The topic for today’s article will be the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins barely missed the 2020 NFL playoffs as they were the final team left out in the AFC. They finished the season with a quiet 10 – 6 record. What also (not so quietly) occurred is the fact that Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched for Tua Tagovailoa after Week 6 when the Dolphins were 3 – 3. I’m not going to comment on what the Dolphins should or shouldn’t have done. Clearly they found success for the rest of the season as they went 7 – 3 after the initial benching. What I am going to say is that I found it to be a strange move. More importantly, this seems to be a theme for Fitz, especially over the past few seasons. I’m not sure what the stigma behind him as a starting NFL quarterback is, but there is clearly something. Remember back in 2018 when Fitzpatrick and Jameis Winston split the season. More accurately, Fitz started seven games and Winston started nine games. Neither were impressive as far as a winning percentage goes. Fitz went 2 – 5 as a starter and Winston went 3 – 6 as a starter. The fact is that neither of these players were getting the job done in the win column, but they were getting it done for fantasy owners. That’s really the most frustrating part. In 2018, Fitz was on pace for roughly 4,700 yards, 34 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. In fact, if you combine both Fitzpatrick and Winston’s stats for the year, this is what they would look like…
