I honestly think the Dolphins are both a prime candidate to be hyped and to be OVERhyped.
Cuz I mean honestly its too easy to do both. We're a perennial playoff team that always exits the first round. We have a good defense, and the offense always lets us down (defense too down the stretch).
But whats the thing that eludes us most in the playoff runs? Running game and consistent point scoring.
So we add Ricky Williams and Norv Turner onto the team we had last year. Seems pretty simple to say well basically we've filled our only big holes. Hence the hype.
But if NFL recent history tells us anything, its that teams that fill their most pressing needs during free agency often get their strength as a team sapped off from somewhere else that they didn't expect and they end up not being the super team they looked like on paper. So in this case the hype creates the overhype position...but only because in the NFL, what looks good usually isn't. Thats the only reason why the Phins are called overhyped, because its too easy to see why they are being hyped.
