Rosen looked lost against the tough Redskins front last week
Brian Flores announced that the starting quarterback for the Bills game is Ryan Fitzpatrick and not Josh Rosen.
A shocker? Not really.
Yes, only a couple of weeks after declaring Rosen the starting QB for the season, Flores has changed his mind. But, after Rosen’s performance against the Redskins, this is the only sane decision he could make against a ferocious Bills defense.
This is simply a reality check and not an indictment on anyone. Just look at Baker Mayfield and how poor he is playing behind a weak O-line. It’s also unfair to call Flores “wishy-washy” because trying to force a square peg in a round hole would be worse than making a QB change.
You can bet with the pay per head software that Rosen still has some very rough edges to his game. The best move for Rosen and the Phins is for him to go back to the developmental phase. Miami has Rosen for a few more seasons on the cheap. At the very least he’s a solid and inexpensive backup with potential. But, if he develops into anything more than an average QB, even if it takes a couple of seasons, Miami will come out of the deal winning.
Now, I won’t go as far as Joe Shad and declare that this move dispels all the ‘tank’ talk.
The reality is Rosen would get destroyed by the Bills. And if the Dolphins get destroyed this week after the heartbreaking last-second loss against the abysmal Reskins, even the most stout player could start to check out. Rosen himself could mentally take a step back if he has a terrible outing as well. And actually, a blowout loss because of a Rosen collapse while Fitzpatrick sat in the wings would fuel the tank talk.
Starting Fitzpatrick is not just the best option, but it’s also the only one.
Tank talk no more… because no one really knows
Despite my last article, we will never know the truth about the tank.
I’ve been a staunch defender of Grier and Flores and rejected all the talk tanking. But ‘that’ play call made this near 50-year-old feel the emotion for football that I had as a kid. There have only been a handful of times that has happened since Marino retired: when the Phins lost in the 2008 playoffs, when they won their one game in 2007, and when the Giants beat the Patriots to stop them from having a perfect season.
Last week’s game, revealed how invested I am in Brian Flores the man and the decisions to rebuild. I really want them to succeed. This regime has me pulling for them as well as the Miami Dolphins franchise itself. I guess it’s good to know that that type of childlike fandom still exists.
Maybe I lost objectivity… maybe not. Who knows what’s going on behind the current but the puppet masters themselves.
Reality is though if this team goes 0-16, trolls will counter the Perfect Season with the ‘Perfect Flop’… and that will be a shame. I think of how different my 8-year old son’s experience with the Dolphins than mine was.
That bothers me too.
Some say this team is worse than the 2007 team. I disagree. If Cam Cameron and Cleo Lemon can get one win so can this team. Whether it’s Fitzpatrick or Rosen, I could care less. I hoped for 6 wins this season to prove Flores was more than average. That’s not going to happen. Now, I just want one… one damn win, and whoever throws the football be damned. Just win one, please. Go Phins!!!
