We all know your stance on character players (surprised you didn't clamor for Tebow, but w/e). I, for one, am tired of losing. I will gladly take players who need a tighter leash and a winning record for ten years than the crap product they have put on the field for what seems like a decade. I know that even if Blackmon makes the Pro Bowl, wins the MVP of that game, and solidly shows he's a better player than Tannehill, you will never change your opinion of the guy. That's fine, but I disagree. If I want a role model or a person to be a great "character guy," there are plenty of NFL players. They don't have to be Dolphins. Likewise, if I want a shot at a winning season, I want the most talented player available. Tannehill was not the most talented QB, so that a bad pick IMO, and I said that going into the draft. There were a host of other position in greater need of upgrade and there were better QBs coming out next year. -EK

So any QB drafted not named Andrew Luck was a bad pick last year? WOW, I guess Washington with RGIII, Miami with Tannehill, Cleveland with Weeden, and Seattle with Wilson all made bad picks. Interesting stance you took there.

And actualy every Drank expert guy/hired scouts for networks said Tannehill graded out in last years draft higher than any QB who will come out next year (unless something changes drasticly this year). And higher than guys like Flacco and Freeman who came out recently. So, disagree that there are "better" QB's coming out next year. The experts disagree too.

My opinion on problem player is obviously is the same as Philbin.  He is the one who has shipped out Headbutt Ochocinco and Domestic Violence Brandon Marshall. Not me. Philbin's stance on problem players is the same as Belichick's and he wins a lot. It's the same stance as a lot of coaches hold and lots of those coaches win.
