Say NO to Flynn and Manning! (EDITED)
I'm not sold on Matt Flynn, even though it doesn't matter what I think, if Joe Philbin believes Flynn is the answer then by all means sign him up, but I don't think he's a franchise QB. Peyton Manning on the other hand could be the answer if healthy, but thats a BIG if. I have been hearing alot of rumors lately concerning Manning's health, and I now believe that Peyton will not be healthy any time soon. This is what I believe the Dolphins should do this Off Season in order to be Playoff and even Super Bowl contenders.
Free Agents:
Carl Nick, LG

The Dolphins Offensive Line needs big time help, signing Carl Nicks almost instantly solves their problems. Nicks is the best Offensive Lineman available, and he should be the Dolphins #1 target this Off Season. At 6-5, 343 pounds Nicks is just what Miami's Offensive Line needs, hes only 26 years old and is in the prime of his career.
Robert Mathis, DE

At 31 years old Robert Mathis, still one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, shouldn't demand that much money. The Dolphins switching to a 4-3 will make their need for another pass rusher even greater and I belive they address it by signing Mathis. Cameron Wake, Randy Starks, Jared Odrick, Robert Mathis, that would be a vicious Defensive Line.
Reggie Nelson, FS

The Dolphins Secondary wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, signing Reggie Nelson will improve it dramatically. Nelson had a Pro Bowl caliber season, and adding him to a Secondary that has Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Yeremiah Bell, etc., will only make him better. Oh and the Secondary Coach that basically revitalized Nelson's career in Cincinnati, is Dolphins new Defensive Coordinator Kevin Coyle.
Draft:
Trade up for Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor.

I believe the Dolphins will trade up and draft College phenom RGIII. He has a cannon for an arm, pinpoint accuracy (even on the deep ball), great athleticism, everything you could ask for in a QB, and then some. If you believe a guy can get you to the promise land, you give up whatever it takes to acquire him, and I believe that RGIII will make the Dolphins contenders for many years to come. I believe this years 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, and 3rd rounder, plus next years 1st will get the Dolphins the #2 or 3 pick.
Remaining Rounds: BPA at RT, CB, LB.
Depth Chart
QB: Robert Griffin III, Matt Moore
HB: Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas
FB: Charles Clay
WR: Brandon Marshall, Brian Hartline, Davone Bess, Clyde Gates
TE: Anthony Fasano, Charles Clay
LT: Jake Long
LG: Carl Nicks
C: Mike Pouncey
RG: Richie Incognito
RT: John Jerry
LB: Karlos Dansby, Kevin Burnett, Koa Misi
DE: Cameron Wake, Robert Mathis
DT: Randy Starks, Jared Odrick
CB: Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Jimmy Wilson
SS: Yeremiah Bell, Reshad Jones
FS: Reggie Nelson, Chris Clemons
This Off Season will make the Miami Dolphins instant contenders, having addressed the teams biggest holes (QB, Pass Rusher, Secondary, etc.).

why would we trade 2013 and 2014 2nd round picks
when for the same value we could give them this year’s 3rd and 4th round picks? I am not sure what the 2014 picks are worth, but from what I understand the 2nd round pick next year is worth the same as the 3rd round pick this year. If you have a conviction about a guy and you want him, spend picks this year, if you have enough to go get him and be done with it. Don’t give up next year’s picks unless you need to.
We had [Brady] down… but we didn’t kick him. We helped him up and gave him a PowerPuff Girls band-aid for his knee. What exactly did you expect would happen when we did that?
Looking strictly at the draft value chart(which is only a guide)
we would need to give up this year’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks, and next year’s 1st round pick to go get RG3 at #2. If he drops to say… #3 we would only have to give up our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th this year… or our 1st 2nd and 3rd this year, and our 3rd next year… whichever you prefer…
If he drops to 4 and Cleveland isn’t sold on him… we could get him for our 1st and 2nd this year… They might still want to give Colt McCoy a chance… who knows…

Couldn't vote because the price isn't too high...
It’s too low. 2014 picks carry much less value than a 2012 pick and less than a 2013 pick.

