Jason Taylor to re-sign with the Dolphins

There are definitely more positives than negatives when it comes to free agency, but the focus is always more intense on the negative moves.

And it seems like when we make positive moves it's like we stumbled upon it or the move was so obvious anyone could have made it...but a move that backfires on us is never about bad luck, it's always poor management and planning.

Well that's interesting. We still need a QB but it's still interesting. Brian O. is the real deal I think.

You mean the Redskins? How?

How many times have we heard the good moves written off as no-brainers?

:doh:

if Taylor had 10+ sacks last year, would any of you guys sing the praises of a job well done by Cerrato? i kind of doubt it. we needed a defensive end, and they brought in the best player available( at least in their eyes)

Don't bother, he's anti-JC all the way

I am tired of the FA bashing...

Look around the league. Percentage-wise we are as good as anybody at hitting on these guys. Gross gain we are the best in the league by a wide margin because of our overall volume. Complain about our trading of draft picks. At least that holds water.

So none of our FA's have been smart moves?

How about Fletcher for starters?

I was in a pissy mood last night. The Jason Taylor thing annoyed me, the Caps ruined my night, and I was tired from a really long day.

You and SS are right. More positives than negatives in FA for sure. Some of the negatives are just really, really awful. That's all I was thinking of I guess.

I've been bitching about that for a long time.

I'm sure we'll be talking about this in 2019...the move backfired on us, it sucks, you move on.

Hopefully we will have the same success with the return of Dockery that many are predicting the Dolphins will have with Taylor

that's a really good point.

So 10+ sacks alone would not have justified the trade, it would have also been graded on how well he played the run, and whether or not he would have been a factor in 2010.

Orakpo has 10+ sack potential, but if he posts sack totals of: 2, 10, 3, 4, 4 in his first five seasons, most of us will be thinking bust. I'm not predicting that, I'm just saying.

What I'm saying is: it's really hard for Cerrato to win a trade where he sells, out of desperation, a first day pick for a 34 year old smallish end who was a bad scheme fit. If he plays great for two seasons, and everyone agrees that he was great, you can sweep the cost under the rug. If he disappoints expectations at all, the cost hurts.
