Dolphins reward Camarillo with contract extension

That's a strong sentiment

from Sparano.. to say that Cobbs and Camarillo are the two most important upcoming FA’s. I think that’s a message to the other FA’s (Crowder, Carey, etc) that the names and the stats are not what matters, but rather quiet execution of everything asked of you. The motivational ploys from Sparano could be part of the reason Crowder is having a great season..

you know, i said this before about Welker

when we were in the depth of our team doldrums, the one thing that I wanted from the players was consistency, and Welker was the most consistent player at the time. Chambers, on the other hand, was Mr. Inconsistent and you can’t build your team around that.
Kudos to Sparano for placing value on these kinds of guys.

I don't know about anybody else

But Sparano is going to a be a GREAT coach. I haven’t seen one move, decision, or anything to tell me differently. He’s got these guys playing harder than just about any other team in the league, and it’s a direct reflection on him. Parcells +10000 on that coaching hire pal

Nicky, there was one....

But I can’t really fault him or any of them.

I guess when you make 1 $6million dollar reception, you can be considered a misstep.

Love what Sparano does. Just wish he got more of the credit instead of everyone saying it’s Parcells all the time.

by Mosul_DolFan on Nov 19, 2008 11:16 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah

The good thing is Parcells has largely stayed behind the scenes and allowed Sparano to coach, and Ireland to do his GMing.

And I don’t think the Wilford move was Sparano’s.. I will give him credit (and the management as well) for the decision not to play him just because of his contract. They decided he stunk, and sat him down, money be damned. That’s how you correct a mistake.

I really like Camarillo

I think that the guy just has that special it factor that will enable him to do great things with the Dolphins. I think “the catch” last year was only the beginning. This guy will be a Dolphin’s legend at some point.

that is some big change for a average NFL receiver, yeah he hangs onto the ball, but he’s not a great blocker nor is he great at fighting through coverage….

don’t take this to mean i don’t want the guy, it’s just i’m not sure how that $number fits into the salary structure and what players will they lose cause too much $ is tied up in cammy… seriously TJ Housh#$%^VJZKSTzadadada is a free agent this year and wouldn’t the money be better served there or on a bouldin?

interest question in realism

ok – of the afc teams with winning records which ones would he start on

Nope
NE, Pitts, indy,

not likely
Denver, NY jets

maybe (but run blocking is a priority so i wouldn’t think so)
Tenn

Likely
Baltimore

So they are throwing long term money at a position which they need to get better at inorder to move up the food chain.
doesn’t sound like a realistic approach to me.
all that said i wouldn’t have a problem with the guy and he’s likely one of those binder guys who makes a team.

Well, that looks good on paper

but i think you are leaving out an important aspect of this question. Of course he wouldn’t start on NE. They have Welker. But would he start if they didn’t have Welker. Likely.
And Camarillo has similar numbers than Harrison, and he’s starting.
I think the important point you overlooked is that Miami is an AFC team with a winning record, and he IS starting.
:’)

-LCFF

by LeftCoastFinFan on Nov 20, 2008 8:13 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

yes and no

sure they have a winning record, but they are hardly and elite team… of their 6 wins they’ve beaten 4 teams missing their best player and 3 of those players are most likely one of the top 2 at their positions. (champ, brady, & merriman) plus they’ve played the weakest schedule in the NFL so far IIRC. and other than NE just about every win has been a nail biter…

would he start if they didn’t have Welker. Likely.

Maybe he would, however the gap between wes and cammy is a heck of a lot larger than the gap between cammy and gaftney (sp?) cammy likely has better hands but jabar is a better run blocker and gets off the block better…

So it’s hard to say that the phins can take a step up to the next level without upgrading their WR’s (or having one or more of them develop into a great one… fingers crossed mr london)

so i’d much rather they take the 1mil a year they over paid for cammy and the 2+ they are paying that inactive guy and throw that down on a TJ houslamza, hishmama, houstonliftmyzada (even if i can’t spell it) or one of the other promised upcomming FA.

i forgot to mention harrison missed 3 or so games at the start of the year…
(foot injury i think?) that said harrison is in the twilight of his career and he could be finished
(or in jail) at any time… but i’d take gonzales over cammy (who is better right now) just for great upside.

wow

you really need to read my posts. at what point did i say i wouldn’t take him…

in fact if you actually read my post you might have seen this little bit

he’s likely one of those binder guys who makes a team.

pretty strong point on his side don’t you think… type of player that makes a team???

now if you want to believe the guy is an elite WR and the team has solved the wr issus then you are pretty much living in denial. the teams that are the elite teams in the afc all have a receiver corps that he likely wouldn’t start on and that’s a pretty good indicator that the fins will need a upgrade at that position. and as long as there is a salary cap, a team has to mette out their money very carefully…

so once again for the slow folk. I am happy the team resigned him. i like the guy, and i like how he plays, i just don’t see him as a starter on an elite football team, and if you are going to have to upgrade at that position don’t over spend…

at what point did i skewer him? now i may have offended your myopic world by suggesting that the guy isn’t an elite WR…

so instead of claiming i’m negative, tell enlighten me… i put up my list of teams with winning records in the AFC, which teams of those teams would he beat out the starters on? The guy is an average NFL receiver, which btw is someone of great skill and ability, but if a team is going to be great they need to have great players at the skill positions…

but if it’ll help you sleep better. cammy has my probowl vote.

Yup

myopic world, that’s where I live. Nobody said he was elite, but go ahead and continue to put that in my mouth.

4 of the 5 teams you put in your “Nope” and “not likely” category are pass-happy teams (NE, Jets, Indy, Denver). They built their teams with WR much higher on the priority list than we have it. Not sure what more you want out of a WR. He gets open, he catches the ball, he gets upfield. We’re not asking him to juke 6 people and truck a safety before housing it. Just be consistent. I don’t care where else he would or wouldn’t start, it’s not an issue, because he’s starting – and performing – here.

anyone else see the article in todays sun where they compare welker and camarillo?

both off chargers practice squad…

both #83

camarillo looked at welkers house and saw a #83 hanging…said thats why he is 83…seemed like a sign.

Other potential big free agents

Vernon Carey is a big free agent all right, a big bust. I predict he will land with some underachieving team next year like the Raiders of 49ers. Sparano is an O line coach, and Carey is evidently uncoachable.
