A home game in Madrid! Awesome! We may actually have a home team advantage with more Dolphins fans than Commanders fans in Madrid than we would at home at Hard Rock, although it’s possible there are delusional fans who think because we beat the Bills that we’re on our way to the Super Bowl. Dolphins fans are some of the flip-floppiest people I’ve ever seen. If you’re insulted by this, then stop fucking flip-flopping! We hit rock bottom losing to the Browns and everyone, even the most absurd Tua stans jump of his wood. Now they’re beating their chest on top of the Panorama Tower in Miami like Tua is Tom Brady in his prime. Besides just gushing about Tua, they’re on the crazy train that this team is ready to make their move and defeat all comers and vanquish the AFC all the way to the Superbowl.
OK, let’s just gather ourselves for a minute. This is not a good roster, and yes, we’re probably going to beat the Comandantes en Madrid porque Los Comandantes suck way worse than our team currently does. The Commanders have lost 5 in a row, the last 4 by more than 20 points in each game. Without QB Jayden Daniels, the Commanders are lost. Marcus Mariota actually has a BETTER passer rating than Tua Tagovailoa, 91.9 vs 87.6. Put that in your Tua cigar and smoke it! There are just so many Tua fans on X that are beyond delusional. Tua is irrelevant, and the only reason at all he may return as the starting QB next season is because of his ungodly salary and cap hit. No one is trading for him, although I wish like hell someone would. Tua’s salary is also the main reason why the Dolphins may waste yet another season by retaining HC Mike McDaniel. That’s a big slap in the face to all Dolphins, even you Tua stans.
There’s a “Report Card” circulating around X that has the Dolphins as A+ according to NFL players. #1 in the NFL to the players in every single category.
Coach A+
Owner A+
Food A+
Travel A+
Weight Room A+
Treatment of family (Players families) A+
You know what? That’s great to see, it really. You know what else though? It’s time to get A+ rating from the fans by becoming a legit contender!
STEP 1 – At the end of the season, FIRE MIKE McDANIEL!!!
STEP 2 – Before the season ends, give QB Quinn Ewers playing time, preferably at least 3 games or more so you can see if this kid translates to a decent backup with starter potential or just a 3rd string QB that doesn’t need to make the 53 man next season
STEP 3 – While all this is happening, Tom Garfinkle and everyone who is qualified in the Dolphins Front Office should be researching, scouring the NFL to find our next GM. Once that list is finalized, they should begin interviewing these candidates so we have our new GM in place as quickly as possible to handle all the necessary steps to be ready for off season activities such as roster management and assessment, preparation for the 2026 Draft and anything else that needs to be done to be ready for next season
STEP 4 – Thank Champ Kelly for taking over mid season but let him know at the end of this season, his job is done and if he’d like to return here to Miami, it will be in a different capacity.
So, back to Madrid, where our Dolphins most likely will be 4-7 at around 1PM EST, or 10AM on the West Coast. I know some people are going to get excited that we’re BACK, and ready to be a Wild Card spoiler in the AFC. We might just see RT Austin Jackson and RG James Daniels on the field, and is it possible that with those 2, the offensive line will be better and complete? Sure, it’s possible, but it’s also possible those 2 are rusty, especially Daniels who missed tons of time after going out for the season with an achilles injury for Pittsburgh Week 4 of 2024. He played a couple of snaps for us before going out on IR (Imagine that??) in Week 1, so that makes for a lot of missed playing time and a lot of rust to shake off. We’ll have to wait and see. Austin Jackson was limited in practice so don’t expect him to play and James Daniels has yet to practice.
Los Comandantes feature a defense worse than ours, allowing 28 PPG good for 29th out of 32. Our Dolphins have a defensive surge lately and have moved up to #24. Hard to believe that the Commanders with the combo of Jayden Daniels/Marcus Mariota are actually ranked better than our Tua led Dolphins, Los Comandantes are #22 at 22.3 PPG while our Achane’s are at 25 at 21.0 PPG. Can you just imagine this offense w/o De’Von Achane? He’s the most impactful RB in the NFL right now outside of the Colts Jonathan Taylor. Achane has 785 rushing yards with a ridiculous 6.6 YPC and 5 rushing TD’s, and has an additional 325 yards receiving and 4 TD’s. He’s unbelievable, and he will an UFA at the end of next season unless we take of our 25 year old superstar next season. Thankfully, Grier isn’t here to tell Achane he’s “Earned the right to become a Free Agent”. Ugh!
I’m not going to discuss the 2 anchors, Former GM Chris Grier and current Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa. They are the culprits for the Cap Hell this team will be in for the ’26 season and beyond until all that DEAD CAP MONEY is gone from Grier restructuring deals and pushing money owed to the future when he’s smoking cuban cigars watching the games from his comfortable couch. If he gets another NFL executive job it will NEVER be as a GM, not by any NFL Owner with half a brain or more anyway. Tua will almost certainly be here in 2026, but once again, that doesn’t mean he has to be the starting QB if we have someone else worthy of replacing him. Tua is getting paid whether he starts or sits, and if you’re like me, you probably can’t wait for that show to end. No matter how far we get this season, I’d bet that when the chips are down as to whether we make the playoffs or not, good ole Tua will be there to let us all down, you watch!
FIND A GM, FIRE McDANIEL, PLAY QUINN EWERS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
BBM searching for some late round gems/draft diamonds. They usually come from the smaller schools. Many here, including me want a big WR.
BBM found one with some potential in Georgia State WR Ted Hurst, 6’3, 188 with 4.36 speed. Over the last 2 seasons he has 1889 yards receiving with 15 TD’s on a real shitty team.
I would take him in the 7th or make him a priority UDFA signee just due to the size and speed combo alone.
This draft is for coach Weaver…
1(11)Caleb Downs-SAF, Ohio St.
2(43)Anthony Hill, Jr-LB, Texas
3(75)Gennings Dunker-OT, Iowa
3(78)D’Angelo Ponds-CB, Indiana
3(95)Tyreak Sapp-EDGE, Florida
4(111)Malachi Fields-WR, Notre Dame
BTW, Downs and Hill,Jr were my top 2 favorite defensive players going into the season.
I could go for that! I like it, Rich!
