Dolphins are the kings of "were going to do this"

 

This just scream Ross trying to cover himself when things go bad. We were gonna have Brady and SP but we ended up Tua and Hill instead

Payton would actually be a good fit for Tua as he’s got the same PHYSICAL skill set as Brees.

Except in decisiveness in throwing the damn ball

Exactly. I’m just saying they are built similarly. If anybody can get something out of Tua, it would’ve been Payton who transformed Brees from very good to elite.

How would that have worked anyway? Isn't Payton still under contract with the Saints? They would have had to give up a lot of draft picks

 

The same way they were going to make Brady work while he was under contract in Tampa. $$$ and draft picks.

If true this has to be very awkward for McDaniel (who is a very awkward cat to begin with).

 

Just like all the Tua/Watson chatter last year.

 

But at the end of the day a lot of us are 'Plan B' so to speak even in our professional jobs where the primary candidate declines an offer. Just how things work in life.

So they wanted him and Brady or him and deshaun and ended up with Tua and the Tinder Swindler.

There also were rumors that when they were trying to trade for Watson, the Phins offered to settle the cases against him for $100k each.

Fins supposedly had 5 year @ $20MM per year deal ready for Sean Peyton

 

Recall that they were also supposedly hot to trot for Watson and possibly Brady.  They ended up with the “splash” of an allegedly better (in OTA’s) Tua and Tyreek Hill. 

Funny that they couldn't do the smart obvious thing, because they couldn't hire a white guy.... then hired the whitest black guy I've ever seen 😆.

 

This is what you get when you bow down to PC crowd. They didn't even win good will points with the hire, because the guy looks white

No need to manufacture outrage. The change in direction was nothing more than Ross protecting himself against a tampering accusation that would derail his ownership.

Perhaps, but Brees is one of the most accurate QB's in NFL history, a future first-ballot hall of famer, a great leader, super competitive, and pretty smart. It's not accurate to say that Tua has any of that, and I'd say Brees had a much stronger arm in his prime than Tua has.

 

Tua is just a mediocre QB, honestly.

Imagine how shot Tuas confidence could be. Flores didn’t believe in him and benched him for fitz. Ownership wanted to trade him for Watson or get Brady instead. 
 

that whole organization is toxic. Can’t forget about how ownership was wanting Flores to lose.

 

now their young rookie head coach has to deal with this Sean Payton stuff. He must feel like plan b. No one likes to be plan b. 
 

getting tyreek was like polishing a turd.
