It’s Hard Settling A Qb Competition When Neither Player Steps Up

[DKphin]

This quarterback competition the Miami Dolphins have been nursing since April is down to its final few days before a decision is made whether Ryan Fitzpatrick or Josh Rosen will start the regular-season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 8.

And this thing is nip and tuck.

But for the wrong reason.

I do not agree with this
Rosen should clearly be the starter
He hasn't set the world on fire but the talent is obvious
As long as OL can somewhat keep him protected done deal in my eyes

This article is just hot garbage.
Rosen has played great and had many dropped passes last week that were easy catches.
He is our starter no questions asked.

 

[dougb123]

I agree 100%

I would give Rosen the slimmest of edge's, but I haven't seen the practices, and if the coaches are giving Ryan the edge due to practices so be it.

Rosen played great what games have you been watching???

Watch the video in the article.

I don't see Flores as a "Tank for Tua" kind of guy, so I see him going with Rosen in order to determine if he's the future or if we need to use a #1 on a QB. Fitz is a known product. I don't think Flores needs to see anymore of him to make any determination.

Armando is merely stating the obvious. Neither of these guys are playing at starter caliber. Granted its pre season but you know what you have in Fitzpatrick and Rosen is showing what he showed at UCLA. Inconsistent under achiever. Could Rosen magically turn it on? Of course but the odds aren't good of it happening.

If Fitzpatrick had been playing great I could see the rational of the coaching staff to start him. But he's been terrible, so unless Week 3 changes anything, Rosen should start

In ready to cut Fitzpatrick and roll with Rosen

 

[hoops]

Ugh every win with Fitzpatrick is utterly meaningless and can negatively effect draft position

 

[SCLSU Mud Dogs]

Lol Armando

Anybody who uses QBR in preseason as a measuring stick is automatically disqualified from the discussion. Good bye Salguero. You have been voted out.

100%. Let's see how Rosen handles the moment

 

[BennySwella]

What QB competition? Rosen has basically been given the starting job already even if he doesn't start the season.

Rosen isnt competing to start, he is biding his time. Rosen doesnt need to step up as he will eventually start regardless of how mediocre his play may be, and Fitz is not going to step up since it is useless at this point.

Buddy, you can't step up when the pocket is crumbling right back into your face.
