I am still stunned by how incredibly dumb this move was.  This team is on the cusp of filling its last major hole and somehow feels compelled to unnecessarily go out and create a brand new hole.  For two third round picks!

Maybe we can get Flynn and then spend the next 3 years looking for someone for him to throw to!

To Jeff Ireland:  Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

Brilliant move!  Just Brilliant!!!

Thats how ireland works.  He creates a hole, and then spends a draft pick to fill it (usually not as well), just so everybody can say, wow his drafts aren't that bad.  No, but if he didn't fucking create a hole, he could have used that same pick to fill an actual hole.

I expect that Ireland's next move will be to solve Miami's problem at RG by trading Jake Long for Jahri Evans.

Back to Marshall.  There's nothing really that great via free agency right now.  Vincent Jackson is going to Tampa, Garcon is going to Washington, Mario Manningham is a number 3 WR who will want number 1 money, Reggie Wayne would've been a great number 2 option.  I guess Miami's going to make a push for Blackmon now?



THIS, in addition to the fact that he's a pro bowl receiver, is why the trade was beyond assanine. Who the f*ck wants to play QB for Miami when their best receiver is Hartline? Your personal obsessive hate for the guy aside, how can this trade be justified? For 15 years Miami had a decent run of reliable to great receivers and no one to throw the ball to them; now they have a shot to get a great QB, and he's left with no one to throw to. Make sense of that. -EK

Jeff Darlington reporting that Marshall never got along with Henne from day 1 and more went on behind the scenes than has been let out to the public and it has rubbed everyone in the organization the wrong way for 2 years. Which led to this move. New Coach, new start and they didn't want his attitude causing more trouble moving forward with whoever the QB is.

...what?

Miami's receiver history since the mid '90s was a bunch of roleplayers, washouts, and/or bums, plus the three following:

- O.J. McDuffie: comfortable old shoe that never made a single Pro Bowl
- Chris Chambers: had a one-year peak of "top 10 WR"
- Brandon Marshall: enough has been said

You can't remember back to 2009, when everyone was screaming that this team desperately needed a quality WR to replace The Ginn Family and that Henne couldn't possibly succeed because he had no one to throw to?

Henne has sucked since he got here, nothing wrong with Marshall pointing it out.

I think McDuffie was waaaaay under-rated, and between him and Chambers I stake my good/reliable, with the "great" going to Marshall. What's so puzzling about that? -EK

Agree, Miami has had some garbage WR's since Irving Fryar left really! lol That was a loooooooooooong time ago! Chambers had a good year or two. McDuffie was nothing special

Yes, Henne sucked and everybody thought that all he needed was a top notch receiver, so he got that and still sucked ass.  Then it was dan henning holding him back, so they axed him, and he still sucked ass.  henne has sucked since he got here, and ireland, sparano and the rest of the idiots thought he was good.

People all up in arms about Marshall...

Did we all watch the same WR last year?

I'm on board with MikeO on this one.  Marshall, and his production, will be easily replaced.  

BTW, this is exactly what I don't want to own jerseys with player's name.  Any one of you Marshall lovers want an Orange Marshall (authentic) jersey?

I can just see the fans in New York and New England smiling their asses off.

Even if we get Manning and Wayne, they have us beat.  We had a better chance with Moore and Marshal.  Wayne doesn't scare anyone without someone good across from him and no rookie is going to do that.

We are so screwed!

I think MikeO needs to take a trip up to Maine and smoke whatever you got, cause that is some good shit.
