New quarterback

From what I read today, we did go after him and Tannenbaum botched it last year. Teddy wanted to come to Miami, we put a contract in his hands, and they couldn't come to terms over little stuff that we should have just conceded to given the circumstances. He ended up signing elsewhere when we were his 1st choice...ponder that a moment or two.

Probably one of the reasons he’s fired..

Let’s get him back, he’s able to sign anywhere he wants and he wants to be a dolphin.

Teddy is a point guard with his arm, who adds some off script playmaking ability, exactly what we’ve been missing for 7 years..

I haven't watched him enough to have a real opinion- the game film I watched showed a very mobile QB with good touch and a lot of patience. I also noticed, however, that he had excellent protection on all his highlight reels with 4-6 seconds to throw on occasions. He still came out with a 87 QBR average for his career so that makes me kind of nervous.

He is EXACTLY the type of QB I love watching though, so I'd love to get him on the roster anyway. I'm not sure if he's a better gamble over Tyree Jackson though.

Really? That's messed up. That' who I would have tried to get. Been saying that for awhile now. Damn Mike Tannenballsonhisdoublechin!!

I think we’re going to trade our first round pick for either Derek Carr or Matt Stafford.

Yeah, the Eagles sneaking into the playoffs and Nick Foles leading them down to the wire versus the Rams or Saints might make them willing to talk trade for Wentz. It would be two first rounders and change, but a low risk high reward move for Miami. I think Wentz just needed another year to recover from his injury and has been trying to force things this year. That scenario has about a 10% chance of panning out though, so we are back to trying to grab Bridgewater on a one year 'prove it' deal.

We save $13 million by cutting Tanny and you can offer Bridgewater $10 million of that. We have plenty of offensive weapons (except a big physical WR and TE for that matter) but the OL should be decent if injuries don't hit so hard in 2019.

Definite 'No thanks' regarding Stafford, and Carr only for one first rounder or a second rounder and change. We'd need to use a short passing game -unless we find another Cooper for Carr to throw deep to. How bad is his contract with the Raiders eating the signing bonus?

After edit: He would be around $18 million per season, which is a great deal if he returns to being an above average starting QB.

Pad Statford (his local nickname) is basically everything we hate about Tannehill in a more durable package. We would be idiots to give up a high pick.

I would trade two firsts immediately.

Why dont we try to trade for Nick Mullens

I am okay with doing anything and everything to get better. We might not have depth at our QB position, but that doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

No choice. Gase will be fired if he doesn’t win next year so he needs a veteran to help him save his job.

he got that qb rating while he was very young..he just turned 26 years old..let him grow in a system and obviously stay healthy..

I trust that he can make a play if we need one.

As usual,

Here is the weekly reminder that the QB that we decided to pass on (Lamar Jackson) has taken over a 4-5 Ravens team and led them to a 6-1 record (1:36 away from 7-0).

If he wins 1 playoff game, he would have accomplished more in 8 games, than Tannehill had accomplished in 7 years.

That is all.

He's still not a very good QB though. Team success aside and Ryan Tannehill aside.

Booo he will only get better what is with you guys? I bet you don't think Mayfield will pan out either.

It’s official. We have the lucky 13th pick to get our future qb.

Obviously, we need to let Marino make that selection.

I think Mayfield is 100000000000000x the QB Lamar is.

Players who can't open the field with their arm all fail long term and that's how I see Jackson personally.

Its not that he does nothing well, its that what he does can't guarantee any success IMO.

With Justin Herbert now returning to college it means even more depth at QB in the 2020 draft class.

This year the most talented, but risky, pick at QB seems to be Kyler Murray - assuming he opts to play football over baseball. Can't say I see anything else great in this year's class.

If the Dolphins definitely want to find a QB, then they can opt to take someone who drops this year, keep Tannehill, and see what happens. But I think I prefer using this draft to add picks and/or fill others areas of need. Pick where the draft is strong, go for talent. We have multiple needs, ride with Tannehill, or if there is a suitor out there, trade Tannehill for picks and ride with one of our existing backups. Yes, it will mean a tough season, but aim for a QB in 2020 where there is more talent and after a poorer season, a higher pick will mean an easier shot at the QB you want.

Why Marino?
What make you guys trust him to do so?

Pretty sure it's a bit of humour - #13.

Not on board with blatantly throwing a season. If we went with a rookie qb and just happened to go 2-14. Im in.

I would. Sometimes taking a step back is necessary to make improvements you otherwise couldn't make.

Whether you could really do it is another question. I think the GM and any coach guaranteed to have a job could try to throw a season but the players won't. Although Indy in their "Suck for Luck" campaign possibly showed it could be done in the NFL.

You can find a QB without tanking, it just takes good scouting.

Definitely count me off the tank list. Even if you end up good, all it says is you were best at sucking. It means nothing if its intentional.

I’m good
I ain’t never been a Bitch
And I am not about to become one for a Tua
I ain’t down with tanking lol.

If Kyler Murray chooses football, and I were running the Dolphins, I'd give up every pick in this next draft for him.

Rather than making the mistake of over reaching for a QB let it come organically. Last thing I wanna see is us give up picks for two or three years for a prospect, this year or ever.