Dude keep your subtle knocks on RG3 to yourself if your not going to be serious. A better college version of Pat White?? Are you serious?? That is the DUMBEST comparison Ive heard about RG3 to date. Pat White couldnt throw the ball 25% as well as RG3 on his worst day. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That is all , carry on.

doesn't matter
i remember andre ware, david klingler.matt leinart….great college qbs who never amounted to as much as a useful backup qb…dont throw away draft picks on a “could be” great college qb…nfl is a whole different animal…if flynn doesnt pan out…moore can be serviceable until another qb comes along…whether it be landry, or barkley…keep the picks

Who can really say that this or that player WILL be 100% sucessful, frankly no one can make that claim. But yeah Griffin is WAY better QB than White that I can be 100% sure of.

Wishful Thnking
I Agree with the trading up, but we will probably have to loose a player along with picks, also getting Nicks, Mathis, and Nelson would break the bank unless we trade Marshall and release Solai and a few others. Other than that I would definitely be happy with the rest. Getting RG3 I would target his favorite Target K. Wright in the 2nd.
One team One dream. Keep God first.
But to move up and get RG3...
We’d have to give up our 2nd round pick, eliminating Wright from that discussion. As for Soliai, we can’t release him as he’s already a FA.

If we were to trade up for RG3...
We’d end up with RG3, Potter in the 3rd (hopefully!), and FAs like Jake Scott and Reggie Nelson. I don’t think we’ll make as many moves as you may think and there is no way we don’t lose our current 2nd round pick if we trade up.

It'll cost much more than a first and second.
But you can get away with some of the others being future picks. There is a chance that the 1st and 2nd would be the only picks in 2012 surrendered. There would be another one or two at least in 2013.

One thing a lot of people haven't mentioned
is the possible hiring of Ireland/Parcell protege Brian Gaine. If he becomes the Rams new GM than you can expect that Miami will be first at bat to trade up for RGIII, that’s if they want to.

Wait so....
You aren’t sold on Flynn, who is 26 (his prime) and would be running (practically) the same system he was learning the past 3-4 years in GB and threw 6 TDs (I don’t care if they were meaningless or not) in his last outing without much time with the starting group because of Rodgers play? I implore you to tell me how many times that our STARTING QB since Marino, has even thrown 4 TDs.
BUT you are sold on RG3 the mortgage a ton of future draft picks based on what he did in college???
Opinions vary I guess. I say get the QB who has shown he can run the system we will be implementing, save our draft picks, and continue to make t team better for years to come.
Just a question, but what have you seen in Flynn that you wouldn’t want our owner to spend a few (k, alot) of $$$ on that you. That you would rather mortgage picks and picks and picks for the next 2 years on RG3.
Don’t get me wrong, I want one of the 2. But It clearly makes more since to take a cap hit (if he isn’t the answer) on Flynn who has shown, even if its just a bit, that he can run the system than spend the future of the team for the next 2 years on a QB that hasn’t proven anything except he is great against college kids.

If we go and get Manning
Then IMHO, we trade down from the 8/9 pick, get an additional 2nd rounder, as well as (most likely) another 4th, and select Tannehill in the 1st round. Then pair him up with K. Wright in the top of the 2nd round (hopefully he falls to us), followed by a RT with the other 2nd round pick. Manning has the reigns for a couple of seasons, while Tannehill learns from him.
If we DO sign Flynn, then Coples or Ingram should be the pick at 8/9.

