As a Miami Dolphins fan, it was a pretty tough year to watch. We started just plain awful, including a 1-point loss to the lowly Browns, a game that Miami led the entire time. We let the Tim Tebow led Broncos makeup a 15 point deficit in about 4 minutes to steal a game, and the head coach was fired after about 10 or so weeks... just some of the low points. What do you see from this team in the offseason and in the next regular season: Who do you think, or who would you like to see them draft? Will Matt Moore be back at QB for the 'Fins next season, is he good enough to be an NFL starter? Who do you think will be the Head Coach in Miami come next season? Any other thoughts? Predict the Dolphins 2012-13 record... ? Better than this years 6-10?

Im pretty sure Chad Henne was the first Dolphins QB to lead the team in pass attempts in consecutive seasons since Dan Marino and Feidler, pretty sad. As for Matt Moore, he seems competent, no where near being elite or near that level, but he seems as though he can manage games better than Henne. I don't see Moore as "leading" the Fins to a bowl, but he may be able to "help" them get their. It would be nice to have a franchise quarterback once again.

I can feel that, less yardage as a player, but more TD's (point production) perhaps.

Gotcha, I still believe my assumption had some merit to it. I saw the word Patriot and jumped to an immediate conclusion that you must be a dang dirty Pats fan! You played us twice this year, once with Henne, once with Moore, who did/do you think is the better QB?

ur handle has the word "patriot" in it

one of my "Bold Predictions" for next season. Cam won't hit 4000 yards.

With the numbers he put up in his rookie campaign, one has to almost expect some sort of regression, especially in the passing yards genre, that wil be hard for him to match. His ability inside the pocket (he wasn't supposed to have any) and outside the pocket will help him maintain his current level of play. Newton is physically talented an tough beyond what is needed, and also about as motivated as a rookie QB can come. Next season he will need to put up staggering numbers again if the Panthers want to win, but as his team (hopefully) places some talent around him, less will be required of him. Yes his stats were amazing, but his team needed that from him, he needs a team that can do some of the work for him.

oh... a Pats fan.

I like that team very much, and the proposed move to grab Eli and Cruz I like as well, in one of my leageus my WR's are Colston and Cruz, I believe and hope in the Giants beating ATL.

are their any bonus's for picking players on winning teams, or do u just draft new team every week, staying under a given cap? The style I play in the playoffs often rewards choosing players from teams that go on to multiple rounds. Due to this, I will not pick Calvin Johnson despite being the most talented WR, i believe his team will lose in the wild card. Instead I will prolly choose Colston, whom I can see helping the Saints go to the superbowl. If the league does not have such bonus's I would likely play someone like Calvin instead just for the week, knowing I can grab someone new next week if he is gone, such as Welker or Jordy Nelson when NE and GB play, the tough part is managing your salary cap.

It doesn't really matter, the Superbowl is staying in the NFC again this year, Saints or Packers.

Playoff fantasy is too short to worry about a guy like Brady getting hurt, its go big or go home to me. Last year many of the top players were heavy on Green Bay players, they played from the Wild Card round all the way to the super bowl, earning x2, x3, x4 bonus's along the way. One might argue that choosing heavily from a team like the Saints, who have the potential to go to the Superbowl from the Wild Card round, just as Green Bay did last year. Picture Brees, Graham, Colston, Sproles and Kasay on your team in the final week, all having x4 bonus's; That is how people won with Green Bay players last year.

I am very interested to see how a team like mine that is very WR heavy will stack up against a RB heavy team, I will let you know after a couple of weeks of hopeful wins.

Full draft breakdown can be found in my sig.

the link wont bring me to your post

With pick #4 i was looking for AP, Foster or Rice, with them all taken i didnt like the other option of Mendenhall (doesnt pass catch) CJ2K (holdout issues) and Turner (see mendenhall). McCoy was an option but I dont think he will be quite as effective as he was last year. I understand my teams lack of strength of RB, I will have to wait and see if it is something I can over come I guess. I still have faith that Lynch and Addai will strong runners for me behind my strong line of WR's, they are both good pass catchers as well. Tomlinson i worry about as he is not the lead back, but his skills as a pass catcher and strong play last season should help. Green is struggling becoming a cowbell.

I can start 6 WR's

tho the move will leave u with perhaps 1 WR to many

i say make the trade, u have good RB depth already.

Its AP man, #1 draft pick for some time now. ADP & hightower > Blount & Ingram Calvin & Fitz > Wallace & Jennings Do you like RB's or WR's? is it PPR? Will Stafford stay healthy for Calvin?

I could be wrong, i have never done PPR, but at a full point per catch, i think the quality of my WR's will make up for it. 5 catches for 50 yards becomes 10 points all of a sudden.

if he starts week 1 its because his neck is good enough to go and we will play the full game, save a huge hit which cranks his neck and brings him back out. If he plays week 1, consider him to b the QB he usually is, if he doesnt start, hope you have a good backup.

Considering Quincy was coming at Brandon at a pretty high speed, Marshall was able to shove him aside pretty easily. My main reason for making this post is: due you think it was stupid of the Buccs to resign Q.Black and not Barrett Ruud who had captained their defence and led them in tackles for years. Im wearing a Marshall jersey as i write this so i obviously have mad love for him but I cant help but think Ruud would have made that tackle.

In PPR leagues he is an unabashed monster, but I do agree with you about him in Standard scoring leagues. The high amount of targets he sees still makes him a nice flex play on any week though.

Knox was had a slightly better fantasy year than Bess in 2010, but he only caught 51/100 passes thrown at him, barely a passing grade. Bess on the other hand catches almost everything thrown at him. Since you play .5 PPR having Bess might be more valuable if not consistent. Maybe im just a Fins fan who will argue whatever he can to make the Fin sound better.
