Or Miami could send Tagovailoa back to IR for another stint if the healing process through his third confirmed concussion isn&#8217;t on track.<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb3\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>All of this is to say that the Dolphins should consider what type of improvements they can make under center between now and the November 5 trade deadline &#8212; and one new opportunity opened up just last week.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0&#8212; who Miami squeaked by in Week 5 to get to 2-3 on the year and probably save its season, at least for the time being &#8212; decided to run out rookie QB\u00a0Drake Maye\u00a0against the\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0on Sunday. The Pats lost by 20 points, but Maye put up\u00a03 passing TDs\u00a0and led his team in rushing along the way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjA5NDE1OTAxOTgyNzYyMTUz\/usatsi_24188440.jpg\" alt=\"New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett.\" width=\"5100\" height=\"3300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a9 Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Maye&#8217;s elevation meant the benching of\u00a0Jacoby Brissett, who started the first five games of the year in New England and has 53 career starts in 84 regular-season games played at the\u00a0NFL\u00a0level.<\/p>\n<p>Brissett is no hero with a record of\u00a019-34, but he is a viable professional quarterback from today until whenever Tagovailoa returns. And the 32-year-old will remain so into next season and beyond, when Miami&#8217;s\u00a0$212.4\u00a0million QB could be playing just one big hit away from the end of his career on every single snap.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins can&#8217;t afford to invest in a pricey backup or an alternative starter beyond Tagovailoa long-term, at least not unless he ultimately retires. But, on the other hand, the team has invested far too much in its offense to let it hang by the tenuous thread that will be Tagovailoa&#8217;s health going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Brissett is a reasonable compromise between the two extremes, as he is currently playing on a one-year deal worth\u00a0$8 million\u00a0in New England.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots Made Switch to Rookie QB Drake Maye in Week 6 The heinous\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0offense got a much-needed, though not well-earned, reprieve from the media spotlight with a&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
