Thank you, Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Tua Tagovailoa Era has officially started.

And for Dolphins fans, this is an exciting time.

But lost in the transition from the 37-year old journeyman to the young Samoan Southpaw is that the Miami Dolphins undisputed leader in the locker room—is no longer the team’s starting QB.

So, while we were all fangirling over Tagovailoa being named the team’s starting quarterback (guilty), let’s take time to address the elephant in the room. And that is that without Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Miami Dolphins would not be headed in the upward trajectory they currently are.
