The Dolphins’ quarterback situation has been handled since 2012 by Ryan Tannehill and Matt Moore, and they are headed for a fifth season together as the team’s top two signal-callers.

Tannehill is entering the second year of the five-year contract extension he signed last offseason and Moore re-signed in March after he became an unrestricted free agent.

The other two quarterbacks on the roster joined the Dolphins in the offseason, Zac Dysert as a free agent and Brandon Doughty as a seventh-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

the biggest question of training camp at the position is whether Doughty and Dysert can impress the coaching staff enough to convince the Dolphins to keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster.

• Ryan Tannehill (6-4, 216) — Tannehill impressed Head Coach Adam Gase and offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen in the offseason with his work ethic and his ability to handle mental challenges thrown his way. The question now is whether that can translate into a breakout season for Tannehill, who took a step back in 2015 after an impressive 2014 performance.

• Brandon Doughty (6-3, 217) — The Fort Lauderdale product joined the Dolphins after a brilliant career at Western Kentucky, where he led the NCAA in passing yards and touchdown passes twice, and in completion percentage in 2015. Doughty doesn’t have elite arm strength, but Gase praised Doughty in the offseason for his ability to find a way to turn seemingly bad situations into positive plays. If Doughty can continue that throughout training camp and the preseason, that might be enough to convince the Dolphins to keep him on the 53-man roster.

Man, I'm really hoping Doughty makes the team. I have been checking out a lot on this kid. ck posted some great vids and info on him. Check it out if you haven't yet done so. I've watched many games and plays. He is indeed very impressive and has the great mental make up I love in a QB. It's a great story and connection to Miami and the Phins as well, but it's really about him as a player and again, I think he's quite impressive. Who knows ? Could be cool. ..and we'll see dolphin25 be a very happy camper. :pointlol:

I doubt that he doesn't. I like him.

what are cap savings if we cut Moore?

You know I am on board with this one. I feel confident he will make the team, now just not sure if as backup or if he will be on the roster each game.
