Even Tyreek Hill knows the Dolphins are doomed at quarterback


Even Tyreek Hill knows the Dolphins are doomed at quarterback

If Tyreek Hill thinks there's a problem at quarterback, there might be a problem at quarterback. The Miami Dolphins' star receiver made fun of the situation, but there's some truth to what he's laughing at.

When speaking to the media, Hill could only do what the rest of us can do: hope for the best. Miami has the luxury of starting an injured Skylar Thompson, an experienced career replacement in Tim Boyle or the player they signed from the Baltimore Ravens practice squad a week ago, Tyler Huntley. It's pretty sad when he's the best option.

Speaking to reporters, Hill revealed that he spent most of practice with Boyle before joking that the team is “looking for anyone who can throw.”

“I worked with Tim Boyle, so I really don’t know,” Hill said. “We even had waddle toss. We're currently looking for someone who can throw. Open applications.”

Earlier this week, a fan-made meme spread across the internet. The official-looking image invited anyone who could put on pads and throw a football to show up for an open tryout.

Head coach Mike McDaniel is keeping the decision secret and Hill did not mention Huntley's name. The fact that he mentioned Boyle, and if he actually only catches passes from him and no one else, the Dolphins may just be leaning toward starting the former New York Jet.

Fans aren't taking the idea particularly well. Some have already started congratulating the Tennessee Titans on their likely win on Monday night.

Since Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion, the Dolphins' passing game has generated 140 yards passing and no touchdowns. The Titans are not a good defensive team, but they may not be on Monday because there are too many questions about Miami's offense.

The Dolphins won't announce a starting quarterback until necessary, but McDaniel shows a lack of urgency in his coaching, a lack of quality play-calling and has regressed as a head coach. The Dolphins need him to be a leader and coach, not a friend, and right now he seems to be worried too much about whether they like him.

An earlier report by Dave Hyde said McDaniel's practices were simple. It's a problem when you see that the team is unprepared on the field.
