Good teams draft late and good teams know how to develop QBs instead of throwing them out to get killed from day one.
Although that is also more of a fun trivia fact for this season than any type of trend (and shows why bad teams often stay bad, by taking players like trubisky when watson is sitting there). Many top 5 picked QBs have also made the playoffs and been great, and when you are comparing the first 5 picks to the last 250 obviously there are more success stories based on the larger sample.

Name one coach who has done a better job than Brian Flores.

Considering most people had the Ravens as the third best team in their division, I'd say John Harbaugh is right there.

Harbaugh and/or Shanahan are going to win it. But isn't the job of the HC to get the parts to play better than their sum? This team lost 43 to zip to NE week 2 in Miami. They lost their 1st 7 games. They were being called the worst team, not just this season, but EVER. They end the year going 5-4 and go into Foxboro and beat them when the Pats needed the game, and Miami had nothing to play for. Is that not leadership? Is that not what you want your HC to be able to do? To fight no matter what?

If he has a good draft, he and the Dolphins could be a force to be reckoned with.

It's possible, but unlikely, that after an 0-7 start, the team said, "to hell with this guy" and ignored him as much as possible and improved on their own. Venn Diagram: people who see a team they think shouldn't be ready to play who "come out ready to play" and credit the coach, and people who have said things like, "I can't believe an athlete getting paid millions of dollars needs a coach to get him ready to play". |

Boy....not much rumbling from Dallas. Is it possible? Dare I say? Can it be?
Jason Garrett's job is....*gulp*......*hack*........SAFE?! Maybe they still keep him, but Jerruh calls the shots on coordinators? |

His team had expectations to be better than they were playing. Nothing positive was expected from Miami. He not only endured a depleted roster before the year started, but one that traded some of their best players during the year. He somehow got the team to play better on the fly.

Special mention should go to the Lions who spent several years trying to build from the wide receiver position first. That makes tanking for a QB look like a genius move!

Overall I'd say the only teams that feel egregious in retrospect, at least in the last 20 years, are Washington and Cleveland. For reference, Miami has taken one first round QB in the last 20 and it hasn't meant anything for them. |
