Hey Karlos Dansby and Reggie Bush, Shut Up and Trust Dolphins' Management

Karlos Dansby's job is to tackle the ball-carrier and sack the quarterback. Reggie Bush's job is to gain positive yardage with the ball in his hands. 

Obviously, neither player has any say in the way the team is managed from a personnel standpoint, so they should refrain from making any public judgements of the Dolphins' management.

Via the Miami Herald, Dansby, who openly criticized the release of Chad Johnson, had this to say regarding the trade of cornerback Vontae Davis: 

"

I’ll leave that up to you all. I don’t know what the situation was or what occurred to cause the trade. He’s a great player, one of the best corners in the game. I’m not sure about the direction of the team. That’s not my place. My place is to play hard and be the leader of men.

"

The penultimate sentence in that quote is the most troublesome. But Dansby wasn't the only one.

In the same article, Bush said "It’s tough, obviously. It’s tough," when asked about the trade before a team publicist ordered the interview to end.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and the point isn't that their personal views should be revoked when it comes to any team or front office decision—Bush and Dansby certainly aren't the first players to be ticked with a release or trade. 

The point is nothing good comes of publicly voicing disconcerting sentiments about your club's decision-makers, so why do it.

Questioning a front office move only lends credence to the critics out there who believe your general manager doesn't know what he's doing. 

In the Dolphins' case, whether you believe what Jeff Ireland's doing with the Dolphins is downright idiotic or quietly brilliant, there's no way he's attempting to make his team worse. He understands his job depends on the choices he makes from a financial and personnel standpoint, and let's just say his job security is rather "tenuous" right now.

Sure, Ireland could be leading Miami's organization in the wrong direction, but it's not the place of Dansby, Bush, or any player for that matter, to make their difference of opinion known to the media.

They would better serve their team by going out and, well, playing.
