The Miami Dolphins are not a good football team right now but the future should be a bright one moving out of 2018 and beyond.

Stating that the Miami Dolphins football team is not good is a directed statement towards the massive injured reserve list that has sapped the team of playmakers on both sides of the ball. Miami is still in the hunt for a post-season birth and a win on Sunday against the Colts could help that drive.

Ryan Tannehill is back behind center for the first time since week five but he will be without his two top receivers in Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson who are both in IR. When it comes to Ryan Tannehill there are a lot of questions and he has become the fan bases whipping boy. Injuries have kept him out of the Adam Gase offense more than he has been in it and his future with the Dolphins is under a lot of speculation.

What is known is that Ryan Tannehill is not the player that Miami needs to build around. He is not a cornerstone piece for the future. Not anymore. Miami needs to find a quarterback for the future and even if Tannehill can string six straight wins on the way to the post-season, the Dolphins have to find competition through the draft in 2019. At worse find competition through free agency this off-season.

While Tannehill is no longer considered part of that cornerstone block, these ten players are the ones that could make Miami’s future far brighter.
