Greg S Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/news/training-camp-buzz-ryan-fitzpatrick-expected-to-win-dolphins-qb-battle-over-tua- No surprise really. With no real training camp or preseason games the smart thing to do is go with veteran. The Bills face the Fins week 2. Although the Bengals will probably go with Burrow week 1 so anything is possible. 1
YoloinOhio Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Will Fitz still be the starter by week 2 though 1 6
ghostwriter Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I think it makes a lot of sense... but it also suggests that the Dolphins are still 2-3 years away from competing.. Fitz isn’t going to lead your team to the playoffs but he is one of the smartest QBs in the NFL and it also allows the Dolphins to nurse Tua to full health and give him time to understand the playbook.. Question is, how much time does Tua have before he is the starter? Is it Week 2? Week 6? Week 10? Doubt Fitz makes it through the full season. 1

Then benched again by week 12 when they are out of the playoffs and then starting again by week 14 due to injury. I think that is how this works. ? 5 2 2

machine gun kelly Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Who was that one armed bearded man? Oh wrong thread, this isn’t the Def Leopard thread. Doh! Any way, I’m with Shady on the rinse repeat. Everyone knew Fitzy was going to start in week 1, but then it’s just week by week Tua watch. My $20 on red says week 5 or the first 4 pick game for the Fins. Why you say? They are going to get their butts handed to them in week 3 (Seahawks) and week 4 (49ers) so it’s either week 6 Broncos, or week 7 Chargers they go to Tua. From the Chargers in they have the Rams, Cardinals, Jets, Jets, Bengals, Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, and Bills. The Fins if they are smart, and I do think this coach is smart they’ll want a soft landing for Tua to build up his confidence. He’d have challenges with Cardinals, Chiefs, and us, but easier games as well. I’m not buying the hype that BB can do anything, the Raiders are world beaters this year. If Tua finishes with a winning record for the games he plays, the organization gets to feel like they made a great call. Besides with all of the new pieces the Fins brought in with 6 draft picks in the first 70 picks, the $200 mil. They had 11 picks in the 2020 draft, and 11 in 2021. The crazy thing is they have 5 in the 2021 draft in the top 70 if they don’t move around. They spent on all of those free agents, it will take at least until week 7-8 before they start pulling together if at all. That’s why I wrote the other day, the Fins should be on the rise in 2021, or at the latest 2022. The AFCE rivalry will go back to the old days of Bills/Fins, and Allen vs. Tua, instead of my hero MGK and Dan, quick release Marino. This should be fun especially if together we crush the Pats and BB has to away in humiliation. We never have to worry about the dumpster fire in NJ, and not talking about the NJ Giants.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 If Tua cannot beat out a 37 year old Fitz for the starting job by week 6 Tua’s will be approaching bust status at Mach 2. Fitz never had a strong arm, I think Fitz will struggle to make certain throws this year. With the way Fitz plays and his age I doubt Fitz will make it through this season. We will prolly get a look a Tua if he is ready or not.

Ahh yes, another gem from the guy who lets people consistently fart in his face and tells them how good it smells. I know you are obsessed with me (you’re not the first and won’t be the last), but you can’t even debate the point. Who had the best qb rating in the division? Who did this on a team that actively traded their best players away? Who took a bust 1st round pick and made him a 1,200 yard receiver? Who set a nfl record for most consecutive 400 yards passing games? also get a dictionary and look up the word currently. It could change but you are the most sensitive human being on earth. Josh Allen isn’t going to sleep with you bro. 53 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: If Tua cannot beat out a 37 year old Fitz for the starting job by week 6 Tua’s will be approaching bust status at Mach 2.

Why force playing him right away? They aren’t winning the SB this year. more qbs are ruined than developed. 2 1
