While I expect to hear many a "Jay basher" comments mixed in with "Ricky for the HOF" I must say as a Fin fan we should keep Fiedler and allow someone else (Cleveland?) win the Ricky Williams sweepstakes.
I should start by saying, I neither love nor dispise Jay Fiedler, I just happen to think that he's the best man for the job at this point in time. He should be allowed to continue his maturation as a starting NFL quarterback as a Miami Dolphin. One in which saw him post 13 TD passes against 4 Int's in the regular season's last 7 games. He should be allowed to do so in a Norv Turner offense with an improved OL and revamped running game. Then and only then can we better judge how far Fiedler can lead us.
Enter Ricky Williams.
Most Dolphin fans, myself included, are drooling over the idea of the "dreaded-one" wearing aqua and orange. Problem is, the price will almost certainly be too high as New Orleans will likely want a 1st and a 3rd (to start) for his services. That price only goes up as more teams, like the Browns, enter the scene as expected.
My personal belief is Miami would be better off drafting a OT-RB tandem with their first two picks (a 1st and a 3rd rounder) in Levi Jones (OT) and Jonathon Wells (RB) or a RB-OG tandem in T.J. Duckett (RB) and Martin Bibla (OG). That coupled with a veteran free agent signing for both positions would go a long way in fixing Miami's pathetic running game, even more than the aquisition of the enigmatic one from the French Quarter........
