Parker could be out week 1?

http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article99849292.html

Parker is dealing with yet another hamstring injury, and the Miami Herald has learned that there are real questions about when he will return.

The Dolphins open the season next Sunday in Seattle, and there’s a chance Parker won’t be in the lineup when they do.

If Parker does miss the game, it's going to be really easy for the Seahawks to blanket Landry and dare Tannehill to find someone else to throw to.  We need Stills and Cameron to step up week one, because without Parker this offense becomes very one-dimensional - again.

I hear Stills might be out also

Parker and the word bust are starting to creep together in my mind.

NO MORE INJURED DRAFT PICKS.

That why they picked up Hunter. I was actually hoping for this guy to come on the market

I don't like anything about Hunter other than his height, but he does have the size the Phins need.

Yeah, it's kind of starting to feel that way, isn't it?

Like Gase said he needs to play through the pain or he will have a short NFL career. I did hear something about other owner concerned with his toughness during his draft last year.

Yep, the Phins continue to draft soft players and it continues to bite them in the ass. That's where sports science fails...you can look at all the numbers and stats you want, but the reality is some players are football players and some aren't. I don't care how much talent you have, if you don't have the heart and drive to be the best you can, you are pretty much worthless in the NFL.

He was injured when they drafted him.

They need to stop that shit.

Also, though, it was a foot injury when they drafted him, which is a huge, HUGE gamble on a guy that relies on cuts and speed for his position.  He doesn't take his body seriously, eats like shit, doesn't keep in proper shape, is immature, and fragile.  Yeah, sounds like they need to start getting his bust ready for the Hall of Fame.

Mandich says, "You need ability AND durability to play in this league."

An immature fruit bat with a gimpy history is a terrible pick.  

I'd love for him to grow up and prove everyone wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him play less than 20 games in his career.

Maybe, just maybe, if Parker turns out the way we all think we will (an injury-prone bust) it'll finally be the catalyst for the entire scouting staff being fired, which should've been done at least 10 years ago.

And maybe I'll become ruler of the planet one day too

This should be on a sign in huge letters in the Dolphins draft war room every year as a reminder.

I loved the fruit bat part Degarmo was bringin' it in the wee hours today
