Flores fired

[captain stone]

Looks like the plantation owner and his minions are working hard to reset the narrative:

Guess the plantation owner doesn't want to eat Tua's salary.

This is nfl.com's way of helping Ross reset the narrative, converting a negative (we don't want Watson) into a positive (we do want Tua).

Yep, and I'm not buying the spin that Ross didn't want Watson either.

Ross wanted Watson, the same way Ross wanted Tua. The same way, before wanting Tua, Ross wanted Joe Burrow.

Flores, if anything, wanted it to be over. The constant hovering of Watson created an unnecessary distraction for the team and for Tua, who did not react well to the constant talk of Watson possibly appearing out of nowhere and seizing the starting job. (It’s no coincidence that the Dolphins rattled off seven straight wins after the deadline came and went to make a 2021 trade.)

Now that Flores is gone, the Dolphins are trying to pin the past dysfunction on him. It’s not fair, and it’s not accurate. The fish stinks from the head down, and in Miami the guy who calls the shots (without expressly calling the shots) is Ross.

Ross wanted Burrow, but Ross didn’t get him. Ross wanted Tua, and no one tried or succeeded in getting Ross to pivot to Justin Herbert. Ross wanted Watson.

Yep, Ross' favorite QB is the next one while he's telling us it's the current one...
