Ron Hightower Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 With the draft still coming up, the Dolphins have been busy this offseason, but are they REALLY doing all they can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archangel Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think it's too soon to tell, Panch. Parcell likes to keep his surprises till the very end. what would you recommend if you were running things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 he's building the same way he always does, from the inside out, the sad part is we have a harder road to the playoffs this year due to brady being back and a much tougher sceduel but we'll see how it plays out.

Ron Hightower Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think that everything is fine, but I can't help but get a little crazy when all these teams are making awesome offseason moves with all these great free agents. I don't know... I know it's good to stay under the radar, but I'd like to see the Fins do something BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmithx Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 No you don't, you do something BIG when your a couple of pieces away from making a real run at the SB but we are still a year out from that, so once again you'll see them rebuilding this team the right way, through the draft and not giving up pieces for that "big" players, next though .... we might see something big.

Signal08 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 if only we could have gotten a real quarterback after Marino left. Fiedler wasnt it. We still had Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor for a good while, a decent quarterback would have set the tone for years to come. Oh well... all I can continue to do is say go fins!

gunsmithx Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Fielder really gets a bad rap when he shouldn't, look he's not the worlds greatest qb mind you but he wasn't bad by any streach either, he was pretty decent and he took us the playoffs which is more then I can say for many other qb's. He was a real qb just not a great one and lets be honest who's really gonna compare to marino? he was amazing and expecting another one just like him was never going to happen.

Signal08 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I disagree. Sure, Fiedler was given the task of replacing Marino, which makes any QB look like an ant, but Fiedler had a good wideout crew, very good line, and a near great defense carrying him, especially LB and CB/Safety backfield off the chain. If he didn't make it to the playoffs, then hes just simply an asshole. After Marino left, and the Ricky Williams issues a couple of years after, names started falling like leaves. If you cant make it to the playoffs with the team listed below, you are a shit quarterback. Not replacing Marino with a good quarterback, is what began the downfall. Fiedler was a 2 out of 5 at best. A 3 or 4 out of 5 is where you start carrying a team as a leading QB. 2000 Miami Dolphins Head Coach: Dave Wannstedt C Jason Andersen DE Trace Armstrong C John Bock DT Tim Bowens DE Lorenzo Bromell RB Autry Denson T Mark Dixon T/G Kevin Donnalley FB Deon Dyer WR Bert Emanuel QB Jay Fiedler S Arturo Freeman WR Oronde Gadsden LB Scott Galyon CB Trent Gamble DE Daryl Gardener TE Hunter Goodwin DT Ernest Grant DT Jermaine Haley LB Michael Hamilton LB Tommy Hendricks CB Ray Hill QB Damon Huard G Heath Irwin LB Larry Izzo CB Greg Jeffries RB J.J.
