Marshall traded to the Bears!

[MikeO]

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?

Like the famous book, When you ride alone, you ride with Hitler (lol)  I'm not riding alone anymore, someone agrees with me! LOL

We get draft picks
We get cap space
We lose a WR who drops a ton of balls
We lose a WR one strike away from a long NFL suspension per NFL player conduct rules

Still waiting to hear the downside! It's not like we just lost Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, or Larry  Fitzgerald! We gave up an above average WR making a boatload of money he wasn't worth!

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

Between 1998 (McDuffie's last productive year) and 2009 (Marshall's arrival), there were quite a few years where the production from the WR position was neither great nor reliable.

For the record: I am including McDuffie as a "reliable" receiver... just not after 1998.

Up in arms about Marshall because there's nothing on the market right now that can match Marshall's production.  You don't just "find" WR's that get you over 1,000 yards receiving.  In Mike-O's "pass happy league of today"  you need WR that at least pose a threat.  I love Hartline and Bess as much as the next guy, but they don't exactly strike fear into CB's minds.  Marshall was neither underrated nor overrated but in order for you to part ways with such a "headache,"  you need to have SOMETHING in line to replace him.


A 34 year old Reggie Wayne, Mario Manningham, and Eddie Royal don't exactly equal up.



X-Factor:  Everyone is saying Miami should "trade up" and get Justin Blackmon now....if we're going to do that...then just go after Mike Wallace

I don't care who the receiver is; rookie receivers take time to develop.  This sets us back 2-3 years.

Jumping the gun. Who said we are going the rookie route? Free agency is 3 hours old. Everyone needs to chill and wait and see how this plays out!

A #19 Dolphins Jersey. Between Ginn and Marshall it should be burned.

No Dolphins player should EVER wear that cursed number again

Exactly.  Marshall couldn't carry MegaTron's jock.  He isn't in the same league.  He's good.  The WR's you listed are GREAT.

Chill and wait and see how it plays out?  Are you new?  Is this your first day rooting for the Dolphins?

This isn't Parcells anymore with his outdated 1980's style of running a team. You have new blood working with Ireland making these moves. Philbin has won in this league and came from a place that did things the RIGHT WAY! I have faith in them till they prove me worng

Was referring to the Blackmon comment.  But free agency has nothing close to what Marshal offers.  Nobody in free agency demands rolled coverage more than 50% of the time, period.

You're not helping me much here, pal...geez!

[Doc-phin]

Maine and Mike need a psych consult.  I can set you up with one if you consent.   

You guys are delusional.

You're right, Parcells wouldn't have traded a number one WR with not a clear replacement in sight

[Kid Dynamite]

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

wow, thank God someone else agrees with me. McDuffie was a pretty good possession receiver and nothing more. One 1000 yard year and no probowls. The other day I cringed when I heard Sid Rosenhause say that McDuffie was a better player than Clayton and Duper.
