Offenses With Consistent Skill Players Win.

The Miami Dolphins are a passing offense, that much is apparent.  With both Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline signed to long term deals worth piles of money and an offense that by percentages threw the ball more than any other team in the league last year, it should be clear to Dennis Hickey how this team must be built.

Super Bowl winning teams don't always have prolific offenses, but they do have consistent offensive pieces.  Below is a list of Super Bowl winners since 2006, included is some players who they most relied on the offensive side of the ball and how long they had been with the team.

2006
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Hines Ward-8 years
Jerome Bettis-10 years
Alan Faneca-8 years

2007
Indianapolis Colts:
Peyton Manning-9 years
Jeff Saturday-8 years
Marvin Harrison-11 years

2008
New York Giants:
Eli Manning-4 years
Plaxico Burress-2 years
Shaun O'Hara-4 years

2009
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Ben Roethlisberger-5 years
Hines Ward-11 years
Alan Faneca-11 years

2010
New Orleans Saints:
Drew Brees-2 years
Marques Colston-2 years
Jon Stitchcomb-7 years

2011
Green Bay Packers:
Aaron Rogers-6 years
Donald Driver-12 years
Greg Jennings-5 years

2012
New York Giants:
Eli Manning-8 years
Brandon Jacobs-7 years
Hakeem Nicks-3 years

2013
Baltimore Ravens:
Joe Flacco-5 years
Ray Rice-5 years
Anquan Boldin-3 years

2014
Seattle Seahawks
Marshawn Lynch-4 years
Russell Wilson-2 years
Golden Tate-4 years

The stats show it all.

There are a few exceptions such as the 2010 Saints and 2014 Seahawks, which a generally both young rising franchises led by solid Quarterback play.  The Dolphins on the other hand have been anything but consistent.  In those years 2005-2014 the most consistent player that drove the offense was Ronnie Brown, and even he struggled to stay on the field.

With the Dolphins switching to a pass happy offense it would be highly advised to not only improve Ryan Tannehill's protection, but also to keep his targets in house and end 9 years of roster turmoil.
