Skylar will get the ball this week regardless.
Bridgewater will play a backup role if he is cleared.
I’m surprised… maybe they believe Bridgewater is not likely to clear? Even though the story we have been getting indicates he should clear.
I’m also surprised they announced this on Wednesday.
Why tip your personnel decisions to the opposition defense so early in the week? You can tell Skylar without telling the world.
Books haven’t moved the line much on this news;
Went from MIN -3
To now MIN -3.5

3-3, here we come.

This whole thing seems very suspicious.
Almost like the NFL has stepped in and is playing a role in our personnel decisions.
Even though Teddy was never concussed. He went in protocol.
You can bet the NFL doesn’t want him playing the next week and getting injured. It would be Tua all over again and the exact same team in the spotlight.(PR nightmare)
Making a public Announcement on this decision on a Wednesday? Very Weird!!
If Teddy is cleared tmrw, he should be starting! Why not wait?
If Teddy/Tua aren’t cleared…. why not wait anyways? Keep Minny defense at a competitive disadvantage of not knowing who they will face all week.(It could have been any 1 of 3 quarterbacks)
From a Miami Dolphins standpoint. It makes no sense. From a league image standpoint it does though…Last edited: Oct 12, 2022Springveldt, resnor, dolphin25 and 1 other person like this. -
If Bridgewater is cleared and Skylar starts, that disproves this notion that there's no way McDaniel would start Skylar over Bridgewater while we're still in the division race. Would be great. Bridgewater is a known 50% win% commodity. Skylar we don't know. His decision making was too slow, and he wasn't familiar with the playbook in his first start, but you can't tell without further NFL experience whether he can quickly improve on those things or not. Play him more to find out.
But yeah 3-3 seems likely. Never know though. Lots of surprises in the NFL this year (how are the Giants 4-1 btw??).resnor and Pennington's Limp Arm like this. -
He has been on the roster the entire season (and off season). He said he prepares every week like he is going to start.
Did He/someone indicate he didn’t understand the plays? I just never heard this take from last week.dolphin25 likes this. -
I would assume he would rather have Skylar with a full week of practice than Teddy with just some practice but I don't know about that one.
Hopefully he believes Skylar is capable of a lot more than what we saw which was a tough situation for him to be in to be fair.dolphin25 and Pennington's Limp Arm like this. -

Will be happy if I lose the money…. -
This is a Miami Dolphins rule that will stick with us until Tua and McDaniels are gone. And no im not calling for his firing, but the NFL and their spotters have put a target on us and we will be unfairly ruled against because of Tua’s consecutive injuries. That will be the cost of keeping Mcdaniels unfortunately. At some point, if they continue doing this to us, it will be too costly for us to keep him. We will see how the season ends.

Josina Anderson says Tua is also unlikely to play next week against the Steelers as well. It could even linger further than that.

I feel like if Teddy is active and does not start, there should be a 30 for 30 about the last month of this season.
I have so many questions that could not be answered in a few tweets or even an article.Pennington's Limp Arm and resnor like this. -

I don't think all is lost yet for this game. Skylar just needs to trust himself more and let go of the ball. I watched someone break down the All-22 and there were tons of plays were we had guys running free and Skylar pumped the ball a couple of times instead of just letting it go. If you watch the strip sack that put the game away he actually has guys wide open but for some reason doesn't throw the ball. Hopefully with a full week of practice he will start to see these opportunities and take advantage of them.

Wrong. It is. We won't win a game until Tua gets back. -

Joe Rose took some shots at Mike McDaniel this morning over the ping pong table comments.

McDaniel was the coach everyone loved...until Tua went down at Buffalo. Then, he suddenly became a laughingstock for something that wasn't his decision to make and for losing to the Jets with his third-string QB in. The media in general is a bunch of drooling morons, the sports media doubly so.

This forum would explode into dust if Justin Fields or Carson Wentz was the quarterback.
Thompson stinks but he looks more competent than these two bozos. -
If Wentz was our backup QB, I could live with that. He wouldn't be worse than either of the two we have now. -
Fields has been down and hurt 3-5 different times tonight. He's stayed down every time. I think this is the new memo to coaches. Stay down, do not get up.

The last two Thursday night games have to be in the top 5 most boring games ever. Amazon might give back their NFL rights at this rate, lol.
PS. The Bears are going to ruin any chance Fields has at a career. Wentz is finished. He was never the same after his injury, and it’s been a downward spiral ever since.
