YoloinOhio Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Took some 1st team reps in practice this week http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article192145964.html Quote The Miami Dolphins know they need to add a new quarterback for 2018. This isn’t conjecture or speculation on my part. I’ve been told by club sources that, yes, they are aware they need a quarterback. (I got the feeling they also would like me to simply accept that, shut up, and let them work things out without me screaming that they must draft a quarterback.) So with that need now out in the open, the Dolphins are about to undergo a serious study of all their available quarterback options. There are different ways the team might fill its need depending on how serious the personnel department views that need. And it’s likely to start on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. That’s when coach Adam Gase might give backup David Fales some playing time. Fales, 27 and in his third NFL season, has thrown only five passes in the NFL — in Chicago during the 2015 season when Gase was the Bears offensive coordinator.

Heavy Kevi Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Could be a decoy move to force us to plan for him (whatever that means)... If not, I would be happy to see a rook. I do think the phins would like nothing more than to knock us out, as I believe we knocked them out a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRUSHx Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I don't think they will start him unless Cutler starts off really bad or I could see them playing him the second half especially if they get a big lead, that is if they really even want to win this game. If the kid does really well they strike some gold. Miami might be thinking draft order and just throw this game to us. If this kid lights it up Miami could look to use him as trade bait with TanyHill. This is a good draft to grab a QB prospect..

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 This is bad news. Cutler is the best qb on the field at throwing to Bills players. Normally, I get worried that the Bills are going to lose a game in a painful last second way. I never think that with Cutler. He is the most consistent qb at choking.

Bob in STL Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The Bills need a fast start and they need to put up TDs early and often. Get Miami to run for the bus and bring in the rookie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Fales, Cutler, no matter who starts. The Bills just might win big. Especially if Miami goes into evaluation mode today.

Also, lest us not forget that this franchise has a knack for pulling breakout debut performances and career games out of unknown opponents.
