We are skipping the Victory Of The Week post this evening so that we can post your open letters to Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. Below are your letters, but if you missed the original post and would like to participate, please place your thoughts in the comments section below.
dedstrk kicks us off with a plea to sell or, at the very least, get someone in at the top who knows what they are doing.
SELL THE TEAM! or alternatively, hire a real football guy to run the day-to-day and report to you.
The Miami Ute took this seriously, and I, for one, appreciate that. Here are Ute’s thoughts-
This letter took me a while to put together, so don’t laugh….I wrote is as if I was writing to a superior in a hierarchical organization, something that I was part of for well over three decades.
Mr. Stephen M. Ross
Owner, Miami Dolphins
Hard Rock Stadium

Dear Mr. Ross,
I hope this letter finds you well. As a long-time supporter of the Miami Dolphins, I am writing out of both concern and loyalty. The 2025 season has been deeply frustrating—for fans, players, and the organization alike. The team entered the year with high expectations, yet a series of recurring issues have undermined our performance and progress. I wanted to share my observations as a fan who cares deeply about this franchise, and offer a few possible solutions moving forward.
First, inconsistency in coaching and game management continues to plague the team. While Coach McDaniel’s offensive creativity remains a strength, the lack of in-game adjustments—particularly when opponents disrupt the rhythm early—has resulted in missed opportunities and costly losses. Too often, the offense stalls in critical moments, and the defense is left on the field far too long. Greater emphasis on situational awareness, time management, and halftime adaptation is urgently needed.
Second, injuries and depth issues have once again exposed the fragility of our roster. The offensive line remains unreliable, both in protecting the quarterback and establishing a consistent run game. Injuries to key defensive starters have further highlighted the lack of quality depth, especially in the secondary. Investing more in durable, versatile linemen and rotational defensive players should be a top offseason priority. Improved strength and conditioning programs, as well as smarter snap counts for veteran players, could also reduce the injury toll.
Third, there is a growing disconnect between talent and leadership. The team has elite playmakers, but their potential isn’t being maximized. Discipline has slipped—penalties, dropped passes, and mental lapses have cost us multiple winnable games. A stronger internal culture of accountability and player leadership could help restore focus and pride. Veteran voices in the locker room must be empowered to set the tone.
Lastly, the organization’s identity seems uncertain. Are the Dolphins a high-flying offensive...
