I was thinking of that exact same name yesterday when Fromm was struggling. At various points with Fromm I can go anywhere from McCarron to a poor man's Drew Brees.
Steve DeBerg is another name that comes to mind. He was close to Fromm's stature and style of play. DeBerg was the impetus behind the famous "just good enough to get you beat" line from Bill Walsh.
Fromm's offense is plenty good enough to produce plays. Don't be laughable and insert a post-outcome topic that was never a theme until yesterday. That is the surest sign of adjuster desperation and rationalization.
Regardless, the Dolphins; loss today was crucial. In this imbalanced era often there are multiple teams with 2 wins or fewer. If the Dolphins had won today it would have been basically throwing away the entire premise behind this season.
It was idiotic for the Redskins to attempt that 55 yard field goal at the outset of the 4th quarter. I jumped up and was telling that to everyone in the room. The reward does not match the situational risk. Via a miss you are handing a lifeless team the ball at the 45 yard line. That's exactly what happened. I had no idea Fitzpatrick would enter the game following that miss but once he did you could sense the immediate change. Rosen does a lot of things better than Fitzpatrick but Rosen is kind of a moody player who doesn't have much spark when things are going poorly. Meanwhile Fitzpatrick is like Tannehill in that he doesn't care. He is accustomed to losing so he'll go out there and pad his stats late and if a victory shows up...that's fine also.
Fortunately the Dolphins ran the moronic halfback tunnel screen on the 2 point attempt. That's the same idiotic philosophy as a 3rd down screen: Instead of reducing variables and simply throwing aggressively beyond the marker (in this case the goal line) we'll get cute and complete something way back behind the line of scrimmage. What could possibly go wrong? I'm sure the Redskins will play passively and allow Kenyon Drake to sashay into the end zone.
