.@MiamiDolphins have been historically awful the first 2 weeks of season.
But which team is better off of the future?
An uncompetitive 0-16 team with $160 mil in cap space & 6 of the top 65 picks in next years draft or a semi-competitive 3-13 team with limited cap space?
Miami’s front office has correctly determined that in todays @NFL if you don’t have exceptional QB play you aren’t getting a ring.
Entire seasons imploding right now because QB went down (ie. Pittsburgh).
2 of best rosters (Minnesota & Chicago) are being held back by QB play.
Over the next 2 years @MiamiDolphins will have 9 picks in the first two rounds of the @NFLDraft. That’s a top QB & 8 starters playing on rookie contracts for 4 to 5 years. Plus more cap space than they could possibly spend to fill in the gaps. This is a legitimate plan.
Way you build a 🏆 roster in @NFL?
1. Franchise QB on rookie contract but who you will eventually have to pay;
2. Core stars on rookie contracts; and
3. Sprinkled with solid veterans on reasonable contracts
@MiamiDolphins have accumulated picks for #1 & #2 & cap space for #3
Football teams take on personality of their coach
Coach Flo of @MiamiDolphins has overcome adversity his entire life through effort & resiliency
2019 will be a season filled with adversity
Think of it as a 16 game pre-season to find resilient players in face of adversity
Minkah is a good kid & very good player. But he didn’t want to be @MiamiDolphins.
Many teams make mistake of keeping guys who don’t “fit” because of their talent. You know who doesn’t coddle or overpay anyone & yet consistently beats teams with better overall rosters? @Patriots
A few years ago @MiamiDolphins played 2 seasons in stadium while it was being remodeled. Stadium looked ugly in that phase.
Today it’s world class venue that will host top events (including Super Bowls) for years to come
That is what they are now doing on the football side
You can’t succeed without vision & @MiamiDolphins have one
It’s 2021 & they have:
young star QB
roster of young talent on rookie contracts & solid vets
play on grass in 1st class stadium in a Brady-less division
with 1st class training facility
& NO STATE INCOME TAX
