    Even the Dolphin's players can't believe they picked Ginn over Quinn

    From SI's Michael Silver:

    "You notice the commissioner kind of paused before he read the name," Taylor says. "Like even he couldn't believe it."

    There's even more. Pretty funny stuff. I don't recall ever reading NFL players criticize their own team's draft picks like that. Welcome to the team, Ted.

    There is a ringing endorsement for the new regime.

    This is funny stuff:

      You forget to mention guys like Chambers who were pushing the Ginn pick long before the draft

        It wasn't in the article. These aren't my words, you should take your beef to Vonnie Holliday and Jason Taylor.

          I don't have a beef at all. Just pointing out the other side as well for fair reporting purposes

            This might have been news 2 months ago CNN, but it's an old story now. This is like Abu Ghraib, Paris Hilton or something- I no longer care. Move on. Brady Quinn did. Ted Ginn, Jr. did. Miami fans did.

              Regardless..

              That's pretty crappy of team "leaders" and vets to openly question a draft pick like that.

              That's far worse than anything Eric Moulds ever did.

                  Both of our teams had plans for the last 5 years or so too. The plans sucked, but they had plans.

                          Like I said, there is a ringing endorsment.

                          He is basically saying, "I can't figure out what they hell they are doing, but they must have something in mind."

                            With the way things are going, our head-to-head matchup is going to determine that.

                              Just perhaps.....the coaching staff and GM don't share every day operations stuff with the entire team and ask their opinion. I am sure the Fins FO is not the only one to do business this way
