Our Miami Dolphins wrapped up their preseason schedule this previous Friday night with a loss towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The workforce then returned to Miami, the place the entrance workplace wasted no time working by way of the roster by slicing a couple of gamers by the top 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 slicing of White left the Dolphins with solely two quarterbacks on the roster, starter Tua Tagovailoa and backup Skylar Thompson.
NOTE—Since scripting this put up, 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 sport 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/must see them add one other quarterback to the roster or the apply squad earlier than their week one sport? 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 in control on a considerably difficult 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 workforce will add a 3rd QB to the roster. I think that’s true, however that the third sign caller will likely be added to the apply squad.
It was simply 2 seasons that our Rookie third string QB began a pivotal sport for us. No approach they go with no 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 or not it’s a vet or a rookie ? A vet could come right here feeling he can compete with Tylar for the backup job. However i like the thought of discovering a promising rookie. Hope we discover the precise one going ahead. Drafting a QB subsequent 12 months will likely be in our greatest curiosity !
Miami7, in response to Dolfanjoe, agrees and likewise 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 workforce. Most definitely, any QB taken in these later Rds. is mostly thought-about a good larger longshot than the categories 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 sport and simply not make (rookie) silly selections….for a couple of video games. If Tua goes down long run it’s no completely different right here than in KC/Cincy/Baltimore/Buffalo, and so on. – we’re DONE FOR! JMO
21Dave desires some higher depth alongside the strains. That’s truthful; now, can we one way or the other get by way of to Grier?
We have to Purdge some vet OL and DL males at first. They only must mentor and fill in voids whereas taking 15-20 snaps a sport in aid occasions and never a extreme downgrade from our less-than-stellar starters. I’m not down as exhausting 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 most likely be faster with the reads. Not saying he’s nice, both. Sit these boys within the movie room and walk-throughs for the subsequent few days and allow them to do quite a lot of rehabbing. Now we have 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 definitely must signal a QB to the apply squad. Tua goes to get injured in some unspecified time in the future this season and Miami will want a third string QB.
phinette just isn’t bought 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 in some unspecified time in the future final season, it will be smart for us to have somebody at QB 2 who can run the offense. I’m undecided Skyler is the man however it appears to be like as if we’re operating with him. I might not signal White to the apply squad. Time to maneuver on. We must be monitoring very carefully the roster cutdowns of the opposite groups. Perhaps we are able to choose up somebody. I do assume it was a mistake to enter the offseason happy with our backup scenario, however alas, right here we’re. Phins up!
Thomas23059 desires a 3rd man.
They’ve a particular sport day roster spot that may solely be utilized by a 3rd QB. It could be silly to not have somebody for that spot. At this level, Mike White remains to be one of the best man for the spot, however which will change as different groups launch QBs.
EJPLAYA believes in Thompson!
The Buffalo playoff sport confirmed me Skylar may produce when it mattered. Let’s roll with who we’ve and attempt to choose up a developmental expertise to placed on the apply squad.
Luvs2drnk2.0, in response to EJPLAYA, just isn’t so positive.
I’m undecided why folks maintain pointing to the Buffalo sport as a purpose to maintain Skylar. In that sport 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 aspect of the sector and solely managed 14 factors. The Payments actually handed us the sport with 4 Allen TOs. Even a barely higher QB wins us that sport. With that being mentioned, I believe he’s superb 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 workforce to seek the advice of with him extra usually.
I really feel simply the 2 QBs will do. Nonetheless, the workforce by no means does what I really feel. So, I’m considering that finally there will likely 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 must be a couple of out there after Tuesday!
It looks as if the bulk is okay 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.
