Barry Jackson's latest.

Pro Football Focus recently listed the Dolphins among “five teams that could surprise with an NFL wild card appearance in 2018,” along with Houston, Washington, Chicago and the Los Angeles Chargers.

Here was PFF’s case for the Dolphins:

“The key to the Dolphins making a surprise push for the playoffs is getting quarterback Ryan Tannehill healthy, and keeping him that way. Tannehill might not be an elite signal-caller, but he has produced a PFF grade between 80.9 and 85.1 every season of his career so far. That will put you among the top 50 percent of quarterbacks in the NFL every season, and with enough help around him, he gives you a chance to win.

I agree with this. people have jumped off the ledge bc we gave up an overrated pouncey, and 2 good players. jarvis and suh did not make our team. when jarvis caught more than 10 balls we lost. suh allthough a great player is a dt. DT very rarely win you a game in professional football. we have put some weapons on offense to take up the reps from landry with albert and danny.
 
The article made many valid points that I agree with.

The counterpoint would be we have a young, unproven (consistently reliable) interior d-line and LB units. If we can't stop the run, without selling out, we will have a long season.
 
We have speed on offense.
We have experience on defense.
If Gase and the coordinators can pull it together we can get ten wins.

I would have sold the farm to keep Parkey.
 
Ive said this in a few other threads and Im sticking by it until proven otherwise.....

Tannehill returning to our Fins will be the single biggest upgrade to an offense in the ENTIRE NFL.

Cutler did not even rank in the top 32 QBs last year (wow), while Tanne has never been outside of the top 16 his entire career, and looked his best his last year playing for us.
 
If we squeak into the playoffs with a wild card and 6th seed, I'll be surprised too. I fully expect an AFCE crown in 2018.

Patriots will be the one's clawing at the wild card.

High Times magazine? :biggrin

Seriously, I believe that Miami is loaded with talent (and potential), but I have no faith in the coaching staff.

Fell the same way, I like Gase though, it's just the other ones that worry me, especially Burke.

Though I agree that youth will be featured in the middle, for the most part, these are pretty intelligent, accomplished individuals, especially at M-LB.

We have yet to see if McMillan is the real deal in the NFL, but if he is, a young energetic leader at M-LB
