I have. And I will. This was the third worst scoring output a Miami offense has ever had. It was atrocious. It kept our defense on the field way too long and made them wear out very early.
If we didn't get a missed 45 yarder (which is about 85% in the NFL) and if we didn't get lucky enough to have Marcus Mariota get hurt before our game, we'd have been 4-12. And before these last two years, that's where the Browns were. So, hence the title, we were pretty close to being associated with one of the worst teams in the NFL.
Hell, we were neck-in-neck with them in point differential.
We were bad. Really, really bad. That's what happens when you go from a good quarterback to an awful one.
we can play the what if game with every team. if u want to play that game, last year if codey parkey dosent miss any of his 3 chip shot fgs with cleveland vs miami, we start 0-5 last year, if kenyon drake dosent return a kickoff return for i think it was 96 yds last year vs the jets, we most likely lose that game also.
i am not arguing how awful cutler was, he was awful and i never wanted him here. what i am saying is that even with tannehill, our offense is not special by any means , and with tannehill we have never won more than 8 games in a season, and with have won less in 2 of the 5 seasons. this year despite the awful qb play, we still won 6, which is around what the dolphins normally win most years, 6,7,8, games with or without ryan. That is all i was saying.
And here is what the dolphins are avg pts wise with tannehill as qb every season thus far
2012- 18 ppg, as a team, but 17.2 with tannehill in 15 games ( he left the dolphin jet game early in the 1st when the score was 0-0, and we scored 30 which inflated our ppg avg because it was so low. - ranked 27th in nfl in ppg
2013-19.8 ppg- ranked 26th in ppg
2014-24.2 ppg- ranked 11th ( only season in top half in ppg)
2015-19.4 ppg- ranked 27th
2016-22.1 ppg , in the 13 games started by ryan, we avg 21.6 ppg.- ranked 19th
in 2017 with cutler we were ranked 28th, which as u can see above, is really not much worse than in 2012, 2013 or 2015. only season we ranked high with ryan was 2014.
so yes, we are ''better'' with ryan than cutler obviously, but our offense has been nowhere near good in the only thing that counts, which is the scoreboard, with ryan either.
