The Dolphins are the example of not tieing a team to an overrated QB who can't carry a team. They were so stacked and watched most of their talent go elsewhere so they could pay a mediocre and hurt starting QB too much money. They looked so good beating up bad teams at their peak and couldn't hang with any of the other playoff bound teams. I wonder if getting tossed aside will wake up their HC or if he continues to struggle elsewhere after his early success. 

It would be funny if we weren't doing a weaker and dumber version of their build.

I read the Athletic this morning and Russini says McDaniels is staying. We’ll see.

They are also a prime example of why teams should NOT Tank.

Maybe another year at the rate he is going but I woukd be surprised if it's longer at this point. They are going to have to deal with Tua and start over but their HC seems almost checked out at times. They have had so much talent leave in the last few years Im wondering who they lost in house that made better personnel choices. They were great at talent acquisitions a few years ago but seem to have taken some steps backwards. I don't follow them closely.

They actually came out well except their owner chose the wrong QB and kept doubling down. 

Exactly, they chose Tua instead of Herbert. Not an indictment of tanking, that’s like us not tanking and getting a 2nd for Burns and trading away our future for Young. If we had actually tanked and trade Moore and Burns early, we’d be a much more talented team. Even more so if we dumped Fitterer et al with Rhule.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
