This is not a loss.
I know it feels like one right now. I know there’s panic in some circles because the Miami Dolphins don’t have a starting quarterback, and starting QB candidate Teddy Bridgewater on Thursday decided to pass on the opportunity to fill the job.
And instead Bridgewater thought signing a one-year deal to be a backup with the New Orleans Saints was a better option -- riding the pine behind Drew Brees being more attractive to him than playing every week for his hometown team.
So the optics of this are not good, particularly when you factor the Dolphins are the NFL’s only team without a starter.
