I was listening to an interesting conversation on sports radio a couple days ago. About how John Mara should be looked at as a bottom of the league owner despite their family history as NFL royalty.
In the last 15 years though its been bad decision after bad decision

hes been as bad an owner during that span as anyone

from head coach hiring decisions, to getting rid of your best player so you can pay Daniel Jones $40 million a year

Jets Owner wanted to bench Rodgers after the Denver loss. Which is crazy because that game was played in a monsoon and nobody could throw well and the Jets lost on a missed FG after Rodgers got them in range to win the game late.

Eli Manning is a weird one. Not really a spectacular player during his time, but he has two SuperBowl wins over the Patriots. He has a lot of passing yards and touchdowns. It's really difficult to say he is HOF worthy and somehow difficult to say he is not.

2 Superbowl wins and MVP for both of them gets him in IMO. He wasn't just a game manager for those superbowls/playoff series.

This probably isnt true, right?

It's Miami. It's gonna be difficult for anybody to establish a responsible culture there that is capable of the dedication it takes to win SuperBowls. I think the coach is pretty dang good overall, he might like Miami a little too much. The QB has talent, but is a pat on the head away from not speaking properly ever again. The players love Miami and for good reason, just not football reasons.

Personally I'd consider that overly harsh, it depends on what "disastrous failure" means.

If the Dolphins get blown away in every game despite Tua being under center, then fair enough, I wouldn't be surprised - if Tua stays healthy I don't see that happening though.

If Tua gets concussed again, I would put the season's failure on the lack of an experienced backup to a QB who is known to be very fragile (Tua has only completed one full season since entering the league). That's more of a GM issue than a coaching issue IMO, and in that situation I'd like to see what McDaniel could do with a QB that he either drafted or specifically traded for, rather than the guy that was there when he took over.

The young brilliant mind revolutionizing how the league plays offense part of Mike Mc has worn off. I'm not sure how many players are going to respect him when the wins aren't rolling in.

They may need a Man's man to coach them, not some kid in skinny jeans.

I do think he is smart, NFL is a tough business.