M – I hear ya on Weaver. I’m not sure I’m as high on him as you are but I think this team is in such a bad place. They want to keep McDaniel because of Tua. If they like Weaver, how do they keep him in the loop? Is Weaver still under contract next season? I just hate that we have to bring back McDaniel because of Tua. He’s not even close to worth it. Listen, I understand we’re paying him ridiculous money but why compound the mistake by pushing back any progress you can make to getting the franchise back on the right side by having less than the most qualified person making the picks for a HC that might not be there at any time during the season as well as a QB who almost certainly won’t be there beyond ’26. Can that all be worth it just because you feel the need to play Tua because of the mistake we made in overpaying him? I can’t wrap my head around that
Tua is damaged goods, let’s just cut ties at EOY and call it a failure
I would do a fucking back flip if we did that. Why go through all these machinations and sacrifices for a guy thst more than likely has one more season with this team?

Where did we get the talent if the front office is incompetent? Something doesn’t add up? It’s never been about talent more so than health and poor coaching until recently. IMHO!
You can’t just acquire talent and call it good
There has to be a plan, our FO/HC has no plan, or if they did it wasn’t a good one
Why are the Steelers good year after year? They have an identity, that every HC has to adhere to
Like I have been saying, it’s a coaching issue with regard to how the talent they had has been underutilized, along with injuries. Anybody can see the incompetence of our HC even in our last win. The guy is not a good HC. But the owner likes him, so it is what it is.
You can agree to disagree, but that is how I see things.
De’Von Achane should be the highest paid player on this team right now. Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers could do what Tua is doing right now, but no one on this roster could replace De’Von Achane
“Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers could do what Tua is doing right now”
It’s comments like that that make it hard to take you seriously. Your hatred for Tua is unnatural.
I also think Jaylen Wright is grossly underused! Eventually, Achane will suffer an injury due to being overused and his size. They need to spread the ball more among our 3 very good RBs.
Don’t get me wrong I agree that Achane is special.
“Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers could do what Tua is doing right now”
——-
MikeE, I am not so sure about that. Zach Wilson has only been able to throw 11 INT’s in a season and that was his rookie year where he threw 11 INT’s in 13 games. Tua has 13 INT’s in just 11 games.
Also, in the 34 games Zach Wilson has started in his career he only has 3 games with 3 or more INT’s. In Tua’s last 22 games he has 4 games with 3 or more INT’s.
See, he is not quite on Tua’s level…
Who says stats don’t matter? lol
Tua Tagovailoa’s career win-loss record as a starter is 42-31 as of November 2025, according to StatMuse. His overall record with the Dolphins is 44-31.
Nuff Said!
Zach Wilson has a career win-loss record of 14-22 as a starting quarterback through the 2023 NFL season. This includes a 3-10 record in his rookie season in 2021, a 0-9 record in 2022, and a 1-3 record in 2023.
Quinn Ewers does not have an NFL career win-loss record because he has not played in an NFL game. He was a seventh-round pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2025 and his NFL debut was on October 19, 2025, where he served as a backup for the Dolphins in a loss.

——————
100%, Achane 26 touches, Gordon 9 touches and Wright 1 touch in the last game. That’s not good. In short yardage situations, those snaps should be Gordon or Wright in there who both can run with more power.
Some of you sound so foolish trying to compare the stats of our backups to Tua. Since 2000, when he was drafted, Tua has the 11th-best win-loss record among quarterbacks in the NFL.
I would have no issue if your arguments had some merit but this Tua hatred is overblown and very inaccurate. Despite his poor performance this year.
His record against winning teams is atrocious, which basically makes all the other stats useless. In addition, Tua has been relegated to game manager and didn’t even throw a pass in the 4th quarter of the last game
Let’s see how the season unfolds he has earned that right because he has played above average throughout most of his career so his struggles this year for whatever reason (which might include our offensive line issues) seems to be improving of late.
Markey – Reading comprehension is important. I said right now. I think either Wilson or Ewers could manage a 4-7 record with 17 TD’s and 13 INT’s. Maybe they could do even better. I’d absolutely love to find out!
There is plenty of time to find out about Ewers next season. The team’s best chance to win is with Tua, and despite your giving up on them, the Dolphins players and coaches have refused to give up and are playing well lately.
Too late, they have wasted the season already. The best thing for the TEAM would be to lose out the rest of the year. There is NO BENEFIT in winning 4 more games. Grier was awful and we are paying for it now and next season as well.
You are only interested in change and want the team to foolishly waste time experimenting with Ewers, so they lose and justify what you want for the team to fire MM.
https://phinphanatic.com/dolphins-biggest-draft-gamble-looks-exactly-how-fans-feared-it-would?page_source=v_recirc
YUP, thank goodness he is gone!
As far as talent, Tua is a very average NFL QB. As far as being a leader and franchise QB, he completely sucks. There is absolutely no reason to keep this turd around. Unfortunately we may be stuck with him for another year. I’d try to get rid of him any way I could, but I’d cut him right now, if I were in charge.
That’s why you are not in charge you have poor judgement!
I just saw QB Hendon Hooker had a tryout with the Seahawks. I would sign him to the practice squad to get a look at him. If I liked what I saw, I would then sign him to the 90 man roster for next year. Then draft a 4th QB. I believe Hooker was Jared Goff’s backup last year.
Focusing on a QB next year is a waste of time!
Some of you are so confused, when a ROOKIE plays poorly, you are ready to call them a bust, but when a rookie plays good, some are saying let’s wait 3 -4 years to see..
The miake IMO was not drafting Jonah Savaiinaea but putting him on the left side of the line, where he never played at the LG in college. He should have been put at RG, and they should have moved veteran Guard James Daniels to LG.
This kid is a rookie, and some develop slower than others, but it’s way too early to call him a bust! Just 3 months into his NFL career.
The mistake was two fold.
1. Picking Savaiinaea before Tate Rutledge or Dillan Fairchild who were both better prospects than him and who are both playing MUCH MUCH MUCH better than him. (Savaiinaea is the WORST Olineman in the league so far this season! It is comical watching him!)
2. Trading a 3rd and 4th round pick to move up to take Savaiinaea when there were no other linemen taken between where we traded up to and our original pick. (could have drafted two more players on rookie contracts, potentially improving the team, while lowering the salary cap, but we threw those picks away to take someone who would have been there anyway!!)
There IS someone who is confused, but it is not me.
Markeyh, I was just clowning around with the Tua/Wilson stats. Geezzzz
Understood. But some here are so ridiculous with their hatred of our QB, it’s hard to tell.
Markey,
Jonah played, I believe, over 1000 snaps at guard in college. I believe it was at RG. But, he also played LT. How on Earth did he ever play LT. Oh my gosh….its a miracle!
This BS is getting old. If you had the ability to watch play and correctly evaluate it, you’d see Jonah doing so many things wrong and understand it isn’t about where he’s playing. It’s horrible technique and feet of stone. Your judgement is moronic.
And I’ll be okay with my evaluative skills.
Your evaluative skills? ROFLMAO!!!!!
