Summary

Miami Dolphins face a crossroads at quarterback as Tua Tagovailoa’s long-term future hangs in the balance. Can the Dolphins finally raise the bar at QB after years of searching for answers since Dan Marino? Kyle Crabbs explores whether Miami should continue with Tagovailoa, seek a high-upside draft prospect, or target a veteran trade amid durability and regression concerns. Key topics include the franchise’s troubling draft history at quarterback, potential targets like Mac Jones, Anthony Richardson, and Carson Beck, and the challenges of landing a top-tier passer if Miami’s win-loss record keeps them out of prime draft territory. Kyle Crabbs also breaks down the ripple effects of new front office hires, looming contract decisions, and how the Dolphins can reshape their QB room to reignite playoff hopes in the AFC. Is Miami ready to embrace bold change, or risk repeating a familiar cycle?
