We aren't cursed. We just need a superstar player or two to lead us again. The only way to make that happen is to draft really well. That's it. Our team will never go back to relevance by pissing away big contracts in free agency, or chasing washed up players, or players who others team let walk. We need to hit our draft picks at the skill positions - QB, WR, DE's, Safeties.
We should have won at least 2 more super bowls during Dan Marino's career, but Don Shula dropped the ball. Legendary coach, great for his time, but during Dan's career, he screwed up royally. Tom Olivadotti should have been fired a LONG time ago, yet he was kept on for about 7-8 years.... during which, the Dolphins had one of the league's worst defenses. You can't win championships when your offense is dominant and scores 35, but the defense gives up 40.
Anyway, I used to think the Miami Heat were cursed. I am a long time Heat fan, since 1995. The pains I went through with my Heat were tough. Then Alonzo Mourning got sick, and the Heat sucked hardcore, enough for a top 5 pick in the draft, and NAILED the pick with Dwyane Wade. Because of Dwyane Wade, Shaq suddenly wanted to come to Miami. We got a ring in 2006. Because of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh wanted to come to Miami. Another ring in 2012 and more to come.
All it takes is to draft well. Oh, and DO NOT BE A TREADMILL TEAM. If you are going 7-9 every year, implode the team and go into LOSE GAMES MODE to get a high pick. We had our chance to do this... we could be watching Andrew Luck lead our offense for the next 15 seasons..... oh well. We will have to hope Tannehill is legit.
