3 years, $26 mill, $10 mill guaranteed

Miami's offer was less

Wow. Just wow. Oh well, so now it's either Alex Smith or David Garrard. Right?

They wouldn't invest $10 mill guaranteed in a potential starting QB who knew the offensive system. It's simply amazing!

 It is quite clear that we only wanted him at the right price which tells me the coaching staff was not that high on him.

Coaching staff doesn't pass out contracts. That's what you guys need to understand. Jeff Ireland has it worded in his contract he has FINAL SAY over the roster and contracts. That's why Fisher didn't come here and why Harbaugh balked and left. Also why Gruden and Cowher refused to even interview. No head coach worth anything would come to a team where they have ZERO power over who is on the roster.

Ireland is a 1-man show in Miami. Philbin could have gotten on his knees and begged, it wouldn't have mattered in the end. Ireland has final say on all matters

^^^ or they're just screw ups who don't know how to get a potential starting QB. Does anyone actually know what Philbin thinks of Matt Flynn?

Philbin has been calling Flynn since Day 1 of free agency. Reports as of 3 days ago Miami had told Flynn he was their man. They just got cheap. Real cheap not to give a potential starting QB $10 mill which is peanuts for a starting QB

Which should make the GIANT red flag on him a little more visible now

If true then I don't know what to think. Part of me wants to figure out a way to remove Ireland and Ross from their positions and the other part just accepts that they're screw ups whose time won't come for a while.

Unfortunately the real bums are Ireland and Ross. They will probably outlive the hardest of Dolphin fans at the rate they are going.

Gotta say I'm disappointed. Like I posted in another thread, anything up to $10 a year with what something like a year guaranteed would have been fine with me. Seattle got him for a bit less than that, so... Sad

I've been on that bandwagon.  And if I'm Philbin, I pack my bags and leave.  Expose these clowns for who they really are.

Absolute train wreck. Wasn't a big fan of Flynn, but unbelievable. Forget the Madden curse. The Marino Curse is REAL!
