A few days again I requested the easy query, who’s the previous or present participant for our Miami Dolphins that you simply dislike or despise essentially the most? The Phinsider trustworthy didn’t disappoint together with gamers and even coaches. Some names got here up repeatedly with most being no shock though there have been some shocking names and a few much more shocking reasoning, but it surely’s you, the readers, and trustworthy followers of the location’s submit. Under are a few of the feedback from that submit.
Alpha6 went again a method however I’ll confess that I actually keep in mind this choose very properly.
GOOD EVENING of us. The #1 Miami Dolphins Draft Bust (and my hatred) of All Time is… Eric Kumerow, who was a 1988 1st-round choose, was sixteenth general. For all of his strengths, there’s one factor Don Shula was not. drafter. The Eric Kumerow choice highlights this truth. I keep in mind the Miami Herald’s headline the subsequent day after the Dolphins chosen Kumerow was… “Who???” Nobody, and I imply nobody, thought-about this big-for-nothing Ohio State linebacker a first-round choose. Noticed him in pre-season video games. The man was Peter Griffin misplaced. Good Lawd. And primarily based on his NFL profession, we see what a steaming pile of canine shit the man was. Kumerow spent three seasons within the league with the Dolphins earlier than fading into obscurity – by no means… ever! having began an NFL recreation.
Invoice Moody factors out a participant that has all the time bothered me. Hate to see somebody with pure expertise and talent throw it away resulting from simply silly causes. Or perhaps I’m unsuitable and he was a dud all alongside that wanted PEDs to have the ability to play at something that resembles a excessive degree.
Participant – Dion Jordan – Dude was drafted with a #3 general choose, after which couldn’t get out of his personal method by getting suspended. By no means lived as much as his billing even when on the sphere, and okay that occurs, however while you’re getting suspended for PEDs 3 occasions after which failing a bodily after being reinstated you simply suck. I’ll let the primary violation slide, but when he didn’t study his lesson after that, then screw him. Whole waste of a premium choose. Coach – Nick Saban. Couldn’t minimize it as an NFL coach and left the staff excessive and dry mid-season. So screw him too.
daytonadolfan doesn’t just like the peacock/diva/smug sort of participant and no place has extra divas through the years than broad receiver.
Good night, Mike Wallace, smug shit-talker, Brandon Marshall is an in depth second, each simply rubbed me the unsuitable method. Each are proficient, simply self-serving pricks.
Spok507 remains to be sad about some QB choice points this staff had though he was certainly one of many. Geeze we now have suffered for therefore lengthy…
Most disliked participant? Jay Fiedler. In all probability by no fault of his personal, however he’s the man Waanstadt determined was ‘simply nearly as good’ as Drew Brees — earlier than Brees had ever even thrown an NFL move — and went on to show how unsuitable a coach could possibly be. After all, Waanstadt — who’s prime of my listing of worst coaches ever (simply behind Devil) — claims it was his OC Chan Gailey who determined to not draft Brees. Positive, Dave. No matter. If we add coaches to the query, Jimmy Johnson, who drove Dan Marino out in an effort to remake the Fins in his picture however nonetheless couldn’t make the Dolphin followers neglect about Shula and Marino, after which handed the reins to his buddy Waanstadt who managed to drive the franchise into the bottom come an in depth second to Devil who slinked out of city after publicly proclaiming he was sticking with the Dolphins. His excuse was they handed over Brees once more for Culpepper, however I feel he simply couldn’t deal with teaching precise males and most popular the ability he had teaching boys. Now I can add Flores for being such a ache within the butt and making up issues only for revenge as an alternative of being an grownup and transferring on.
Call_for_the_Priest’77 had a good variety of points with sure gamers.
THE SERIOUS DISHONOURABLE MENTIONS: Dion Jordan: Flushed his skilled profession down the bathroom and screwed us out of a variety of draft capital. Hurts all of the extra realizing that present Eagles RT Lane Johnson was proper there for the taking after we traded as much as #3… Johnathan Martin: The man was clearly not minimize out for professional soccer, whether or not he knew it or not earlier than turning professional. Too unhealthy the remainder of us needed to discover out till after we wasted a second-round choose on him. Richie Incognito: I suppose I’ve to be truthful and embody this software if I’m going to incorporate ‘Mamas Boy’ Martin. It looks as if he should have been on Martin’s case for no matter motive and by no means backed off. First rate sufficient participant for us when he wasn’t below suspension and compelled off the staff. Minka Fitzpatrick: Nice expertise, piss-poor perspective. Had the expertise to play the a number of positions he was requested to however apparently, this didn’t fulfill his ego. We may have been quite a bit higher staff transferring ahead with him on D possessing the proper perspective. As an alternative, we principally acquired Austin Jackson from the draft in return… OUCH! Jamar Fletcher: Dolphins 1st spherical choose CB in the course of the Wannstedt regime. After a 12 months or two he wound up in DW’s doghouse for whereas resulting from slack play and questionable damage break day. Ultimately, he acquired placed on IR with a damaged arm or elbow. When requested if JM’s absence would damage the staff DW repeatedly replied: “Not one bit!” That was the final he performed with Miami although he would play one other 5 years within the league. Apparently not the best instance of a staff participant for us not less than. FUNNY DISHONOURABLE MENTIONS: Uewe von Shauman: (80s Kicker) For having the craziest title of any Dolphins participant. (is perhaps unsuitable spelling, however shut sufficient….) Thurman Thomas: For all of the years he was a Dolphin killer, as an alternative of a Dolphin! Trent Sherfield: Chargeable for the worst (although funniest) security our staff has ever taken (ie: the “Butt Punt”) Jason Taylor: For electing to put on the nauseating inexperienced of the NYJ!! (Truly, that’s not so humorous!) Dan Marino: Clearly for by no means profitable a friggin Superbowl!!!!
