While the Dolphins are a terrible team--there's really no denying that--yes, one must recognize that just about everything bad that could feasibly happen to the team did happen to the team. There were so many injuries. I mean, let's put it this way; we had to bring Gado back only days after he'd been cut from the team because we'd lost all of our other running backs to injuries.Originally Posted by Bloodline666
Let's also not forget that injuries have certainly helped derail you guys. While I am counting my lucky stars that my team has the league's shortest IR list with two players, you guys' injury situation is so bad that Ricky Williams went on IR only six carries after being reinstated (which I believe could have been the result of an unsportsmanlike act).I do believe Beck was the twelfth QB the Dolphins have started since Marino left the team. While I agree that a solid franchise QB will be important to the team, there are also a lot of other problems that need to be fixed. Our best players on defense are either at or nearing the end of their careers. The offensive line definitely needs some work. Satale did a good job starting at center as a rookie, and more of the line needs to see that same kind of development. We need to make some smart draft picks (as far as I know, only one of Saiban's picks is still on the team) and trades to renovate the whole team. We have to be beyond trying to find quick-fixes with new QBs.
Also, Ricky got stepped on after a fumble. While the replay did make it look like the guy's foot was going a bit out of its way to land on Ricky's chest, I'm not going to go as far as saying it was foul play.
