QB for Miami 2026

I really think we should just tank in 2026 take all of our dead cap hits clean up our books play cheap young players and get the number 1 pick in 2027 and hope that Arch Manning comes out next year.
I agree with you here. It would be especially nice if we had Harbaugh as HC, the Mannings wouldn’t pull an Eli with us if Harbaugh was here.
 
I’m wondering if Trinidad Chambliss is worth a look at 11.

Let’s see how he does tomorrow against Miami's D , if he plays well, I think his stock will rise big time.

There’s a huge hole of day 2 QBs because many are returning for NIL and portal deals. It’s created a bathtub in ‘26 instead of the usual QB crop coming out “early”, so the QB pool needs time to catch up as more high value QBs max out their college eligibility imo.

Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss applied for another year of eligibility. Doesn’t mean he’ll get it (FSU’s Thomas Castellanos was denied & entering draft) but he obviously is trying to go back.

ASU Sam Leavitt is evidently hitting the portal so doesn’t like he’ll be in the draft.

Cincinnati’s Brenden Sorsby is hitting the portal.

Combine that with USC’s Jayden Maiava and South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers whom both declared they were returning early.

I just looked it up. Our schedule next year is absolutely brutal—check this out.

We have the 2nd toughest schedule in the NFL based on opponent win percentage.

We play nine games against playoff teams:
Bills (2), Patriots (2), Chargers, Broncos, 49ers, Packers, and Bears.

The teams we play that did not make the playoffs are:
Chiefs, Vikings, Colts, Lions, Bengals, Jets, and Raiders.

I think the Raiders will be significantly better with a new coach and Mendoza.
 
That would be my plan.

I would rather go 0-17 in 2026 if it means we can clean up our books and finally draft a real franchise QB and get this team moving in the right direction than to keep spinning our wheels in constant mediocrity.
Yes. Do this and start Ewers. Maybe take a qb late and have a completion

Its the perfect year to tank with a weak roster, a lot of dead cap space, a brutal schedule and a great QB draft class in 2027.

I.see 4 to 5 win already.
 
Anyone mention possibly adding Malik Willis in the offseason? Good QB competition for Ewers in camp (hopefully we can move on from Tua).
Can’t afford him. More likely we draft Ty Simpson in the first round and trade a low round draft pick for Anthony Richardson to compete.
 
I hope that Ewers develops and is our guy, but I feel he still needs coaching. However I get a gut feeling that Miami will be trading for Mac Jones. Idk why but if that happens then that will be the QB Mike Mcdaniel will go with to save his job while 2026 is on the line.
so annoying, why go through this? Mac is not the answer, might as well go with ewers and suck and get top qb next draft. Mac jones isn't much better than tua when Tua was good. Yeah he looked decent this season, but that's with shannan and that team and his system. Yeah mike came from that, but still, kyle made jimmy g look like somebody when we know jimmy was an average qb. If getting a FA go for malik willis with actual physical talent and tools. save some money with trading waddle maybe and get a pick and use for malik. I like waddle, but he's just not a real no 1guy I thought he could be, but he drops the ball too much, doesn't fight for the ball

great another alabama qb, we've seen how well that's been for nfl qbs. Mac jones a back up and Tua. His talent isn't all that great either

McDumDum needs waaaaaaay more than a QB to turn his career around. Waaaaaay more. I would put him into "The Wizard of Oz" movie to get him fixed up.

Who? Dropsies Waddle?
 
McDaniel will draft Ty Simpson in the first round and bring in a free agent quarterback to compete. Maybe he trades a pick for Anthony Richardson.
Maybe he trades up in the draft by giving up 3 future 1st rd. picks to bring back Mustard! (Raheem Mostert)
