Our Miami Dolphins wrapped up their preseason schedule this previous Friday night with a loss in opposition to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The crew then returned to Miami, the place the entrance workplace wasted no time working by way of the roster by reducing a number of gamers by the tip of the weekend, together with backup quarterback Mike White. As everyone knows, White has now signed a deal to be a Buffalo Payments apply squad member since leaving South Florida. The reducing of White left the Dolphins with solely two quarterbacks on the roster, starter Tua Tagovailoa and backup Skylar Thompson.
NOTE—Since scripting this submit, the information that the Dolphins have signed a quarterback to the apply squad has been reported. Tim Boyle, a former NY Jets quarterback, was added. Boyle has not had an ideal time of it when he has performed in precise NFL video games. Let’s pray we don’t get to the purpose the place he’s somebody we should depend on in any recreation this season.
After the lower of Mike White, I requested the next query:
Are you snug with the Dolphins going ahead with solely two quarterbacks on the roster, or would you like/have to see them add one other quarterback to the roster or the apply squad earlier than their week one recreation? If you want that they had a 3rd QB, aka second backup, do you discover it practical to convey somebody in at this level and get them up to the mark on a considerably sophisticated offensive scheme in time to even make a distinction?
Beneath are a few of your solutions and ideas on the query of the day-
TheRoo1 believes that the crew will add a 3rd QB to the roster. I think that’s true, however that the third sign caller shall be added to the apply squad.
It was simply 2 seasons that our Rookie third string QB began a pivotal recreation for us. No means they go with out a third now.
Dolfanjoe agrees with me, with the one query left to be answered is who and from the place.
In fact we could have a QB on the apply squad ! The place we’re going to poach one from is the query mark. One other query is will it’s a vet or a rookie ? A vet might come right here feeling he can compete with Tylar for the backup job. However i like the concept of discovering a promising rookie. Hope we discover the correct one going ahead. Drafting a QB subsequent 12 months shall be in our greatest curiosity !
Miami7, in response to Dolfanjoe, agrees and in addition doesn’t agree.
Whereas I agree – I additionally don’t.
From the standpoint of have a look at our picks THIS 12 months….
Wright/Kamara/McMorris and the ‘2’ Washington’s. EACH of those man’s has a legit shot at contributing ‘THIS’ 12 months, whereas most years—-and probly together with this one—-ya have a look at 4th/Fifth/sixth+ Rd. picks as needle-in-a-haystack prayers to be part of the crew. Most actually, any QB taken in these later Rds. is mostly thought-about an excellent greater longshot than the kinds we drafted this 12 months. We actually shoulda taken a flyer on Fields….however JMO, we’d be higher served attaining a vet that may run a dumbed down model of the ‘O’, lean on the run recreation and simply not make (rookie) silly choices….for a number of video games. If Tua goes down long run it’s no completely different right here than in KC/Cincy/Baltimore/Buffalo, and many others. – we’re DONE FOR! JMO
21Dave desires some higher depth alongside the strains. That’s honest; now, can we one way or the other get by way of to Grier?
We have to Purdge some vet OL and DL males in the beginning. They only have to mentor and fill in voids whereas taking 15-20 snaps a recreation in aid occasions and never a extreme downgrade from our less-than-stellar starters. I’m not down as onerous on Skylar as some. We all know we are able to win with him, and let him get extra reps with the 1s he’ll in all probability be faster with the reads. Not saying he’s nice, both. Sit these boys within the movie room and walk-throughs for the following few days and allow them to do a whole lot of rehabbing. We have now a troublesome begin, and we want them to be able to go!! Phins Up!!
tpl says it WILL occur, so that you had higher be ready.
Miami actually must signal a QB to the apply squad. Tua goes to get injured sooner or later this season and Miami will want a third string QB.
phinette shouldn’t be offered on Thompson because the man to run this factor if Tua is out.
Provided that over half of the NFL groups had to make use of their backups sooner or later final season, it could be clever for us to have somebody at QB 2 who can run the offense. I’m undecided Skyler is the man however it seems to be as if we’re working with him. I might not signal White to the apply squad. Time to maneuver on. We ought to be monitoring very intently the roster cutdowns of the opposite groups. Possibly we are able to choose up somebody. I do assume it was a mistake to enter the offseason glad with our backup state of affairs, however alas, right here we’re. Phins up!
Thomas23059 desires a 3rd man.
They’ve a particular recreation day roster spot that may solely be utilized by a 3rd QB. It will be silly to not have somebody for that spot. At this level, Mike White remains to be the very best man for the spot, however that will change as different groups launch QBs.
EJPLAYA believes in Thompson!
The Buffalo playoff recreation confirmed me Skylar might produce when it mattered. Let’s roll with who we now have and attempt to choose up a developmental expertise to placed on the apply squad.
Luvs2drnk2.0, in response to EJPLAYA, shouldn’t be so certain.
I’m undecided why individuals hold pointing to the Buffalo recreation as a cause to maintain Skylar. In that recreation he accomplished lower than 50% of his passes and threw 2 INTs to at least one TD. He was given the ball THREE TIMES within the 2nd qtr on the Buffalo facet of the sphere and solely managed 14 factors. The Payments actually handed us the sport with 4 Allen TOs. Even a barely higher QB wins us that recreation. With that being mentioned, I believe he’s fantastic being the backup this 12 months. I absolutely anticipate them to take a QB within the draft subsequent 12 months (Third-Fifth spherical), and transfer on from Skylar.
finfanfromsiam had a prediction that didn’t age in addition to he has.
Alpha6 desires the crew to seek the advice of with him extra usually.
I really feel simply the 2 QBs will do. Nevertheless, the crew by no means does what I really feel. So, I’m considering that finally there shall be a Turd Ferguson.
daytonadolfan desires what I think will occur.
I wouldn’t thoughts them sticking a third QB to the apply squad, there ought to be a number of obtainable after Tuesday!
It looks as if the bulk is ok with Skylar Thompson because the second man up, however I wish to see one other arm added to the apply squad. Thanks to everybody who takes the time to learn our posts and share their ideas each night.
