The internet is full of experts.

Great talent wasted. A change in scenery will not cure laziness. Maybe the Colts can hire Mike Singletary away from the Vikings to pull his pants down in the DB film room to emphasize the point that Vontae needs to change. As for Irsay.. Really? Trading for a veteran disappointment is nothing to brag about. What’s next, tweet about an incredible free agent to be signed and then inking T.O.?

You know what I mean HH? I know you do. Go Blue.

Seriously? Give me a break, Irsay. This is not that big of a deal. In fact, I am willing to say Davis will be a complete non-factor. If he was so amazing, Miami wouldn’t of given him up.”

Not all players fit in with a new regime. With Sprano still there not only is Davis not traded he is still starting.

Will he help the D that Pagano is building? Absolutely! Is he worth a 2nd round pick? Heck no!

Just sucks we won’t get to see Vernon vs Vontae this season now.

Highway robbery for Miami.

He’s a good kid, can make a tackle, sounds funny with that deep south drawl too. We’re gonna miss him. He can play corner, can make a tackle is well built but keeps it loose. I don’ think the Colts were fleeced but Dolphins got good value for him. Gonna miss Vontae.

Ben Volin tweeted this:

Brandon [Marshall]also threw a football in Vontae’s face when Vontae showed up to walk-through with alcohol on his breath

Vontae and Sean Smith were both deemed immature and not giving 100%. Sean Smith entered training camp in the best shape of his life, had a mature attitude, and took the bull by the horns while Vontae showed up well the same Vontae.

Some players “get it” while others don’t and unfortunately for Vontae and the Dolphins he just didn’t take his role seriously. He dropped on the depth chart from #1 to #3 and had ZERO fight to earn it back. The Dolphins get a second and sixth for a nickle cb who has issues while the Eagles got a 5th for Asante Samual who IMO is better than Davis. The Dolphins made the right move and now hopefully they can do something with that pick.

Hopefully he can behave himself for a start, then maybe at least try to show up in some sort of physical shape. He has a big ego. Hope he doesn’t take too many toilet breaks when he practices!!! Put him in the same class as Brandon Marshall, Chad Johnson and Hanley Ramirez. All have plenty of talent, but don’t want to use it in Miami. Glad they have all gone.

Davis is overrated. The Dolphins fleeced the Colts.

At least the Colts have been rated…the Dolphins have been jokes for a long time. Our team just got better – you guys just got another pick that will end up busting.

He’s the best player to put on a Colts jersey since Peyton left and will remain just that for a while.

No. That honor is reserved for Luck.