Nuff Said!
And No, he never played at LG EVER!!!!! Why make him do it on the next level? If he is as bad as you say, that is a coaching issue if you ask me.
Markey,
How do you explain the fact that Tua is ranked in the middle to bottom of the pack of QBs depending on where you look. What proof do you have to support your evaluation of him being any good? Without excuses, as ALL QBS have to deal with issues that negatively affect their play. There is plenty of of bad OL play out there.
Just solely based on Tua’s performance since you must watch it very closely, how do you explain his mediocre evaluation by almost everyone on the planet?
Maybe the fact that he has been without two of his starting O-Iinemen since week one? That would be a start…..
Also, the mistake of playing a rookie o-lineman at LG, where he never played?
Markey,
They wasted multiple picks on a guy they could’ve probably drafted 30 picks later. He was gonna play one way or another simply because of the equity spent on him. Then, they probably saw right away in practice that he sucks and thought it would be a very bad idea to put him at RG, which is Tua’s blindside once they knew Daniels was out. So, the only option they had was LG, which, if he’s a professional OL should be no problem to pick up.
Should they have put him on the bench when the kid sorely needs snaps? Should they put him on Tua’s blindside and let his poor play have an even bigger negative impact on your offense and QB? What would you do?
Randy, don’t you know? Markeyh would have coached him up!
No, he would have been put in at RG from day one if it were my decision and if he was qualified!
then he would be on the bench, or getting blown up on the right side.
You play him where he hhas most of his experience from college or don’t play him at all!
Markey,
That’s an excuse. Base your evaluation on Tua’s play. No excuses….since as anybody understands football is fluid and there are always things you need to overcome. The OL for instance needs to overcome Tua’s lack of mobility and inability to move in the pocket.
Your no excuse is my fact!
Daniels is one of our best O-Linemen, and Jackson is more than good enough on the right side of the line. Without the starters, it has made Tua uncomfortable at the line, and with all his liabilities, he is panicking and has made poor decisions to avoid being hit.
Both Daniels and Jackson will be back sometime after the BYE, and I will judge Tua’s performance then.
Focusing on a QB next year is a waste of time!
———
Why? That makes no sense Markey. Next year we only have Tua and Ewers. You need 3-4 for the offseason/TC. Hooker was a talented QB at Tennessee and backup for the Lions last year. We will need someone to battle Ewers for #2 QB. You want that to be just a rookie. Go ahead but that’s not being a good GM.
God forbid, what if Tua gets another severe concussion and decides to retire. You’re behind the 8 ball because you weren’t diligent to improve the back end of the roster.
A GM isn’t doing their job if they are not trying to fill holes to make the team better 24/7.
You have to focus on every position every year to try and make that position group better. Some groups just have higher priorities over others. Thoroughly doing your job as a GM is not “a waste of time”.
Because Tua is our starter next year and Quinn Ewers might be the backup if they don’t bring back Zach Wilson next year, which is a possibility. So at best, they are looking for a third QB that they can get in the later rounds.
There are so many needs to address in 2026, Quarterback not being one of them.
2027 is when I expect we will be looking to get a new starting QB unless Tua rebounds and gets back on track throughout this year and next.
Markey – You want to talk about wasting time? We’ve wasted what will be 6 years with Tua and we’ve seen his ceiling and now we’re basically seeing where he is now, a game manger QB. You need to try and do better, whether it’s Ewers or Wilson, give them playing time and see what happens. Wins don’t mean squat right now, this team is a trillion miles away from being a legit contender
That is where the disconnect with you is: Wins do matter because they still can make the playoffs. Though it’s a very slim shot, it is still a possibility!
You have an agenda, and you want this team to lose so badly that it has clouded your judgment.
Making the playoffs back-to-back in 2022 and 2023 for the first time in 20 years was not a waste of time to me. And had it not been for injuries, we would have made the playoffs last year also.
What many of you seem to forget is that Stephen Ross just gave Tua an extension and he wants to get his money’s worth out of it, so Tua, unless he is injured, will be our starting QB in 2026 GUARANTEED!
So why waste time thinking about a QB in 2026, when addressing other needs in 2026 is the wiser move?
Hello? Because he is one concussion from retiring. Yeah, he will be the starting QB next year. If you don’t improve the back end of the roster at QB your season is done if he gets hurt. See 2024 season.
Zach Wilson is NOT coming back. He already will be killing us with dead money at 1m a year through 2029 thanks to Grier.
Again, you are failing miserably as a GM if you are not addressing QB in 2026 to have much better depth behind Tua.
We can agree to disagree
1m a year? Wow!!!!
Well, 950K a year. I just rounded up.
I am of the belief that Tua when everything is going well and he is properly protected is a top 10 quarterback in the NFL
Rock,
I feel like the coaching/talent discussion has become the new chicken/egg conversation. Lol
I feel the level of coaching has not been at the level of the talent this team has had over McDaniel’s tenure. He is a below-average HC in way over his head.
Many of you have failed to take into consideration what Tua has been through this year. He lost two of his best O-Linemen in week one, who have yet to return. He also lost his top WR, Tyreek Hill, in week 4, who is a top WR in the league.
Tyreek was also our best offensive weapon, no matter what anybody says.
There are some here who feel Ewers is the answer, so why waste money on a QB in 2026? 2027 is the time to think about drafting a QB high if Tua fails to deliver in 2026.
2026 should be about adding more talent on both sides of the line.
I agree, see my previous mocks. Though, we have no clue about Ewers and I don’t see where anyone feels he is the answer. They just want to see what he is.
Or we could use your logic you use for the QB position. Maybe we should not address OL at all since we have our entire original starting OL returning next year; PP, Jonah, Brewer, Daniels and Jackson.
That makes no sense, right? Same with not addressing who is going to backup Tua.
Like I said, we can agree to disagree if I would GM I would not worry about our starting quarterback for next year I would address every other position of need as I do not see the quarterback, especially our starting quarterback as a position of need in 2026
Markey,
We have 2 guys I’d consider really good. Waddle and Achane. That’s it. Everybody else on this team is an average player. People are jumping on our LBers jock like he’s elite, but he’s not.
I think we’ve had 4 or 5 all pros in the last 5 years…and a couple of those were ST players…..so where’s all this great talent?
Markey,
I gotta say; you’re bringing back memories of some of the old chat days. Nostalgia matters to old people like me! Lol
Mee too my friend! I am 64 years old myself…
beating our heads against the wall in a circular motion?
If you had something better to do you would do it! 🙂
Looking at this current Roster should give you an idea where our attention in the next draft should be. Still on the defensive side by the majority trying to get younger.
