Last night, I asked the question: If you had to narrow it down to just one decision, what is the single biggest mistake/dumbest decision that either the Miami Dolphins front office or coaching staff made that helped lead to the horrific season that we just witnessed?
62Lou believes the biggest mistake was not finding a competent backup quarterback. However, he ultimately thinks it all comes down to Grier not doing his job or at least not doing it well. Both are tough points to disagree with!
There are so many mistakes...(sigh) But Grier is the root of this entire mess.
If we just talk about this last season - the biggest mistake is NOT finding a decent backup QB.
Plenty of QBs the last few years were available Baker M, would have easily signed with Miami after he was kicked out of Cleveland - and later taken tua’s job.
The OL is a distant second. Sure they need to be better, but did we have any MONEY leftover after OVER spending on Tua, Waddle, Ramsey, and Hill - NONE OF THEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN extended. Waddle hasn’t been worth his new contract either. I would have “tagged him” for another year.
As to the OL - they played well enough to win 8 games (vs inferior teams) AND we don’t have ANY size at WR, RB or a big TE who can really block......so where is the help for the OL ?
Also - Only T-stead is OVER paid - so you get what you paid for here. I would not have resigned Wilkins or Hunt - too much and neither played up to their new contracts anyway.
you need to sometimes TRADE players you cant afford to resign (1 yr earlier) wilkins and Hunt both fit that category. Holland as well - now he cant be traded.
Grier....
holland182.0 sees the biggest mistake of the season as the giant contract they handed to Tua. Or was it picking him in the first place?
And with the 5th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft the Miami Dolphins select . . . . . .
Then doubling down on that mistake by signing him to an undeserved contract extension in July of 2024
USMCFinzFreak is on the F Grier train, with the F meaning fire or whatever else you want it to mean.
I can name a lot of single mistakes made, but the root of all these mistakes is Grier.
David7777 believes the biggest mistake was not fortifying the OL. I have to agree!
Single Biggest Mistake is Grier not Understanding the Importance of building a powerful O-Line
dolphinfan1323 agrees with David7777.
100 percent not investing in the offensive line it was completely trash you can put anyone back there you want at qb but behind this line it’s going to be a struggle.
DalFinsFan has drafting Tua over...