Why do we need to trade out of the 8th pick in the draft?
There are players there at 8 that just will not be there later in the 1st round. 8th pick is a good place to pick up a freak of nature. We have enough solid players… we need to start getting some game breakers. Right now we don’t have many holes… but no one loses sleep over anyone on our defense with the exception of Wake. We have 2 legitimate playmakers in Brandon Marshall and Reggie Bush and we have a few pieces that might turn into big time playmakers with the right guy at QB. We need to either go QB or an OLB/DE… additionally if there is a NT that makes a lot of sense there at 8… grab him… NT is where the defense begins.. If we can shut down the middle of the defense everything else is easier.
We had [Brady] down… but we didn’t kick him. We helped him up and gave him a PowerPuff Girls band-aid for his knee. What exactly did you expect would happen when we did that?
by Jason Scott_90 on Jan 30, 2012 8:24 PM EST up reply actions
Why would we grab a NT?
If we stay in a 3-4 and need a NT, we just give Soliai the deal he wants.
by DolfanVince86 on Jan 31, 2012 1:35 PM EST up reply actions
I can still see the possibility of Soliai going even if Miami stayed in a 3-4 (doesn't look like we are)
But #8 is still too high for Poe. Maybe if we traded down to the middle portion of the round…

This would be the single worst move made by Jeff Ireland.
If we let Soliai go despite staying in the 3-4. If we move to a 4-3, it still might be the single worst move made by Jeff Ireland. Soliai is someone WE developed. WE spent the draft pick. He’s played himself into a premier contract. Either we figure out a way to get a return on him or we pay him.
At the worst, we franchise him. What other player are we going to franchise? We use the franchise tag to work a trade or a sign and trade or to buy us another year.
But here is the true folly:
Letting Paul Soliai walk and then drafting a nose tackle with our top ten pick? Let’s also release Vontae Davis and draft a cornerback with our second round pick.
by DolfanVince86 on Feb 2, 2012 10:43 AM EST up reply actions 1 recs
It wouldn't be the worse move
It could be bad if we stayed in a 3-4, but we won’t Soliai is not required for a 4-3 defense and he may be a liability there even. You don’t spend a ton of money on a player simply because you developed him. Getting sentimental like that is what causes franchise to hold on to players too longer after they’ve declined.
As for franchising him, we could do that. Not that I want to. If you’re fine with Miami using the tag on him, being strapped to him for weeks, and missing out of much of the free agency action, then by all means franchise him. Myself, I prefer to have leeway to make moves in FA. Remember, if the Dolphins franchise Soliai and he doesn’t sign the tender, they can’t trade him even if they did agree to terms with another team. Even if he did sign the terms though, it’d be awhile before Miami could swing a deal because teams would have to discuss compensation and the new team would have to negotiate a new deal for Soliai first. A franchise and trade move just will not happen… and I’m happy it won’t.
As for drafting a NT if we stayed with the 3-4, I said I am not in favor of using a top 10 pick on him. I could see the possibility of Poe only if Miami traded down and stayed in the 3-4. I don’t think that will happen since we won’t be in the 3-4. It’s a moot point.

If Miami aren't going after RG3, there are so many good passrushers that it wouldn't really matter as long as you're still in the top 20-25
But an extra 2nd and 4th is a bit much, probably get an extra 3rd, unless Blackmon is still on the board (unlikely).

I would love to get RG3
But there is NO way that a team trades their pick for this year’s first, next year’s first and second, and a 2014 second. Why would they want picks two years down the road? If you are trading picks, you are trading this years and maybe next years. That’s about it.
And, if you do that, you don’t have a second to get Allen.
Every time someone does one of these posts and talks about the Dolphins trading to get RG3, they then say we get Allen in the 2nd. You can’t have both. It won’t happen. You are going to lose that second if you trade for RG3.
Sept. 26, 2010 - 2013 Draft Kyle Padron Bandwagon
I got shredded on my 1st post, so I don’t have a leg to stand on here, but I didn’t have us getting RG3. However, I didn’t have us getting Allen in that draft, either. I think Clay showed enough to be able to function in a FB/TE/H-back role.
We’re better served addressing other areas of need in the 2nd round. You can make the argument that we could get a guy like Fleener later on in the draft. Don’t get me wrong – Allen could be special, but IMHO, we have other pressing areas of concern that we need to address in Round 2.

