zealous fans of to otavalo and we've already
established this no excuses for Tua in 2022,
offensive line better receivers better running backs. Better
defense. Very good last year. Same defensive coordinator. And
Josh Boyer
Mike McDaniel a very fascinating young coach for as
dysfunctional as the Dolphins. Got after firing Brian Flores.
They really did.
Find their way out of the weeds and they to me are one of
the most fascinating teams in an incredibly difficult
conference. I still think they're a team to watch and
a team that could make it to the playoffs Shireen.
Yeah, and it is interesting, Mike when players start talking
about a new coach in the energy he brings and how excited they
are. Buy a new coach. They haven't lost a game yet. They
haven't had disputes about playing time. They haven't had
injuries. It's easy to talk about a new
coach and be happy about the New coach. But
I understand why they're excited about Mike McDaniel. He
does seem like an exciting coach who's going to kind of
bring maybe a different energy as zaevion Howard said today,
who, by the way has become the longest tenured guy on that
team now at six years, 28 years old, so got the contract done.
So he, of course, is happy and happy with the direction that
the team is going.
We'll see if it's all going to come down to two and how he
plays if he plays. Well, this team has a chance to do special
things if he doesn't Dolphins are going to have another
quarterback. Next season, perhaps Tom. Brady is you've
alluded to
and the Tom Brady thing. Let me just say this. I haven't,
I haven't pressed pause and mentioned this recently. That
was real
that was happening. He had not retired yet.
When did he actually
retire? He retired? Yeah. What was it?
Feb 18. Yeah. It was the day. Brian floors filed. His
lawsuit. That was it got overshadowed very quickly. By
Brian Flores filing his lawsuit.
He was going to be,
I'm told by multiple sources
introduced as a minority owner of the Dolphins, Super Bowl week.
That was the plan
at the time he retired.
And then
a coach was going to be hired Mary. Hmm. A coach who have
who had recently stepped away from the New Orleans Saints and
then at some point in the spring, Tom Brady was going to
unretire and play for the team that he now owns a piece of after
working a deal with the Buccaneers to get his rights
from Tampa Bay to Florida, but the first step was going to be
Tom. Brady,
becoming a minority owner of the Dolphins and the Dolphins
admitted privately. When we reported. That the Dolphins
were exploring a Sean Payton and Tom Brady package deal
a few weeks back that they did consider
selling a minority interest in the team to Tom Brady. It was
more than that. It was locked and loaded, it was happening
the Flores lawsuit, pulled the plug on the whole thing. And
Next year,
let's see what happens because next year, no contract for Tom,
Brady and Tampa, no franchise tag. No transition tag, he goes
wherever he wants. He can go straight to Miami in 2023.
And if this Mike McDaniel deal
ends up being good for them and this new energy and he's
an offensive genius. May be exactly what Brady's looking
for Shireen.
Well, it sure my mic, and which is why that to us out of
excuses to share. This is this year. This is probably his last
year in Miami. To prove that that he's the guy that they
thought they were getting, when they use the fifth overall pick
to get him.
So he's it's put up or shut up time.
He can go out and play and lead them to the playoffs and they
commit to him. As their franchise quarterback. He'll
become eligible for a contract extension after the season,
or they go a different direction. So it all depends on
how he plays this season, Mike as to, what direction, the team
goes after this year.
So to, and on, I ask you, wouldn't you rather be Tommy
non?
Wouldn't you rather upgrade?
Why do you resist? Why do fans have teams
resist? Like Steelers fans don't want Baker. Mayfield
folks. You got Mitchell true. Biscay.
Like they have this very
circle the wagons and don't disrupt our
effort to try to convince ourselves that the guys we
currently have or good enough, don't even mention
the possibility of getting better players. We're too busy trying
to convince ourselves. The guys. We have our good enough.
It's bizarre. You should always be thinking and looking and
hoping
Being that your team is going to find better players
than the players that you already
have. I'm astounded by that attitude. Do you sense the same
thing? It's just odd. It's this weird denial, like, we're good
enough with these
subpar players. We have.
Don't talk about possibly upgrading
one Baker stunned more. I think than Mitchell. True. Biscay has
Mitchell, true Biscay did go to a pro bowl. I get it. He did go
to the playoffs. I get it, but I would want more choices at
quarterback. At the most choices, I could possibly get
at quarterback to hopefully hit on one of those guys Mike. And
to me, it would
be really a low-risk roll of the dice and
I guarantee you Baker Mayfield would want to play for
the Steelers and want to play really, really well for
the Steelers because he would get to play the Cleveland Browns
twice a year every year. Would that just be glorious for him?
If he went to the Steelers and became the franchise
quarterback? That they thought they were getting when they
drafted him. Number one overall. He becomes that guy in
Pittsburgh that Would be the ultimate stab in the back to
the Cleveland Browns.
