Starks in some trouble

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4202727

 

It appears Randy Starks has put himself into a bad situation. I know around this community everybody was very positive about what he could do this year and how well he developed last year. Do you think that the trifecta will give him more than this one mistake or do you think his days with the Dolphins are already in trouble? Will the FO make a stand and show the rest of the players that there is no room for off the field error on this team or will they give him a 2nd chance? What do you guys think?

Seems to be more bad judgment than bad or chronically bad character

13 people in a 4 person vehicle and one of them is 6-3 305
I’ve heard of a designated driver, but that’s ridiculous
Appears it might only have been accidental…trying to hit the brake in a crowded car with somebody sitting on your lap is not easy…not that I would know…

Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and a 5th Rounder. Trio > me.

Thats a fair point.

We only hear reports, from one side.

Yep lets find out the other side of the story...

Don’t assume that because it was a cop, Starks did a bad thing. sorry, but as a more libertarian minded person, if the overloaded car wasn’t driven by a drunk or something like that, the number of people in the car or truck is none of the cop’s business! I’ve been one of nine in the back of a VW bug car once!

It depends on how he presents this to Parcells

and how far the cop takes it

Ted Ginn is the man.

Heres my fanshot on the same subject......

I say get rid of him….he is very replaceable and it would be a valuable message to send the rest of the team.

ONE TIME…. you screw up…..thats it. no second chances so watch ur ass and make good adult decisions. Be a proffesional or you take the chance of being on the outside looking in…..

I believe in 2nd chances….but sometimes if your not that good you get made an example of. If he doesnt want to work 24/7 at being a better football player….then they will get someone who does.

So who do we replace him with?

Soliai?!?!

Hope they keep Starks, but no more screwups!

A lot of players will be cut at that position between now and game 1

Starks is valuable as a rotational DE

but he’s expendable. McDaniels can step right into the rotation, and Dotson could command some playing time as well. A 4-man DE rotation (Merling, Langford, McDaniels, Dotson) is fine. You rotate Soliai or Ellis with Ferguson, and you play some Nickel with Porter and JT at the ends during the game. We’ll be fine without him, so if he needs to be made an example of, there’s no problem from me.

Good esplanation Nick...

………………Plus I don’t think the team will need to wait to make an example of him………….. the court system will.

Poor guy. One day he’s making 2 million bucks… the next he’s making license plates.

Yea but your supposing a lot, Nicky

Dotson was no where near as good last year, inactive for 14 games, Starks started 4 games and practically split time with Langford the whole season, and he did a good job, there was no drop off when he came in.

Truth; Dotson wasn’t good enough to suit up for most of the games last year; Sparano had enough confidence to play Starks in any situation, goal line or third and 20, if it was his turn to be in, then it was his turn to be in, thats how much confidence Sparano had in him.

I hope McDaniel works out, but the fact is, he is coming to a new defense, playing a different position, has durability questions and his last team gave up on him, traded him for a 7th round pick, do you think we would have traded Starks for a 7th round pick?

McDaniel and/or Dotson may work out, and I hope they do, but remember what your asking, for two guys who were not as good as Starks last year, to replace him, and we are already missing our best DE from last year in Holliday.

IMO he is very important to our success next year, I hope this whole incident is overblown, and we don’t have to find out how we would do without him.

alright coach rzayo....

“one time….you screw up…thats its” if that where the case then there would be like 12 teams in the nfl. Was it a HUGE MISTAKE YES effin YES but to cut him….lets see the final report on this matter first…and i dont think he is that replaceable

by drey34 on May 25, 2009 1:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

randy starks = replaceable

i said as much…lets see what the facts are. if its all true i say get rid of him….it would show the rest of the team we dont do that crap down here…and honestly we wouldnt miss him that much.

if im coach…i cut him. our motto here is “have something to prove….and work harder than the next guy”…

i just dont have a tolerance for stupidity. 13 people in ur truck thats a billboard for “im rich and drunk” on the road is stupid….

eff’in a girl while your the driver also = stupid.

I don't hear you screaming to get rid of Ricky

and he has done a couple of stupid things, everyone is entitled to a mistake or two.

As far as not missing him, he is what, our 2nd or 3rd best DE as of right now, if he is gone he will be missed.

Lets wait till we get all the facts before we throw him under the bus. Just a thought.
