How can you seriously evaluate a player if you don’t get him into the game? The Dolphins really need get get rid of their GM.

This guy has dragged down the entire franchise, how can you justify keeping him employed?

So JM your dream is/was to play in the NFL and your first and only NFL team cuts you and you’re going to high tail it back to Canada, eh. Your perserverance could be in question and that plus the fact that you showed nothing in Training Camp might be just one of the reasons you got cut. If he is going to give up that easy we don’t want him.
—————————-

You have no idea what you are talking about. The likelihood of this guy getting picked up by an NFL team a week before season starts is pretty low. I’m not going to blame him for going back to the CFL for a guaranteed job. How exactly is he giving up? By complaining to Ireland, one of the worst GMs in the business, about not getting a shot in a game?

You brought him out of the CFL and couldn’t give him one single touch in garbage preseason games? What were the Dolphins going to lose by giving him a few touches? That’s just poor management and another reason Ireland and crew are completely inept.

Bush and Thomas are obviously getting roster spots. Lamar Miller just got drafted and has a lot of upside. Messam was very unlikely to make the team.

Not much speed, for a guy that size very little power and not much physicality. Good for him for rushing for 1000 yards in one of his cfl seasons but this isn’t the cfl. He has nobody to complain to but himself it’s one thing to just merely lack the talent which looks like the case here but it’s sad to see someone get an opportunity and lack the drive.

Meanwhile the Dolphins are onto their 2nd WR dumped by the Pats this offseason. We all know how the first worked out.

This guy runs for 1000+ yards up north and he isn’t even worth giving a single carry to in garbage time of a preseason game? Puzzling move to say the least.

How does letting this RB go when we have a glutton at RB and pointing out finding Cam Wake make Ireland =Millen? Far from it, Millen was the worst of the worst. Might as well call him “Receiver Time”
