He's the Accidental TouristWe put incentives in contracts to reward results. When an incentive is achieved, the franchise and player should both be happy... just not the self-loathing tank fan.

I'd pull him for Rosen, but it would have nothing to do with his contract or money.
I'd like to see flo give him the final 4 games. Unfortunately pulling Ryan now doesn't make sense as Flo is able to eval more with him over rosen.I'd pull him for Rosen, but it would have nothing to do with his contract or money.
I'd imagine the last 2-4 games are penciled in for Rosen to start again.
Remember, they get to see this kid everyday in the building and on the field.
Remember this coaching staff have been around Tom Brady, Jimmy G, The kid in Indy etc.
I'm going to trust they have a decent idea of what a QB needs to look like both on and off the field.
I'm going to trust that they have a decent idea of what they NEED that QB to look like in their system.
If that's the idea, then we traded a 2 for a back-up which sucks. Maybe swinging away was worth the possibility of a homerun but it's looking like a miss. And it's a bad miss.
We true fans try to sell ourselves on such moves. Many thought the move was smart. How many second round picks were rated top 10 out of college and how many seconds pan out? I get it. But if they truly are THAT great at evaluating QBs, tape shouldve been enough. They should've had the foresight to realize they were taking the same QB they saw in Arizona and putting him in a similar situation. Now, that might be unfair to the coaching staff because maybe they had zero input on the trade, that it was all front office.
You make a plethora of sense but I've seen athletes be bumbs in practice only to be beasts come game day. And I've seen gym champions be game chumps.
I have a ton of respect for Fitz. It's no wonder team after team trust him. And I want to win. I'm not a tank wanter. But I'd rather give Rosen the experience regardless of what he looks like in practice.
It's a moot point. You cant justify sitting what he showed on Sunday. Can't justify it in the lockerroom. Can't justify it for the fans.
We're a team that doesn't and haven't had a serious talent at QB since Marino. IMO, it means there's no such thing as a "bad miss" when it comes to trying to find that QB.
I'd rather have bad misses trying to hit on the QB than miss on another DE,WR, TE etc. Let's say you hit on some other talent not named QB...great! So what? You're probably still not making the playoffs and other sustain success. Now lets say you hit on that QB? Need I say more?
In this league if you don't have a QB then you don't have anything!
It's one of the reason I can't understand why some are so upset. Yes! Wish we hit on Rosen..but how could you be upset at the attempt to kick the tires on a former Top 10 QB selection one year removed?
Some act like we have a "choice" and can be "cute" with our picks. We have NO CHOICE in anything until we hit on a QB.
Also, If you combine Rosen's playing time in Arizona and in Miami then how much more "on the field" do you need to see before you can conclude, as of now, the kid doesn't have it?
Further, If we stuck with Rosen would we have seen more of what Geliski, P.Williams, Parker etc can do? Not to mention the kid setting folks up to get KILLED see Hurns.
Plus he has the best beard on the team which I’m sure is the subject of a lot of jokes and ribbing. It’s not enough down there - who needs all that extra insulation?As much as I want to see if Rosen has anything we can use for the future, having Fitzpatrick has been invaluable for this team. Forget what he has or hasn't done on the field, the guy is a leader. Many players on a young, 0 and 7 team will give up. Our guys are fighting, and they seem to be having fun, including Fitz. The guy seems to always be smiling. He is leading this young group of guys, so whether he is on the field or holding a clipboard, he is making an impact. Might as well pay him for that.
I think our coaching staff already knows what they have RIGHT NOW in Rosen. He isn’t ready to lead a bad team. Putting him on the field is the same as putting him in a position to fail. We already watched what happened once this season. Not sure why fans want to see the kids career completely destroyed to find out the answer to a question that everyone already knows.
Convenient that nothing specific is mentioned. All players have bonuses in their contracts. That's how the Patriots can afford to keep Brady all these years. I promise you Fitz will not meet any of these incentives. He's not even putting up the yardage numbers he did last year in Tampa where he actually set NFL recordsSome might say that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick - bless his heart - could cost the Dolphins a chance at the first overall draft pick because of his penchant for occasional bursts of excellence. He also stands to cost them financially, too, though it’s nothing the team cannot afford.
Unless he’s yanked from the lineup, Fitzpatrick likely will cost the Dolphins a couple million dollars more than what he would have cost them had Josh Rosen won the starting quarterback job.
According to a copy of his contract obtained by The Miami Herald, Fitzpatrick has several incentives that, if reached, could make him the NFL’s most expensive backup quarterback next season.

Why is anything guaranteed in his contract for next season?
