Ok, ok, I know it's an abomination of everything holy that us Phin fans have to actually sit here and watch as the Jets make an improbable march to the Super Bowl. On our home field no less! Isn't this the same Jet squad Miami beat twice this year?

We won't get into the possibility of the Jets actually making it to Miami for the big game because quite frankly, Peyton isn't going to let that happen. No way. No how. But, what does have me interested is reading several Dolphin and Jet websites and seeing the reaction of both fan bases in regards to the Jets deep playoff run. Most Jet fans, and even a pretty good amount of Dolphin fans seem to think that NY has passed Miami by and will keep them in their rear-view mirror for years to come. One Dolphin fan even posted a thread claiming that we are "3 years away" from being able to compete with the Jets. Again, wasn't this the team Miami beat twice this season? I'm here to get those Dolphin fans to step away from the ledge. There's no reason to jump, and Miami is going to be just fine. Yes, the Jets are in the middle of an improbable playoff run, but quite frankly, anybody who expects that to automatically translate into Jet dominance over the rest of the AFC East for the coming seasons is simply clinging to fools gold. A few reasons not to worry:

-Is Mark Sanchez really that great of a QB? Is he going to ever reach the status of a Top 5 QB in this league? I think the resounding answer to that is: NO! Personally, I don't think Mark Sanchez will turn out to be much more than a solid game-managing type of QB. Now don't get me wrong, with other pieces in place you can win a lot of games with a QB like that, but I still don't think he will ever be the "franchise" type of QB that the Jets thought they were getting when they moved up to take him. -The NY defense is Revis and 10 other guys who are ok. Not great, but ok. In all seriousness, Revis is going to be giving the entire AFC East headaches for years to come. He's got HOF written all over him. But that's just one player. Look up and down the rest of that defense. I don't see any other player on there that makes me think Miami is dead in the water for the next few seasons. Calvin Pace? Solid player, but not a game changer. Bart Scott? If he played as well as he talks, he'd be the greatest ever. Vernon Gholston? Been a resounding bust so far. Dwight Lowry? Solid corner, but not the shut-down type of guy that Revis is. Obviously with Rex Ryan at the helm, this is a solid defense, and simply having Revis allows them to do so much. However, this is the defense that Miami ran roughshod over during their first meeting in 2009. Who's to say we can't do it again?
