Last season, for a national audience on Black Friday, the Miami Dolphins played a New York Jets team that had one big, fatal issue. They didn’t have a quarterback.<\/p>\n
Tim Boyle was so bad that day, he had a Hail Mary attempt at the end of the half returned by the Dolphins for a pick-6. The Jets gained 159 yards and didn’t score an offensive touchdown until garbage time. The Dolphins won, and everyone knew the Jets were better than that. They were just absolutely incompetent at quarterback.<\/p>\n
On Monday night, the Dolphins could feel the 2023 Jets’ pain.<\/p>\n
On their third starting quarterback in just the first four weeks of the season, the Dolphins were horrible. The Tennessee Titans weren’t good either, but they won 31-12 against a Dolphins team that can’t compete without Tua Tagovailoa, who is out for a while with a concussion. Tyler Huntley had 96 yards passing, and the Dolphins had 184 yards and 13 first downs as a team.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins signed Huntley off the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad on Sept. 17, and 13 days later he was starting. He wasn’t any better than Skylar Thompson, the Week 3 starter, or Boyle, who plays for the Dolphins now and entered last week’s game when Thompson was injured. The offense went nowhere. It was ugly.<\/p>\n
As the calendar turned to October, the Dolphins’ season feels like it’s over already.<\/p>\n
When ESPN signed up for Titans-Dolphins as part of their Week 4 Monday night doubleheader, they expected Will Levis vs. Tagovailoa. As it turned out, Mason Rudolph was the best quarterback on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n
