fin-atic said:Where is the talent upgraded? Please give specifics not specualtion. The way I see it there is no one on paper with facts that isn't a gamble. Perhaps Jeno James is the most stable aquisition. And he has only had one solid year.
AJ: Big gamble. 5 pro starts and all wins against losing teams. Only 8 college starts.
Carey: Rookie needs to learn the Pro game and may be an effective NFL starter or not.
Smith: Up and down rookie year. At times solid at times embarrassing. Which way will he go?
McKinney: Only won the center job due to Ruddy's age, but has been unable to beat him out for proior years.
McIntosh: Injured and questionable return this year
St. Clair: Backup who has yet to prove he can start
Boston: Head case making an early case for bust move of the year.
I think anyone who keeps saying "we are better" as I keep reading, is not reading the facts and are hoping that the changes pan out.
I for one feel more sceptical about this year. I think it would be easier to make the leap of faith on these unknown entities if I trusted the Dolphin braintrust more. But I have zero confidence in Wanny and Speilman.
Question marks always exist. You could probably take the AFC or NFC probowl roster and come up with a question mark for everyone of those players. If you want guarantees then go look somewhere else b/c they don't exist in the NFL.
