They always say you need a good combination of vets and younger players but to be great it helps when you have players at the peak of their careers. Well, I was just thinking about this and most of the players on the roster are either too young or past their prime or they're injured too often.
Cutler-in his last year
Drake-in his 2nd year
Parker-in his 3rd year
Landry-in his 4th year
Stills-getting close but not there yet
Thomas-he's done
Fasano-He's done
Tunsil-in his 2nd year
James-4th year and hurt once again
Pouncey-He's done
Davis-very young
Larsen-career back up
Wake- one more year?
Suh-at his peak
Phillips-3rd year
two rookie DT's
Harris-rookie
Branch-average player making more than he's worth
Timmons-in his last year or two
Kiko- will never really have a prime
Maulauga-in his last year
RM-Rookie
Tank-Rookie
Howard-in his 2nd year
Jones-at his peak
TJM-Not there yet
we really only have a couple of players at their peak. The rest are either just about done or way too young to know how to win and what it really takes.
Giving guarantee money to so many vets that are really just average players will hurt us this coming off season and then giving away picks for players that can't get on the field(Carroo-Anthony) hurts us on draft day too.
As far as Gase, I have support him because he's our coach but he's losing me fast. Sick of him blaming the offense for the fact that the defense sucks. He's supposed to be the HC of the whole team, not just the play caller for the offense. The fact he's in love with Pouncey and Bushrod and Thomas(the guy is slower than a mack truck)and Cutler makes me feel that he's just not a good talent evaluator at this point.
Our GM imo should be gone but I doubt Ross does anything about it so we're stuck with more bad decisions in free agency, draft or trades. Last night for the first time ever, I actually turned off the TV before the game was over and went to bed. That was a disgrace what we saw from this team last night. I totally believe there are at least 5 or 6 guys on this board that would make better decisions than the guys running our FO.
The worst thing? We're maxed out with the cap and we have zero extra picks other than maybe a 7 while we don't have a 5 Hoping that Tannehill and RM and Lippeett come back 100% healthy but it's going to take way more than that to turn this team around.
