Mr. Ross, A Lonely Dolphins Nation Turns its Eyes to You

We don’t need to see the owner do weekly radio spots like Jerry Jones, but we do need him to say something. Say anything!

They want to hear Mr. Ross express his own frustration in his own words.

And this is not the time to stay silent as the owner of the Dolphins.

The longer Mr. Ross stays silent, the more toxic this situation with the Dolphins will get.

More reports will emerge based on speculation about what will happen and when, from third-party sources.

He can put an end to all of that by simply talking to the press or releasing a statement — anything would be better than nothing!

McDaniel gives us a word salad at each press conference.

Tua puts his foot in his mouth in one way, shape, or form at press conferences these days. When he isn’t insulting the Dolphins fans, he is throwing his teammates under the bus.

Chris Grier is hiding behind a post somewhere in the building.

We need you, Mr. Ross. A lonely Dolphins nation turns its eyes to you.

I’m not even talking about firing anyone if you want to keep Grier and McDaniel in place until after Week 18, fine.

It honestly doesn’t matter; you could argue they created this mess, so let them sit through it and suffer all season with what they built.

I wouldn’t take that approach, but fine.

What you can’t do, Mr. Ross, is stay silent.

By saying nothing, you are sending a message to your fans that you don’t care as much as they do.

It sends the message that you, the owner, got your money from the fans for this disaster of a football team.

This is the product; enjoy it or not. However, please note that season ticket renewal forms will be sent soon, and you will need to send me your money again for next year.

Whether that is true or not, that is the perception, and perception is reality.

Joe Rose on WQAM Monday morning said Ross should talk to the fans and apologize to them for the product on the field.

Yes, he should.

But even if he doesn’t want to apologize, a simple statement saying the product on the field isn’t what was expected or up to his standard and will not be tolerated would go a long way.

Short, sweet, to the point, and it may buy him a little bit of goodwill with the fanbase.

While we hear daily now about the leadership in the Dolphins locker room (or lack thereof), Dolphins fans would like some leadership shown as well from their owner.

They want to hear that he has their back.

The fans are on your side, Mr. Ross; if you succeed, then they succeed.

Don’t be afraid of your fan base, Mr. Ross.

Grieve together and let them know we are in this together, and that you will fix this and get it right.

Sometimes, a few words and a simple “I’m sorry” go a long way.