KingYak6 was quick and to the purpose and his alternative was the one participant that I assumed everybody would point out.
Jonathan Martin
edwinpena actually did not like ole “Smokin’ Jay”!
For me, it’s acquired to be Jay Cutler. I guess everybody in that locker room wished to punch his lights out. He cared zippo and was the “anti-leader” at QB, even, the place one is most wanted. I guess he referred to as Ross after each recreation to ensure his $ acquired deposited into his account that very same day or evening. What a POS and waste. The quantity # 2 spot for me was Dion Jordan. That choose damage the staff for years ahead. So far as coaches, Nick Devil and Cam Moron are on the prime. Two gems!
herbert pollack managed to solidify his alternative lengthy earlier than the participant ever hit the NFL.
Simple. Jay Fiedler. I’m a 12 months older, performed towards him in a summer time basketball tourney, he was soiled on the court docket. His dad coached Springfield Gardens HS, they had been in our convention. They received the NYC PSAL championship my junior 12 months, we performed them fairly tight each occasions. I roomed with their PG at a 5-star basketball camp the subsequent summer time. Once we performed them the next fall I went over to say hi there, hug, and many others and he yelled at me to get again to my aspect. Once we performed them at their faculty (blizzard that day), our coach was working late and he stated to me (I used to be captain) you’re quarter-hour are up get your 5 on the court docket. They preceded to blow us out and he saved the pedal all the best way to the ground your complete recreation.
mike mars has an inventory of dislikes and an inventory of men that we should always have chosen as an alternative.
Jay Cutler, Eddie Moore, John Avery, Yatil Greene, Jamar Fletcher, Eric Kumerow, and Ricki Williams for a waste of a profession and who selected dope of soccer? Particular Point out to Ted Ginn and the household. As an alternative of drafting 6 of the above, may have had Anquan Boldin, Reggie Wayne, Thurman Thomas or Randle McDaniel, or Randy Moss(traded down) Not drafting Ted Ginn may have gotten us certainly one of 3 HOFs or 1 of a bevy of superstars. Coaches; Fail ahead Philbin, and Dope Ross gave him an extension, CamerMoron (1 and 15),
Tpross09 highlights a few gamers. I’ll defend certainly one of these selections primarily based on the explanations he gave, Inexperienced, who got here in as a terrific participant after which had a number of accidents on one play on the primary day of coaching camp. Accidents that he may by no means totally get better from and which no GM can predict. In simply three seasons he had ten surgical procedures on only one knee.
The crux is – do you hate the participant or the decision-maker that authored the choose? For me, the gamers are Yatl inexperienced or Jackie Ship. Each had been first-round busts. Sorry, however I’d make a greater GM than even our present GM if given the prospect. You don’t solely draft on potential within the 1st spherical – you need to see it on manufacturing and school tape. So my most hated is the proprietor for pushing his need over sound soccer judgment.
Yarganaught remains to be upset with Wanny!
Dave Pornstache… And his predictable playbook of “Run, Run, Move, Punt”. I really feel just like the staff took a flip for the more severe when he took over, and it took a decade to see the tip.
Luvs2drnk2.0 makes me marvel what’s completely different from model 1.0 however does level out one other disappointing participant.
Gotta be Sammie Smith. One of many worst RB to ever be in a Dolphins jersey, and that’s saying one thing when in comparison with Lawrence Phillips and Cecil Collins.
EJPLAYA dislikes a bust from the previous in addition to a present participant for a a lot completely different motive.
Going to must go together with Dion Jordan. No effort in any way. Second, for me can be X. Holding this staff hostage over that renegotiated contract doesn’t sit properly with me. Particularly since he has been a bum nearly all of the time after that.
72Phins4ever factors out some previous disappointments.
The primary participant that got here to thoughts was Cecil “The Deisel” Collins. He may have been an entire stud RB behind Dan however he most popular being a thug. Nevertheless, he takes a again seat to the unique “Karen” on this staff. Johnathan Martin. Our Oline suffered for a few years after his BS.
dolphinfan1323 chimed in to defend a former head coach.
So far as coaches I see Joe Philbin getting hate he wasn’t coach however wasn’t a foul man the man misplaced his child in the course of the time the Miami dolphins are interviewing him and hoped he would have success. The one coach Miami has had that I really feel was really actually soiled and character points was Brian Flores
CJT13 factors out one other disappointment apart from that one recreation towards the New York Jets the place he took two kickoffs to the home and virtually a 3rd however was past inconsistent.
Ted Ginn undoubtedly is my most hated. Stone palms and all the time ran out of bounds too early on punt and kick returns. Drove me loopy!
In order that’s only a few of the feedback from that submit which was top-of-the-line we now have had as far as whole responses to a query. A few of these had been apparent to me and a few had been head scratchers however that’s what makes for good debates so thanks to everybody.
