Miami Dolphins ‏@MiamiDolphins

Coach Philbin opened his press conference by announcing the team will be participating in HBO's Hard Knocks."

Philbin on Hard Knocks: "We thought it was in the best interest of the organization to do it at this time."

Seem like every team said no...the Jaguars desperately wanted on, but HBO obviously wasn't interested (who would be?)

Yeah this is how bad Hard Knocks has become. Dolphins we're basically the last option they had.

Gotta be honest though, this could end up being a good choice. There's basically an open competition at every position, especially the QB.

wow... I knew HBO was having a hard time getting a team to agree to do the show, but... the Dolphins? really?

what story lines are they going to have, what personalities and stars are people tuning in to watch?

Yeah there was a thing on ESPN a couple of days ago that said 8 teams have already turned them down.

Agree, no one else wanted to do it, so this was the last option besides the Jags... at least the Dolphins have a decent sized fan base.

      Big changes coming

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
