Chris Grier Gives Miami Dolphins An Uninspiring Outlook | Blames Tenure Trouble On Injuries

[@zacharyharkness8780]

He Should’ve made them play harder & win us a SB with Dan

[@J420-x6p]

[@trollwayy5981]

He also said they knew the backup qb situation was bleak and coupdnt figure put a way to get the backups they needed

[@Ballaholic17]

Well, his reasoning was because they're getting old, not because they're not good enough. Lol. He can say all the right things, but until he starts to produce results, his words are meaningless. He's lost all credibility to our fans.

[@theballpythonproject6598]

The fact that hes still a gm and doesnt understand that the oline is the most important group on the field, in 2025, should be a fireable offense lol Does he even know football? I know Ross doesnt.

[@Teampierrellc]

@@theballpythonproject6598most GMs don’t understand that concept. The offensive and defensive lines are the most important part of the team. With a great O-line you don’t need a $50M QB.

@@Ballaholic17they won 11 games last year. You didn’t predict anything btw, you picked dolphins going 7-10 with Tua healthy all season, this is the first time Miami finished under .500 in 5 years and that was because Tua missed a third of the season. Yes Chris Grier is a bumbling idiot and they suck in the trenches every damn year but you like to place the bulk of the blame on Tua when he’s the only player that makes Miami a respectable opponent

[@Ballaholic17]

@gregtrust5599 I actually did predict 7-10. I don't remember saying with Tua healthy, but it doesn't it really matter why. It's always if this or if that at the end of every season. The Dolphins haven't won 10+ games in back to back years since 2000-2001, and after the way last year ended. I knew they wouldn't this year. I don't blame Tua. He's a limited, slightly above average qb. It's not his fault Grier paid him and can't properly build a roster or draft. McDaniel doesn't bring add anything to the team as the head coach, either, so there's plenty of blame to go around other than Tua. Tua is the highest paid Dolphins player in team history, and qbs are polarizing figures. If you thought he wouldn't get criticized or blamed by the fans and media, then you must not pay attention to pro sports. Fair or unfair, that's life as an NFL QB.

[@peelslowly28]

[@TheManiac220]

I expect a horrible season leading to firings followed by a three year rebuild. Man doesnt that sound familiar.

[@SMBoivin]

A team shouldn't become THAT BAD when the QB isn't available. I mean, without Tua, this team's record over the last 3 years is ABYSMAL! Tua is injury prone and it sucks, but there should be a TEAM around him that can fill in and win some games while the QB is hurt. Skylar?! That's who we rode in with? A TERRIBLE offensive line that can't get the run game going 80% of the time? (That's why you see so many stupid screen passes, 0 interior push on the line). If this TEAM was better, they would've EASILY gutted out a couple extra wins in there somewhere. Whether it's the Arizone, Buffalo, Tennessee, Houston, Indy, or the Jets game.

[@maribelruiz5772]

I agree!! Really blame Tua!! Unbelievable

[@theballpythonproject6598]

[@mikeyroy66]

It will be interesting to see what happens this offseason. I think Banks or Starks at 13. Havent watched enough film on the other OL prospects, but sounds like theres good value in the middle rounds this year. Hopefully we stock up. I want Gunner Helm or one of the TCU wrs as well.

[@joseortiz-ls6ru]

With the amount of assets as far as picks they had plus money and Grier still can’t pull a team to win a playoff is crazy to me. Look at the teams like the Texans and lions that were bad a couple years back and managed to get better within the same amount of time this rebuild started. Look where we’re at. The titans managed to go on a playoff run with Tanehill. Like that’s enough for me to question that whole front office

[@garylangdon22]

Tobin, I'm finished with the Miami dolphins. I like you Tobin but I'm done looking at the Miami dolphins and I followed them since 72.

[@jordanmurray1301]

What was unacceptable was not having a viable backup for Tua

[@carlhenry3201]

This tells me that from the owner down to the players already know this team isn’t Championship caliber and next year will be a waste. MMD will be fired within the first 5 weeks. Grier will follow soon after. There isn’t any leadership on any level in this organization. Everyone is finally showing their true feelings about Tua. As I predicted Grier and MMD would be back ‘25 but we will win 5 to 7 games. We will blow it up and tank ‘26 and draft either Lagway, Riola or Manning (if he plays four years like his uncles) in the ‘27 draft.

[@Himmmmmmm-b2b]

Hes actually right for the first time Tua is to blame for everything , the same way Tua makes a difference when he plays is the same way he makes a difference when he can’t be on the field

[@Ballaholic17]

Yes, Tua makes a difference when he plays, but the difference isn't enough to make this team a contender. If Tua plays the full season, maybe we get to 10 wins, but they're still a wild card team at best that loses on the road in the 1st rd. Tua is 0-1 in the playoffs his first 5 years. We can say IF Tua played, but his availability has been a big problem.

Tobin cut it out man you hate Liam Eikenberg.

A lot of the games that we should’ve won should’ve been if our starting quarterback was in rhythm and healthy throughout the season which would’ve put us in better game plans. Come on man stop it dude stop with the back-and-forth You don’t like Chris Greer you don’t like Liam and so you’re gonna basically put a shield over whether tua is part to blaming this. Yes he has a lot to blame in this and yes, Tyreek Hill has also a lot to blame in this lotta drops. I’ve seen lower level receivers in the league make more catches and be more explosive than Tyreek has been this year so cut it out now.

[@uanto]

In my country Grier is called "Descarao", cara de guante, vivir del cuento, etc. He is not a GM, he is a politician, and a good one. Tua is the other one: He had gradually made the transition from a too nice guy to a clown. And to complete the three stooges we have McDaniel: I can't stand anymore he babbling at the press conference, his horrible play calling and now, obviously, the players don't respect him.

[@manmann55]

Again... You have a head coach that allowed players to disrespect him, didn't care about being fined multiple times and thinks he can turn that around by being "firmer", and a GM that was deflecting blame and wants to address things now after failing to address it multiple times. You picked up a reckless QB that's known for playing hero ball (that's how he got hurt in college), and want to blame him for being a reckless QB. This presser made me rage so much that I have 0 expectations for this team next year.

[@mattjohnson7316]

He is a mediocre game manager QB that misses wide open receivers every game. Harbaugh saved his career, Tua has kept McClown and Grier still in business. Tua is way better than Herbert, always has been since college. Justin is 2 games above .500 in his career, he will never be a Super Bowl contender, he’ll beat the Texans in round one only because Harbuagh’s defense will shut down stroud.