You want to talk about going in circles? Markey, you continue to berate the job McDaniel has done with Chris Grier’s “Talent” yet you must bring him back as the Head Coach for Tua. How that makes sense I’ll never understand. “Shitty Continuity” maybe?
I actually want a clean slate and not have anything from the previous year to do things right. Since it is obvious that Tua is coming back, I say bring back McDaniel as well and the current temp GM, and let them sink or swim next season. Because ultimately I just want a winning team.
If we didn’t have Tua coming back, I am all in on your viewpoint.
Ok, I feel a little better now. I can live with that answer
Markey be like:
The rest of the board be like:
That’s accurate
I can see that as having some truth 🙂 🙂 🙂
Like Randy said, reading the last couple hours was like a blast from the past on the old boards, lol.
I am who I am LOL!!!!
Looking at this current roster, we need to be looking for YOUNG WRs / CBs/Safeties / LBs / DE/ Young FB / C / RT to start out with in both free agency and the draft.
That is what I would do as Miami GM
But, but, but, we have a “starting” FB on the roster in 2026. We don’t need to address that position. That is not logical.
We have our starting LB’s. We don’t need to address that position. That is not logical.
We have starting Center Brewer and backup Center Meyer under contract next year. We don’t need to address that position. That is not logical.
We have our starting RT returning. We don’t need to address that position. That is not logical.
Our full-back is 29 years old; it’s time to look for his replacement.
Our starting LBs are all close to 30 years old
Brewer is also 29 years old
Our Rt is 28 years old
It’s time to draft their future replacements next year; that’s what good drafting does: they plan ahead a year or two.
Markey, again, you are stuck on “starting” QB. You need SOLID depth at QB.
Based on your logic we have Tua and Ewers so we don’t need to address QB. So:
We have our entire starting OL returning so we don’t need to address the OL.
We have our current starting WR’s returning so we don’t need to address WR.
We have our top 3 RB’s returning and FB so we don’t need to address RB.
We have our entire starting DL returning so we don’t need to address the DL.
We have our starting ILB’s returning so we don’t need to address ILB.
We have Chubb, Chop and Carter returning at OLB/Edge so we don’t need to address Edge.
We have Minkah, Trader and Colbert returning so we don’t need to address Safety.
We have Duck, Brents and Marshall returning who all have started games so we really don’t have to address CB, but Brents and Marshall were backups so I guess we need to address CB.
Only returning TE right now is Conyers.
You say, “2026 should be about adding more talent on both sides of the line.” By your logic, we don’t need to add more talent “on both sides of the line” because we have all our “starters” both on OL and DL returning.
Again, going by your logic for the QB position, we only need to address TE and CB.
No, that is what you are saying.
Read my post directly above this one……
We need to add more young talent to supplant the older players, just like we have been doing the last couple of years.
Kong,
The other day when Markey and M13 started going back and forth I swear to God it triggered me! LMAO
Just screwing around of course, but it definitely touched a spot in my brain. Lol
😂
When I hear people say ya gotta keep a coach because of a certain player or vice versa….it comes off as a weakness. You’re a professional. The reality is that change is a part of any job…and especially the NFL. If you can only perform with a certain coach or player with the other then I don’t want you. It doesn’t make me want to keep you. It makes me ask why you, as a professional, can’t do your job with whomever you work with. You know….like everybody else in the World does. Because like it or not…it is going to happen.
100%.
You are entitled to your opinion even though I disagree. What legitimate GM would want to come into a situation where they are forcing the same QB and HC that doomed the last GM?
They would want a clean slate, and that is not available next year.
Markeyh, I am right with you on your positions of need except a FB. We have Ingold another year. Do you really think we need to address a backup FB who won’t even be on the 53 man roster over a #2 QB? I say #2 QB because we don’t even know what Ewers is about.
Then, you list all these other positions who have starters (except CB) and don’t even mention TE. We have ZERO starters returning at TE next year. Actually, we only have UDFA Jalin Conyers returning at TE who has never played an NFL snap, not even in the preseason.
But backup FB is more important to TE and a #2 QB. Got it!
Full back is not a high priority and could be addressed in FA rather than the draft unless it’s a late round pick. But it’s a position that I feel needs to be addressed unless the next HC doesn’t use a FB. But if MM is here, it should be addressed.
I actually didn’t address the TE that much in my post.
But we all know they will address every need they feel needs to be addressed.
Did you guys see the picture of Bill Belichick at his girlfriends cheer-leading competition? That is even bizarre to write. LOL 73 yo guy looking miserable at his 20-something yo girlfriends cheer-leading competition.
It just shows how creepy BB is.
Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks gets second AFC defensive player of the week honor
Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article312979235.html#storylink=cpy
Talk about well-deserved.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after his monstrous performance in the 16-13 victory over the Washington Commanders. His 20 tackles (10 solo) not led all defensive players in Week 11 but set a season high. This is the second time that Brooks won the honor in 2025. His previous recognition came after he recorded 18 tackles during the Dolphins’ Week 4 win over the New York Jets. Brooks also happens to be the first Dolphins player to record multiple games with more than 18 tackles in a season since 2000 and the first player to do it leaguewide since the Denver Broncos’ Alex Singleton in 2022. Brooks’ 20 tackles were the most on international soil since the NFL began to play regular-season games in 2005

More reasons to support this team as a fan!
Any good GM drafts a year or two in advance of the need, so a rookie can spend their rookie season adjusting to the team and the league and gradually develop that player.
My projections are based on the age of our starters and finding their young replacements a year or two before they retire. So they can be developed.
I think it’s comical that people look at the Bellicheat situation and say he’s the creepy one. She’s taking advantage of an old, rich guy. How is that not just as creepy? They’re both using one another. So be it. It is what it is. They’re both consenting adults…more power to them!
Because she is young and obviously immature, that is totally different than a grown ass man who is in his 70s!
I don’t know how immature she is, she seems to run things in that relationship. Did you see the interview where she sat off camera and told them what Bill could and could not talk about?
Maybe her age is the giveaway! Just saying?
No matter how you spin it, that relationship can only be described as abnormal!
Markey – What if the Dolphins did earnestly do a deep dive for a GM and went into the interviews saying, “Look, Tua is going to be on the roster unless you can find a suitor. On the other hand, just because he’s on the roster, if you want to draft a QB and you want that QB to play, that’s up to you, as long as you feel like it’s best for the team now, and for the future”. Is that really so far fetched?
If it were only Tua maybe not but MM also? I think not!
