On the optimist side of the table, I have to hope that Wayne H knows SOMETHING about quality hires. The man DID build several huge companies, and I don't think he did all of that with mob connections...ok...SOME, but it couldn't have been ALL. So Wayne H can certainly be considered the best judge of these moves.
On the pessimist side...none of us REALLY knows how Rick S would have handled the FA/Draft differently if he had been in charge the last few years. Maybe he wouldn't have made the same mistakes...or maybe they would have been worse. And none of us know what Dan is going to do or not do for the team. Maybe he's the fire we need. Or maybe his temper turns the team into Downtown Beirut. Heck, we don't even know if this is going to change things up. Wanny's still here...Rick is still here...Dan is NOW here, but how much impact will he have, especially in year 1? We might see EXACTLY the same Phins next season(yes, even including Jay Fiedler...you just never know what's going to happen in the off-season). Then again, we might see half the Defense gutted to rebuild the offense. Who knows? Right now I'd say you had MUCH better odds of betting the longshot down at Calder than you do of having any clue what the 2004 Dolphins are going to look like. On a plus note...at least it gives us something to talk about for the next 3 months.
