I will temper my QB grade with being grateful Tua is able to play and realizing he is head and shoulders above Teddy and Skylar. That being said, he proved his is knees and ankles below a franchise quarterback.

28-3 Dolphins @ Ravens
Last year, in my season ending post, I gave you my thoughts on the team and future. I concluded the post with “Find the right Head Coach. This will dictate the next 3-5 years. Will they finally get the next Shula? Or will they find another Gase?” Though two games is not a definitive sample to say “we’ve landed Shula Jr.” I believe, after watching this team, it is enough to confirm we don’t have another Gase.
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week XVIII vs Patriots
Find the right Head Coach. This will dictate the next 3-5 years. Will they finally get the next Shula? Or will they find another Gase?
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week XVII @ Titans
I have teeter-tottered all season about keeping Flores or letting him go. I outlined above what I would require for him to stay. If he baulks at any of the above, hand him his pink slip, pay him what’s owed and bid him good day.
Dolphins’ Demerits: Week XVI @ Saints
I know others have highlighted the 1-1 scenarios that still gets Miami into the playoffs, I don’t care about those miracle roulette wheel odds, win and you’re in. That is all. Unlike the majority of small businesses, No Help Needed, for the Fins. Grind these two games out. Earn it. Don’t stumble backwards into a forgettable post season appearance. Run head long at whichever team is waiting for you, scared of the team on a 9 game win streak.