Markey – You’re assuming that MM is part of the plan. What if they really want to do things right and they’re going to give a new GM carte blanche to do as they please. We won’t know if Ross is demanding MM comes back until the end of the season. I do think there’s a chance MM comes back, but I also think there’s a chance Ross might want to find a GM to come in here and reevaluate everything and keep what he wants and dispose of what he doesn’t
You obviously are not paying attention…..MM is here next year and potentially beyond. Mr Ross is extremely loyal to the people he likes, and that is how MM is described by many as being well-liked by the owner.
Markey,
You talked to any 20-something year old women lately? They believe they rule the World and know everything. I doubt they would agree with you. I’d bet she knows exact what she’s doing. Lol
Besides, belly may be senile at this point. It could simply be case of elder abuse? Lol
That is why we have the word immaturity, it’s like an unripe fruit!

Our full-back is 29 years old; it’s time to look for his replacement. Our starting LBs are all close to 30 years old. Brewer is also 29 years old. Our Rt is 28 years old. It’s time to draft their future replacements next year; that’s what good drafting does: they plan ahead a year or two.
—————–
Tua will be 28 at the start of the new league year. He has a severe injury history. He can be done at any moment for the rest of his career. Maybe we should improve on who the #2 QB will be before we try to find his replacement in 2027. Even the replacement will need a solid backup.
BTW, our starting LB’s, Dodson is only 27 right now and Brooks only 28. Dodson is closer to 25 than he is to 30. Brooks won’t even turn 29 until half way through next season. Brewer is NOT 29, he only just turned 28 three weeks ago. Also, 28 is not old for an OL.
I am not disagreeing with you on those positions to replace or find depth. Just all the reasons you give are true to the backup QB position as well.
That is why I always say we can agree to disagree. I see no need to address the QB position in 2026 more so than in 2027, unless Tua is not coming back.
I think it’s comical that people look at the Bellicheat situation and say he’s the creepy one.
———
If I was single and had a bunch of money, I could only hope there would be a young woman who would want to take advantage of me.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand it, just would not do that myself.
I wouldn’t either
The current interim GM will do all he can to convince Mr Ross to keep him, and having the back of the HC, whom the owner apparently likes a lot, is a wise move on the interim GM’s part.
That is why I always say we can agree to disagree. I see no need to address the QB position in 2026 more so than in 2027, unless Tua is not coming back.
————
Markey, so you do not think we need to ensure we have a solid backup QB in 2026. Do you not remember why we missed the playoffs last year? It was because we had no solid backup QB for all those games Tua missed.
What if that happens next year? Do you not want to win next year even if our starting QB gets injured? I think you would as you have been on many peoples ass this year for not wanting the team to win.
We have many starters returning next year. What if everyone is staying healthy and we are 7-2 by mid season. Then Tua goes down and is on IR for the rest of the season. We end up going 2-6 over the rest of the season because we did not address backup QB and miss the playoffs. Would you not be pissed?
Moving aside from the discussions of who should be fired and who should stay
it’s worth commenting on some really good performances by some players
Jordyn Brooks
and
Da’Von Achane
it’s been a while since we’ve seen a RB or a LB play this well
for this team
they’ve both been unbelievable
Yes, they have been playing exceptionally this year. I still say they need to spread the ball at the RB position more evenly to protect Achane from a serious injury.
And that is hard to say, considering Achane is on my FF team 🙂
I would have no problem with bringing back all 3 QBs next year if MM is here. I happen to think this is the best QB situation he has had since being here.
Have both Ewers and Wilson compete for the backup QB position in 2026.
If Ewers beats out Wilson, then cut Wilson and bring in someone else to challenge Ewers in 2026.
That would just create dead cap we can’t afford.
Yeah, the problem with that is the Wilson money. There were better and cheaper options than Wilson the past offseason. There will be again this offseason.
No one can tell me that Zach Wilson was a better option than Mac Jones. Wilson cost us 6m for 1 season. Jones only cost the 49er’s 8.4m for 2 years and has won games for them.
Hopefully we can find one to be back backup next year.
I am not sold on the better part, but cheaper, maybe, but we are talking about our backup QB position that, with Tua as our starter, is much more important than the average team.
Markey, here’s one thing we can agree on. Thank God neither you or me are the GM of the Dolphins. lol
We all have similar wants/ideas for the team. That’s one reason I have been here so long. To agree, disagree, cheer, piss and moan with cool Dolphins fans. lol
I 100% Agree! LOL
Zach Wilson has a one-year, $6 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, with a potential value of up to $10 million including incentives. This new deal was signed in March 2025, after the Denver Broncos declined his fifth-year option in 2024, and his salary for the 2024 season was split between the Broncos and the New York Jets.
I don’t think that is too much to pay a backup to Tua.
You want to give him another contract like that on top of the 4m in dead money he is getting over the next 4 years, no thanks.
There will be someone better and cheaper.
Yes
Yes, I would bring him back!
https://thechive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/nfl-memes-week-11-15.mp4?attachment_cache_bust=5132487
lol
After beating the Seahawks this weekend, Matthew Stafford is now 116-115-1 all time. THIS is the FIRST TIME in his career he has been over .500.
Crazy!
And he’s a much better QB than Tua ever was or will be
Markey, I also agree we need to move on from Ingold. He is done, IMO. He will no longer block anyone straight up. I know it has to be due to the concussion he got earlier in the season. That is why he whiffed 4 times the last game. He does not square up his blocks anymore. He tries to get a glancing blow with his shoulder and misses.
There was one play on Ryder’s post game video. I think we were just inside the 10 in the red zone. It was a run up the middle that got stuffed. Ingold got to the hole and just ran to the left with a defender right in front of him who got in on the tackle. Then he kept running to the left of the hole and threw a glancing arm at a LB. The LB didn’t even have to dodge him. Then, Ingold kept running to the right until he was off the screen. I was thinking to myself, “Where the F is he going?”
That is a position we can address in FA, 7th round or UDFA.
Cutting Ingold will clear 3m in cap. Do it and don’t look back.
Markey – Stephen Ross called you and told you Mike McDaniel is staying?
Maybe he called you and said he is gone?
Despite some periods of frustration, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has reportedly stood by head coach Mike McDaniel and believes in him. A recent report from November 2025 indicates that Ross wants to retain McDaniel, even amid other front-office changes.
Ross’s support has had its limits
Ian Rapoport (NFL Network) September 2025
Reported that Ross “likes him, believes in him” and does not want to fire McDaniel, despite the team’s poor start.
Now that Miami has won 3 of its last 4 games, what makes you think Ross has changed his opinion?
Dolphins Make Roster Moves
Nov 19, 2025 at 03:59 PM
The Miami Dolphins announced today they have signed cornerback A.J. Green off the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad and placed cornerback JuJu Brents on the injured reserve list.
