Is it time to kick up the 'Dolphins are rebuilding again' topic?

Minshew is the starter. Got it.

I have a feeling Minny goes with Tanneyhill as a 1-2 year option at QB.

I would think Darnold or Tanney.

And I am going to be offline for quite a while coming up as I learn to come to grips with the fact that we are going to use our 1st round pick on McCarthy.

Sure looks like Justin Fields's market just got smaller. He's either going to be a bridge for ...someone like Minny...or else he'll be a backup. Either way, the value of his trade market dried up in a hurry. At this point, I can't imagine a team giving up a 3rd for him. Then again, I've never thought the bears could get a real 3rd (without giving something back) for him anyway.

Payton may go after Darnold.

Not great, but not too bad either.

We have no shot at trading up for a QB so we probably go OT in the 1st round. He will start over O'Connell. No doubt about it.

Minshew is better than Darnold or Tanneyhill.

Not a lot of options.

I like Minshew and think he’s an okay QB, I would definitely take him over Tannehill or Darnold. Minshew did a good job in Indy last year leading the Colts to a winning record and keeping their playoff chances alive until the last game even with a mediocre team around him.

No chance the Bears trade him to the Vikings.

Leonard Floyd to the Niners. A nice signing, another good pass rush for the Niners.

Whenever your in a situation where teams know you need or want to move a player like magic everyone plays hardball with you.

I think the game plan is to run the ball and play defense.....get a QB who does not make mistakes. We had a lot of that last season with Jimmy G and AOC. They combined for 18 INT's, not counting fumbles. Minshew only threw 9 INT's in 490 pass attempts. Although I saw a few Colts games where he threw some passes that had me thinking, "WTF?" But, overall? 9 in almost 500 passes is not bad at all. And he will have a lot of talent to throw to in Adams, Meyers, Renfrow, and the young TE Mayer.

Wow.

Chicago didn't handle it the best way to get full value. Maybe they get a 2nd if they do.

I mean he is what he is...a bridge QB. I assume they draft a rookie bc next years' QB class doesn't look good. Unless the plan is for O'Connell to sit for a couple years and learn.

I think that is the plan.

Doubt they draft one though.
