Brissett? Who is Brissett? A shot in the dark. He played three games and did almost nothing, by gameplan. In the game where he was asked to do a bit more he couldnt deliver, and was injured.

Garoppolo might be good and could have a pretty good value, with two major caveat:

1- He got injured after six quarters of football. Not promising. It wasnt evene a particularly good shot he took.

2- How many Patriots backup had success outside new england? The best of the bunch is probably Cassell. That doesnt mean much in itself, Garoppolo looks talented and a good guy, but makes me be very cautious if I'm a GM.

Moore didnt show much that Tannehill didnt show before him, and he has a competitive advantage in the fact he is a mistery box right now because of the last 5 years on the bench. Ryan is better, younger, more talented. Also keep in mind that Moore is one concussion from retirement. As I said I'm sure he is an above average backup and better than some starters, but not better than Tannehill. I still do hope he plays well this evening and earns another AFC player of the week and we beat the BIlls

I think his logic is that to make receivers great, you have to have a good QB (unless you want to keep Tannehill and keep losing), and a good OL. To get the good QB, you have to free up some more cap space than Miami has (yes I know they have good cap room right now) But, along with the QB, bolster the front. Wrong. You dont need cap space to get a new good qb. You can get him almost exclusively through drafting and rookies are a bargain. Other than that in the real world ryan tannehill is our starting quarterback, he is a better than average starter not easy to replace at all (look how many qbs fail or endure major growing pains: Wentz, Goff, bortles, Petty, bridgewater, Lynch, Osweiler, even winston according to gatr). Other than that our qb guru head coach likes him a lot, he just lead us to a 7-1 winning streak before the injury so I can live with that kind of losing, over a full season it usually traslates in to a first round bye in the playoffs. I know, reality is hard to believe at times To an extent I agree. Qbs are really hard to replace.

I had forgotten about them alright. Garrapollo might be a good shout if you can get him. He is largely untested and no one wants to end up with Matt Cassel as their starter. I would keep Tannehill and trade the loser of the competition.

Garrapollo might be expensive with plenty of teams far more desperate for a qb. I don't think the Dolphins have the team to go all in just yet anyway so I feel a slower approach is better.

PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYOFFS?????????

with the patriots beatdown on the jets i think they would be fools to start brady or any other important player next week

Defense got hashed today, but Phins still managed to pull off a huge win.

Full credit to Gaze and the rest of the staff for taking a team that looked done after.Week 5 to the brink of the post season. I know the schedule was favourable, but you can only beat what's put in front of you.
