Aqua4,
I know we've had our differences, but those were just smack talk related and nothing personal. I know what's wrong with your team (it's not rocket science). The problem is Mike Mularkey. He is a terrible tactician. He was bad with the Steelers, he was bad with Buffalo, and BB has always owned him wherever he's been. The Phins defense is decent, I believe R. Brown is an elite talent. But instead of basing the O on Brown, MUlarkey and Saban keep throwing the ball with their gimpy QB. The season is salvageable for the Phins.
Step 1. Remove Playmaking from Mularkey
Step 2. Pretend Culpepper has an injury. This will give his knee time to fully heal while keep the jackals off Harrington.
Step 3. Start Harrington
Step 4. Run the ball 50 % of the time, and give Brown 25 touches a game.
With that prescription, an 8-8 seaosn is still within reach. Culpepper will be improved next season. Saban simply misjudged his QBs, and rushed Culpepper back. Same as Carson Palmer. Neither player will be successful until '07 due to aftereffects of their injuries.
