Miami 0-4 at bye week. What now?
With the Dolphins losing in San Diego in week 4, it left the Dolphins 0-4. Bottom of the AFC East, and tied for last place in the NFL. For Dolphins fans right now, it's an embarrassment. The Dolphins haven't looked good on offense and they can't score TD's. And the defense can't seem to come up with the big plays when they need to.
The Dolphins suffered a setback after the game with San Diego when they got the news that Chad Henne had suffered a separated shoulder and would need season ending surgery.
So the Dolphins are left with Matt Moore and Sage Rosenfels who they signed last week. Sounds real exciting doesn't it. Moore and Rosenfels. It looks like the Dolphins could be looking at a 0-16 season.
Tony Sparano is still the head coach in Miami which I believe is a miracle. But Sparano will be gone shortly after the Jets game, because I can't see this team go to New York and the beat the Jets, even though they haven't been playing well this season either.

Miami are in trouble, but would it be so horrible if Miami were to go 0-16 and finish last in the NFL. Lots of Dolphins fans are giving up on the season because they want Miami to draft Andrew Luck from Stanford. Stanford is rumored to be the next Peyton Manning and it would be absolutely ridiculous if the Dolphins were to pass up on him if they got the chance.
There are four or five teams that are in the running to draft Andrew Luck next year and they are the Colts, Vikings, Dolphins, Seahawks and the Chiefs.
Out of those teams, Miami has the best chance of drafting him. Let's face it; Miami has a difficult schedule ahead of them with only 2 possible wins ahead of them. Those games are against Denver and against the Chiefs.
It's not the best thing to consider, but should the Dolphins give up on the season and try to get Luck next and possibly have a franchise QB that they've desperately needed.
Only time will tell.
