Mike McDaniel ends Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers battle with one clear choice

There are Miami Dolphins fans who believe rookie Quinn Ewers is going to overtake Zach Wilson for the backup quarterback job. After the first preseason game, it looked as though both were mistakes.

Wilson's second preseason game was better, but not great, while Ewers improved considerably after his week one jitters faded. That led many to see a pathway for Ewers to overtake Wilson.

On Saturday, Mike McDaniel made it clear that Wilson is the number two quarterback, and Wilson made sure everyone knew the job was his.