But I agree 100% about trusting Philbin, and also about really wanting RG3.
Good post by the way!
Everybody is pretty high on Nelson (FS) from Bengals
But wasn’t he “just a guy” until Coyle coached him? Couldn’t Coyle do the same thing for one of our “just a guy” safeties?

Lets Coyle bring his magic with this secondary.

I don't see thats happens...
Manning or Flynn will be land in FA in Miami
and possibly Tannehill in Draft…
but RGIII was not and option, because the price will be to high in picks… was more possible to trade down and get more picks…
Im just hoping that Cleveland land Flynn ..
and Washington land Manning lol
At the end, just GO DOLPHINS!!
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(Quarter of a Century and counting)
I would rather see us get Flynn who has been in NFL games and have been Mentored.
Rather than spending everything on one guy that we have to watch grow and learn for years. If Philbin says Flynn is everything he looks to be then we go get him and if were gonna move up, we go get Blackmon be across from Marshall. Think about that match up, Marshall, Blackmon, as wideouts, Bess in the slot and Reggie running routes out of the backfield Yikes how would you like to be the D Coord trying to defend that. We could then pick up a guard or tackle in the third or in FA. I like that, or if Couples is there we stay and take him. Either way I believe Flynn is the guy.
I’m not sold on Matt Flynn, even though it doesn’t matter what I think, if Joe Philbin believes Flynn is the answer then by all means sign him up, but I don’t think he’s a franchise QB.
And there you have it. If you think JP is the guy to be the HC then how do you not trust his opinion on Flynn????
"Theyas no fawking qwatahback!"-Anonymous Patriots fan at seeing the Wildcat formation for the first time.
If Philbin believes Flynn is franchise QB material then I would be ok with the Dolphins signing him,
In other words, if Flynn ends up being our starting QB I’ll be happy, because that means Philbin believes he’s elite. The thing is, we dont know what Philbin thinks of Flynn as of right now, I believe Philbin thinks he’s a good QB, not an elite one, and that he would prefer RGIII, but thats just me, who know what he really thinks.

I would
Flynn has nowhere near the physical ability that Robert Griffin does. And Griffin did things in college that Flynn never could, despite Flynn playing on a national powerhouse and Griffin playing for a school focused on Women’s Basketball. Griffin has 10x the potential Flynn has right now. I would venture a guess that Philbin, if given the choice, would take Griffin over Flynn, because I believe 90% or more of football people would make the same choice.

Who said I agree with everything you are saying?
Your guess is Philbin would rather have Griffin over Flynn but I have serious doubts about that given the scheme Philbin employs. Philbin’s offense doesn’t need a Cam Newton it needs an Aaron Rodgers. If Flynn is the real deal, then Philbin knows it. If Philbin knows it, then Jeff Ireland knows it too. Griffin has incredible upside (Potentially even greater than Luck) but Flynn may be ready now. Flynn will cost Stephen Ross money. Griffin will cost Philbin the chance to upgrade his team with top quality talent for at least 1 season in a city not known for its patience.
Philbin has said you tailor your offense to your personnel which says to me he doesn’t need Griffin to succeed and that he could be successful with Flynn or with someone other than Griffin. I just would take 2 first rounders, a second rounder and a third rounder over RG3 on a team that has such a solid core in place and is missing 6-8 pieces from being a solid contender on a yearly basis. RG3 takes care of one missing piece but the others aren’t getting filled for another year (Not counting the 1-3 guys we might swing in free agency). I’d rather sign Flynn and 2 free agents and then draft 3 guys in the first 3 rounds to fill out nearly all of the missing pieces right from the get go.

