9-7 Season would be Miracle

[phinfreak]

Lets face it.

First year HC and staff
No QB right now
New offensive system takes year to implement, second year to execute
Unsettled O Line, including LT
Same slow WR until Ginn breaks line up but then he is a rookie

This is just evidence the our phins are indeed rebuilding. It will take 1 or 2 more drafts to catch up to New England, San Diego, Colts, Denver and others.

I would be happy with a 9-7 season.

If you look at back at that season. The fins could have finished much better if they would have just made a handfull of fewer mistakes...

Well, this might be true but the same exact situation was faced by the Saints last year and they turned out alright.:wink:

if C-Pep is healthy, Ronnie has a good year, the line actually blocks, Chambers goes back to being a probowler and if the aging defense pulls it together for another year, id say maybe a 10-6 season maybe even 11-5, and a 1st or second round loss in the playoffs, but if something goes wrong i think we're back down to 7-9 or 8-8

Maybe if this was fantasy football.

It is gonna take more than 1 or 2 drafts for this team to be considered elite like that.

That's a pretty good summary right there :tongue:

First of all we dont have that bad of an offence we have just had a lot of diffrent coachs the past five years Chambers is the best WR we have on our team and no Defence can play Chambers one on one or you can just throw it up to him and he will jump over the Defencive player like he did in the Pro bowl a couple years ago and team have to score agianst our Defence To win the Game our Defence could be the best in the legue this year and the O-line isnt that great but they are getting better our QB isnt selted you have that part right but i think the QB and the O-line is the only thing the dolphins need to work on the be a 9-7 team and probly better and Trent Green has a really good chance of being a miami Dolphin and that would settle our QB Sution for this year at least and maybe a couple more year and he would be a good teacher for John Beck and maybe next year we could get Allan Fanica so i think the dolphins could be a really good team by next year and i think they will be a 8-8 team this year

 

[BillsFanInPeace]

Right now IMO your team is a 6-10 team at worst. Couple of them losses will be close though and could go either way so I would have to guess RIGHT now you are 8-8 team at best and 6-10 at worst.

obviously I reserve the right to change that as the off season progresses

DAmmm i hate to agree with a bills fan:tongue:

If we are able to get better play from the QB position, 9-7 is a disappointment......nothing more. If you think anything less, you are not really paying much attention.

 

[DUB]

We have a great D. We need consistent QB play and an average offense and can win games.

I'd agree with everything here exact the Culpepper notion. I think it's time to come to a consensus that Culpepper isn't the man wanted for the job here. It would be awesome if he came back and lit up the field, but I just don't think it will happen, let alone him be given the oppertunity to do so. If Trent Green plays like he did preconcussion and the line holds up at all, we are 10-6 or 11-5 IMO.

A slow WR group that has 2 guys who both run faster than a 4.4. Yeah, they are just sloths huh?:rolleyes2

CC runs in the mid 4.3's. Assuming we have Trent Green and a solid O-line this team could compete for a playoff spot. You are living in the 1970's if you think it takes 2 yrs to compete.
You mention the Chargers. They turned it around in 1 yr. They have been pretty good for 2 seasons. 3yrs ago they were a team considered to have a weak defense. Their O-line was re-built in one year, they solidified the QB position, got Gates and rebuilt the defense through the draft.
