My point is exactly what you just said,a lot of fans (not just you),articles being written (IE Gregg Rosenthal on NFL.com.I like the Dolphins team more than I did before I did this,Joe Schad's similar article on the PBP)... To me all these things give the rest of the team a pass...Just like you said (I've seen it written about Parker too) Tannehill returning might help the Stills numbers.It feels like we're discounted the contributions,belittling the contributions of the guy's we've shed off this team..Landry,Suh,Cutler...Alonzo should be better,this year....Really? in '16 he was playing MLB,with Suh in front of him.Last year Alonzo really stunk a lot of the year,and had 2 experienced LB's playing next to him for awhile...Now? EEK.
For me,remember all the "rust" Cutler was supposedly needed to shake off? get his timing back,reading defenses,etc,etc...He played his last game for the Bears about 2 weeks before Tannehill got hurt.Cutler had 6 years of NFL experience reading defenses,playing QB,etc,before Tannehill was even drafted,to lean off to make shaking the rust off easier...
I admit, I don't listen to radio shows about the Dolphins, I read articles written,tweeted out.Talk Radio,I imagine might have more criticism of Stills,and Parker,but I don't like listening to that stuff.It tends to be like a make or break,they need to step up this year,but they really haven't done it in the past.Outside of that,there isn't a whole lot of "criticism" ...Err outside of me screaming and bitching constantly...
