If that progression holds, the Dolphins won't make it until '25.

Then we can knock them out. Great!

I went back and watched some of that game...let's just say that their offensive line is the worst in the NFL and it is seriously affecting TT's confidence.

 

They're going to wreck him quick...but there's almost an inevitability to it because he's so limited physically.

My biggest regret over the end of the regular season this week may be having to wait until next summer for more opportunities to mock Tua Turntheballova.

This article rips apart the Dolphins franchise:
 

One of the most remarkable aspects of Black Monday is how revelatory it can be. Bad franchises often give insight into why they remain bad. Good franchises display some kind of noticeable pragmatism or patience, leading to a decision that is ultimately productive for the franchise.

On Monday, Miami firmly entrenched themselves in this club with the firing of Brian Flores, a move that sent ripples throughout the coaching community and registered as the biggest surprise of the cycle thus far. As one tenured coaching agent put it succinctly: “Insane.”
 

</snip>
 

Leaked in the immediate aftermath by sympathetic insiders were promises that Michigan man owner Stephen Ross would not chase down Jim Harbaugh. There were suggestions that Flores had poor people skills. There was obvious evidence of a power struggle. The man who drafted Tua Tagovailoa over Justin Herbert got to stay. The guy who took a sack of expiring groceries and made three seasons’ worth of edible meals was given his walking papers.
 

A few years ago, through an extensive coaching search process, the Bills landed Sean McDermott and finally put to rest years of ineffective practice by installing around him all he needed to succeed. Buffalo is now a tentpole institution in the AFC East, a formidable, sustainable contender that can regularly foil Bill Belichick. They have a franchise quarterback. They have a deep roster full of talented and reliable players.
 

The Dolphins half heartedly attempted the same kind of turnaround when they hired Flores and paired him with general manager Chris Grier. They were going to rebuild the team, accumulate draft capital and emerge from a period of tumult as a consistent and reliable power.
 

What actually resulted was a frantic, firehose approach to the draft and free agency. Good players were dealt, mediocre ones were brought in. A quarterback was acquired without an offensive line to protect him. A deep threat wide receiver was brought in to assist a quarterback more comfortable in a mid-range RPO offense (Jaylen Waddle still managed to set a rookie receiving record anyway).

Keeping Grimes & dumping Flores, they'll be lucky if it's that soon they're back in the dance.

I first read that as "Three potential Miami Dolphins head case candidates."  And thought "Only three?"

The Dolphins just further handicapped their HC search.  Why would anyone want to come into that organization with Tua forced on them, along with Chris Grier as the GM?

The thread at the top of FInheaven is "Will we regret not drafting Justin Herbert".

 

Uh, you don't already?  Delusional much?

I am so grateful they stupidly drafted Tua instead of Herbert.

"No. I honestly don’t think his ceiling is higher. It’s just different. I can see Herbert being a Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rogers, or Matt Ryan type. All are probably hall of fame players. But I can see Tua being a Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Steve Young, or Kirk Cousins type. " - Dolfan51

 

I mean, Young is left-handed - so there's at least that much in the comparison that's accurate.

That's quite a range of QBs that Dolfan51 is comparing Herbert to.  Those four QBs are not all of the same type, they're very different.

They went to a megathread because there were too many threads complaining that Tua was taken over Herbert.    Good thing they fired their coach to stick with their GM + Tua.

A decision that will haunt them for years to come.  Welcome to the desert, Dolfans, expect a long drought.

The only one of those 4 that Herbert is comparable to is Rogers.  Dude is huge, mobile, big arm, etc.

 

It's basically an admission that the guy doesn't watch football.