I would love to see Philbin get his hands on RG3...
Think what Reid did with McNabb… only RG3 is a better athlete I think with better accuracy… Plus he is just an amazing athlete… He is instantly like having another RB and a QB wrapped up in one person… This is not to detract from his ability to play QB of course, but he is a legitimate threat to take it to the house himself on every single play. The West Coast offense is a very QB friendly system… I see big things if we get RG3 here … I see us doing big things with RG3 next season… I don’t think we have to give up on his rookie year our chances of going to the playoffs.

Notice the bold part. I am saying I hope you are right that 90% of football people would choose FG3 over Flynn since it would make the market demand for Flynn smaller and hopefully mean we can take a lesser cap hit to bring him here. Hope that straightens out all the confusion.

I'm going to go ahead and say NO...
to Robert Griffin III. He had a really good year, but not every case works out like Cam Newton’s did. I believe that Irsay is enough of a douche to let Manning go even if he’s healthy AND then take RGIII number one in the draft after he blows up the Combine and makes everyone go nuts with even more hype about how fast and amazing he is. Griffin will blow Luck away at the Combine because so much pressure is being put on Luck to be the second coming. He trailed off towards the end of last season whereas Griffin surged forward. That leaves us with the possibility to trade up with the Rams for Luck, which I am all for. If that doesn’t happen then I’m all for Manning if he’s healthy or Flynn if Philbin thinks he’s the real deal – in that order, with us drafting Tannehill in the second.
Hail To The King, Baby!!!!
And if the Colts take RGIII, as I suspect they will after they are blown away by his combine,
that will be sweet to get Luck because I think he may be our next Dan Marino and I think that his skills will transfer over to the NFL FAR better than RGIII’s will. RGIII will still need a few years in my honest opinion as well.
Hail To The King, Baby!!!!

If they take RG3
I am all in on going to get Luck. Absolutely but it will cost because everyone else will wanting to get St Louis Pick you may have to give the whole damn draft and some to get him.
There is only one Al Davis .... and he is no longer with us...
I don’t see them doing anything like that… I honestly hope for Peyton that he is healthy and they look to trade out of that pick and get a king’s ransom for Luck. If they do that … we would be INSANE not to pay that king’s ransom. If they let him go we have to pick him up on a contract tied to him playing with not a lot of risk if he doesn’t. Worst case scenario we get him here in Miami and working with out young QBs.
We had [Brady] down… but we didn’t kick him. We helped him up and gave him a PowerPuff Girls band-aid for his knee. What exactly did you expect would happen when we did that?

My two cents...
Peyton Manning- IF he is healthy there is no bettle signal caller in the last 14 years in the league. His health is and will be a concern for the rest of his career… BUT we do have a capable backup in Moore. And if we draft Tannehill in the second round (which is highly possible this could work out great.
Matt Flynn- Alot goes about him not having ‘experience’ but same could have been said about Brady years ago when he sat behind Drew Bledsoe. Its not so much about experience as it is about how intelligent you are. Flynn has shown that he has heart, determination, and ability to read defenses in the few chances he has to show it. And now we have his former ‘coach’ who knows his strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. And for this purpose he would be great addition to the team, BUT does still involve risk just as Peyton Manning would. But for a different reason, he is young and inexperienced. Not injured.
Andrew Luck- if by some chance the Colts take RGIII and we have a chance to trade the Rams for the second overall pick.. is it truly worth mortgaging our future, and some other pressing needs just to get the second coming (speculation).. maybe maybe not.. but just know with this decision rides alot… either you become a saint or a sinner.. loved or hated… BUT if you do not mortgage your future… your less likely to get ridiculed for it.
RGIII- he shows great promise, and much like the previous it involves mortgaging your future to get a POSSIBLE signal caller, just better make sure hes the REAL DEAL.. and not a Ryan Leaf, or Akili Smith…
To be honest I would LOVE to have any of these, AS LONG AS THEY WORK OUT.. but each one involves its own risk… but they all could very well be an award as well.. And im sure EVERYONE agrees that Phins fans deserve a reward after the last 10 years of heartache and dissapointment stemmed from the Wandstedt regime….

