I hate to be negative which I am usually an optimistic person. Coming into this season, I too was suckered into believing they would be playoff bound. I bought a new Fins hat (thank goodness the retro logo) new shorts and almost went in on season tickets. After this week, I came to realize there is no Santa Clause.... ooops I mean there is no playoffs for the team. I go from disappointment to anger. I need to go to the group meeting Miami Dolphins Anonymous!!! Anyways, the point I was going to make is about, yes, player personnel selection. Past performance is a predictor of future performance. Going into this season, we thought we were deep in receivers. None of us stopped to examine the reality of the situation. Besides Waddle, which of our receivers has not shown they are injury prone?? Fuller... Buzzer.... Wilson... Buzzer.... Parker.... Buzzer... Preston Williams.... Buzzer... How could Grier think that we would not need a hospital tent at our games for our WR corps.... Again, bad decision making on player personnel.
 
Nobody in their right mind thought we were deep at WR. Just because the list of names was long. Cmon man. Parker has been hurt since draft day. Waddle injury history. Williams injury issues. Wilson same. Grant same. It was an entire pile of question marks we made into a chain by linking them. A chain of doubt. This train wreck was only a matter of time.
 
Coming into the season a lot of what people thought would determine our season was the growth of Tua. It’s way more than that now. But I will say this. Tuas QBR through the time he’s played is around 43. That’s terrible
 
Outside of Waddle the entire WR core should be different next season.... at least it better be

It's a shame Grier, in his wisdom, didn't warn Flo, scouts, assts, of those histories. Get rid of Grier = no more players with injury histories.

The problem with this team isn't the WR core. This should be one of the last things needed to be rehauled. We could add D. Hopkins and Calvin Johnson to this team and we would still lose all of the time.

It is time to rebuild the trenches on both sides of this team. We have no offensive line and not even 1 capable pass rusher.

And the worst runningbacks in the league for 2 years in a row. The most important that needs to be changed on this team is the GM

That’s just not true, I’d say the majority of the board felt we were deep. Obviously looking back it was fools gold, but a lot of people absolutely believed we had that position covered better than almost any other
 
Everything written prior to start of season was that this was a very deep & talented WR squad that would light up the league. The reality of it is a often injured and weak WR squad with questionable talent and apparently no heart.

Seriously? It was a list of MASH unit players. On paper we looked good but still no alpha, no durability, and definition of fools gold.

Not really. We have been trying bargain bin picks to do it. You build the tranches with beasts not consolation prices. This year we had a chance to have a true LT and we gave it up to draft a slot wr.
