Dolphins expectations by Mike Gil

I keep hearing how Gaze is a QB guru and a great offensive coach and i don't doubt it, but come on the dolphins are or were in trouble and couldn't do much of anything and that's why we got Gaze because we suck. Now that been said, i have hope and i love the fins, but what should we really expect this year out of a 6 - 10 team (that's what we are till we start the season). If you think we can win 10 or 11 games then you are dreaming. As much as i want this team to win it's not wise to set yourself up for a heart break and history is with me on that because my heart breaks every year. So this year I'm trying to to set the bar low because unless Tannehill suddenly turns into Aaron Rodgers we are mediocre and thats what we are. I'm not trying to put are QB down but let's face it if he could carry the team he would but he is not that guy and even with Gase he needs help with the heavy lifting. What I'm trying to say is that there is to ways to get there 1 is to have a QB that can carry the team on his shoulders and makes other players better and 2 is to have a really good team that can carry the QB, to be honest ido not see any of those two things happening. As Gase may be it's a process and it will take time. But what the heck we have been waiting so long i will be happy if we show improvement and hold our own in the AFC East which let me remind you we are the celler and punching bag of the division (a fricking pinata) 1 division game we one last year maybe 2, all i remember is the pain of watching my loved team get beat. So my friends enjoy the football season enjoy the games but don't go crasy with expectations just cheer support and go ahead and talk smack to every team we play and if it works out great but don't set yourself up to get hurt keep in mind it's a building process so hope for the best but keep it real when it comes to what you should expect. It would be great if we surprise and surpass all expectations.

Mike, please go back to school and learn how to spell/write. Just pathetic!

Last year we were a 6-10 team that easily could have been a 9-7 team if the coaching had even been mediocre...the players also mailed it in after the season imploded with the Philbin experiment gone wrong...in saying that,I truly believe this is a 9-7 team on the rise...we are no worse than last year and in many ways better...with the new coaching staff,and dedication on the players part,I think we can turn the corner on mediocrity that has mired this team for so long now...the first part of the season is brutal though with the Seahawks,Patriots,and Bengals,all on the road to start...the season could go South very quickly,but let's hope not...!

Thats just brutal. I'm not disagreeing with you but i would've worded it to sound a bit nicer.

With the exception of 2nd cornerback I feel very good about all the starters. The absolute key is health, we cannot afford injuries ANYWHERE and especially not the OL. I like that Gase has already had veteran rest days. If healthy, I think we can beat anyone. I am looking forward to the Dallas game, I want to see our DL against the supposed "best" OL.

This really is the worst article I've ever read on this site. Grammar, spelling, syntax anyone? Phins up!

I disagree - the team's record is not predictable in any way in today's NFL.

The Dolphins have plenty of talent - and much better coaching.

We need to stay healthy - create some breaks - learn how to finish games.

Tannehill is, to me an unknown quantity because Philbin (weekend at Bernie's) was a corpse on the sideline and the locker-room. He collectively humiliated us Dolphin fans badly - so lets see what happens now that we finally put that stinking rotting corpse in the ground.

Welcome to the shark tank Mike. You will need some tough skin as not everyone will agree with you and as you read earlier, they can blast your writing skills. Don't let it bother you. Just keep on plugging away.
