If QB is Average, What is Fins' Record?

[Fineas]

Most of the difference in opinion about the Fins' season hinges on people's expectations for the QB. Assuming that who ever starts puts up numbers that are about average starting QB numbers, what will the Dolphins record be? Last year, the median QB rating for NFL starters was around 83 (David Carr, Hasselbeck, Plummer). Assume the following stat line, which comes out to about an 83 QB rating: 3500 yards, 58% completion, 21 TDs, 15 ints.

Implicit in this stat line is at least decent protection from the O-line and decent production from the receivers. I think that with average QB play, the Fins should be in the 10-6 or 11-5 range.

if the QB does okay then our team can win alot of games, as long as the QB doesn't throw bad pass after bad pass then our WRs can handle catching the ball and making plays. Our RBs will be good and keep the offense moving. Our defense can definitely win some games for us

I don't think we'll see that type of performance from whoever starts for us this year.

BUT....if we do I think we could be a playoff team.

Good/Great defense
Good Weapons on O
Should have a good running game

If we can get average QB play I think we are a 10/11 win team, but like I said I expect less than average play. 7-9/6-10 is probably more realistic assuming our quarterbacks play to their historical norms.

Yes, even with adjusting to new system....10 wins.

Well first of all they play in the toughest division in football. 10 or 11 wins is too much lets be realistic ok.The qutarbacks are average at best so they need to play above their heads as does the offensive line. The coaching staff is completley different so are the schemes on offense and defense . Give Saban a chance to impliment his system at least a year or two then you can expect the record to be different. I say 7 to 8 wins at the most.

If the Dolphins get average play out of their qb, then I think 9-10 wins is very possible. Obviously, that would mean that the offensive line was holding its own as well. As of now, I think average play would be a bit of a high expectation, however, although maybe more realistic for the last third of the season if players (o-line) improves.

Good QB play you'll win 7-8, average you'll win 6-7, poor you'll win 5-6.

Why only 8 wins with good QB play?

You still need good OL play, you are counting on Ricky who is unreliable, Boston is a question mark, Chambers is always supposed to step up to become elite yet he never does, McMichael is a head case and your D is average at best. You have skill players on O and if you get good QB play you'll be decent, if for some reason marino takes over Gus or AJs body and they play great then you could win another game or 2 but let's be real that is not going to happen.

Love your sig but, good luck I got clobbered when I had a simular one up as an aviator. Mine wasn't as nice as this one. Just had GW holding the ball like on the right.

Our O-lines play will be key to how well our team is we all know we have backup Qb's so if our O-line somehow plays strong I can see them getting these numbers but I don't think thats happening. I think we should have a qb percentage around 70% if we have decent Dolphins Qb play. Which will lead to a season between 7-10 wins.

Average would be an upgrade over what we've seen so far last year and this year. With average play we could be very good. I'm banking more on bad QB play than average.
