LOL! I was thinking the same thing, but you got to write about something. Exposure is everything. Out of sight, out of mind.

The only question I have which may only be answered during practices is if Tua has a sub-par year (will not happen) or gets hurt, do we have our potential QB in house or do we go the draft route?

I don't think Tua will have a sub par year. I've always said, even as a Tua doubters, if you surround him with a lot of talent he will be a good QB.
The real question to me will always be whether he can be the QB that can make something happen when nothing is there.
If it is there however, like it should be this year, I think he will take it.
I think that Tua is a good QB regardless of who is catching the ball....He just needs a line that will give him time. Good QB's always have at least that.
We saw all that the day of the cuts....I thought maybe it was something new. I wanted them to keep him so I'm glad they did.

Exactly. Can't remember if Bridgewater is signed for one year or two. But having Thompson could fill that spot long term.
He was very impressive in the preseason and definitely would have been claimed by another team.
Easy decision for sure. I would've been pissed if ST was not given a roster spot.

We get to save what like 6-7 million on the cap for next year because he will be our backup instead of Ted.
Hopefully he will develop into a decent backup for Tua over the next few years. I could see the Dolphins eventually getting a 4th or 5th round pick for him before he becomes a free agent in 4 years.
