It took Mike McDaniel four years to realize what Brian Flores knew in two

There was always doubt, and there was always a shred of hope. Tua Tagovailoa was the Miami Dolphins' highest-drafted quarterback since Bob Griese. He was supposed to be the guy who would make everyone forget about all the other starting quarterbacks since Dan Marino.

On Sunday in week 16, the Dolphins will start their 27th quarterback since Marino retired. Tagovailoa, now benched in favor of Quinn Ewers, is a poster child for the Dolphins' continued mistakes at the position.

Heading into 2022, the Dolphins were considering a quarterback change. It was Brian Flores who was fired at the end of the season and replaced by Mike McDaniel.
