Breakdown

Chad Pennington continues to amaze me...He has zero arm strength and limited mobility...He still manages to lead his team to victory...He maybe the most cerebral quarterback in the league Peyton Manning included. Ronnie Brown is a great back...He can run the ball inside and outside...He has skills in the passing game...Catching and throwing...He is a very under rated blocker...Brown showed his skill level by running the wildcat offense flawlessly most of the season. Ricky Williams is a little flaky..I will give you that...He runs hard and violently...He is a very nice change of pace back and a perfect compliment to Ronnie Brown...The Dolphins pound two 230+ backs at defenses...They beat defenses up. ...

He wasn't impressed by Donald Thomas because he only played in one game. Someone should tell him he got injured

Good find. I think an A is overly ambitious for our DL. Are these ratings just compared to our division, or based on the entire NFL?

No idea what they're compared to. But also, our QB at C+. With Chad P., who was second in MVP Voting, with Chad Henne as a backup who came in against Zona and played nicely and with Pat White who will be the leader of the wildcat? I would give our WR a C+, at worst. DL probably isnt an A though. I gotta agree with you. We still dont know what kind of chemistry JP and JT will have. In '07, it didnt work, but they're more motivated right now

It is premature for any objective observe to have a good opinion of Donald Thomas. He has not even completed one game as an NFL player. We all belive he has potential, but he did not look great in that first game.

But I think this guy just looks at the stat sheet, only sees one game, and thinks that's because he sucks. Kinda like with Wilford

I'd give us a B at QB maybe even a B+, C- is way too low for what Chad did for us last year, give us a B- at DL for now, A is too much. But it was a fair assessment overall.

Pretty decent write-up for a non-Phin fan, though an A for the D-line is a bit high. Also, that comment about Soliai pushing for starting time this season....yeah, in our wildest dreams.

 

[greasyObnoxious]

i think assessing Ndukwe instead of Thomas would have given the write-up a bit more credibility. of course, calling Kendall Langford "Jevon" and saying Porter play very good against the run doesn't help.

still not a bad assessment of the team. quite fair actually.
