We know Fitz would have played in this game also, maybe inserted into the 3rd qrtr, I´m sad about him catching Covid and I worry about his future in Miami, I hope Flores makes a wise call and we extend him for 2 years, TUA is still not the answer and that showed today again, Fitzpatrick was having a great season Gesicky and Parker play a lot different with him on the field, he deserved to play a post season game, it was just a sad couple of events for him because probably there will not be another game this season. I really hope he stays and we draft another QB to compete.
 
He should have started all year. He is7-3 in his last 10 starts. Flores screwed him and i would be surprised if there arent fa repercussions moving forward.

i'd have liked for him to participate in a post-season for once in his career.

great guy.

but his play offers no benefit to the future of the miami dolphins.
 
In Tua’s defence DVP did have only his 3rd 100 yard game of the season and 116 on 7 catches is pretty amazing.
 
I like Fitzpatrick but the dude has been a starter for like 8 teams in 15 years and never made the playofffs. Crazy that people honestly think he could have carried this practice squad skill position group to 11 wins. He couldn’t even keep the starting job for the Bucs throwing to Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and OJ Howard.
 
He can't stay. The players are loyal. Tua is not assertive enough to win the team.
 
The future of this team is not Ryan Fitzpatrick. It was not even making the playoffs this year if it means slowing down the development of Tua as QB or the young OL. Look, for better or worse, this team is tied to Tua for the next 3-4 years at a minimum. Due to Covid, there was no preseason and limited OTAs which severely limited Tua's development. Those are 4 practice games for him to get experience that disappeared.

Making the playoffs would have been nice (and another game of experience for Tua), but even with Tua starting half the season, the Dolphins finished 10-6 which is light years ahead of where anyone would have placed them at the beginning of the season. Just look at the Bills roster vs. the Dolphins. Miami's lack of playmaking skill players is staggering. Parker and Gesicki have shown some potential for further growth, but aside from them, who else looks like they could start or be key contributors?

Preston Williams? If you can get him healthy...looked good at the beginning of last year. This year, he had trouble with drops. Grant has the dropsies too. I give props to Grant and Gaskin for their work ethic, but that only gets you so far. A talent upgrade is vastly needed at WR and RB, which I am sure will be coming through the draft and free agency. Another edge rusher and LB should be in the offing as well. The Dolphins are getting there though.
 
Fitz is not the future. We're certified in the market for more QB talent on the roster!

Absolutely going to happen. Flo plays to win. And you can bet this loss today put a huge

fire under his ass! He's not into cults and hype. He's into winning. He's into positional competition.

And that's guaranteed to be a force in the upcoming draft! We're very lucky to have the resources

we have to make sure we get the key positions right. Ross won't be interfering this time!

Is that right? Give us your breakdown so we can understand your reasoning. Please

My breakdown? Okay. It's simple. The very first moment I saw Tua on the field I thought that he looked like a boy among men, and that opinion hasn't changed. I don't see how anyone could call him a generational talent. If he was special he'd certainly show us something, even as a rookie without decent WRs. Today was his day to step up to the plate and take charge. In the first half, his play was timid with mostly off-target short passes. He did open it up in the second half, and had a few good throws. However, once it got to the point where they needed to score fast and often, it seemed to me that he's not the type of QB to be involved in a shoot-out. IMO, he appears to be a future game manager running a ball-control offense relying on special teams and defense to keep the game close... which is exactly what we've seen him do this year. Miami has to be able to outscore a team like Buffalo if they want to get ahead, and I don't think that Tua is the type to light up the scoreboard!

“he looked like a boy among men” haha you serious with that comment? I’ll let you take that back. Tell me, did you feel the same about Russell Wilson and Brees?
And then everything else in your response is mind dumbing. You’re gonna lay this game on him? Did you not see 11 drops from our WRs when he threw the ball in their hands? Ok Phew!
This rookie is 10 games in and has played with these crap WRs who can’t get open and can’t catch a beach ball, without a bona fide RB and a defense who **** the bed today and you wanna give up on him.
I thought you’d give me a better answer than that.
listen, if at the end of next season he’s still showing you the same play I’ll come back here and give you kudos, but not after 10 games. This isn’t Madden football dude.
