Ross’ “doghouse” which they’ve largely said were barely on speaking terms. I’m not sure how you think Flores had a massive influence over Ross.
