The legend of Ryan Fitzpatrick got a little out of control.
He’s a competent NFL quarterback and a lot of fun to root for. He can get hot for a few weeks at a time. But it was still weird how people freaked out when the Miami Dolphins benched him. Miami replaced a 37-year-old with an 82.1 career passer rating for the fifth pick of the draft.
Tua Tagovailoa is the Dolphins’ future. He might be the present, too.
Sunday was an eye-opening win. The Dolphins offense didn’t do much in Tagovailoa’s first start, because it didn’t need to.