Brents has appeared in 18 games with 11 starts in three seasons with Indianapolis (2023-24) and Miami (2025), recording 60 tackles (41 solo), one interception, seven passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries, along with four special teams tackles. He entered the NFL as a second-round selection (44th overall) by Indianapolis in the 2023 NFL Draft. He finished his collegiate career at Kansas State (2021-22), where he appeared 27 games and recorded 94 tackles (69 solo), five interceptions, 11 passes defensed and one fumble recovery in two seasons with the Wildcats. He transferred to Kansas State from Iowa following the 2020 season.
Green has appeared in 36 career games with two starts in five seasons with Cleveland (2020-23) and the Los Angeles Rams (2025), recording 26 tackles (20 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and two fumble recoveries, along with 14 special teams tackles. He also appeared in one postseason game with Cleveland in 2020. Green entered the NFL as an undrafted college free agent with Cleveland in 2020 after a collegiate career at Oklahoma State (2016-19), where he appeared in 48 games with 39 starts and recorded 147 tackles (119 solo), six interceptions with one returned for a touchdown, 27 passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/onsi/news/dolphins-poach-another-practice-squad-player-01kaeyyp4szc
Like Brents, Green (6-2, 198) brings great size at the cornerback position and he’s also got special teams experience.
Two weeks ago, the Dolphins signed outside linebacker Andre Carter II off the Detroit Lions practice squad after they traded Jaelan Phillips, but he was inactive in each of his first two games with the team — against the Buffalo Bills in Week 10 and against the Washington Commanders in Week 11.
Markey – That’s hilarious! You’re posting some AI bullshit and that’s supposed to be written in stone. Just imagine if things go poorly at some point this season, like we lose 3 or 4 more games, or we just blow it at the end with a chance to make the playoffs. I can tell you Ross won’t be in love with MM if that happens, so I say we just wait and see.
If that is what you believe, then it is what it is despite the evidence. I’m just presenting the evidence that has been reported by people in the know. I don’t make crap up, I follow the reports.
I actually hope what you believe will happen, just not banking on it!
That is not AI; its reports coming from reputable reporters.
Reports from NFL insiders indicate that Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross likes head coach Mike McDaniel and wants him to succeed. Despite a disappointing 2025 season so far, Ross has expressed patience, especially after signing McDaniel to a contract extension in 2024. However, some reports suggest Ross’s opinion could change if McDaniel loses the locker room or fan support wanes.
He has not lost the locker room, and that is what changed my opinion on the subject. Winning 3 out of their last 4 games will keep the fans happy.
I’ve been laughing in my office for like 5 minutes now.
One of my buddies is a Browns fan and I texted him “well you had to wait for like 5-6 other QB’s to get out of his way, but your savior Shedeur Sanders is finally going to start this weekend.”
While I was texting back and forth with him, my receptionist came into my office to tell me the boss told her to tell me something and asked why I looked so wicked and evil just then. So I started telling her the story…”My friend is a Browns fan…” and she interrupts “Awwwwwwww” like I told her that my friend’s puppy had accidentally fallen into a wood chipper this weekend. It was such a sincere and heart felt “Awwwwwww” I couldn’t get the rest of the story out.
Awwwww that’s so sad…ROFLMAO! (coming from a long suffering Dolphins fan)
No matter how badly you screw up in a game, if you win, it is easily forgotten. Winning covers up a multitude of sins. Fact!
it’s official – we are on the “in the hunt” graphics on various websites now that we are 4-7
weeeeeeeeee
Still a very outside shot, but they are not out of it.
“Ross’s opinion could change if McDaniel loses the locker room or fan support wanes.”
Um, Hello. Those things have already happened. These players aren’t playing for MM. They’re playing for their own pocket books at this point. They know that no matter who’s coaching this team from here on out their NFL careers are on the line if they don’t perform. No better motivation than the mighty $.
We can agree to disagree on that. These players believe in Mike, and their actions prove it. None of them has quit on him to date, but maybe Ramsey.
I read a report that GM Chris Grier was fired for not being ready or willing to trade players before the trade deadline.
Only to see one trade made by the deadline????
That’s why reports from NFL insiders don’t necessarily translate to what’s true and reality.
OK, if that’s how you feel like you said we will see by seasons end.
Markey,
Here’s the thing: Fans forget about the stuff that went wrong in a game if the team wins. That’s true for most fans. But, the team doesn’t. The team will focus on what they screwed up on during the game. Rarely, if ever, do I recall a coach making us run plays over and over again that we’d gotten right in the game. It was always about working on the stuff that didn’t go right. Then, at the end of practice you ran through your “bread and butter plays” to make sure they’re sharp.
So, yeah, winning helps, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the team played well or doesn’t have issues. 3-7 teams aren’t the teams I really measure success against anyway. There are no bad wins, but there are definitely bad performances that end in a win somehow. Sometimes the opponent loses games. Like we tried to do at the end of regulation last Sunday. Lol
We all know that was a poorly coached game that they should have lost, but they didn’t, and that is what matters now that they have won 3 out of their last 4 games.
In fact, beating Buffalo handily was a major win for the team and our HC! Buffalo is a good team that we destroyed! For the first time in years!!!
Stop believing the main stream NFL media that actually get paid by the NFL. They are the worst. Most reporters kiss the NFL’s ass in their reporting, but the NFL people do what they’re paid to do….hype everything NFL. They are not journalists. They are propagandists. Lol
Whatever you say….LOL!!
Not sure if some of you really believe the BS you are spewing or just pulling my chain. But if more than one reputable reporter is saying the same things, then I tend to believe it.
I see no other reason why MM still has a job???
I can tell you some reasons . . .
good video
Shula- You dont practice until you get it right. You practice until you cant get it wrong.
No team has been eliminated from the playoffs yet. Yeah, the Dolphins have a chance but so do the Titans and Jets. Though, I guess they deserve the “In the Hunt” pat on the back.
I have been a big Tua supporter in the past. But it is apparent (to most) that Tua has regressed physically and mentally. He has a noodle arm and piss poor judgement.
really liked what I saw out of Grant in that video posted
seeing a rep with Grant, Jordan and Biggers up front with Chop on the edge gets me really optimistic about our future
I don’t think it is a coincidence that a brooks is collecting 20 tackles with our rookie DL playing more and moving OL around
I know it’s just highlights but a couple of times Grant looks like a beast against the commanders

———-
Exact same here, Phelon… I’ve been a big supporter of Tua in the past and believe(?) everybody here knows as much. Even I see Tua’s not right.
