QB Tyler Huntley Signs with Dolphins

Here's my two cents. We have three trash QBs on the roster. Nobody is saving us. Teams with good backups aren't looking to trade them away. Hopefully we find a way to steal 2 of our next 3 and Tua comes back to a 3-3 team week 8. If Tua goes down after returning the season is over. So we can stop debating who they should go get because it ain't happening.

 

Let me put it another way.

Bob Greise did not have record breaking stats in any category. What he did do is lead one of the best complete teams ever into the playoffs many years snd hoist two Lombardy trophies over his head. He doesn't come close to any records for yardage or touchdowns scored. Yet Bob is considered one of the greatest ever and honored for his achievements which you would consider team stats with a bust in Canton. Because make no mistake, Bob is one of the greatest, but he did not put that team on his back, they together carried the Dolphins to being one of the greatest and most storied franchises in football history.

Jim Plunkett. Doesn't hold records for touch downs scored. Doesn't hold yardage records. What he did was lead a well balanced team with a ferocious defense and a punch you in the mouth running game. Plunkett is one of the greatest ever, led his team deep into the playoffs many years, and again hoisted two Lombardy trophies over his head. Jim Plunkett is in the Hall of fame because he deserves to be as one of the greatest ever, even though he never would have had those years at the top of the game if not for those team stats.

Yeah, sure I am the one saying dumb things. I guess the HOF voting committee must be really stupid then.

And that friend is how you make an argument without looking dumb by using fhe word dumb as though ir establishes some perceived superiority of your viewpoint.

 

There's nothing to criticize there, so glad you're not one to do so Bro. I'm well aware of his passing stats, and how much of that yardage came as a result of YAC.

 

Yeah it's not 60 years ago, we no longer judge QBs like that.

 

Then let me put it this way.

Joe Flacco will be in the Hall of Fame. I would be surprised if he does not make it in on his first or second year of eligibility.

Unless Tua experiences one of the most incredible resurgences ever, and our front office and coaching staff can put together a team which can produce those team stats we are no longer supposed to consider Tua will never even be on a HOF ballot.

I say that as a fan that would love for him to over come his injuries and go on to have a Hall of Fame worthy career, but I am not gonna hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

 

He very well might. I don't think he should. I think the HoF is losing some of it's shine, it's being watered down. Is Pennington a HoFer? Matt Ryan? How about Drew Bledsoe?

I dunno, I don't see Flacco as a HoFer. But my opinion doesn't matter.

 

Pennington is an awesome guy, a good QB, but I don't see him in the HOF. Ryan might get in, but it will take a while if he ever does. Bledsoe I doubt it, but who knows. Very few QB's whose last names aren't Marino make it in without multiple big playoff wins through their career and Lombardy trophies on their resume.

 

First, no one is telling you what to do. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but if we were face to face and you said “a strong argument could be made that Joe Flacco is better than Dan Marino was”, I’d do the same thing I did when I read your post - laugh out loud.

The Ravens were led to those playoff appearances and their Super Bowl win by Ray Lewis and the most dominant defense of its time, not by Joe Flacco. The second most important factor was, as you yourself mentioned, was Jamal Lewis and the running game. Many quarterbacks could have led that team to the same results that Joe did; put Marino on that team and they most likely win multiple championships.

You said that Joe was better than Dan, but the fact is that the Ravens had a much better team surrounding their quarterback than the Dolphins did.

PS. There is no way Joe Flacco is a first ballot Hall of Famer; I don’t even think he belongs there at all, but might get in because of the Ravens Super Bowl win.

 

Someone here is conflating team stats ie; wins/losses/playoff records with individual stats.

By THAT logic, Eli Manning is a FAR SUPERIOR quarterback than Dan Marino EVER was since he has 2 Super Bowl championships.

TEAMS win games and TEAMS lose games. Individual players may influence those outcomes but victories and losses are ultimately team stats.

 

He’s been posting this same crap for months. Then he’s been shown the truth, leaves for a while, then comes back posting the same stuff.

I’m pretty sure he’s a stroke victim.

 

The HoF is definitely being watered down. I’m not sure why, other than they think they must choose so many guys every year. There’s just not that many HoF worthy players to induct that many every year, and even then they leave off guys who should have been in over others.
Flacco may get in one day, but only because he played on teams with some of the greatest defenses in NFL history. He’s a middling QB who had a long career. Longevity should definitely be under consideration when looking at a player’s career. It’s hard to play for as long as he has. Saying that, his stats are more about longevity than productivity. He’s definitely better than anyone we have on our team right now sans Tua, but so are Darnold, and a number other of backups.

 

There’s quite a bit of speculation based on what’s been seen in practice that Huntley could be named the starter against Tennessee Monday night.

Thompson was in a flak jacket and throwing passes although none were over 10 yards.

Boyle had some practice time but didn’t appear impressive.

Huntley received significant practice time with many of the 1st team starters, leading to speculation he could start against the Titans.

 

If it's not Huntley I don't know what we are doing. I don't care if he's only been here for 14 days or whatever, Malik Willis wasn't in Green Bay much longer than that before he's winning 2 of 2 games. Same coaching tree. Thompson should have just been cut with injury settlement, I don't get why he's back except this team refuses to admit mistakes. Boyle is a nobody, signing him in the first place was nonsensical, and letting him start would be absurd. He hasn't been here much longer than Huntley anyway. Huntley is a better QB than both of them AND can run with the ball, which is what we need to be doing a lot of this week.

 

Huntley will be the QB on Monday night!

 

Yep. I previously said to get him comfortable with a small package of passing plays, split guys like Waddle and Tyreek out wide, spread the D and let him run a bit. Take some shots if they’re open.
All you can hope for.

 

I agree with this. It's time to come together as Dolphins fans.

Huntley isn't going to make mistakes and he isn't going to throw for 300 yards. Just get the ball to the playmakers occasionally and take off when you have to. For the love of God McDaniel, just run the ball. Huntley should not have 35 passing attempts on Monday night. I also wonder if some kind of wildcat or exotic formation will be used.

Let's see if McDaniel can adjust his offense without the key.

It also looks like Paul will be unleashed. Can't wait to see what he looks like.

Save the season.

 

What is really sad is your idea and game plan would have worked way better then what coach put together.

 

The few times they did spread the offense out it actually worked. But, why spread the offense out with all that speed when you have power back Achane running it up the gut?

 

...at least Mcdaniels has a cool wardrobe.

 

LOL those glasses.
