Fitzpatrick, Rosen Begin Qb Competition In Miami

Fitzpatrick had a bizarre statistical season last year, with several important categories more than 2.5 yards per attempt above his career average. The odds on that were astronomical and the odds of repeating it -- or anything nearby -- are even higher, which is why he was available.
Good point. And merely from the standpoint of 1 guy is like a 15 year vet who is mediocre and the other guy is a 22 year old 2nd year player who you have franchise Hopes for. You need to play the young kid to see if you have a future in him or you can decide to go another way in a good upcoming QB draft.

Fitzpatrick doesn't have a chance and he shouldn't of beating out Rosen. This year isn't about wins anyways
 
Maybe a better way to say it is, it’s Rosen’s job to lose. However, he needs to be careful though, Fitzpatrick could give him a run for his money. If Rosen shows command of the offense, can sustain drives and score points, the job is his.
 
Unless they truly believe Rosen in the guy and want to give him extra time before putting him out there I think he starts. Why not get a 6 game look at the guy who could potentially be your franchise QB? Of course with our line both QB's will probably play at some point.
 
Just imagine if Rosen takes that “next step” we were looking for (for years) with Tannehill, in his second year. That guy beats Fitzpatrick straight up.
 
Most important position in football...undoubtedly. Pro Sports, I'd disagree. Point Guard in basketball is more important. I'd say pitcher in baseball also. Perhaps goalie in soccer and hockey...dont follow them enough to weigh in with conviction.
You could, possibly make an arguement for an elite PG. I would still disagree.

No possible way a pitcher. He only starts one in five games.

Goalie, no way. A good defense is required for a great goal tender.
 
Ok, let us look at the facts..

  • Rosen in College was very impressive against good teams.

  • Fitzpatrick tends to be good early, but later in the seasons he plays not as much.

  • Both are rediculously smart.

  • Rosen last year was thrown into a sharktank, and told to swim with the coaching and O-line he had.

  • Fitpatrick wants to start, but has no problem mentoring and backing up Rosen if it falls that way.

  • Rosen though he has nowhere the bad attitude people accused him of, does have 1000 pound chip on his shoulders.

  • The Miami Dolphins coaching staff, executive staff, fans want/hope to see Rosen win it, and prove from day one to be a possible franchise QB in the making.

All this tells me is, if it's close, a tie, or in Rosen's favor...Rosen is the starter.

If Fitz wins it, he will get no more then 2-3 games (Unless Fitzmagic returns, and is lighting it up), before Rosen is put in for better or worse to prove himself.

Outlook for 2019: Rosen's arrival makes the Dolphins' quarterback situation more interesting. Miami has been in quarterback purgatory since Dan Marino retired 20 years ago, so there's no harm in taking every shot to find the answer. General manager Chris Grier did just that by taking a chance on Rosen -- the struggling, discarded Cardinals top-10 pick from a year ago -- for a very good price via a draft weekend trade. The Tannehill era is over, so expect an open QB competition in Miami for the first time in a long time between Rosen and veteran journeyman Fitzpatrick.

Chances he starts: Likely

Ravens, Cowboys, Patriots and Chargers. That's a brutal opening schedule with a new... Everything Let Fitz get us to the bye and give the OL time to jell. Then hand it over to Rosen and get a 12 game evaluation.

It gives Rosen time to absorb the playbook and the offense time to get it's feet set.

Regardless, I'm drafting another QB next year. I don't care what the media throws at me. I'm NOT stopping drafting a QB each year.

I'm guarding against any QB failures. If he is the guy, then make him keep the other guy on the sideline.

It is time we find our Franchise.
 
fitz and mat moore is same type qb. I need Rosen to start. he give dolphins hope for future. it time to find a qb for future. we have been stuck in that middle of pact for while. not good but not bad.
