I’m all for this hire. They needed a vet presence and they got one. I never once thought they were going to go with what they have. They needed a journeyman vet to play out this year. I was thinking either Fitz or McCown was going to be hired.
BingoHow does this make more sense than Tannehill? Unless they plan on drafting someone
Our losses will be more entertaining now, lol. That’s the only thing that changes with this move. We’re still going 4-12 at best unless we improve our roster dramatically between now and week 1.
I would’ve gone with McCarron instead to secure the tank, but Fitzpatrick will at least be more fun to watch.
Bingo
He's a good back up. But the Tank crowd wont be happy.
......"IF" they even tryIs it? This guy will win us 6 games somehow.
He's not seeing $20 millionit could be 20mill?????
Ryan Fitzpatrick QB, Miami Dolphins
Dolphins signed Ryan Fitzpatrick, formerly of the Bucs, to a two-year, $11 million contract.
Incentives could reportedly boost his deal to a max value of $20 million. Fresh off a 2,300-yard campaign in eight appearances with the Bucs last season, the 36-year-old 14-year vet will be instilling magic into a Dolphins offense that quietly has explosive receivers in place to mesh with Fitzpatrick's uncanny gunslinger mentality. If Miami is truly tanking to be in a better position down the road, Fitzpatrick makes for the perfect placeholder as he can help sell tickets with his boom-or-bust downfield approach all the while inevitably keeping the team as bottom-dwellers in the AFC. If Fitzpatrick proves to be too competent, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Fins turn to Luke Falk or Jake Rudock down the stretch.

Tannehill is a good back up...
If Fitzpatrick was on the team last year,he would have also lost the last three games of the season...same tier QB.
