Cam Cameron Fired

parcell is up to his usual routine of just bringing talent from where ever he was before... miami's new GM?   Ireland from Dallas (Think i have the name right)... any bets on how many of dallas' free agents and restricted free agents end up in miami?

You know this guy was such a JOKE when he coached down at IU. So many of these owners just have no idea how to hire competent people. What amazes me is that so many Dolphins fans over at www.phinsider.com defended this guy when they were 0-12!

Honestly, I don't think there's a coach in the league that could keep his job without pissing off the entire fanbase if he went 1-15. Not Dungy, not Belichick, not anyone. I mean seriously, it takes real effort and skill to be that bad.

So, where did Miami go wrong?

1. Too many old veterans, not enough young guys. Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas are great players, but they're old, and surrounded by older guys. Joey Porter doesn't help any either.
   
2. Too many starting QBs. Cameron couldn't pick one. Green is out with a concussion, which everyone knew he would get, probably before the Bye Week. They shuffled Culpepper off to Oakland. Lemon wasn't getting the job done. Neither was Beck. At some point, you have to pick one and go "If none of you are going to get the job done now, here's the one I think might get it done in the future."
   
3. Dismantling during the season. Yeah, because the Chris Chambers to San Diego trade didn't signal "Pack up for the season boys, we're mailing this one in." You could have at least waited until the offseason.
   
4. They have angered the football gods. Not sure how, but there is terrible karma from something (Daunte Culpepper? Trent Green? Dan Marino's Records' ghost? The decaying corpses of the '72 Dolphins?) that is destroying this team.
   
5. Trading Wes Welker to the Patriots. In the pantheon of "Unbelievably stupid football moves that, although inconsequential at the time, turn out to be utterly ginormous", this has to be in the top ten. The Dolphins traded Wes Welker, who had terrorized the Patriots for years, TO THE SAME PATRIOTS FOR PRACTICALLY NOTHING. So, let me get this straight. You're trading a player that a division rival hates to play against to the same division rival for comparative peanuts. Right. So, I've got this bridge I'd like to sell you...
   
6. Cam Cameron. If your coach can't cut it at IU, why in God's name would you even consider making him an NFL head coach? Why didn't Miami just start calling random IU alumni to ask about Cameron's coaching tenure? Were they afraid of answers like "Hell if I know. I was drunk. Every Saturday. From August to basketball season."?

It's like a comedy of errors down there. They should just scrap the season DVD and skip straight to the "2007 Dolphins Blooper/Season Highlight DVD." Watch Tom Brady throw to a double covered Randy Moss in the end zone as the Dolphins cornerbacks fall down! Watch the Dolphins slog through the mud at Pittsburgh to lose on a last second field goal, which are the only points scored in the whole game! Finally, watch the Dolphins beat the Ravens, the only team in the same galaxy of incompetence!

Let's hope Parcells can make something of that motley crew, because right now they're a joke.

The Dolphins single-handedly created the Pats orgy fest this year.  The Welker trade was assinine, as he was one of the few legitimate playmakers left on the offensive side of the ball - PLUS, it was to a DIVISIONAL RIVAL(Who had largely owned them of late).  How dumb is that?  No dumber than drafted a Return Man in the first round when you don't have a QB of the future and an aging defense.  Chris Chambers getting traded was indeed the white flag being thrown in.

With Brady Quinn throwing to Welker and Chambers with a decent running game in Ronnie Brown/Jesse Chatman would be enough to let the defense to rest enough to play somewhat effectively.  Also, the Pats wouldn't have that catch-and-run action with Welker, and probably would have lost 3+, even with Moss.
