NFL Rumors: Jeff Fisher Should Spurn Dolphins to Coach Promising Rams

Somebody inside the St. Louis Rams organization would have to insult Jeff Fisher’s mother for him not to sign there now.  Despite the Miami Dolphins' hard push for the former Tennessee Titans head coach, Fisher looks deadset on joining the Rams.  And after all, comparing the circumstances the two franchises are in, he should choose the Midwest over South Beach.

Jay Glazer tweeted this dagger into the hearts of Dolphins fans today:

Fisher made the right decision. 

Sure, it would’ve been nice to live in Miami and have your nickname, Fish, match your team’s nickname, Dolphins. Yeah, I know they’re technically mammals, but still, that’s awesome.  Going to a team that already possesses a franchise quarterback along with the second-overall pick, though, beats living on a beach and the whole Fish-Dolphins thing.

Bradford is a QB that nearly led his team to the playoffs as a rookie with absolutely no talent at wide receiver.  Replace the revolving door in front of him with something more resistant and he’ll be fine.  With that second-overall pick, St. Louis can select one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the last decade in Matt Kalil.

Miami has the ninth overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft.  They aren’t winning any playoff games with Matt Moore under center.  With Matt Barkley and Landry Jones headed back to school, in order for the Dolphins to find a quarterback, they’d either have to trade up for Robert Griffin III or roll the dice on Ryan Tannehill; that isn’t exactly an attractive situation.

On top of that, Miami is stuck in the same division with the New England Patriots.  Fisher knows all too well the difficulties of being forced to face off against an elite quarterback at least two times a year.  Who knows how many division titles the Titans would’ve won if it weren’t for Peyton Manning.

Instead of being forced to game plan for Tom Brady, he gets the luxury of playing against Alex Smith, Kevin Kolb and Tarvaris Jackson—or whoever ends up being the Seattle Seahawks quarterback.  This decision really was a no-brainer.
