Seems like a reasonable postulation to me...
To Tribe's point... the Redskins are much closer to being a good team than Miami is... and we also know that money talks. Philbin in MIA does not provide much of an advantage in any competition. The Redskins are probably a more attractive option to Flynn than Miami would be.
I don't think we're much closer to be a good team than Miami. In my opinion they were close to being a better team than we were by mid season.
1: Philbin is going to install a new offense. That, alone, sets Miami back.
2: A competent quarterback would have made a difference of up to 4 or 5 wins for the Redskins. Where would that have placed us?
3: The Redskins defense is going to be super solid next year, especially with any improvement in the d-backfield.
4: The O line, as evidenced by the last 3 games, is MUCH closer than anyone thought. There seem to be one or two hidden jewels there. One or two additional starters, and this unit is not only much improved, but appears to have significant depth. The running game was not a product of those impressive rookie RBs alone... they had to have holes. Still work needed, but I'm far less concerned than I thought I would be about this unit. Time spent together improves the pass blocking.
Keep in mind, we were short a solid and improving rookie posession receiver, an excellent tight end, a very solid LG, a DE who appears to be blue chip, and had multiple quality players running game to game.
I'm in no mood to offer a rebuttal. Let's agree to disagree.
