It will come, and sooner than later.

One thing Parcells did do for us is give us a solid foundation. We have the beef, we just needed the brains, and speed to compliment.

First and foremost, people need to realize it takes time, and we need to be patient. We may not get there this year. That is no reflection on our new head coach, oc, dc, or players. The new system will take time to manage and we will have that on 2 of the three phases.

Solid drafts and fixing the current cap problems will take time. Heavy contracts need to be re negotiated, things need to be worked out, and production amd ethic need to be evaluated. This takes time. We will have to be even more patient.

Our fans reflect our team as much as the people playing for it. I understand we are a passionate bunch, but all this we suck, he sucks etc only reflects on players decisions to play for us. At least for a contract that will allow us to surround him with also talented players.

Im not saying dont talk negative, im saying dont go overboard. Handle things with dignity and class, and we can bring respectability back to Miami.
