Go Fins
Because a David Boston who's passed up by 31 teams at bare minimum cost, is a hungry David Boston with something to prove.

Until we get some guys with talent on the Oline, we are going to have the same struggles. Ronnie Brown should be a great player and someone we can build around. The same goes for Chambers and McMichael, but after that we have nothing. We have to build around this guys and it's a good start for saban. I want the fins to turn things around in one year too, but in all reality this is going to be a process im sure, and we will have to be patient.
Phins34 said:Every single other team in this league has passed on him for basically for free...Even the worst team in the NFL (49ers) passed on him. He just tore his patella tendon, which is even worse than an ACL or MCL. He has had 1 Pro Bowl season and will never be as good as he was then. He has also tested positive for steriods which means he has to be off of them now. They probably contributed to his Pro Bowl season. I'll be surprised if this guy is moderately helpful throughout the season. Everyone is acting like we just signed Randy Moss and that he is the missing link to our offensive woes. Until we get some new guys in here on the O-line, you can throw all the optimism out the window. It will take us at least 2 - 3 more years to become a playoff contender.
:yeahthat:LarryFinFan said:Well, his first positive test was with the Chargers, two seasons after his PB season. Why is it that he'll NEVER be as good as before ?? You a doctor or soothsayer of some kind ?? The 49ers apparently feel they have the right combo of WRs (I don't see it, though). The OL, and I have said this several times will determine how successful this team will be, there is no doubt...It'll determine if the QBs have time to throw the ball, whether we have any resemblance of a balanced attack, whether play action will work, etc...So that is a good point, but if we go into the season with Thompson as our #3 guy, then we KNOW we won't be any better than last year. While I agree that Boston is far from our "missing link", he COULD add something that we haven't had in many seasons here...three WRs that other teams have to game plan against...The optimism is for that thought alone. If he doesn't pan out, at the cost we'll get him, so be it...The issue will remain to be whether he can stay healthy or not. Besides all that, I'd like to see us get him on the field and playing if for nothing more than to recoup some of the money lost last season on the guy. But again I say...the optimism is brought on by his potential...(as is the case of every player and every change we make during the offseason...
Phins34 said:Im not saying that it wasn't a good move to pick up Boston...He probably was the best out there if he is healthy, but I'm not looking at this Boston pick as straight up lethal as a lot of people on here seem to be viewing it. One guy said he almost fell out of his chair because he was so happy about signing Boston...I mean let's be serious.

WRONG...DUMBA*S!!! Do you even follow the NFL?If your interested in being a fan of a team that won't compete for 2 or 3 more years go find your self another team. Really, Miami doesn't need you and sure as hell does'nt want you!! You think you're being realistic but you're just kicking around your own real doubt...in other words you're just a Hater. Go hate some other team pal. We don't need fans like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fire:Phins34 said:Every single other team in this league has passed on him for basically for free...Even the worst team in the NFL (49ers) passed on him.
