I don't think this is a bad question... I think he is absolutely here this year... but I think if he has another uninspired year or two that they look to move him out at the most financially advantageous time in his contract thinking dead cap hit...

This is pretty aggressive statement lol from a Dad whose son needs a job... not saying it makes it all true... but it is certainly what a lot of us see on the outside... count me in to see a Dolphins implosion this year.

This is where I am at... we can win it this year... I do think they have transitioned nicely for the future... now we have to have some defensive picks hit and not just as serviceable starters... but the ones that wreck games .... but in the end... lets see but I like the future for this group.

100% this^ ...... the offense will juggernaut... through some games especially in the regular season but absolutely cannot be expected to consistently do that in the playoffs against that level of competition... they need help... that simple.

They may be right if Bosa and White and a healthy Milano (oxymoron I know) and the entire draft class that seemingly was geared to addressing the defensive issues fails... and it could... Bosa and Milano could be oft injured, White could be a shell, and we could get little to no impact out of the DL we drafted and Hairston could continue to struggle as some have reported... if this is the case, they are not wrong... run back the defensive performance that we had last year or something similar then I do not at all see a way into the big game.... but to say we havent addressed it or at least focused on it I dont think is accurate... we will advance in the playoffs to the level they have achieved improvement on Defense.. IMO, Offense is gonna offense is gonna offense, Josh is gonna Josh... that is going to carry the day into the playoffs... but he needs some support to win it all... If we get a little luck and drafted well... winning it all based on the improvement is absolutely in play.... to further the optimism... even if we don't this year and the draft class grows and develops out of their rookie year because we hit on a few... to me the future is even brighter as you shed dead cap space and aging veteran contracts... that are replaced with young starters on rookie deals.. you stay relevant... Bottom line, who knows... but I am ok with our approach this year... time will tell... and fortunes hopefully fall our way and they are wrong... but to me to dismiss their thoughts as not valid, well... lets see...

I am suspect on the accusers motivation... I am also sensitive to the fact that her allegations may be true and she has been beating this drum for a while... I am supportive of what Max has to say and the vetting process leading to drafting him. I am also concerned by the allegations... I will say that if no other allegations from other women come out, I am more inclined to believe that this is a nothing burger... maybe the truth is in the middle... like she believes what happened was wrong and what happened wasnt technically a crime... I don't know... I have no clue... nor am I going to pretend I have insight as both eventualities could be true. what I do know is that in the absence of clear evidence of guilt and simply a he said she said... I am not condemning either... because dismissing a woman who claims foul when we don't know all of the facts is not where I wanna be... and condemning a young man because someone filed suit immediately after he got a contract is equally wrong... I get we want to compartmentalize and resolve it... but it in the end our presumptions can lead to situations like Ariaza where he as punished by getting cut because an accuser was either feeding BS or misrememebered or conversely dismissing the claims of a woman who was wronged because there are others like Watson where he was a scumbag.... We just don't know and its too important to me at least to pass judgement and come to conclusion based on an article. We have both Criminal and civil proceedings for a reason... when it plays out I will come to my conclusion... in the meantime, I presume innocence until otherwise proven guilty. I am not saying you should agree with me... just this is where I stand and why.

Buffalo - Realistic AFC Div/Champ Optimistic - SB Victory Baltimore - same as Bills KC - honestly same as Bills (I think AFC SB team is in these 3) The rest of my relevant Bengals - WC/In the hunt AFCCG Phins - top 10 pick In the hunt Jets - Top 10 pick Top 15 pick Pats In the hunt WC game Stillers - WC Division Rd Chargers - In the hunt WC Houston WC/Division AFCCG NFC Philly NFCCG SB win Washington W/C /Division SB loss LA Rams - WC Division Detroit - NFCCG Super bowl loss Dallas - Painful Jerry Jones in full meltdown mode ok maybe reverse these... then again maybe not...

Indeed perfect description for him.

Pullin a Vonte

Tasker Wallace Francis Christie Marv Bateman HM to Adam Lingner Just had to give props to some of the older names out there....

No I was meaning like locker room stuff.. cause I didnt see issue on the field.

I agree I am thinking there were reasons other than football

I have no idea why they let go of Smith here... maybe Cap, maybe attitude but an almost 900 yd TE with an ageing 1WR and an always injured 2WR and I am not sure what they were thinking other than getting themselves in CAP shape.. they bit a big chunk signing Tua... I know right... he seemed to have good games against us and is brutal to bring down in the 2ndry...

and Jonnu Smith I am sorry but he was pretty clutch against us I am happy he is gone.

clear cut, I agree... both got rid of some headache, Dolphins get the better player, Steelers win position value but I lean Steelers...because of Jonnu Smith...I thought he was a really nice weapon for them last year... he seemed to be hard for us to handle in the 2ndry I am glad he is gone he would have led our team in WR yards last year... Not sure what the Dolphins werent liking in him...
