Found this article about MR T working for the fins,is this weird to anyone?I find it to be an odd signing a month before the regular season
No, I don't hate the Dolphins, I pity the fools. --- Apologies for the obligatory Rocky III reference. They're hiring him as a consultant- it's not clear if he'll actually have meaningful responsibilities with them, or if it's just a "here's $250,000 a year so the GM can bounce some ideas off you for a few hours a month" kind of a thing.
We can only hope he eventually starts doing contracts for their players. That should screw them up for a few years.
When were we ever in cap hell under Tannenbaum? It took just one year to shed all the vets and create a young core again. We aren't even using all of our fuckin cap space today. He was a shitty GM and talent evaluator but he never fucked up the cap. Edit: hopefully he's scouting for the Fins. That'd be cool.
Jets weren't in cap hell under T-Bomb. That is a fact. That said, you cannot deny T-Bomb concentrated much of the cap space to the selected few players. When they flopped, Jets were fucked. That is NOT how you set up your roster. I want the Phags to do just that actually.
Major problem was he viewed Sanchez and Holmes as elite players that you could build around. He built around them. I thought the 08-10 teams were really fuckin good. His drafting was curiously solid under Mangini and dogshit under RR, obviously others being involved.
Congratulations, Miami. You lost LeBron, kept Chris Bosh, and signed Mike Tannenbaum. Banner fucking month. Thanks for making everyone else look so very good. - The United States of America
Maybe dolphags sign that stupid looking fatass guard mike wasted a second rounder on because the sieve went to umass.
Blame Woody for Tebow. The Sanchez huge extension is what killed him, and us, to some degree. I still can't believe how it worked out for Sanchez. So much promise. Things were really looking great for this team. Wow. Although I'm glad to have moved on at QB, part of me is still making excuses for Sanchez. He got the crap beat out of him once Tanny/Woody/Rex thought the team was better than they were, spent bad money at the expense of spending to maintain a solid O-line WITH DEPTH. That's Tanny's legacy in my mind. The same thing happened years earlier.
I agree he overvalued Sanchez and Tone. And big contracts to both of those guys did him (and the team) in. He also went into seasons with inadequate depth at the skill positions and the OL. I don't agree that the 08-10 teams were that good. I don't blame him for bringing in Favre even though it didn't work out. The guy he replaced had a much better season (in Miami of all places) than the big star he signed (in 2008). But if you ask me is Mike a competent football man. And someone who could be an NFL GM. I would say YES.
