Brutally honest article about Grier and McDaniel as team builders.

    Just stating the obvious. With or without a healthy starting QB this team isn't built to compete w the league's best. It's a typical Dolphin roster, much better on paper than on the field, much better from April-October than November-January. As an organization you have to marvel at their ability to convince fans/media they're ready to compete over and over again without ever actually doing it. 40 years of off-season promise never realized, I'll never fall fall for it again.

    I agree to an extent. This is virtually the same roster as last year when we were Super Bowl contenders putting up 70 points. And I'm not even blaming the situation on Tua being out. We barely got past Jacksonville and got smoked at home by Buffalo with Tua behind center. Something's off with the coaching more than the roster imo.

    I think the 70 point game was the only time we had everybody healthy on the O-line. I think it‘s both, coaching and the roster, don’t know who is more to blame but Grier is the man in charge, so when in question, it should be him.

    No... those games were fool's gold. We destroyed bad teams, got exposed against good teams.

    Which is why we got bounced.

    This article isn’t saying anything I haven’t been beating my drum over for YEARS!!!

    OUR OFFENSIVE LINE SUCKS!!!!

    Until that becomes priority number 1…with the same urgency Grier used to get Hill, Ramsey and Chubb, it’s going to be dreadful especially if Tua can’t stay healthy. But even with Tua healthy, the offense has been anemic his first two outings.
