Are Gailey and Fitz just for the moment in helping Tua get acclimated to the pro game? New coordinator may truly take the training wheels off Tua especially with some new real weapons and not having the veteran fan favorite plug and play QB looking over your shoulder if you struggle too much. I honestly wouldn't expect Gailey to go but Fitz yes. Dont think Gailey has done bad at all in managing a young qb with no training camp. Just getting my people's opinion.

I would take anything for Fitz. You never hang on to a player til he has no trading value.
 
If Fitz wants to keep playing, he can linger around as "the veteran back up."

He has zero value otherwise.

No idea how long the Chanster wants to keep coaching, or if Flo wants to promote someone from within that quickly (like Godsey).
 
Man I know Fitz is what he is I just hate to lose him. Im hoping we could keep him as a backup for one more year and then hire him as a coach. I just think dude is awesome and is a co author of our turn around starting last year. If not oh well but he would be a great back up for Tua.

At some point we have to stop playing musical chairs with coaches and stick with one for a while. Our coaching staff got gutted just last year. Gaily is doing a pretty good job managing this offense and I think we should stick with it and see what happens when Tua gets the right weapons for this offense. Plays like last weeks grants drop, this weeks grants drops for a pic, and parkers td drop would not be happening if we had legit weapons. He's calling good games, its the players leaving the points on the field
 
Fitz could go to the Jets and energize that team and franchise while tutoring Lawrence. Fitz is going to be the qb coach on someone's staff one day.

Not sure about that.
If Dalton and Minshew are/were still playing, Fritz would have value.
 
Fitz is a free agent after this year.

Rumors are Godsey would be the OC if Gailey leaves but I think he stays for another year.
 
I love them both.

Fitz should do whatever he wants to do. I hope he returns but, if not, I want Andy Dalton (who will be a FA).
Gailey has called a Hell of a season... gradually opening the playbook as Tua gets more comfortable. Tua still locks up from time to time, and we lack playmakers, but I imagine that Chan's career long creativity combined with Tua and real weapons... could be deadly.
 
As a Dolphins fan I've watched some truly atrocious qb play and I can't tell you what a great comfort it has been to have backups like Moore and Fitz who you knew were gonna give your team a chance to win if forced into a game, rather than the next Ray Lucas, Cleo Lemon, or Brock Osweiler. Our only playoff berths in the last 12 years was thanks to a backup qb who came in and delivered big plays on the road in December against division opponents.
