It was clear within the Miami Dolphins’ 24-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday that so long as they’ve a query mark at quarterback, their on-field product goes to be awfully arduous to observe.
Beginning QB Tua Tagovailoa is sidelined for not less than the following three video games (and probably longer if the workforce desires to guard Tagovailoa from himself), and the Dolphins ought to assume lengthy and arduous about buying one other signal-caller in the event that they don’t need their playoff hopes to slide away earlier than the Thanksgiving vacation.
With Tagovailoa out, listed below are three passers Miami ought to contemplate buying and selling for who might assist save its season.
Jimmy Garoppolo
Garoppolo is already accustomed to head coach Mike McDaniel’s offensive philosophy from their time collectively in San Francisco, and he was fairly profitable working a Kyle Shanahan-style offense with the 49ers (he had a 38-17 file in SF and led the workforce to a Tremendous Bowl.
With the weapons Miami has — Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane — Garoppolo might make a seamless transition and he wouldn’t have the strain of carrying the workforce like he did in Las Vegas final season. Garoppolo can also be on a one-year contract, so there could be no long-term dedication to him past this season.
Joe Flacco
Flacco did a heck of a job on the finish of final season taking on because the Cleveland Browns starter and main the workforce to a 4-1 file and playoff look. The 39-year-old QB threw for 300 yards or extra in 5 of his six begins, together with the playoffs, and throwing to the likes of Hill and Waddle, he might common 300 yards per sport in Miami.
Flacco, who’s on a one-year contract, has received a Tremendous Bowl, has loads of playoff expertise, nonetheless has a reasonably robust NFL arm, and he could be a major improve over Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle and Tyler Huntley.
Jameis Winston
Winston is a little bit of a wild card (and a head case, at instances), however he has 80 video games of beginning expertise within the NFL with a 5,109-yard, 33-touchdown season below his belt. Positive, the Dolphins must dwell with some bone-headed interceptions and some questionable choices, however that’s simply a part of the Winston expertise.
The 30-year-old can push the ball down the sector, he could make a number of the simple throws that Thompson, Boyle and Huntley routinely miss, and he can do away with the ball shortly to Hill and Waddle and allow them to do the remaining. Like Garoppolo and Flacco, Winston can also be on a one-year contract, so he might get Miami via this season and each side can stroll away in March.
