The moment cam Newton was cut, I really thought the Dolphins should have pounced on him. He was available for next to nothing, and is an infinitely better athlete than the lumbering Jacoby Brissett.
I think Ross’s infatuation with DeShaun Watson might have interfered with common sense, but why not upgrade when we had the chance? Would Newton have accepted a backup role in Miami? That’s irrelevant. You just tell him that he won’t start in Week One because he doesn’t know the playbook yet, and then take it from there. Let a “starter” controversy arise if need be. It’s certainly better than a controversy like “which of of our TWO offensive coordinators is worse than the other.”
I’m glad we stayed away from Odell Beckham, because honestly, if Waddle and Gesicki can’t get us past 30 points per game this year, would YET ANOTHER receive make a difference? Our linemen are atrocious, and OBJ ain’t helping that !
