The "win condition" for the 2025 Miami Dolphins

I don't think it is poor coaching but poor team building.  Grier consistently puts together that can be competitive if absolutely nobody gets injured, overpaying the top 20 stars and completely ignoring the rest of the roster.  Championships are not won by having the best starters but by having backups that can step in. 

I think having backups that can step in comes from having good coaching.  Starters usually have the most natural talent, competent backups come from working hard and getting good coaching.

While coaching matters, scouting and player selection matters even more with the bottom half of the roster.  Rather than identifying complete players you are assessing flawed players and need to identify which players my have unrealized potential and which ones have limited room for growth.

Looking ahead at the upcoming 10 opponents there are only two that I feel Miami has a chance at beating, the Saints and Jets.  With all the others Miami is an underdog, some a big underdog, that means we're looking at a 3-14 record.  At best there is a coaching and/or QB change that could eek out another two wins if opponents look past the Dolphins.  I'm not looking forward to Achane or Waddle being traded, hopefully that won't happen.  I'd be fine with Chubb being traded, even Sieler at this point since he seems to have fallen off a cliff.  Minkah can go also, I doubt he really wants to be with Miami anyways.  I wish they could trade Tua but they won't get anything but a late round draft pick AND they probably would have to pay part of his salary going forward.  The only way Tua gets traded is if a playoff team loses their QB to an injury.
