The ONLY silver lining here for us that I can think of is that the front office is going to basically use this year to evaluate all of the players and go through a massive house cleaning again in the off-season. I think we will rotate in guys to see what they can do in various situations, regardless if it makes sense or not (i.e. ginn not playing).
Bill knows that he inherited an 80's bucs type situation where face it, besides ronnie brown and possibly langford, merling, long and maybe ginn and henne, we really don't have any real talent on this team. I think this year is going to be a serious evaluation year. Bill doesn't care what the fan base thinks, as he has a friendship with wayne. Bill doesn't want to tarnish his legacy and I don't think that he would take on something that he couldn't fix. To make sure he took guys who he shaped while in dallas to make sure HIS principles are adhered to.
Bottom line is our team won't be competitive IMO, for about 4 years or maybe sooner but miami has never really had the ability to lure in high end free agents. The only thing we can do is lure in high end washups and pay them lucrative contracts (cough..cough porter..cough) and watch them get injured or be a waste of roster space.
We need to relax and really realize the REAL situation miami is in here. We are a VERY VERY bad team and once again some idiots were picking us to win 7-8 games. VERY typical even during the wanny years where we actually had a defense and all those "miami is going to go 10-6 or 11-5 and win the division years" on all the preseason mags. Yeah we know how that went. Everyone needs to stop buying into the hype and start doing what bill is. EVALUATE during the games. That is exactly what is going on and expect a seriously thorough housecleaning next offseason and a pretty productive free agency and draft this year for the first time in a very long time. We got hints of what is to come with this past draft.
Also the WORST thing we can do IMO is let Henne start for another 2 years. The psyche of rookies now-a-days is just not there (look at vince young). I understand young was a higher pick BUT henne knows that he has a very good shot here. I think he needs to carry the clip board (ala rogers, pennington, romo) and LEARN the game. He has a phenomenal mentor in parcells as well as having chad on board allows him to learn the things that rookies wouldn't pick up for awhile. We ruined beck and we IMO will do the same with Henne. Henne has tougher skin but if you look at most other teams, they let their rookie qb's sit. Just watch in cleveland in a few years. Look at rogers now. How is jackson doing in minny? Exactly.
Keep your head up fellas. I know it is hard but for us die hard fans. Our day is coming...
