The Miami Dolphins have finished the first quarter of the 2011 season so what better time to dive in and hand out grades.  I know, I know, the team should just get “F’s” all around and for the most part you might actually be right.  But is it fair to the other kids in the class?  I mean just because the other 2nd graders act up doesn’t mean they all will fail…right?  Right?

What amazes me the most out of this season thus far is the excitement that was rampant only a short four weeks ago.  Even after the Monday night opening loss to New England there was hope that this team simply struggled on defense against a very good offense.  Little did we know.  Would anyone have believed that the offense of the Miami Dolphins would be their bread and butter and not their defense?

Heck even the campaigning of “Suck For Luck” has lost some of it’s luster when you consider that of all the pieces the least of the teams problems is ironically QB.  It makes you wonder if trading out of the first pick would provide more building blocks in terms of draft picks…I did say “wonder”.  Let’s forget all the fluff and jump in and see how I grade the team through four weeks of play.  I am going to be unbiased we will see how much hate mail it generates.
