Apparently Martin has been pranked and bullied by Dolphins teammates to the point where he won't be playing for them.  I've never seen or heard of something like this happening before, does anyone know if he can become a free agent and maybe we make a run at him.  I've talked to a sportswriter who is a friend of mine (and a Phins fan) who feels Martin has panned out fine on the field and is a quality player.

Scott Pioli said he did work on both players when he was working as a GM. He said Martin had a normal personality but didn't fit the scheme. He said Incognito was a bad dude and he had no interest in working with the guy.

 

I think our Oline is full of nice guys, I think Martin would be happy with us and an upgrade at RT. It would probably be difficult to get him on our team but I would welcome him.

Dude must be soft in the head to get bullied by your own team mates.

 

knock on him in the draft was how "soft" he was. he was "bullied" cuz he was forced to pay for teammates dinners and things, and also when he sat at the lunch table, the guys already sitting there all got up and left

Wrong thread, but rumor that Dolphins vets forcing using young players for money. That's fugged up if it's true. You're a VET and millionaire! Setting bad examples. I never get the locker room stuffs. That's where men becomes "kids".

Oh gosh, they're forcing these rookies to pick up the check for dinner? 

What an outrage!!! I've never heard of such a travesty. 

What next? Are they going to strap him to the goal post after practice?

or worse... MAKE HIM CARRY THEIR PADS!?!?!?!

This sir shalt not stand. This isn't hazing. This is torture.

 

SOMEONE WRITE A LETTER TO CONGRESS!!!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
