I agree Colonel. Hard to imagine 6 wins given the huge holes at DT and linebacker and an inept defensive coordinator charged with finding a way to scheme around these deficiencies. Offensively, with the exception of Drake who, if he can carry the load for 16 games, has the potential to be an explosive player, there isn't much in the way of dynamic play-makers. Again, I haven't been very impressed with Gase's play calling. Certainly not the offensive genius that was sold to the fans when he was hired. I have to echo an earlier comment that Gase owes his fortunes to Peyton Manning. Unless someone of Manning's talent falls into our laps (not going to happen), Gase will likely become the latest Dolphins head coach to be fired. Maybe not this year, but eventually. I'll admit he hasn't been helped by the piss poor drafting and free agency moves made by Grier and Tannenbaum but that's another story entirely.
