QB Petty Comes To Miami… Fans Get ‘Young’ QB After All
QB Petty Comes To Miami… Fans Get ‘Young’ QB After All
Petty is now a Miami Dolphin… So what now?
Petty has ‘QB whisperer’ Gase to help him turn his garbage play into gold
Fourth Round Pick Bryce Petty was supposed to be the man to lead the New York Jets. But with the selection of 3rd overall pick Sam Darnold, the Jets now have a new savior. So Petty and his seven career starts (1-6 record), 53.1 competition percent, 1,353 yards, four touchdowns and 10 interceptions were kicked to the curb.
The Dolphins were low enough on the totem pole to ‘win’ Petty by claiming him off the waiver wire.
Petty is a Dolphin and under the tutelage of ‘QB whisperer’ Adam Gase.
At one time, Gase was legitimately believed to be a man who could dramatically turn a QB around. Now, this monicker has become somewhat of a joke thrown around by disgruntled fans. But if we look at it critically, Gase did have Ryan Tannehill trending upward before his injury. His time with Payton Manning doesn’t count: Payton was great and Gase was an afterthought in his success. On the plus side, Gase did manage Tim Tebow to a postseason win, and in his one year with the Bears, Jay Cutler was at his ‘most disciplined’…
…Of course, to be fair, Culter / Gase ‘part deux’ was a disaster.
So, 3 out of 4 ain’t bad! No? Gase will have to prove it or lose it in 2018
This will be a prime storyline in Gase’s revival or collapse… and in the acquisition of Petty: Can Gase develop at least one of these reclamation projects: Osweiler, Petty, or Fales. And more importantly in the ‘QB whisperer’ storyline: Can Gase get Tannehill to where he was before the injury… and go even beyond that?
All four QB’s will have plenty of time with Gase before the season starts to get it together. Will Petty be a factor?
Petty says he wants to work on his throwing motion. That’s never a good thing at this level. Changing the way you’ve been throwing your whole life is very difficult at this stage of QB’s career. Ask Tim Tebow how tough it was. At this point, pay per head bookie software has Petty a step above just released Brandon Doughty. Most likely both Fales and Osweiler will beat him out. But just like Gase, he’ll get his shot at redemption.
Petty was a cheap roll of the dice and a smart move even if he gets the boot
I have believed in Gase since his arrival. But I thought the worst bumps in the process would have happened in 2016… 2017 was a very unpleasant surprise. Gase was raw, put a staff together ‘Helter Skelter’, had a series of unfortunate circumstances, and a poor talent base. Those are most of the excuses for the disaster of last season. The 2018 Season has none of that… so it’s put up or shut up. Gase has plenty of QBs to work with now… let’s see if he’s really a QB whisperer or not. Go Phins!!!
The Quarterbacks who we think should do well in this league seems to flopped in this league. NIC seems to have those intangibles that will one day have him playing in a Super Bowl. When his number is called he performed to the challenge and his teammates followed.
The 2018 Miami Dolphins are in a rebuilding year. Threw the draft they have added value to this team.
Everyone who reads this forum no that I’m an advocate of trading back for more picks. Getting Fitzpatrick at the 11th picked was well worth staying put.
We are slowly getting the pieces, Defensive Tackles who can take over a game may come next season, Hopefully we will have a good selection of Quarterbacks who can ride the bench for a season or two. And we Should draft a Competitive Quarterback each season.
Its still possible that Tannehill will stay healthy. Bryce Petty I don’t know much about him but I like what I have seen so far from him, Maybe he can developed in Miami. Maybe the current Defensive tackles will surprise everyone. My questioned Admin with the money spent on Jay Cutler last season, Could the Dolphins have brought in 2 Pro Bowl Defensive Tackles for some years?
What were some of the options:
Contrary to a report, the Dolphins did not pursue Memphis undrafted rookie quarterback Riley Ferguson , who joined Tampa Bay.
They did show a bit of interest in Texas Tech’s Nic Shimonek, who signed with San Diego after the draft. But they essentially weren’t greatly enamored with any of the undrafted QBs. Contrary to a report, the Dolphins did not pursue Memphis undrafted rookie quarterback Riley Ferguson , who joined Tampa Bay.
Hey, your man Nic got a lot of love from PFF. They put out an article saying he was 1 of the 10 UDFA who’d be a shocker. I’m going to be very interested in watching him, White, Falk, and Lauletta. Petty has some upside, but he has a high cliff wall to climb. Osweiler and Fales seem just stop gaps… maybe Fales sticks as a BU… but nothing more… he has a Fielder vibe. Osweiler just seems dumb or skittish. Petty just seems so raw…
There’s no way I can’t justifiably refute you 100%, ace. The first 3 games this season will determine if you are right. Heck, I might even go so far as say the 1st Qtr of game one. I still believe in him, but that belief took a massive hit last season. Discipline, quick starts, consistency, and QB play will be a bright and shining neon sign of failure or success for Gase.

I hoping we study the QB’s who will play in pre season, Like the two above.

Overrated is what Adam Gase is all about.