Don’t know for sure if it’s concussion-related or if it’s due to his hip (perhaps both), but he’s definitely fallen off a cliff.
Then, I saw this yesterday… from Tua’s personal trainer Nick Hicks…
vvvvvvvvvvv
@PER4ORM
We haven’t trained in 2 years
^^^^^^^^^
That was Nick Hicks saying that he and Tua haven’t trained together in 2 years. Hicks was the guy who got Tua’s footwork right, his Jiu-jitsu training done, and generally the guy who turned him into the QB he became in ’22 and ’23.
Coincidence that Tua began to fall off in ’24 and has continued his fall since ending his training with Hicks? Don’t know, but IMO, he’s physically damaged now.
I’m not sure the local media has even picked up on this… though I had a long day at work today. Maybe I missed it if they did.
For whatever it may be worth, I’ve been following Nick Hicks ever since I learned he was Tua’s personal trainer back in ’22.
So for the record…
General Grier signed Tua to his massive contract extension on 7/26/24 (4-years, $212.4M). That seems to coincide (approximately) when Tua ended his training with Nick Hicks.
Not a good look for Tua.
We have no idea (yet) when Tua stopped training with Hicks, but according to Hicks, Tua didn’t train (with him) during the ’24 and ’25 offseason.
How long Tua may have (or not) trained during the ’24 offseason with Hicks is not yet known.
Perhaps Hicks is saying Tua didn’t follow through with his ’24 training.
All I’m sayin’ is that there is a fine line when Tua began to fall off and got injured.
it’s possible Tua is just having a down year
but it’s also possible, and probably more likely, that his weaknesses caught up with him and he can’t lean into his strengths anymore when defenses are trying to stop those strengths
I just don’t understand how his accuracy went out the window
but it’s hard to argue he hasn’t been horrible this year
And last year, my guy. He didn’t have a stellar ’24, aside from dinkin’-n-dunkin’ his way to the top completion % of all QBs last year.
That tells me that his ailment was already underway in ’24.
Perhaps it’s that we couldn’t run, faced 2-deep Safeties all day, and all Tua could do was throw it short to Jonnu Smith and have him get all those YAC.
I dunno… but there’s evidence that Tua wasn’t right even in ’24. JMO.
I don’t know M13
I see a huge falloff from last year to this year
I thought our offense struggled but he was a better passer
now he’s a turnover machine
I certainly don’t have a definitive answer, but I DO agree with ya that Tua’s gotten even worse this season.
IMO, he’s damaged.
just realized our entire DL is going traditional numbers in the 90s and I love it. Actually 90 through 95
Grant 90
Butler 91
Seiler 92
Biggers 93
Phillips 94
Benito 95
no one took a number in the 50s or 70s
I don’t know why I love that – but I do
now if only our LBs would take numbers in the 50s, it would feel like the 1990s again
25 and 20 for our off ball LBs is kind of bothering me
I VERY much agree with this. Traditional numbers should be restored per position. Even Tom Brady has griped about this… and I actually agree with him, for once in my lifetime.
and no more number zero
except it’s probably appropriate for Zach Wilson
LOL, YES, ZERO for Zach Wilson only! 😆
I wonder when they’ll be using negative numbers (ie: -10). It’s only a matter of time, right?!
or Emojis
number 👍 makes the tackle
great run by 😜
Guys, we’re not bringing Zach Wilson back next season, barring some unforeseen ‘man-crush’ between him and Capri McD… and that’s IF we even bring back Capri McD next season.
Wilson looks like a scared little puppy in our Offense: no poise, no balls, major trepidation, happy feet (won’t plant his feet), and looks ready to spaz on any given play call.
I’m good if we want to see what Ewers has to offer before the season ends, but Wilson isn’t cutting the mustard. We can get better and cheaper than Wilson, as BBM has stated above.
Maybe it’s just as simple as Tua’s hip issues have caught up to him. They must be pretty bad to miss our 17th game to get into the playoffs. It would explain his throwing issues and why he looks more immobile than usual.
I think Tua’s issues have more to do with the loss of two of his top O-Linemen than anything else. When the break is over, it appears that Jackson will be back, and soon after, Daniels. I think that will have a positive effect on Tua’s play.
Tua is only 27 and it is way to early to give up on him.
Time to acknowledge our young players that was drafted the last two years. Some say we don’t have but two players on offense that is playing well, but that is not true!
Markey – Are you referring to Ollie Gordon as playing well?
He’s got 50 carries for 164 yards and a 3.3 YPC avg. I like Ollie, but it’s a stretch to say he’s playing well. He’s hardly playing at all since MM is way too reliant on De’Von Achane. Where’s Jaylen Wright? He’s got all of 15 carries this season, and just 68 last season. We traded a 2025 3rd RD pick and used our 2024 4th RD pick to get him, and that’s what we get out of him? Shameful! I swear, if Achane is out for any period of time, I guess we’ll find out if MM can coach or if it was just the De’Von Achane’s beating these teams.
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright sustained a knee injury during the preseason and underwent a minor procedure in August 2025. He returned to practice in September but was inactive for the first few games of the season. After his return, he has seen a limited role behind De’Von Achane and Ollie Gordon.
Key details of Wright’s 2025 injury and status
Role on Team: Even when active, he has been relegated to a limited role as the number three running back behind Achane and Gordon.
Injury: Leg/Knee injury that required a minor procedure in August 2025.
Return to Practice: By September 11, Wright had returned to practice.
Game Status: He missed the first two games of the 2025 season while recovering. He has been active for some games but has also been a healthy scratch for others throughout the season.
You are moving the goalpost on this reply MikeE. Ollie has looked better than average in limited exposure. As you point out, MM for whatever reason does not play rookies that much. 3.3 ypc isn’t great at all, but they utilize him in short yardage situations mostly.
Jaylen Wright? Yeah, I agree he seems to be a miss for some reason at the NFL level. The Oline has been bad, but Achane has looked pretty good behind that bad line.
MM is an idiot! Wright is bigger and stronger than Achane and is a better RB than Gordon. The Dolphins should be using him more and distributing the rock a little more evenly, IMHO
All 3 RB are good and should have a major role in our offense for the rest of the season.
I don’t see what you are seeing when you say Wright is better than Gordon.
He is IMO. Gordon is a power RB, great for short yardage, but lacks the speed to be a top RB. Wright is an all-around RB with speed, can catch the ball, and has more power than Acahne.
In fact, I personally think Wright should be our #1 RB and Achane should be our change of pace RB, and Gordon should be our power RB, especially on short yardage and goal line stances. That is the way I would utilize our RBs.
