Since signing up, I have spent many hours lurking on the forums and have recently started to post more as a result of finding the board to be almost a mini community of mostly like-minded people. I have really enjoyed reading some of the takes available, and being able to learn from far more knowledgable posters than I on matters surrounding the Dolphins. One thing I have noticed recently though is the outright crazy claims being made by some, and it seems to be getting worse by the day.

The perfect example being that “we’re letting the Pats back in because we can’t stop them spending X million in free agency”. I have no idea whether there has been an outbreak at a local crazy house, or if the off-season is just driving regularly sane people crazy, bu it got me thinking.

What are some of your perhaps unpopular opinions? These can be positive or (most likely) negative. This is a judgement free zone...

For me, I think Gaskin still has a big role to play for us in the coming season. Does us potentially drafting a RB early make this more difficult? Yes, definitely. Is he an elite RB? No, definitely not. But I have seen enough from him to believe that he can still be a decent option for us this year in both rushing and the passing game, especially with our injury history.

I like Gaskin, and it was pretty obvious Flo trusts him, particularly in pass pro.

Yes, there are some "ridiculous" posters. For the most part, we all just want a winner.

I think it's because he never popped 100 yds but his 2020 stats were usually great, especially on the offense we produced.

Unpopular take is that we most likely are not making it past the divisional round playoff round this season. 2022 is when we truly contend. I hope I’m wrong and some may say I’m crazy for even having us in the playoffs but I suspect we will make the WC round and maybe get our first playoff win since 2000.

As a side note, thanks for the interesting topic of discussion OP! Hope you become a regular contributor to the site. I’m a part time lurker with an occasional post here and there as well but this site is incredibly beneficial to my football knowledge overall

Hopefully it's all in fun (playing in the forum sand) tho sometimes it seems rather cutthroat and overly competitive.

Take Fishy for example -- he's a rather charming chap and never offends anyone!

I like Gaskin as well but we need a stud like Javonte Williams. Or ETN.

Tho I must say, Gaskin has been extremely productive for an R7 pick.

Grier got seriously lucky there!

Good thread guy :UP:

The opinions here are varied and many defend them will gusto and that's just fine

It's the off season and i would not take anything too seriously just have fun and avoid any discussion that gets personal in nature

Those do not end well :FLAG

There are a few we allow out of their padded cells for a few hours a day. Not hard to spot but please refrain from making direct eye contact with them...

:OSW:
