Once the team starts struggling the overbearing mother part of Joe Philbin will go away or become very annoying. <br /><br />If the Dolphins start winning, it's because of Philbin's new way of showing he cares about the players. Once they start losing, he needs to back off.

I mean obviously something had to be done to fix how toxic things had become after the Jonathan Martin situation but the coach constantly coming in asking me if I'm ok would wear on me rather quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-56312711566619727882014-08-06T08:54:11.908-04:002014-08-06T08:54:11.908-04:00Anon, Dan does take great pride in being a troll, ...Anon, Dan does take great pride in being a troll, that's for sure. <br /><br />I don't know if Jerome Bettis is a HoF'er for not, but I personally believe the fact he had a good relationship with the media is going to help his case. I also think that's what leads Peter to say something like that. For me personally, in terms of football player I would put Pace in well before Bettis. I do think Bettis will get in because he's nice and he played on a largely successful team for most of his career. <br /><br />Gregg Easterbrook would hate that the best three LT of the last 20 years were all Top 10 picks. <br /><br />See, that's sort of what I was getting at with my comment about Peter reconsidering his position. I don't know. It's hard, but Hester did touch the ball less than Tim Brown. How does a HoF voter even compare those two players? I think when the comparison is done, a receiver such as Tim Brown gets in before Devin Hester. Of course, Hester still has time in his career left, so we will see what he does with the rest of his career. <br /><br />It's hard for me to say Devin Hester is a HoF'er and then have a guy like Tim Brown or one of the other great WR who are eligible 7-8 years from now not get into the HoF. I think Peter is more confident now then he will be when the time comes to vote for Hester as a HoF'er.

What lack of awareness Peter has. Shaughnessy is a troll of the highest order, and I'm sure if he'd be offended if I didn't say so.<br /><br />It really bugs me that he says, "Orlando Pace over Jerome Bettis...barely." I don't mean to put too fine a point on it, but Orlando Pace was a thousand times the football player that Jerome Bettis was. Orlando Pace was so very, very good and Jerome Bettis so very, very overrated. To me, Pace, Walter Jones and Jon Ogden were 1a-1b-1c as the best left tackles of the past twenty years. Slam dunk, no doubt about it Hall of Famers all three of them in my opinion. To Peter? He's just barely above some lumbering fatass who made for good copy but had his belt line soar while his yards per carry crumbled.<br /><br />I also want someone to make the case that Devin Hester has a better Hall of Fame case than someone like Tim Brown. Are you telling me a kick and punt returner is more valuable than a top-flight everydown receiver? Give me a flipping break. I have a real problem putting in specialists ahead of everydown players. Devin Hester may very well be the greatest returner of all time, but he only affected the game 5 or 6 times. Tim Brown played every down on offense, and caught over 1,000 balls doing so. Charles Haley and Kevin Greene were infinitely more valuable in their ability to rush the passer. Let's pump the brakes on Devin Hester as a Hall of Famer. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
