    he’s 22 years old playing behind a revolving door of an offensive line with a glorified deep threat as his number one option with no talent over the middle with the exception of our oft-injured and forever in trouble tight end. His run support was nonexistent because of the aforementioned terrible line and a coach who can’t playcall his way out of a wet paper bag. As a franchise we've done absolutely nothing to set him up for success and he still cold flashes of brilliance at times and has proven he can be a starting quarterback in this league. And that’s at age 22 in his second year with everything working against him. Maybe we hold off a bit before saying he doesn’t see the field.

    I respect your opinion. You are almost always right.

    I realize that you're trying to make a point, but you're making it sound like Jamison Crowder either isn't on the team or isn't worth a damn, and neither is true.

    The good news is this off-season, and hopefully this draft, have been focused on the offense and improving around Sam. I have defended Gase due to lack of talent on the offense and last year's freak injuries, but he is going to have to step up this season as a Head Coach and Offensive Play caller for Sam.

    "Over the middle" was probably the wrong term. I was going for the lack of a possession receiver. What Q was supposed to be. Slot receiver it just about the only thing he HAS had which is baffling when you consider LeVeon friggen Bell is on the roster. And that just furthers my point of the franchise doing absolutely nothing to help him (minus Crowder) up until this point. That hopefully changes this year.

    The problem is I doubt he will step up. When your sitting on the bench by your self and not engaged then that is a major issue. When you have a QB that can make plays on the fly yet you try to prototype him into a Statue that is a problem. When you do not change your scheme to fit your players or adjust the in game play calling to the game dynamics that is a problem.

    I hope I am wrong, but he showed in Miami that he was not a good play caller or HC and last year was an extension of the same.

    not to make excuses but Sam did state he was already feeling ill during that game. Could have something to do with those misfires

    Yeah, that would be a big problem then. I am still unsure about Gase, but this season should show who he really is. If he is a bad Head Coach as many fans say, then it will be time to move on. Can't waste any more time. I think he will surprise people.

    or many people will be surprised... I think we've already seen the real Adam Gase. Its gonna be on him to show us a better year than his first.
