Miami has a starting QB. No sense in starting a controversy now. Fitz is a great backup to have for games like this.Yes, you absolutely start Fitz from here on out.

Mmm...I think Tua started the controversy with his timid play.Miami has a starting QB. No sense in starting a controversy now. Fitz is a great backup to have for games like this.
You've made your point. Take the win.Any Phins fans still want Tua starting next week? Didn’t think so. They should have given Tua the hook sooner, but Fitz saves their bacon nonetheless. Hopefully for the sake of Phins fans going forward they do the thing they should have done all along... start Fitz.
The announcers were talking about how the Raiders learned a good lessen in the Jets game right before the face mask play.Tough call which is the dumber loss this one or the one the Jets had vs the Raiders.
lol. SeriouslyHow bad is fitz throw if he doesn't get facemasked....
MayockWho does Gruden fire this week in order to pass the buck?

Flores just announced Tua as the starting QB against the Bills.Any Phins fans still want Tua starting next week? Didn’t think so.

Has Flores seen the game film yet?Flores just announced Tua as the starting QB against the Bills.
Lol. Well good luck to Flores with that. Hopefully for his sake he has a quicker hook next time he needs Tua to be bailed out again, which might happen again as soon as next week.Flores just announced Tua as the starting QB against the Bills.
We’ll never know, but it ended up being one of the greatest passes a QB has ever thrown.How bad is fitz throw if he doesn't get facemasked....
You're jokingFlores just announced Tua as the starting QB against the Bills.
Exactly. And for all the people insistent that Tua has to play now to develop, playoffs be damned, Flores is really instituting a rather unique development plan. I’m sure starting him and yanking him out of multiple games now is a real confidence builder.Every week I wonder why Flores won't admit what everyone else can see. That offense is better with Fitz, and there's nothig wrong with Tua sitting and learning. Fitz doesn't wait for 5 yards of separation before throwing. Trust your playmakers.
I’ve been a Dolphins fan for 35 years and that was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. It’s up there with Marino’s fake spike against the Jets.We’ll never know, but it ended up being one of the greatest passes a QB has ever thrown.
My condolencesI’ve been a Dolphins fan for 35 years and that was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen. It’s up there with Marino’s fake spike against the Jets.
The pass to Gesicki down the seam reminded me of Marino.
I agree. Fitz should be starting but I can’t fault the coach for whatever decision he makes.
Fitz is more than a gunslinger. He has good pocket presence to buy time and can run for first downs. Tua doesn't seem to be a good athlete.Mahomes sat for a year, and the rest is history. I'm not sure what the rush is when you have a capable gunslinger who obviously has a better grasp of the offense.
If you're waiting for 5 yards of deperation with these receivers you'll never throw the ball.Every week I wonder why Flores won't admit what everyone else can see. That offense is better with Fitz, and there's nothing wrong with Tua sitting and learning. Fitz doesn't wait for 5 yards of separation before throwing. Trust your playmakers, and he does that when guiding them.
Picking a QB is not easy - look at the bad selections in recent history - Haskins (#15), Rosen (#10), Trubisky (#2), and some that are trending bad including Wentz (#2), Darnold (#3). Flores has picked Tua (#5) and gave up a late 2nd round pick for Rosen, neither of whom will ever make an impact IMO. He needs to pick another QB in the 2021 draft, unless he can convince Fitz that there will really be an open competition in 2021.This a weird situation.
Tua is not helping this team in any way.
Fitz gives them a much better chance at winning. Without that Def, the Dolphins would be laughed at in the league by most of us by now.
Cmon 94 yards? Fitz got 182 in a few minutes. Just no argument and coach going with Tua is a pride thing in my opinion.
No. Under last season's rules the clock would stay stopped inside of the final five minutes. Tennessee did it earlier than that.Could you use a delay of game to run off additional time in that scenario? Similar to what Tennessee did in the playoffs to NE around the 5 minute mark last year. Not sure if different rules in last 2 minutes.
The Dolphins do not win playoff games with Tua this year or next. Fitz would have carved the weak Raiders D up and the game would have been a blow out. The Raiders D is really bad. Tua kept the game close.I don't know how that staff is coaching him, but he looks scared to try anything beyond five yards. Dink and dunk was not his game at Alabama, so I'm not sure what's going on. Either way, he's not ready, plain and simple.
It reminds me a lot of the Bears after Mitch makes a mistake. They lean to 2-yard passes to the sidelines that go 15 yards in the air. I understand that they have injuries, but they have a top 3-5 defense this year also. They would be a great sleeper to go to the SB with Fitz.I don't know how that staff is coaching him, but he looks scared to try anything beyond five yards.

Fitz entered the game with around 9:00 left in the 4th Q...he spearheaded not 1, not 2 but 3 Drives ending with points. Every drive he was under center they scored.The Dolphins do not win playoff games with Tua this year or next. Fitz would have carved the weak Raiders D up and the game would have been a blow out.

Fitz should start if Miami want to win vs the Bills next week. These are all the routes to a playoff spot:Fitz entered the game with around 9:00 left in the 4th Q...he spearheaded not 1, not 2 but 3 Drives ending with points. Every drive he was under center they scored.
Miami had 13 when he entered and 26 when he left, the Phins needed every single one of those 13 points Fitz produced in the late 4th.
