David Fales Looks Like Leader For Dolphins’ Backup Quarterback Job

[DKphin]

David Fales has years of credibility with Adam Gase. (Allen Eyestone/The Post)

So which of those three gives Gase so much confidence? The way he’s talked this offseason, it appears to be Fales.

“He just keeps getting better,” Gase said of him Tuesday, three weeks into the team’s offseason practices. “He’s making a lot of plays. I think he’s utilizing the guys he’s working with and I think getting to go with Albert (Wilson), Jakeem (Grant) and Isaiah (Ford) and Drew (Morgan), they’ve all been in this offense now – expect for Albert – for two or three years, so guys know what to do.

That's a bit of a reach.

Def rooting for this guy! He looked like he belonged in action Ive seen.

Osweiler has more experience and arm talent but Fales is better mentally, it will be interesting to watch the competition in camp.

That's a bit of a reach.

Sometimes it’s amazing the quick conclusions that are made early on...

I saw Omar was raving about him yesterday on a tweet from Travis. The kiss of death- probably.

This can't be a shock with the way Osweiler has played these past 2 years

 

[superphin]

aaaaand he's cut before the season starts.

The sports writers seem to be gravitating to Fales #2 and Osweiler #3. Here's another story with the same conclusion so the coaches are probably giving off this impression that the depth chart is in this order.

PS Fales would need a leg up on Osweiler due to their 6 inch height difference

i really liked this kid right away -- truly believe he's got some "it" in his game... no prob with him as a backup

 

[mrbunglez]

I’m going with experience and the better arm in Osweiler, but either way hopefully neither of them will be playing this year unless it’s mop up duty after a clear win.

 

[Shula Fan]

I went with experience. It would be nice to see both do great and someone offer us a draft pick for one after all is done.

I think the preseason games are going to say alot about the back-up role.

You figure they are going to protect the hell out of Tannehill which means the back-ups will get the bulk of the work.

if Omar likes him then the poor kid is doomed

How about we all chip in and get his tattoo removed?

How many St Louis or Dallas team fans initially thought that Tony Romo or Kurt Warner would amount to anything? I know it is a little farfetched, but maybe with Fales we can catch the same kind of lightning in a bottle!
