Yo do have better talent. How many former probowlers do you have on D? Didn't you have the best rb, DE (in the NFL) and TE (in the AFCE) . You can tell that Wanny doesn't have all his marbles when he insist in making Fiedler the starting qb. That was his decision and his alone. Now majority of finsfans and entire league for that matter say he needs to go. Even Fiedler supporters have seen the light.
Bellichick and co. could've gotten last years fins all the way especially since the bills and Pats didn't have the talent they have now. The fins and bills have better talent than the Pats but BB can put one hell of a game plan and gameday adjustments that is usually enough to win games . This is where Wanny and Williams weakness show.
Squad by the amount of probowlers then you're way off. Brock Marion is a name. ZT is not what he used to be especially late in the year, Sam Madison, again a name. So when you take stock, you really have JT, PS, the Prince, and maybe Timbo as probowlers. with JT and PS being perenial pro bowlers. I hate when people discredit NE as not having alot of talent. The difference between NE and Miami, is the players they select for their roster is specifically chosen to fit BB schemes, so they flourish in his systems. Most of our defensive players have become names but don't necessarily work for our system, especially for the long haul of the season.
JF on the other hand, coincidently suffered because we did not replace Mike Shula when he left. He was night and day comparing last year to this year, and you could tell he was getting sloppy with his decision making and his mechanics. He's also injury prone, which has been a liability. I definetly blame wanny for not replacing MS when he left, because I'm almost positve we would've gotten better results from JF despite our o-line deficiencies. Nonetheless JF needs to go and I wont argue against that fact.
If you call Randy McMicheal the best TE in the AFCE last year, epcially over the course of the season, you're off. he definetly disappeared last year for half the season. This season I will agree his been one of if not the best TE in the AFCE, but most of the time he was blocking, instead of catching.
bottom line is, we could have changed coaches, found a new QB, hired Ron Wolf as GM and it would not garuntee Miami a superbowl, I know I've been a fan for over 20 years. I agree with the notion of seeing how wanny does when given a good qb to work with, and having his roster molded for him and not the other way around.
One last thing, Remember all the talk nad comparisons Tony Dungy had with DW, and Look how he's flourished in Indy. It's scary to think what an all pro qb and a good o-line can do, especially when you have a solid defense.
