Poll: How well did Cam do this offseason?

[foozool13]

OK so it looks like the offseason is just about wrapped up and I wanted to see what people think of Cam's efforts and aquisitions as a whole. (Draft, FA, etc..) We may still have some cuts and a few late signings but these wont be a big difference in our team.

A. A
B. A-
C. B+
D. B
E. B-
F. C+
G. C
H. C-
I. Below Average

I say we wait until the season to know how was the offseason

 

[Dol_Fan_4_Ever]

So far I said B+ because I liked the way the Phins drafted and how he addressed the offense. The LG problem still irks me a little because of how the o-line has played but I'm sure him and Houck will figure it out. Other than that, I have nothing else.

If you think the possible signing of someone like Pete Kendall won't make a big difference in our team, then you are sadly mistaken. Anyway, I'll wait until the regular season begins before I start to judge Cam/Mueller for this offseason.

 

[SaskFinFan]

I like what has been done in the off season, a few things were not addressed, but what they did do, cutting deadwood off the team, then improving the team speed. Things can never be completely revamped in one off season, but it is a promising start in there first off season.

I truly think a c is a fair grade. we have done nothgin spectacular but have added some pieces,unfortunately we have big questions in the same place the oline and now are weaker at TE. I think for alot of teams signing Kendell would be no big deal, but for us its a big deal because we have a young oline and a lack of talent at G.

To say we are weaker would mean we had a productive TE which McMike was not. All the finfans including myself gave him the benifit of a doubt but he was a poor blocker and wouldnt get open very often. He was average AT BEST.

 

[adamprez2003]

I liked Green and Porter and the draft from Satele onward. I thought we shouldve done more in FA and I'm not a fan of Beck. Ginn gets a pass because we needed speed at receiver though I wouldve gone with Pat Willis at that pick

 

[Vertical Limit]

I'll give him a B when Culpepper is gone, an A if we get a 7th round draft pick from him.

 

[Dolfan32323]

I gave him a C. This all depends on whether Beck and prove to be a good QB.

 

[#1dolphinsfan]

A- i think we could have gone with the O-line a little bit more

 

[RunGinnRunTD]

Honestly, I don't know what we could of done better this offseason then what has happened. We won't truley know until Sept 9 in Washington what this team looks like in action. I can't see how anyone would argue the fact that we have a better team than we did the past couple of years. Signing Kendall would be a great upgrade for the O-line. Also I think we will see a few people break out this year on top of the people we know will.

Getting rid of dead wood has as much to do with the offseason grade as getting the players (and coaches) in that we did. I do not think we are any weaker at TE as Dlockz suggests, as I was as tired as anyone watching McMichael drop almost every critical pass thrown to him last year. We have upgraded team speed and re-positioned our team to continue to add newcomers who can contribute, where we have an opportunity to do so.

A large part of the offseason makeover is the change in team culture. It's more a collective achievement-oriented attitude now than it is a tense, Saban-down-your-throat attitude. Tension is good. Tension generates the energy necessary to push yourself toward perfection and exhaustion in achieving the goal. But the tension must be positive tension vs. negative tension. Cam & Co. accentuates the positive; Saban - the negative.

All in, I gave the team an A-. I would have said an A, if Kendall gets to Miami, but I cannot grade the future if-come. And realistically, no one's grade means a hill of beans until the games are played. But if we were to grade potential, Miami has made excellent strides. Iterations of strides will be what's necessary to get back to the playoffs, and we may get lucky and get there this year. But I am putting my money on next year. I think it takes this rookie/newcomer class a full learning year or two before they will be able to make the impact and be the star pros we want them to be.

Wait till mid season atleast before one can gauge

1)What if trent is still has his bell rung and plays like he did when he came back?.The OL,TE run support package of KC with larry could not help him .
2)Porter had a bad last year and no one knows if it is a start of the end of his career.Even in Pit`s farrior was more important peice of thier LB core and hagan is good too.
3)I do not conside rookie should be expected to contribute unless they are in the play for every play in offence or defence.I do not think the top 2 picks will be in the field this year in every down of offence.
