This is not all the fault of Ricky Williams. Miami needs a QB in the worst way.

As a Chicagoan, we got our fill of Wanny's World. Miamians should thank their lucky stars.

Miami needs a QB in the worst way. So do about 20 other NFL teams.

Maybe they can hire Steve Spurrier so they can actually go winless next season.

So do about 20 other NFL teams. Amen. The truth is, you can hardly ever tell who is going to be a good QB anymore. Over the past few years, Kerry Collins, Brad Johnson, and Trent Dilfer have led teams to Super Bowls (Dilfer's and Johnson's teams even won), and titles have been won by "who-the-heck-are-these-guys?" QBs Kurt Warner and Tom Brady, whom no one had even heard of before Trent Green and Drew Bledsoe got hurt.

Nah, if they want to do that they need to hire Ron Zook!

Ricky's retirement is moot, he failed his third substance abuse test which would have suspended him for a full year anyway.
The way I see it, he retired several days before the test results were announced, so he gave them a couple of extra days to find a replacement. Plus now he has to pay back all that money.

I still say it's all about the offensive line, and defense. Give me a good offensive line and I'll get you to the Super Bowl, regardless of who is behind the center.
While Roethlisberger is doing a fine job in the Steel City, the reason why the Steelers are the best team in the NFL (at least this week) is that they have a great offensive line, and a good defense.

Miami needs a QB in the worst way. Any chance you guys might take Aaron Brooks off the Saints' hands? I think we've got just the coach for you too...:-)

This is not all the fault of Ricky Williams. Miami needs a QB in the worst way. I disagree. You can just look around the league and see several examples of mediocre quarterbacks performing like stars -- look at Brees and Plummer in the AFC for object lessons on this score -- the one thing they all have in common is that they have an excellent running game. The counter-example is Brunell, as the Redskins have a solid running game, but he still sucks.

Maybe they can hire Steve Spurrier so they can actually go winless next season. Perhaps he can start off by bringing back Danny Weurffel again, the guy he loves and everyone else in the world laughs at.

Also there is a thin line between being a Super Bowl team and an also-ran (can you say 'Carolina Panthers'?). Sure some teams may have better players from 1 to 22, and when they're healthy, they are on top. But lose one or two key players and you can quickly fall to the bottom half of the league. Over a long NFL season, it's the teams with the better 23 to 45 that prevail. It's all about depth.

Don't you dare take the sacred name of Danny Wuerffel in vain.

It's hard to give up many points when your defense is only spending 20 minutes a game on the field.
To: Argh
I hear that Mr. Bates is a defensive Master....
