No, no you don't. You THINK you do, just as think I do....but it has yet to be determined.

Yeah?.....Did the Chargers know what they had in Drew Brees 3rd season?....When he completed 57% of his passes...11 td's and 15 ints?
No.....they didn't...but they thought they did.
Two games.....1-1.....Let's let it play out before we over react...that's my real point.
Wow...that stung...as I admitted...bad comparison... but the point stands...too early to panic or quit.
I also miss the Orange Bowl atmosphere... I hope this stadium renovation recaptured some of that.

Man do you know how many QB's failed for every one Drew Brees that succeeded? You're cherry picking your examples.

You have made me angry very angry indeed
People are fed up, and I don't blame them, its like we are cursed or something. One could make a TV show with all the Dolphins bloopers out there
Ok....Jim Plunkett...Terry Bradshaw....Brett Favre or Steve Young?
Look...all I'm suggesting is game 2 at 1-1 is to early for the garbage seen on this board.

You can throw out all the names you want. It's a surface example and has no relevance in lieu of failure rates. They're the exception not the norm.
Just go to any prediction thread and most people said they`d be happy going 2-2 at the BYE...I just dont know how most expected us to go 2-2 without losing a game...?
And I fully expect this team to go 3-1....We should get Knowshon Back shortly after the bye....and the Buffalo game will be largely forgotten.

The nay crowd had their opinions formed before week one, the Patriots game was a disappointment to them. This is going to continue all season. Mark my words if the Dolphins make the playoffs they will bitch if they don't make it to the Superbowl. If Tannehill throws for 4000 yards and 35 TD's they will bitch because he had 15 INT's. And so on

Last year I could really give a flying **** about. We've brought in new personnel and coaches, it's not the same team and they're not playing the same teams. The losing trend the last 20 years is grounds for being fickle, not grounds for bitching and squawking and calling it a season in week 2. If people are already set in believing we're ****ed based on past failures, as I said there is no causation there. Just because we were bad, doesn't mean we are bad. Being skeptical is fine....I'm skeptical, but the evergrowing section of the board that thinks people around here are stupid for letting the season play out a couple more games based on past failures are ill-informed to be making such statements in week 2.

Has anyone here heard of the famous saying in football, "Any given Sunday"? This is why they play the game, if you honestly think the season two weeks in is an indication of the success that will be attained during the season, you are gravely mistaken. Anything can happen on any given Sunday, and nothing is truly predictable at any given point in the season. Let the coaches coach and let the players play, and the cards will fall where they will.
This is where I must respectfully disagree. The twenty years of past failures for this franchise has led to the development of a CULTURE OF MEDIOCRITY that has infused the entire franchise. It will have to be overcome before the team will be able to become a consistent championship contender. A steady stream of coaches, players and front office personnel have contributed to this culture, few have been able to transcend it, and none have been able to overcome it. So, there is causation. What happened last year matters because the same players and coaches who accepted last year's mediocrity are still here.
I'll reiterate again. The season is not over. Anyone saying it is over is incorrect.
Not the same team though huh? Last year Miami beat NE at home and couldn't beat Buffalo. So far in 2014 the same thing has happened. Those are facts. Let's see if Miami has the balls to finish better than 8-8.

People are skeptical because we went out and thumped the Patsies hard. Expectations increased; maybe just maybe we turned a corner. Then, 1 scant week later, we don't even look like we're in the same league with the stinkin Bills. It drives anyone who has been a Dolphin fan for years nuts....because at least with other regimes we were predictably competitive. If we played Seattle at Seattle next week it would not surprise me if we won. Then lose 5 straight games. And all that's on the front office and coaching.
