Me too. Think how atrocious our secondary is as of right now. May have been the worst in the league but right now they are without a doubt. We had such a long stretch of great CB play from Eric Allen to Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor to Asante Samuel. Some really excellent safeties with them along the way in Wes Hopkins to Brian Dawkins then Malcolm Jenkins to this. Absolutely NOTHING at LBer, CB or Safety. Really ugly situation.
But on the flip side he was getting 8 million a year with us this year and next. Not into giving potential 34 year old safeties making 8 million a huge pay raise. They just HAVE to start getting younger. Tough situation for Philly because he was the leader of that D and a tremendous part of the community.
Sadly, I'm not sure our DBs are much better right now...

Yeah, we are both hurting in the backfield. Only thing good we have on D is DT. Looooooong way to go

Of course I'm wrong I said Devonte Parker was done....he proved me wrong. I never said that bridge would never be a starter again only said he was a coward for not taking a starting NFL gig. He's fortunate it worked out.
By your own rationale. Did parker prove you wrong? For3.5 years he was poop. Took an injury to an udfa, and fitzmagic to thrust him into being "good" for 1/2 a season. Man how
Lucky that an injury helped him out.

Have to say, I love seeing Philly lose him. Huge from an NFC East perspective

He was the only reliable player in the back end of their D. Doesn't bode well for Eagle fans. Then again mediocrity is their middle name. Back to throwing snowballs at Santa for entertainment.

Ah your comparison is flawed as Parker wasn't on the bench last year the lightbulb just finally went off. Fitz definitely didn't hurt as he kept throwing to him even when covered. In the past Parker would just watch a defender pick it off but he suddenly decided to go up and snag it instead and play tough. We were all shocked.

Now Parker didn't ask to be traded to the Saints to sit on the bench hoping for an opportunity behind a probowler. He instead persevered with his opportunity and turned his career around on the worst team in history according to you... see the difference?

In the end bridge did get his opportunity and hopefully he rolls with it but luck played a part. Why? Because brees went down if you can't see this then I'm not sure what to say. Maybe we all imagined his injury.

parkers overall targets etc, increased due to injury....you do realize everyone again has said you're wrong, but you stand fast in denial. Like always. And like always, other dolphins flopped, but you find one to thump your chest about.

True but Parker still made plays that he wasn't making in the past he looked impressive you can't deny this.

Everyone? So 2-3 people on the hope determine opinions now? Good to know. I didn't deny that it didn't work out for bridge in the end but he was fortunate very fortunate that he caught a break. Even still he's underpaid and was only taken on my Carolina who's looking to rebuild. They may not be any better than Miami was this past year. If he took Miami's offer and played like Fitz did he may have received far better opportunities and contract. I know I was impressed as to what Fitz did and would have been the same with bridge and he still has age on his side. But what do I know....

As per the Fins I know that you believe they were the worst in the history of football so how did they walk into NE and take them out when they needed the win for home field? How if they were so shitty? Explain to me. This was also with numerous starters on IR already.

Also remind us how its going to take ten years before Miami rebuilds through the draft and FA. They seem to already be on the right path I'd be willing to take the under on 10 years if you want an easy bet since you are so confident....let's go!!!!!!!!

parker made those plays after an injury. You cant deny this. At the point i made the statements. They were historically bad, Yes, historically. They at that time had the worst defense, point differential etc you have continued to twist and extrapolate those comments for an entire season. Kudos to you. You continue to eek and twist everything. Just like you did here with bridgewater. More have called you out for it, yet you continue to deny........Here you are again, ignoring things, countering with questions. Its like clock work. Ten years? so confident in the phins taking ten years? you got that out of my last post? lets s goooo!!! wtf??

wtf you make shit up......jesus..........I love how in the other thread I would direct quote things you said, and things I said to point out how the the you were trying to say, were said, were wrong. You would quote my exact post, and twist it.....its insanse

You said it would take ten years rebuilding through the draft even with 14 picks this year and 100 M in cap. Those were your words are you going to make me find it for you? You forget already?

Of course they were bad to start as they pillaged the NFL after the preseason and ran with numerous players that weren't there for training camp or preseason. Obviously this makes no difference in your world why have camps and preseason?

Bottom line is that Parker played better he always received numerous targets the point is that he was finally making plays. I guess that doesn't matter either.....

through just the draft yes, thanks for twisting that, draft ALONE.

Ok say i was right they sucked, again, thank you.

he received over 3 more targets per game and was the #1, effectively running somewhat different route tree now. So again, injuries helped him. Thanks again..........Bridgewater made plays too

Again, ive quoted previously what both you, and I have said in discussions. i have done the leg work before, and found those posts. You ignored them, and continued to twist things.

You were called out here for the same shit here by numerous people. You're twisting things as we speak now. Its crazy.

tell me where i said i was so sure? tell me where i wanted to bet?

Yes taking a NFL starting job is garbage no opportunity there...come on man that's ridiculous. to say that he would have received a starting job if he benchwarmed all year is pretty damn optimistic. Sure it can happen as it has in the past to a few but to guarantee this especially with his past injuries is ludicrous at best. Some could say that if he took the Fins offer and played like Fitz being still relatively young that he would have been more than a placeholder. Heck they are keeping Fitz for another year and he's old!

Once upon a time Bridgewater was a starter. Got hurt and hurt bad. Took years to battle back. He was on a good team with a aging QB and by aging I mean a QB 40 years old. Saints seemed too like him a bunch. Not much of a stretch to think he would be the heir apparent. A 40 year old QB getting hurt doesn't seem so much luck as likely. Then there was the Dolphins looking for a bridge QB. Offering a modest contract that a bridge QB could expect. Not a long term situation even though you want to play the what if game..."what if he was amazing? They would make him their guy" Never was going to happen with a team that traded away talent for picks and cap space in a rebuilding mode. It's not like this scenario hasn't been played out numerous times with teams in full rebuild mode.
I totally understand Bridgewater passing on being the bridge QB for the Dolphins. The bridge was going to be short lived and his prospects on the Saints looked good. 40 years of age, good chance Brees retires or gets hurt. Why you got all butt hurt about him turning the Dolphins down is a mystery to me. Bridgewater isn't special, could be maybe a bit over average perhaps. You seemed to take it personally repeatedly calling him a coward for not settling to be a bridge QB, then beating your chest with tales of your own personal success. You seemed to really want to share that personal triumph with SportsHoopla in a chest beating fashion.
Be a man and just admit you were wrong.