I disagree with you again. Wright has nowhere near the vision or speed of Achane.
Achane is the superior runner hands down and much much better receiver!
I also think (and history shows, just check the stats) that Gordon is a better runner and receiver than Wright.
Ollie had 1,732 yards rushing and 21TD’s in 2023 plus 330yds receiving and 1TD.
Jaylen had 1,013 yards rushing 4 TD’s and 141 yards receiving and 0 TDs
You throw a lot of veiled insults around about other people being foolish, idiots and spewing BS, when I think you need to look in the mirror.
Playing speed, not 40 time.
So are you saying Gordon has more playing speed than Wright?
Not sure whether Wright is stronger than Achane but he is bigger. The Falcons have Bijan Robinson, a weapon similar to Achane, but backup Tylier Allgeier has half the carries Robinson has (77) to Robinson’s (158). Achane has (164) carries while Gordon has (50) and Wright has (15). Too much work for Achane, and that’s not even taking into account that besides having nearly 2/3 more carries he also leads the Dolphins in receptions with (54). Too damn much. If somehow we manage to make it to the postseason, what will Achane have left? Will he make it to that point?
Wright is taller than Achane by 2.5″ but he only weighs 8 or 9 lbs more than Devone. There is not that much difference in size and strength.
That is one of those we can agree to disagree comments. 🙂
Either way, Wright should be utilized more IMHO!
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (5 feet 10½ inches tall) recorded an official 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. His time was the second-fastest among all running backs at the event.
Miami Dolphins running back De’Von Achane (5 feet 8 inches tall ) ran an official 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. This was the fastest time among all running backs at the event and the fourth-fastest ever for a running back at the combine.
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II ran an official 4.61-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.
Just more proof of poor coaching by MM not to utilize all three of our complementary RBs, rather than to give Achane so many carries that can eventually wear him out or get him injured. IMHO!
The good news is that with the Injury to Tyreek Hill, MM is finally focusing on the running game as our primary weapon on offense, the way it should have been all along! The bad news is, he still has no clue how to do that right by overusing/abusing Achane!
But as I have said, Achane is my FF RB, so selfishly I want him to be used like he is, but as a lifelong die-hard fan, I would rather Miami spread the ball a little more evenly among our 3 very talented RBs.
“You throw a lot of veiled insults around about other people being foolish, idiots and spewing BS, …..”
Not True!
I only respond in kind if some takes that approach towards me.
“Achane is the superior runner hands down and much much better receiver!”
Yes, that is true, but he is undersized for an RB, and it’s just a matter of time before he is injured AGAIN for being overused!
Wright should be given more carries to give Achane the break he deserves, and what most wise coaches would do to preserve the career of one of their best RBs. Especially considering Achane’s size!

So are you saying Gordon has more playing speed than Wright?
No, he is has better vision, lateral movement and power. He’s just a better back, minus 1/4 of a second over 40 yards in speed. (.23)
We can agree to disagree on that. There is a role for all 3 RBs IMHO They all bring different skillsets to the team that a good HC could utilize.
Piggy, Tua turning the ball over is not something new to this season. In 2023, his only season he played 17 games, he turned the ball over 19 times (14 INT’s). If Tua had played full seasons in 2022 and 2024, he would have had double digit INT’s those years also.
Tua said himself, he has trouble seeing over the OL and DL. That was the main problem. Now, throw in his issues with his body.
I don’t think a healthy OL would help Tua all that much due to the reasons I just stated. Tua will always throw double digit INT’s.
But Tua Tagovailoa has a career win-loss record of 44-32 as a starter in both the regular season and playoffs
Ranked 11 since he was drafted in the league https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/qb-wins-leaders-since-2020-including-playoffs
Despite his injuries! Just think if he were healthy more? I am not ready to give up on Tua when there are other factors (like poor coaching) that have had an effect on his career.
Tua also ranks 4th in completion percentage since he’s been in the league!
For me on RB’s it’s about vision and burst, not top end speed. Achane is a rare talent. Right off, I can’t think of another RB like him since a young Alvin Kamara.
I think both Gordon and Wright are very close in vision and burst with the nod on vision going to Gordon. I do think Wright should get more touches though.
Another negative with all the Achane touches besides the wear and tear is the better his numbers are the more he is going to cost to resign. I think we are looking at top 5 money to retain him, like 3yrs at 45m or more.
More wasted talent by MM!
this video is from last year
He has not had a breakout this year
he hasn’t looked good in a single game
more like two wasted draft picks then a waste of talent
I’m just showing his potential something. I think this team has wasted this year by over utilizing Achane
They should’ve traded him by the deadline and give this man an opportunity to prove his worth somewhere else
How many starting QBs in the NFL after losing 2 of their starting O-Linemen since week one would have a good season?
Markey, you don’t have to defend Tua. All I am saying is that he has always had the issue with throwing INT’s, mainly because of his size. Tua has stated as much in his pressers. He will always be a double digit INT guy no matter his health or the health of the OL. It’s a problem all short QB’s in the NFL have.
Drew Brees threw 243 INT’s in his career. As a full time starter, he had double digit INT’s in 14 of his 19 seasons.
Dan Marino threw a lot of INT’s throughout his career and he was not short
https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-quarterback-with-the-most-interceptions-thrown-in-a-career
When you look at that list of the top 10 QBs that threw INT’s quite a few of them are tall
Same with Peyton Manning, but there is a difference behind the reasons for throwing the INT’s. Dan and Peyton were gun slingers who took a lot of chances. Tua’s reason is different.
Ok if that is your argument but the results are the same interceptions are negative plays that hurt the team
Unfortunately, Dan Marino would not listen to Jimmy Johnson who tried to get him to reduce his interceptions with a goal of trying to get him to win a championship, but Marino was too selfish to understand that
Please don’t get me started on this subject lol
Markey, most NFL QB’s throw double digit INT’s. I am not knocking on Tua for it. I am just stating the reason why it happens and will always happen.
I was telling Piggy that his INT rate this year is not something new. That’s it.
I understand and agree….

Again, I don’t really know too much about any of these QBs other than if I’ve seen them play myself. I like Ty Simpson. He’s not a flashy guy, but he just looks in control every time I see him play. He’s a tough kid. He’s an athlete. His arm isn’t great, but it’s plenty good enough. He throws a catchable ball and seems to understand where he should go with it. He seems pretty smart.
There are just so many things you can’t evaluate about a QB because it’s not visible on the field, but I like that kid. If we end up in the middle of the first round and he’s there, I think I’d be fine with taking him. I’d also be fine with taking an OL, but Simpson too. Lol
Same. I still think he stays another year at Alabama. We will see.
