Has absolutely nothing to do with our arguments, for those of us who are arguing against it. Reading comprehension.

Don't remember calling you out by name...but I guess you felt as though I did. Either that or you just needed to add to your post numbers by replying to a generic statement and acting like an intellectual with your "reading comprehension" dig. Do you feel better now that the internet has given you a venue to act smart behind a keyboard?? That's all I have to say about that. Back on topic....

Great post!

best post yet! Thank you!
listen guys if Vontae goes on to multiple pro Bowl's with the Colts I'll apologize to all of you, otherwise let's move on

I am a Dolphins fan; Mets fan; Knicks fan.......and I have proven that I don't jump on anyone else's bandwagon and I certainly know all too well about pain & suffering, but "someday" I will have my day in the sun as a fan again. All of these teams have had stretches throughout the years of going to the playoffs and being successful. You are a fan through thick and thin, unfortunately, outside the fun year of 2008, us Dolphin fans have lived through plenty of challenging moves and major disappointment.

Perhaps I felt this way before out of pure optimism, but this set of coaching changes with Philbin & Sherman & Coyle, I really like and I believe patience will pay off with these guys.

I am in agreement with you on the new direction with this coaching staff. Im more interested in the big picture long term, and that started with them getting Tannehill this year, and getting rid of the problem children that were still here. I really think they're gonna kill it next offseason.

His incident was showing up hungover to practice during the season last year.

Something tells me I didn't get good "value" for my season tickets.

I'm one of the people against the trade so obviously chief you're addressing me among the people who are somehow talking about winning a championship this year.

Have fun with that argument though. Not a single person here opining for a Super Bowl title in 2012. Our reasons for being against the VD trade are much different (not to mention a little more thought out than that) and that's just your attempt to marginalize them with a disingenuous response .....

Do you feel better now that the internet has given you a venue to make up arguments?

and it caused a fight with Marshall. Thats pretty freakin bad incident.

Where I come from (Miami)

how is a likely high 2nd round pick chump change for an up and down corner who was picked 25th overall? get some perspective.

Opinions vary on this trade Rock:



Dolphins get value in Vontae Davis trade

The mystery trade Indianapolis Colts president Jim Irsay had been hinting about on Twitter turned out to involve the Miami Dolphins. Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports the Dolphins traded cornerback Vontae Davis to the Colts for a second-round and a conditional late round pick in 2013.

I like this trade for Miami. Yes, the secondary is a little weaker. But Miami received good value for a cornerback who recently lost his starting job to free-agent signing Richard Marshall in training camp. Indianapolis' second-round pick could be a high one at the top of the round next year. The Dolphins now have two picks in the second and third rounds in the 2013 draft.

Davis has talent but also some baggage. He was suspended for one game last year due to a scuffle with former Dolphins receiver Brandon Marshall in practice and had immaturity issues. It was well-documented recently in "Hard Knocks," as Davis showed up to camp out of shape and taking ill-advised breaks in practice.

Davis wasn't the type of player new Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin wants in his locker room. Philbin is weeding out players like Davis, Marshall and Chad Johnson and moving on, regardless of talent.

The Dolphins take a little bit of a hit on defense in trading Davis. But Miami is rebuilding for the future anyway.

This move is about getting better in 2013 and beyond.

Bro, do you need a hug??? Stop assuming that I was including you in my statement. You are not the only one who responded to the trade negatively....

tnow pay attention because this is where you are getting lost the Generic Vibe or consensus is that the team was a better team with VD on it. The super bowl part of my statement was called SARCASM!

Where I come from (Miami) a turd is a turd is a turd. In other words this team stunk with VD on it and it stinks with out him. End of story.

Jooor from Hialeah, acere....

they signed Marshall for a reason. He had an excellent year in Arizona last year. He just doesn't carry the street name that Davis does. Simply Davis is overrated and Marshall is underrated.

Again, I have mixed feelings. Imean the Eagles got a 7th rd pick Asante Samual because of his attitude and that guy is a playmaker. lot's of picks while Vontea really hasn't done anything and we got 2 picks for him.

Looks like Philbin is cleaning house of "low" character, out of shape, cry baby players. I'll reserve judgement until we see what we get from him. Vontae is a good corner IMO, but how good is he really? We act like we ahve winning culture around here. Low character, talented players hardly ever win championships...Ricky, Ceceil Collins, B. Marhsall, Chad Johnson, and add vontae to thelist. We have sucked anyway and it seems like Philbin wants to change the culture around here, I have no problem with that.

Not to mention the cost of parking...

Or $200.00 for club liv...lol. Even with a free ticket it's still a $100.00 day with parking food and drinks. It's crazy.

If you don't eat at the stadium's concessions (food sucks anyway) and you don't drink alcohol (which I don't) then it is considerably less than 100 a day with a "free ticket."

exactly Mac, you have to change the culture to become a winner, otherwise we will stay a losing franchise. Rome wasnt built in a day.

I believe Vontae was injured last year. Is he in his last year of his contract? I really don't know...maybe it was a business decision?

Assante is 31 and injury prone.

Guys you're acting like we were a super bowl contender with Davis on roster.

Yep, he got torched last year in games and his int stats suck. He's really not that good IMO. COming to camp out of shape and showing up last year hungover shows no heart. I'm just gonna see what happens....

Wait and see what happens.
