Putting them bets in

As a Miami Dolphins fan, this could be a blessing in disguise after we foolishly win 7 games against bad teams and pick 13th in the Draft, too low for Sellers and Mendoza.

Long as Tua is here, they will never draft or bring in a capable back up for fear of rattling him.

Brian Flores was 100 percent correct. That boy soft.

Mendoza and by kinda of a wide margin.

Best Value imo is Gunner Stockton

They need to draft a QB and have him sit and learn behind Tua because his contract won’t let them out until after 2026. Yes, Denver ate a huge amount of dead cap and moved off Russ, but I don’t see Miami doing that with Tua. Hopefully they fire Grier and McDaniel and a new GM comes in on terms that he gets his QB. You force a coach and GM to ride with Tua and you’re not getting anyone good to come here.

I like Sellers, Mendoza, Mateer and Nussmeier (yes, he’s had a bit of a slow start but the guy’s arm is NFL level and he has the pedigree with his Dad a former player and coach).

My only gripe with him has he’s been definitely throwing an underthrown ball all season.

He rarely hits his targets in stride

There's actually not been an in-between with him this year...except the 5-7 yard balls. The two Wild Daniels catches were overthrows. He's only had like a handful of good on target passes. The wrs are making a lot of it look good.

I legitimately believe if the Fins fired Grier and Mcdaniel AND had the #1 pick they wouldn't draft a qb.

Tua got some kinda hold.on the organization. They're almost scared of him it seems like.

Not necessarily.

Michael Hawkins has experience with 4 starts under his belt & has good mobility as a running QB.

Obviously, he doesn't have the arm talent of Mateer, but the Offense doesn't have to completely change due to the fact he can operate the Mesh point read options in a similar fashion.

He's not likely gonna stretch the field as often, but Oklahoma has good weapons & if he can keep from turning the ball over, Ben Arbuckle can manufacture productivity from the offense enough to win a few games until Mateer comes back.

They also have a really good Defense that will keep them in games enough to give them a shot.

isn’t he the top rusher?

I could see them beating USCe. If he is back after 4 games, 2-2.

That D could be better than Miami’s. Those two DTs we wanted are dang good. Not jags at all. Ha

It’s on Grier. If he tells Ross they’re taking a QB in the 1st round or trying to sign a QB in FA (which they couldn’t even do if they wanted to, ironically because of Tua’s stupid contract that Grier gave him), he’s getting fired. But push is coming to shove. When they go 6-11 or 5-12 this year, the charade is done and Ross will fire Grier and the dominoes will fall, with McDaniel following and Tua a lame duck QB in 2026.

Yup I’m still hoping it’s just rust from coming back from surgery and getting his strength and timing right….
