Myth: McDaniel's teams are undisciplined
Busted: Over the last four games, Miami has averaged fewer than four penalties per game, including only ONE against the Rams, just TWO against the Cardinals, and FOUR against the Raiders.
Myth: Tua is a one-read QB who crumbles under pressure and can't extend plays or make throws off schedule
Busted: Since his return from injury, Tua has REPEADETLY made big time, drive extending plays in clutch moments by avoiding pressure, getting outside the pocket, and hitting 3rd read receivers on the run
Myth: The NFL has figured out McDaniel's offense
Busted: Over the four games since Tua's return, Miami has averaged more than 27 points of offense per game. McDaniel has shown game planning flexibility by adapting to the types of defenses other teams play against Miami to mitigate Waddle and Hill.
Myth: The players don't respect McDaniel
Busted: If the team didn't respect the him, he would have lost the locker room. Given the last for games, this is clearly not the case: Miami lost to Buffalo and the Cardinals by a combined 4 points, then went to LA and beat the favored Rams followed by a two-score victory at home against the Raiders.
Myth: Grier is a terrible GM
Busted: While Grier is far from perfect, the moves of replacing Connor Williams (who retired from Seattle mid-season) with Aaron Brewer, not resigning Christian Wilkinson (who was lost for the season 4 weeks ago) while picking up Calias Campbell, and adding Jonnu Smith in the offseason, have all been net positives. Drafting Achane last year, then Malik Washington and Jaylen Wright this year, looks to pay dividends for years to come. Again, not saying Grier is a great GM, but looking at the amount of talent Miami has, he is objectively not terrible, especially compared to the GMs Miami has had over the last couple decades: Dennis Hickey, Jeff Ireland, and Randy Mueller.
