Well, I don't think Kolb is as bad as he looked last season. The lockout had some fairly horrid effects on all but the elite teams, which just solidifies my opinion that the only difference between the elite teams and the also-ran teams is that the former have been together a long time under stable leadership. You saw what happened to the Colts when the heart and soul of their team, Peyton Manning, was taken away from them.
In the end, that's why I'm so bullish about Miami for this upcoming season. I think the first seven games were clearly their off-season, the time they took to get their crap together. With Matt Moore and a full off-season they're a 10-6 or 11-5 team, which considering the shape the AFC is in makes them a playoff team. Put Flynn or Manning in there and you have a team that can make a hard run at the ultimate prize. Don't get me wrong, I don't exactly regret last season's outcome, since it basically ensured Miami returns to the air-it-out offense that Miami was so successful with for so long. But they're no longer the joke the media has made them out to be and I think the only people who realize that are the personnel of the 31 other NFL teams.
