Early Draft Picks:
DE/OLB Dion Jordan, CB Jamar Taylor, G/OT Dallas Thomas, CB Will Davis, OLB Jelani Jenkins, TE Dion Sims, RB Mike Gillislee, K Caleb Sturgis. Dolphins Rookie Forecast

2013 Miami Dolphins Offense:
The Dolphins apparently didn't care what many detractors had to say about Ryan Tannehill - how he had a high bust rate; that he would be a major reach at No. 8; how he wouldn't be ready to play until 2013 - the front office pulled the trigger and is now looking like it may have the last laugh. Tannehill's overall rookie numbers weren't great - 3,294 yards, 14 touchdowns (12 passing, 2 rushing), 13 interceptions - but he finished the season on a hot streak, compiling seven scores to just two picks in his final five games. Tannehill has reportedly spent a lot of time improving his footwork in the spring, which should theoretically cut down on some of his errant throws.

2013 Miami Dolphins Analysis: Big free-agent spending sprees can be treacherous. On one hand, Miami's roster has definitely improved with the additions that Jeff Ireland made. On the other hand, the new players will have to gel together, all while expectations are sky high. Big expectations from an untested team usually means big failure, as the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles learned. There's a chance the Dolphins could make the playoffs this season, but it's more likely that they'll choke under this new pressure.

Sounds like Junc's reasoning. They could make the playoffs......but they probably won't.

Pretty sure I read recently that Mike Wallace' catch percentage is very good - especially if you remove one fluke, bad game.
 
Maybe Walter should be reminded Tony Sparano and crew are no longer employed by the Dolphins.
 
we don't talk about a healthy Keller enough and what potentially could be the same effect Gonzo had with Ryan. I am not comparing the two TE's head-to-head, but the impact based on what the franchises need from them. He could keep the chains moving on 3rd and less than 4 - and it's those 2-3 extra downs in a game that can help us overcome a rough schedule to start.
 
He also predicted the Fins to have 3 wins last year. These guys will never stick their neck out there until they see results. ESPN Analysts are the same.

Based on past performance and history, I think it's reasonable to say.

It's bet hedging, but that's what everyone does these days.

If it was always just about the past the same teams would win every year and the same ****ty teams would remain so.

8-8 is the cop out prediction. If they aren't sure what the Dolphins are going to do, don't give an answer that can go either way.

Why couldn't 8-8 be a reasonable prediction?

If you guessed that prior to last year you'd be pretty close.

Past performance is a fairly good indicator of future performance. Not the only one, to be sure, but a reasonable
one to consult with and base an opinion from.
