The Miami Dolphins: a team without a quarterback

[True Dough]

The Dolphins have shipped Ryan Tannehill off to the Titans to become a backup to Marcus Mariota. Miami is getting a few draft picks in return.

Can anyone get Dan Marino on the horn?

1. I find it hilarious that two QBs turned down the

opportunity to start (Tyrod Taylor and Teddy Bridgewater).

2. Calling Colin Kaepernick ...

3. What's the likelihood?

The way things are going in today's NFL, I'd expect Miami to make an offer to A.J. McCarron or someone else first.

5. Probably nil

Another QB looking for work: AJ McCarron, Carr's back-up with the Raiders.

9. I don't think so

Forget the kneeling. If Kaepernick can't progress from being a read-option quarterback, he'll never get signed to another NFL roster.

10. NFL teams viewed him as a starting QB

His last game as a pro he threw for over 9 yards per pass attempt and has the second lowest (tied with Brady) career average for interception rate. I can't forget the kneeling because the NFL settled.

11. While Kaepernick threw over 9 yards per pass attempt in his last game against the Seahawks

Sam Bradford got a starting job where threw for 5 yards per pass attempt..

4. Case Keemun to the rescue!

As long as the Dolphins prefer an upside down TD to Interception ratio, he's their guy.

6. Did you write that

aware of the fact that the Broncos traded Keenum to Washington a few days ago?

You think Washington was looking to flip Keenum elsewhere?

[JDC]

7. I think he might get shuffled, yes.

The Broncos are covering 1/2 his salary, which makes him attractive imo. But then again, Wash could use the saved money on building and maybe Keemun fits into their plans this year. As I type this out, my hyperbole seems like just that....

What say you?

[True Dough]

8. With Alex Smith out this season

and Colt McCoy being the "go to" guy if Keenum's not in the picture, I don't know if Washington can afford to trade Keenum unless they're getting another QB in return.

12. And Miami turns to "FitzMagic"

May not be the only QB they sign, but he's now on board.
