It's too early to say either way whether Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers is on a Brock Purdy-esque trajectory as a seventh-round pick who somehow becomes a franchise field general. However, the early returns through two starts are very promising.
So much so that Miami could have a legitimate chance to upset the AFC East-leading New England Patriots in Week 18 with Ewers under center.
There is no question that Ewers is playing with more confidence than his benched predecessor, Tua Tagovailoa. That much was clear when Ewers led the Fins to a 20-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
