While I agree, no pass rush affects the secondary. How much of Cutler's success was a below average pass rush?
The pass rush is part of the pass defense, no doubt.

The pass defense surrendered a YPA of 10 to the Raiders, amidst a passer rating of 121.3 by Jay Cutler.
In other words, the pass defense played horrendously, even alongside a high-quality performance by the offense.
There have been 30 games in 2017 in which at least one of the teams involved had a YPA of at least 9.5. Those teams with the YPA of at least of 9.5 were 29-1. The one team that lost with a YPA of at least 9.5 was beaten by a team with a YPA of 10.9.
You stand almost no chance of winning in the NFL when you surrender a YPA of 10. The Dolphins' pass defense gave this team very little if any chance of winning Sunday night.
Yikes...nice chatting with you.
Not going to argue w the stats but I will say this - the field was slippery for the pass rushers on both teams. Cutler had more time to throw than any game this season and his YPA were the best they've been all year. I don't think that was a coincidence meaning both QBs couldn't miss unless they suffered a drop by the receivers for the most part. I really think that was the field affecting the rushers more than anything.The pass defense surrendered a YPA of 10 to the Raiders, amidst a passer rating of 121.3 by Jay Cutler.

Welcome and good post. For me, I denounced the Cutler signing but I still had hope because I reasoned that at least it happened in camp and not in the middle of the season. You are correct in that there aren't enough good QBs to fill out starting roster spots. You see what's happened to GB and Houston without their starters - their offenses suddenly can't do anything. This is why I'm not so sure our roster sucks as bad as many people believe. If you use that logic in GB and Houston you'd suddenly be calling every player there a bust, over paid, etc. Without very good QB play everyone else looks meh. Except John Denney. He always looks good.First post here. I felt compelled to chime in.
I get it, our offense has been inept and our record is well..mediocre to say the least. It sucks to be here, but why is everyone so surprised? I don't think that we expected a winning record at mid point this season with Jay Cutler at the helm. Our team isn't going to do anything in the playoffs even if we somehow manage to squeeze our way in.
Also, Gase is not to blame for the way things are going this season. If anything, blame Tannenbaum for not addressing the offensive line and ****ty luck with Tannehill going down. Gase went with the best option on the table by signing Cutler who he has had success with in the past. We had enough talent to compete this year and he wanted to give our team a fighting chance with the cards we were dealt with.
I mean look at teams like the Packers and Texans. Those teams have talent on their rosters but aren't going to jack this year with backup QBs.
That's the weird thing. We haven't really seen a varied offensive attack based on the opponent. Then again, when we take a penalty on every 1st play of every drive the game plan probably goes out the window.While I dont think Gase is at fault for all of our woes this season he certainly deserves his share of the blame. The playcalling for the most part has been pretty horrific, and that's 100% on Gase. There also doesn't seem to be Any type of plan to attack opposing defenses weaknesses. It appears to me that Gase is going to run his scheme and plays no matter what the defense does and without a lot of variety so this has made it pretty damn easy to defend our offense.
