An in-depth analysis of the 2024 Miami Dolphins reveals key factors contributing to their 8-9 season and playoff miss. Despite standout performances from key players like Zach Sieler, De’Von Achane, and Jonnu Smith, the team faced hurdles that led to disappointments.
Impact of Backup QB Situation on Team Performance
The absence of a dependable backup quarterback severely impacted the team’s performance, leaving them scrambling to fill crucial roles. This glaring gap in the roster highlighted the need for better planning and strategy in managing team dynamics.
