Even throughout the second half of the Marino years(92-99) when a 6 year old me became a Dolphins fan, the same thing always happens. We lose, we get manhandled, we get worked, we get made into laughing stocks, we get false hope and then quickly get made aware at how inept we really are. Essentially, we underachieve. We bring in free agents that at their former team played very well, with numbers to back it up and for whatever reason, once they put on that orange and aqua jersey, their talents just drop off. We bring in coaches with great resumes, resumes that illustrate that with lesser talent, have succeeded in this league. We get coaches with Superbowl backgrounds and yet both types of coaches, once they put on one of our headsets, their minds turn to garbage.
I just want to know why. Why do these things happen to this team every year? Why doesn't it matter what owner, administration, coaches or players we have that the same result will always happen? That this team will underachieve and play worse then what their pasts tell us they will do? Why when a descent portion of these players go else where they play well? Why do our decisions seemingly never work out for this team?
So, I know some people will get pumped for Jay Ajayi and say that he looked good. I agree he did look good. But does it matter? Because what this team loves to do is to get good players and either not play them though in the brief moments they get look sharp or to get a player with a great resume and literally not know how to use them. You know that in 2 weeks we're going to be thinking "why isn't Jay getting the ball more, he has like a 4.9 per carry average?" How many draft picks have we had where we draft a guy with skills that are clear as day and then we can't figure out to have that player use those skills on the field?
I have loved this team for 23 years and wouldn't dare of giving up on them because I don't believe in such lame acts, but I do feel I have the right to ask as many questions on a Monday.
My most interesting question is; is it literally something in the air in Miami that causes this organization to fail?
