Also, while Marshall is talented, T.O. might have been worth the headache, but T.O. was a proven top-3 NFL receiver for years. Marshall is a rising star but hasn't proven he will consistently put up huge production. His off-field issues are disturbing.
Anyway, if I were Miami I would look to the draft.
See, man, we did that and we got Brian Hartline (who has played okay) and Patrick Turner (who hasn't seen the field yet.) I just want to be able to go into games knowing we have a guy that is going to catch it 7 times for 100 yards and a score. And to have confidence that our guys will make that big 3rd and 7. We don't have that right now (Davone Bess makes some plays, but not enough.)
We're deep at WR but it's not a good kind of depth. It's medicore depth.
Davone Bess = Good slot guy
Ted Ginn = Return man, below average WR
Greg Camarillo = Average
Brian Hartline = Too young to tell
But I think you put a guy like Marshal in there and all of a sudden Camarillo and Bess see their value sky rocket somewhat.

I won't be debating with posts that attack like this nor will I deal with someone that just wants to get into a **** talking war. No offense.

Not * talking war here. Just calling it like it is man. You said if you had Marshall, you would win the division, I found that a little goofy. No offense intended. I just disagree with you and I don't hide it....Try on some thicker skin.

Well I've been in ****ting matches here before and it doesn't do anybody any good so I'd just rather not.
As for the topic, I've seen us drop 2 touchdows against the Colts (one with 30 seconds left that would've been the game winner) and then a drop against the SAints that resulted in a pick 6. We also had abut 5 drops in that game and a lost fumble from a wide out.
So if we had Brandon Marshal, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that we'd be 7-3. The same way the Bengals would probably be 8-2 right now if Cedric Benson hadn't missed today. It's the same concept. Or how you guys would've been 12-4 at worst with Brady last year.

Right cause if you had Marshall, everything else would have happened the same, and you would have gotten to those situations exactly the same, and everything would be the same except those dropped TD passes would have been to him and he would have caught them right? Give me a break, man. You know better than that. Your offense would be completely different and the game plans would be completely different, so you don't know really. It's juts stupid to say that you would NO DOUBT be 7-3 if Marshall was a Dolphin..
I can't believe I'm even debating this with someone. You won't find anyone that's not a Dolphin fan that will agree with you.
If the Patriots had Rashard Mendenhall, we would be undefeated. haha, (sarcasm)

At what point did the Patriots have a chance to acquire Mendenhal? Marshal and Boldin were both available this off-season and we should've pounced. I don't see why it's so ridiculous to think that if our team was better, we'd have a better record.
It's like saying, "You know damn well if the Patriots would've had Welker in that in that first Jets game, there would've been no difference."
Re: OT: Brandon Marshall involved in another scuffle
Edwards will be available as a FA after his last couple excerable games as a JET.
Other possibilities include trading Miami's #1 pick for Julian Edelperson, a larger younger Wes Welker and much better than the touted Ginn Family wasted Top 10 pick. But as a fan I'd hate to see Edes traded.
Where can I get a picture of a homeless bum to post as MY sig?

Re: OT: Brandon Marshall involved in another scuffle
My only thing would be that the dolphins need a QB before they can start going after these "stud" wr's......henne is decent but not the answer....They have a solid running game so if they had a QB I would say they would be near the top of the division but without a proven QB or one with a lot of promise they are right about where I thought they would be .500
Re: OT: Brandon Marshall involved in another scuffle
Dolphins should trade for Boldin and find a draft pick that can be a deep threat. Ginn could be that person, but the guy needs to catch the ball.
Someone to stretch the field that teams have to cover and someone who can exploit the underneath coverage. You can take a chance on Braylon or try to trade for Marshall, but I'd rather trade for a gamer like Boldin and then take a speedy wideout in the draft.
Steelers have been great at finding speedy wideouts of late. First it was Santonio Holmes and now they've got Mike Wallace. It's giving Hines Ward a lot of space underneath.

Any reason Henne is not the answer or just a gut feeling?
