Dolphins Q&A: Why does Ryan Fitzpatrick produce more chunk plays than Tua Tagovailoa?

Here’s the latest installment of our Miami Dolphins Q&A, where South Florida Sun Sentinel writers Safid Deen and Omar Kelly answer questions from readers.

A: Although it’s been a problem having Miami’s top playmakers available each week, and certainly the offense could use upgrades this offseason, the disparity in yards per completion comes down to each quarterback’s level of experience.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is a 15-year veteran, a Harvard graduate who produced a perfect Wonderlic score. He’s one of the smartest and most charismatic players I’ve ever covered.

And nobody with the Dolphins has a better mastery of Chan Gailey’s offense, because this is Fitzpatrick’s sixth season working in it.