Yawn.....
Another boring RG3 post. With Coach Philbin having knowledge of Matt Flynn and Mike Sherman having knowledge of Ryan Tannehill = NO RG3!
Maybe his knowledge of both of those players drives him away from them...
You never really know until free agency opens .. do you? but if we don’t make a play for Flynn that will be all I need to know…

Its doubtfull Manning will ever play again, and that is truly sad
His ex coach Dungy said he would retire before playing for anyone else anyway. We have a new coach and from what ive seen and heard him say, in Philphin, I trust will make the right decision. Until he proves that trust wrong, I belive they will do whats best for our team.I mean who knows Flynn better, the rest are a guessing game. We will see.

Agree with most of what you say
from the free agency perspective anyway.
I do think that – whether he pans out or not – Flynn is the best option this off-season. Even more so than RG3 and Manning,
People are giving Manning way too much credit as to what he’d bring to Miami. You’re dreaming if you think he’d give you anything substantial at all in a new system with unfamiliar players around him, and having taken an entire season off with a broke neck/nerve injury that has depleted him of a substantial amount of arm strength. Maybe if we could get Manning’s brain and transplant it into a worthy physical QB specimen that would be awesome…but until that technology arrives, I say Miami should go hard after Flynn.
One advantage to getting Flynn beyond the obvious is that we don’t lose any draft picks. We can build depth and draft to fill needs AND have our QB situation set up all before the first camp.
I love how the Towel Throwers and Henne haters are quickly silenced by the smallest modicum of success. Here's a thought: You'll never appreciate the successes unless you believe and support them when they're supposed to be down. I don't care how entitled you feel that you are to your negativity, a person that boos their own team is simply a jerk.
agree with almost everything. Personally I dont think the Nicks signing is a good idea.
He will be way to expensive. There is no reason for us to have 3 1st round picks and the highest paid G in history on the O-Line. Great organizations/teams are able to find values, especially on the O-Line. Plus, I dont think the interior O-Line was much of a problem last year. IMO RT is the only weakness on the line and I think playing Jerry at RT solves that problem. While I agree Nicks would be a great addition, the money it would cost makes him a luxury, not a necessity.

Mathis would be HUGE!
And Reggie Nelson and Carl Nick would be a big upgrade as well
Pat White11 er. RG111
The only way I would draft RG111 is if he falls to number eight and agrees to work for food. Then I would waste a first round pick on him.

Because people consistently feel the need to compare RG3 to Pat White even though they have nothing in common...
Andrew Luck will now be referred to Chad Henne 2.0.

MULTI PLAYER TRADE FOR RGIII?
I believe RGIII is a great athlete and MAY make a great NFL QB but some of the comments above sound like another Mike Ditka trade all picks for RW. As already stated several times – no one knows Matt Flynn better than Philbin and if he goes after Flynn to fill the QB needs than I will consider that a good move. No way is Philbin/Ireland going to give up that many players on a maybe QB.
Now I hear a lot of people talking about trading Marshall and Soliei (sp) – the FINS have been trading away players for a decade who have talent only to go on and be great players – time to stop that – Marshall has proven his worth and Solei from what I have seen and heard is one of the best nose tackles in the league. Seems to me there are very few players they can afford to trade or let go because the team is good right now and will be better with some great draft choices and FA picks – but what ever bye bye colombo. Call me crazy but I have a good feeling about the 2012 Fins – not SB wise but maybe a 10-6 team. I love they spoiled the Yets chances and I love the NY Giants for beating NE last night. Did anyone notice Belecheat’ face after the game? Priceless!
Distaine, disheartenment, disenchantment, disbelife that wes welker droped a wide open reception like that, oh he keeped his head buried in the turff. The horror as 100 of 100 pitch & catch droped
mindlessly to the turff & thinking justafication in a small dose is cause to cellibrate!
