I had a hard time believing Wilson would be able to keep up with Mahomes, Herbert and Carr in this division. 

McDaniels is having a rough outing with his second stint as a headcoach as well. It's just puzzling though. He's got a veteran QB with a decent track record, he has DaVante Adams at WR, Darren Waller at TE and Josh Jacobs at RB. 

They should be a lot better than 1 - 3 and I really believe they're better than the Broncos. Hackett is clearly in over his head out there in Denver though. If they don't hit at least .500 this year I could see him being fired already by the end of December. 

Also, if I am the Waltons? When they fire Hackett I am calling Brian Flores up first for an interview. That guy is a good football coach. Miami clearly has it's issues internally. It's continued to show just this year alone with the handling of Tua and his back-to-back concussions. I think Flores got a really, really raw deal.

I'm gonna be honest, and you're a guy I usually agree with most of the time.


I completely disagree with Hackett being in "over his head". It's early. I just don't think the offense has gelled. I think he's an excellent play caller, and Russel is an excellent QB. I'm willing to give it a little time.


I also disagree with your criticism of Miami. I do agree that Brian Flores is a good coach, but through the first stretch of the season, McDaniels has looked brilliant. He got extremely unlucky with the Tua situation. In fact, he did what I'm willing to bet 75%+ of the head coaches in the league would have done (and always have done) by taking a risk to start their franchise QB. And if we're being honest, most of the time, stuff like that never happens, and the QB is rewarded for being "tough". If you're alluding to the tanking allegations, sure you'd be right. I do agree that Flores got a raw deal, but that's business. Particularly at the highest level of football competition. If you've got a solid guy, but you've got a shot at an unproven guy with limitless potential, there's a decision to be made. Miami made theirs, and honestly, thus far I'd say they made the right one.
