Bill Parcells lost it, huh?
Really?
Cause I think the Dolphins just landed a STUD. STUD wide receiver, and the cost is just a second round pick.
I remember the not-so-long-ago days when the Dolphins would give up second round picks for crappy backup quarterbacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I know Marshall comes with baggage. 10 touchdowns last year and a 21 catch game.
That must keep Chad Henne up at night.
---------------------------------------------------------------
This guy is one of the best playmakers in the league. He's the type of guy who will give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares. He makes Ricky better, he makes Ronnie better, He makes Henne better, He makes the Dolfan Bandits better, He makes the Miami Dolphin cheerleaders better, Big Papa Pump just got better.
If there were ONE guy out there that I'd want the Dolphins to get, it would have been Marshall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Knucklehead factor. Sure, it's there. He's been suspended before. He didn't like Josh McDaniel (I don't blame him, that guy is a dip).
I can live with that.
Here's why.
You have to believe in your organization.
You have to believe that no matter WHAT issues someone has had in the past, you have enough leaders, you have enough positive people, to help that guy turn his life around.
Look at what the Patriots did to Randy Moss.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just yesterday, I had a friend (whose name rhymes with Diss Bank) tell me he was upset with Parcells. I've read blogs saying the old man's lost it.
Really?
Why?
Because he didn't telegraph this move? Because he didn't hold a press conference to say what he was going to do?
The Jets went FIRST this offseason, they acquired Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes. The Fins got Karlos Dansby and Brandon Marshall. Advantage: Fins.
It's like they taugh me in my public policy class, there are advantages to going first in a negotiation. But there's also an advantage to waiting and getting better information.
He who moves first, doesn't necessarily get the best result.
Leadership isn't about talking about what great things you'll do, it's about doing them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This proves lesson number 1,000 why sports-talk hosts and reporters are always behind the 8-ball in this town. Who told me the Fins were going to legitimately be able to make this happen? The only place I read it is espn.com, when it's a done deal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Miami Dolphins are a whole lot better this morning. Bill Parcells is a whole lot smarter than some people were giving him credit for.
Bravo tuna, Bravo!

ReplyDeleteDarryl,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. The power of the internet is truly remarkable. I can fire off random blogs from Florida, and I can find interest in New Jersey.
I don't mind at all that you would use my blogs as a reference to help young writers. Although to be quite honest, I'm not sure what you'd use from it. (i'd be curious to know which entries you focused on and exactly what they could teach).
This blog is a new venture for me. I don't start out with goals that are too broad. But one of them is to continue to sharpen and improve my own writing. So any and all feedback is quite welcome.
To hear that highly respected people read my work is awesome, that they liked it is even better.
So thanks again for the encouragement and more importantly, thank you for reading. Without readers, there's really no point to this thing.
Go Giants,
David
