As mostly a baseball fan, this is the most exciting time of the year for me for a bad/rebuilding team. Shutdown the essential younger vets (please rest more), throw young blood onto the field and see what they got! Let the Beard (who really deserves so much more love than he will ever receive from most fans) show the offensive players the way. Who is the defensive leader? Maybe I am a bad fan, but it seems this team needs one badly!?

If you want to shutdown the veteran players, exactly why do you want the oldest veteran, Fitzpatrick to continue to play? Rosen should be starting and playing in these final 2 games to see if he has improved over his play earlier in the year.
Fitzpatrick is not part of this teams future and continuing to give him playing time during this rebuilding season makes no sense at all. Personally I would rather see Rosen or Rudock play the next two weeks than watch FitzpatricK. If this season is about learning which of the younger players they want on the team going forward, I just don’t understand the need to start Fitzpatrick when they have two young QB’s on the roster they need to make decisions on for the future.

Miami already had half-decent WRs on the team, the TEs were improving, and semi-competent RBs are a dime a dozen, so there was no reason not to see what the young QBs could do during the 2019 season. That is, unless the team stupidly decided NOT to fix the o-line, which is a must if you want to properly evaluate young QBs! Luckily, there's no way that Miami would choose to ignore this important facet of the offense, right?

:bang:
 
Winning the 3 games we've won this year was good for Flores. At this time however, one more win won't make any difference but playing younger guys can make a difference in the future. I still don't get why they can't just play Rosen these last two games........what do we have to lose?? And please don't tell me the players will lose respect. He can tell them at this point they're just trying to evaluate a young QB. Flores has played more players this year than any team in history so why would players be upset that he's giving Rosen a chance?

I agree the team is at that point.
 
Why Fitz? Because he is a great leader and can get the most out of this offense. The coaches are obviously not in or very comfortable with the pace of Rosen's development. Yes it has kind of been that way all season..... and just like Flo, I am never gonna root for this team to lose. Just would like to see players like Wilkins, Baker, Parker, Gesicki, etc... get some rest or lesser loads.
 
Also I agree with you on maybe getting Rudock off the practice roster and seeing what he's got, 1972Forever. I suppose the only reason not to do so indicates the team is leaning towards drafting a QB?

What do Flo and Co have to gain?

Wait......you're talking about fans aren't you......

Here's a thought. They aren't making decicions based on what fans think or want. You don't have to "get it".

If you think that makes Flo a bad coach, or even just a jerk, for ignoring what you want, I don't know what to tell you.

I like your overall philosophy, and knowledge as a poster @Danny , but makeing the same comments in thread after thread isn't going to change the staff's plans.
 
I had a wisdom tooth taken out yesterday, I'd rather do that again that be forced to watch a 9 inning MLB game. So ya, I'm mostly football guy.

That said.

Going to Rosen week 3 was a no brainer after losing by a combined 92 points. You gotta give your team a chance, and Rosen did that against Dallas and the first half against the Chargers.

When it became obvious we weren't going to get more than 2 yards per carry and no pass protection, it made sense to go back to Fitzpatrick once the team settled down it's suckiness a bit.

Other than 50/50 balls to Parker, this hasn't been a real offense, in any regard.

You can't put inexperienced QB's on the field with this shell of an offense.

Rosen can play against the Patriots not the Bengals. Don't trust that game at all.
