You're basically trying to blame the dolphins poor season on this one trade, and that's far from the truth. Sure it cost us one pretty decent player, but him being on our roster right now isn't the difference between 1-13 and making the playoffs.
FWIW I think most football people would agree that you could take just about any team's 3rd WR and put him on the Patriots and he would put up the same type of numbers Welker is this year.  |
I was actually speaking as to what those announcers were saying, not anything I was saying. I know full well that most of the time these things take time to produce any real results.
But by the same token I'm sure that the Dolphins didn't have an 0-13 start to the season planned. I'm sure they hoped for the best for THIS year in spite of what you'd have everyone believe. Yes, shit takes time, but no one in that organization was thinking "'
yeah, it's okay if we lose every game this year because those trades we made last year should pay off by NEXT year."
