He and those close to him have been raving about the therapy he has been receiving in Boston this year and every time one of his transgretions is mentioned all I hear is him owning up to it!

———————————————

yeah, BPD people are really good at that…. convincing people they’ve changed until they turn the external situation around into a scenario that strokes their ego…

…. and the off field incidents aren’t a domestic issue…. they are a tell tale symptom of the underlying full time wreck….

look, got a bunch of Bear fan friends, know they want to believe in the good decisions of their team, and hope it works out for the guy, but the reality is the stats, medical facts, and history say it’s a long shot at best

Oh, and I’m relieved we got rid of him no matter what he does up there, he was a wreck here…

I know why you’re frustrated, but take #19 off the Dolphins roster and nothing is accomplished but losing a proven probowl WR! Check out the other WR near the top of that drops list. Most of them are the #1 WR on their team, it goes with the territory to some degree.

The last thing before I get outta here is the history of incidents on Marshal’s record.. One could make the case that Marshal is just not capable of wholesome relationships with women. It also seems obvious that there are a few crazy people in his life, their names come up on the police records over & over again. Many of the calls to the police were simply due to an argument, every time I argue with my wife it doesn’t become public record! In a different time without social media, the public would probably only be aware of 2 or 3 of these incidents and he wouldn’t look like such a bad guy.. As far as his borderline personality disorder and the “it’s not my fault” attitude, he took ownership of his role in the altercation that ended up killing his teammate Darrent Williams and has always taken ownership of the situations that lead to visits from the police! I’m good with Marshal being a Bear!! And only time will tell if he has matured or if 2008 & 2009 will repeat themselves.. He has not had much trouble in a little while now so I think he’ll be okay.

If Brandon Marshal was not Miami’s top WR,,, uummm, why did he receive the clear majority of targets regardless of who was playing QB?

———————————————-

being #1 on the depth chart and thus being targeted by the QB doesn’t mean you are getting it done…. he dropped 5 in the end zone…. he was 2nd in drops in the league…. he didn’t catch them when it was critical…. he didn’t get the TDs when the team needed them to win a game and that what he’s paid for….

he was in the #1 slot for the phins, but he isn’t a #1 reciever any more

he held the team back for a variety of reasons….

also, he has a serious psychological problem whos main theme is “it’s never my fault and I”ll get violent about it” for which there is no medication… he’s been arrested or had the police called to deal with his issues 13 times in the last 5 years…. have fun with Marshall in the locker room this year…

he stinks, and as a Bear fan, you will curse the day you guys took him…

If Brandon Marshal was not Miami’s top WR,,, uummm, why did he receive the clear majority of targets regardless of who was playing QB? Why did he lead the team in most receiving categories, especially catches, yardage & big plays (25 yard + catches)?? Why did he rank among the very best in the entire league in many of those categories and earn another trip to the pro bowl?

With 140 targets and 81 receptions in the 2012 campaign he racked up 12 drops. The # 12 isn’t crazy high considering most of those plays he saw double coverage and the entire stadium knew he was the 1st & 2nd read in the red zone!! There were a few ugly drops that could have helped the phins take the lead, but there’s a reason that the ball was thrown to him in the first place… He was the team’s best WR!!! I’m pretty sure that Hartline & Bess would tell you that themselves too..

It’s amusing to see all the Dolphins fans saying how awfull he was while he has only racked up one of the most impressive & productive stat lines with consistency over the past 5 years!! As a football fan I think it’s ridiculous to think that the dolphins would have cut one of the Best WR’s in The League!! As a Bears fan, I’m excited to have his ability & his production in our offense!!

The general consensus was if Flynn’s old offensive coordinator, Joe Philbin, didn’t see value in Flynn, it would be an indictment against the free agent. Knowing this, and considering there was likely some personal relationship between Flynn and Philbin, don’t you think it’s reasonable Philbin scheduled the Flynn meeting out of courtesy. It could have been devastating to Flynn’s free agent status if the Dolphins simply passed him by without a thought.

These statements by Ross I find to be…. lame. Also, it’s one thing to make excuses, but the Matt Flynn thing is a blatant lie. Now your credibility, Mr. Ross, is very quickly flying directly out the window….best be careful. This off-season has basically confirmed and cast into stone what was previously becoming somewhat obvious: That Miami Dolphins management is absolutely atrocious. GM Ireland needs to be fired…. but the ironic part… the owner himself is too incompetent to know any better and it’s highly doubtful based on his moves thus far that he has the capacity to hire a competent replacement.

Actually, now that I think about it a little bit more, as many mistakes as Jets GM Tannenbaum makes up in NY, this Ross/Ireland tandem of incompetence and failure in Miami is worse.

=====================

that’s grossly incorrect…. reality:

Miami’s OL is 29th or 30th in : hits on QB, sacks, and QB knockdowns… they were freakin terrible and Moore was running for his life half the time.

in spite of that, if you actually looked at the games…. he was putting the ball in guys facemasks all the time, showing great poise in the pocket when it existed, was making great decisions, and was snapping the ball hard.

also Moore was throwing to the #2 and #11 guys in drops in the entire NFL….

Moore is playing great and Smith and Flynn weren’t worth the upgrade money

Moore deserves a line upgrade, a couple of actual receivers, and his shot now….

Someone mentioned you can’t buy championships through free agency unless you get Brees or Manning…Manning? When did Manning win a championship as a free agent? Are you assuming since Manning went to the Broncos, they’ll automatically win a championship? Have you forgotten Manning is under .500 in playoff wins? He was a choke artist until 2006. 3 months ago, he couldn’t throw a football. Now,he’s a lock for a championship? You’re in for a rude awakening when the Broncos don’t make the playoffs. NO ONE PLAYER in the NFL arrives to a team and turns them into a championship contender. Don’t forget, it took years to establish that offense in Indy. John Fox is a MORON of a coach and the Broncos are an average team at best. I am willing to bet Manning never plays in a SB again.

Nothing wrong with building around Moore. His personal stats last year were decent. Flynn was good in GB system, which does not mean he would be any good somewhere else.

No matter who the QB, the Fins have a lot of rebuilding to do. Marshall was not part of that.
Maybe they will go after Blackmon. At least he is known to have good hands, unlike “Me Me” Marshall.

So true! Some just like to whine and have lost the ability to think for themselves.
It is CLEAR that the Dolphins are going to build thru the draft- like Green Bay did. The current cap is a mess due to poor judgement, older players signed for too much money- i.e. Y. Bell- $13MM in DEAD cap space on players that are no longer on the team, etc.

Over spending in free agency will cripple your franchise-

Incorrect- see jets. They don’t even know how to read a contract before they sign it.
