I'm pretty certain Rosen is there to be a cost controlled backup for Tua.

I'm just worried our D might be competent enough to steal a game or two.

Reading/hearing a lot about peak QB seasons being college seasons - that basically no-one is better than they were in college and performances there can be seen as a ceiling. In which case Rosen's limit is... fine but not amazing.

I think Fitz was fine at the point they acquired him - no QB on the roster, absolutely taking in 2019. Then the Rosen trade popped up (which I think you have to take at that price) and then Fitz became pretty pointless. I'd start Rosen all season regardless. The worst that happens is he sucks and then you know and draft someone else with a high draft pick.

And yeah, that's a great tweet from Stills.

Oh yeah, I have no criticism of the team here, their failure to trawl for unexpected QB success is one of the key criticisms of regimes past.

I'm just not going to be as sad watching them get squelched as I would Tanny or next years first rounder

If kicker was an issue for me, and the guy could both kick and punt, I'd pay a 5th for an extra roster spot.

I'll believe it when I see it though.

Lance Zierlein and some Houston sport radio guy are saying the Texans had worked out a trade with the Dolphins for Clowney but it was called off when he wouldn't sign sign a long term deal with them.

The Dolphins should probably not be spending high value draft assets on top of the market guys either.

Yeah that seems extremely wierd unless they're fire saleing him

It's a great upgrade on the usual, I agree.

Let's face it, the Dolphins are never going to be good, so it's at least nice to not feel like a bad person for cheering them.

Gase is a weird one because there a number of things he's actually good at, it's just that his bizarre insistence on finding and stanning his guys, and his utter contempt for either line means that he sabotages all his good qualities

Minkah excels in coverage...put him in a where coverage is the least important skill.

Minkah could be a great free safety, slot corner or boundary. Instead, since we have competent guys at free safety, slot and boundary, put him in at strong safety since he is better than what else we have there. I see the logic, but drat, we're wasting a great player in a place where he's just better than the rest, not actually good.

I get the feeling they want him to play literally everywhere and are getting him reps at his "weakest" position

All those pages of arguments on who’s better, the Jets or Bills, and it’s gonna be the Dolphins that end up with the best season.

If by best season you mean zero wins and Tua, yes, I agree. Thee Dolphins o line is, by itself, bad enough to garuntee that, and the moment you scratch the surface the utter lack of depth appears

He’s probably safe, but why are all these teams putting in cold calls for Tunsil in the first place? Things that make you think...

Because everyone needs a left tackle and the Dolphins are dumb

I like Stills, but if he can get to a team with some chance of winning, good for him. Jones is someone they should get what they can for him, he won't be around when the winning happens. Alonso is no longer starting quality. McMillan, I think he's a keeper, see if you can hide his failures at pass D.

I'd be fine with trading any of them.

The only people on the roster who should be completely protected are X, Minkah, Wilkins, Baker and Tunsil. Oh and Sanders.
