This probably isnt true, right?

It's Miami. It's gonna be difficult for anybody to establish a responsible culture there that is capable of the dedication it takes to win SuperBowls. I think the coach is pretty dang good overall, he might like Miami a little too much. The QB has talent, but is a pat on the head away from not speaking properly ever again. The players love Miami and for good reason, just not football reasons.

Personally I'd consider that overly harsh, it depends on what "disastrous failure" means.

If the Dolphins get blown away in every game despite Tua being under center, then fair enough, I wouldn't be surprised - if Tua stays healthy I don't see that happening though.

If Tua gets concussed again, I would put the season's failure on the lack of an experienced backup to a QB who is known to be very fragile (Tua has only completed one full season since entering the league). That's more of a GM issue than a coaching issue IMO, and in that situation I'd like to see what McDaniel could do with a QB that he either drafted or specifically traded for, rather than the guy that was there when he took over.

The young brilliant mind revolutionizing how the league plays offense part of Mike Mc has worn off. I'm not sure how many players are going to respect him when the wins aren't rolling in.

They may need a Man's man to coach them, not some kid in skinny jeans.

I do think he is smart, NFL is a tough business.

Plenty of players in the past have talked about how much they like him. Him being small is not the issue for the guy.

I cant help but feel he may have fallen off the wagon. Hes has substance abuse issues in the past and we cant deny that he looks very much different this year than in the past but that could be way off base.

It most likely is that he has not adapted yet to losing the ability to call cheat motion every other play paired with the fact they lost some O-line guys from last year. That and Tua missed some time and Tyreek not looking like Tyreek anymore.

Waddle having an absolute dog shit of a season blindsided me and a everyone else who watches them it seems. Like WTF is going on there? Maybe some injury he's playing through but he does not look like the same guy.

Their defense obviously is not as good as last year. Losing one of the best D-linemen in the NFL in C. Wilkens was massive and their best pass rusher J. Philips is out for the season. Chop Robinson has looked just as good as I thought he could be but hes still only a rookie.

Eli Manning is a weird one. Not really a spectacular player during his time, but he has two SuperBowl wins over the Patriots. He has a lot of passing yards and touchdowns. It's really difficult to say he is HOF worthy and somehow difficult to say he is not.
Without those 2 SB wins I don't think he gets in. For regular season stats he was fairly pedestrian.
