Historically, if there is a team that could screw up a good draft, it was Miami. I get bad vibes with waddle, he strikes me as being really really immature, JP I don’t trust because of the medical history, he could cash out and bail or have a fantastic career, IDK. Liam is a guy that could end up being miami’s version of lamp, not able to transition inside and not able to handle speed on outside at the NFL level, or he could become a solid RT for ten years. I can’t explain it but I just have a bad feeling those guys not working out for them out there in miami, throw tua into that mix too. I hope I’m wrong because I don’t want miami and buffalo to let NE start a second dynasty Miami added so much talent.....but still need the most important position, QB. Tua is not their answer, just watch.....

Not everyone. I destroyed him. I said no way you draft a hybrid LB with the 6th overall pick. No value at that level at all. You are such a humble human being, it must be exhausting to be right about everything all the time, you thought slater would be the guy this year so credit is due there for sure. almost every expert agreed that he shouldn’t have been available at #13 so how you believed so fervently he would is kind of weird. I advocated for LT over other picks and darrisaw was certainly worth the #13 pick IMO but going slater was a no brainer, I had both slater and AVT ranked over both sewell and darrisaw in regards to bust potential. I just thought slater and AVT were the closest things to can’t miss for O-line available in this draft with jenkins coming in 3rd in that category. With the O-line situation I just felt the chargers needed a hit on the line and looks like they certainly got one. I thought I was excited to see herbert play in a pro offense last year but now the enthusiasm is off the charts... Nominated. Best post ever.

Congratulations! I had to get sober over 30 years ago myself. I was actually in the hospital recovering during Doug Williams super bowl in San Diego and my roommate was Walt Sweeney. Boy did he have stories about the chargers drug issues when he played. Those crack addict comments aren’t meant to be taken in any personal kind of way. Sorry if I stepped on any toes. We do all want the same thing. Hoping the chargers will finally get to the mountain too!! I’m an alcoholic and very recently relapsed. I was clean for 2 years in part because I worked on a forward operating base in Afghanistan and there was no booze. It’s one of the reasons I took the job, I needed to get away from it. I don’t think anyone here is trying to be disrespectful to people with substance abuse issues, it’s just a common turn of phrase comparing things to drugs. It certainly is appropriate when talking about addiction. Anyway, just thought I’d share since the subject came up. Moving on. You are making personal threats against me in PMs. Let's have it out right here on the board. Here I am. Like I said, you need to talk to chopper.

Miami added so much talent.....but still need the most important position, QB. Tua is not their answer, just watch..... That could've been us. They could've had Herbert. It's terrifying and keeps me up at night. I always thought them pulling Tua last season was detrimental to his development... He'll either sink or swim this year, I'm guessing the latter.

He'll either sink or swim this year, I'm guessing the latter. They shouldn’t have started Tua in the first place. That was the Dolphins huge mistake that will prove to be most detrimental to his development. Fitzpatrick would have gotten that team to the playoffs had he not been yanked without reason.

I'm not defending the decision to start Tua over Fitzpatrick. But sometimes teams know things that fans don't realize. Go back and follow Fitzpatrick's career. These are loose numbers to example what I am saying: He will come in and look like Aaron Rodgers, for about 5-6 games. Then he falls off. Like falls straight off a cliff. There are reasons he is on his 9th team now. If you are great, that doesn't happen.

They rushed a young QB coming off of a devastating injury and paid the cost in two big ways: hurting the young QB’s development and missing the 2020 playoffs by 1 game.

Not sold on Tua in any way, and in fact I believe Tua will just be a mediocre QB after all is said and done. Lot's of flash, hype, a few great plays, but no Super Bowl and no HOF career.
