The old axiom says, “If you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterback.” A team needs one leader, one player under center to take the team forward. There must be a clear starter, a player who takes the practice repetitions. This is the way of football. This is the way teams win.
Except, as Michael Irvin said last night in the post-game coverage, Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is breaking traditions and is being masterful at doing it. Miami has two quarterbacks, and they are making it work. They have a starter in rookie Tua Tagovailoa, and he will remain as the team’s starter.
