We were 0-7 neck and neck with Indy then we won some meaningless games and ended up

[Billk78]

Please....if we lost out that year and got the #1 overall, Ireland would have traded down. Let's not kid ourselves....this team can't make a decent draft pick. Look at when we did have a top 3 pick....Dion Jordan.

This is stupid. First off what "fans wanted" has nothing to do with what happened on the field. 2nd players and coaches had jobs on the line they weren't gonna tank for reasons they wouldn't benefit from. That Colts team was bad, way worse than us. Maybe if Ross like forced the coaching staff to start Pat Devlin when we were 0-7 would we have had a chance.

Colts get 2 once in a generation QBs back to back. WTF

I still say it was not accidental or by a natural turn of events ...Peyton's head should have fell off by now (the way they described his injury) and where is Curtis Painter? Bagging groceries again? It was THE biggest scam of our football generation and there is no way Indy should have bagged him on the level.

Oh and Manning? Still his awesome self throwing tds left and right...

Hind sight is 20/20....I was the one of about 3 people in the draft forum that wanted Cousins. And I also said that if Wilson was 6'2" he would have been the #2 rated QB behind Luck. However, I can just about guarantee that if Wilson didn't have that defense and that running game no one would be talking about him. Wilson was fortunate to be set up for success when he came in the league. Unlike Tannehill.

And as bad as we need linebackers and a RG if we're in position to take Amari Cooper I'd jump all over that pick.

It's easy to see that it would have been harder for a QB to go from a better organization to the Dolphins and have success, but after over 2 seasons of watching I can safely say that Tannehill wouldn't have been successful anywhere else. You can only do so much without pocket presence and without ability to attack the whole field, and other organizations would have come to the same conclusion and had the same lack of success with him over the long haul. He's good enough to just not quite be good enough. He's a backup.

You think the most visible athlete of our generation would just go silently and let the team whose success he built sideline him even if he was capable of playing? Yeah, I don't think so.

Lets give Moore some props. He took the same players that Henne was using and reeled of 6 wins out of 9. We lead the league in plays over 20 yards.
For some reason, we draft a 5th round QB with the #7 pick and then we proceed to waste another 2 years.
Moore is still here and I would like to see him given a fair shot. He is being paid well. Let's see what he can do for the remainder of the season.
We need another franchise QB. Moore can make the games exciting and possibly make a playoff run while we are searching.
Tannehill is a fraud. Sherman was a poor evaluator and coach. We are still stuck with his mistake.

You make way too much sense for this franchise....

It happened right in front of your eyes and you still don't believe it...Houdini would be proud.

You mean like the Colts starting Curtis Painter when there were better options that they could sign and go with?

 

[flynryan15]

Anyone that thinks those meaningless wins were worth it are not real fans!

 

[PerfectFinz72]

I'll never understand why fans were so adamant about winning meaningless games the second half of that season. I know it's rough to WANT to lose but there was a franchise QB waiting for whoever picked first. For everyone who didn't want to tank I wonder how they feel now? We're once again going to be searching for a franchise QB in the offseason which, oh btw, is not exactly easy to do.

 

[Semedi]

Of all the **** this franchise has gone through and done in the past 15 years, this one was the absolute worst. Luck should be a Dolphin right now.

I root for the team to win every game I watch because the next great thing can always turn into Ryan Tannehill. Sure, Luck hasn't, but I've seen numerous other guys who were supposed to be worth losing for end up being non-factors too.

 

[Hardox71]

Dolphins could have drafted Rodgers in 2005 but chose Ronnie. The choices seem to always be wrong.

 

[Yessir]

Luck with this roster and we're AFC champship bound. We have better personnel than the Colts. Much better actually.

Normally I would agree (perfect example is Mariota and Winston this year). But Luck was legitimately can't miss.

 

[insomnia411]

I was a huge supporter of the "Suck for Luck" movement, and I was berated constantly about how somehow I was less of a man because I wanted the team to make the right moves to have a successful future. Right, because wanting the team to finally be in a position where they can bring in a great, franchise quarterback that they can build in a team around means that I lack testicular fortitude and I'm a huge wuss... The way some people think is just absurd.
I'm not quite in the root for losses mode yet, but I gotta tell ya, if we lay another egg and lose to the ****ing Raiders, then there is absolutely no reason to want this coaching staff or this quarterback around anymore. If we lose next week I'll be all about giving Moore a shot, and getting into a position to draft Mariotta or Gurley.

I love it you no thank me and call yourself a fan! Oh the irony enjoy losing
