Well when you switch out coaches every year or two this is what you get. Look at the best and worst teams in the league, you tend to see a direct correlation between consistent winning teams and consistent personell in the FO and on the sidelines. We all want instant results..... or bust. When Parcells went to Dallas it was a similar deal. Pretty good first year then a let down the second year. After that they became consistently good.

1. Thats what i said, they'll be hoping Henne works out.
2. I do not believe that Henne is better than Ryan, i don't KNOW for certain that he isn't because Henne is unproven, but i don't believe he is/will be or ever was (in college), but the Phins must have, or at least thought he'd be close to as good because they thought getting a solid LT and Henne was more of a bargain. I'd agree if Henne works out, even if he isn't necessarily as good as Ryan (who's looking great -- but again has lots more help) but at least effective and serviceable and can make plays that wins this team games.
3. How many times has Jake Long "been on his ***"? Once? Twice? Against two of the best DE's in football? Give me a break. He's a second year player, has started every game and has only given up what 4.5 sacks? He's a great run blocker, his pass protection and footwork needs improvement against elite players but he is indeed a great player. Come on.
4. Maybe. We'll see if Henne pans out. I want a franchise QB too. I was in favor of taking Quinn (and Aaron Rogers over Ronnie Brown) and blew my top when we picked Ginn. Not because i thought Ginn was horrible or a bust but the need was a QB. I think we've addressed QB needs with Pennington/Henne but now we need to EVALUATE Henne and find out if he indeed is the real deal. If not, it's going to be a great year to get a QB in the draft.

the biggest thing to me is that the billy doesnt believe in spending high picks on playmakers. its already been said that he wont draft a rb high in the draft. same goes for wr. and sorry to say billy never was good at judging qbs. he thinks he can win with abunch of nobodies at the skill positions. he hasnt done anything special since the giants and he has been living off of that for years. he is a great judge of linman and lbs but that is it. thats the one area where we have improved.

I understand this completely and was the scope of a few posts in some other threads. No excuse for the last 15 years of the shula regime or even with the wanny era. He just flat ran us into the ground after reaping the benefits of a JJ's draft.
"HUFFER" !!! couldn't have said it better myself!!! Thank You ... many, many fans thought the team was going to win big ... but seem to forget that last season saw a team catch lightning in a bottle and won more than they should have... a very pleasent suprise none the less!!! but all the good that was last years seems to have gotten caught in the LAW OF AVERAGES!!! and this season is going to be on the down side... it's not pretty and down right frustrating sometimes, but at least the talent level is better than what was here when Cameron was coach... and that has been accomplished in just 2 short seasons... the building process continues... just gotta be more patient!!!
But to most of the fans, they are now dumb and stupid, because the team is 0-3 ... Dallas took 3 years before becoming a good TEAM ... NE took 3 years before becoming a good team ... and BP himself has said, "he expects to compete in 2010" thats year #3 for Miami ... Rome wasn't built in a day or 1 season... but the fan base is expecting that to be the case!!! that is WAY TO HIGH OF EXPECTATIONS!!! it really stinks watching what is unfolding so far this season... but like in many of BP's past stops... similiar results happened... He is a good evaluator of talent and will right the ship soon, just not in 2009 ... this F/O needs more time!!!

We fans are stupid and yet none of those teams won a superbowl.
Actually NE in year three was 6-10. Dallas was 9-7 in year three I mean really are they any worse without Parcells. The Jets were 8-8 in year three.
We did not sign players like Grove and Wilson because we are rebuilding on some 3 year plan. I think every fan has a right to have better aspirations than to be 0-3 and not to have been close to winning two of the three games.
best post ive read in awhile
so do you see this team in the super bowl in year 3?

I would say at this point, the only thing they have "failed" at is in picking a defensive coordinator and secondary coach!

I hope so but none of his other teams were there in year three.
Keep wasting draft picks on specialty players and Im not sure what will happen.
Belichek got a more useful qb in round 7 then we did in round 2.
