Article below that the Dolphins need a high end backup for Tua is obviously give or take correct. The issue is, Tua already has a huge contract. If the Dolphins pay up for a backup, the money to pay talent for the rest of the team drops even further. Which cannot happen, because they are already up against it. How is this supposed to work? I am not sure it can. There will be no high end backup for Tua. Miami is going to have to hope they can find someone pretty good, on a good deal. It is possible. Darnold was a 1 year, $10mm deal, but structured so this years cap hit was only $5mm. Flacco was 1 year, $4.5mm. So those guys are out there, but you have to trust Miami to get it right, which they haven't so far. Then the other issue, it seems challenging for other QBs to run the Tua offense, for whatever reason. Or maybe it is challenging for McDaniel to adapt the offense to other QBs. Also if use a high draft pick to try and solve for the problem, that is another version of the position getting expensive. We need the draft capital to fill some obvious holes on the roster. This is a tricky issue to solve for, and neither answer sadly, is great.
Dolphins need a high-end backup quarterback, for the rest of Tua Tagovailoa's career
It would be foolish to assume Tua won't suffer another concussion.
