00:00i'm going to call it a disaster thursday even though we've got fun to be had and got a college
00:05football playoff game coming up saturday with the hurricanes but where do we stand with the miami
00:11dolphins two is not happy that he's going to be on the bench it's actually third string
00:17zach wilson he's not happy that he's still the number two quarterback instead of being elevated
00:22to the starter which is why he came here in case tua wasn't able to be the quarterback
00:28and quinn ewers is officially the starter and so you've got a situation i saw barry jackson tweet
00:36out zach wilson says it's frustrating that he didn't get the starting job and he's a little
00:40confused why but he'll be a good teammate and do what's asked of him it's quite a situation that
00:48mike mcdaniel has put together for himself with three games left in the season he's got a starting
00:54quarterback unhappy with him he's got a backup quarterback unhappy with him he's got a seventh
01:03round draft pick rookie quarterback who probably loves him and he's got some players i'm imagining
01:10who are confused so i i'm i'm a little i mean it's a disaster for the dolphins they're kind of a laughing
01:19stock again we've talked about this it's kind of been a running theme throughout this season it
01:26started literally week one against indianapolis they were the laughing stock of the league we talked
01:34about it teams lose they're not the laughing stock but the way the dolphins lost they became a laughing
01:42stock and then it happened a couple more times throughout the season to uh with his infamous
01:50post-game remarks that blew up but now you've got quarterback changes happen around the league they do
01:58this one seems to be a national laughing stock though because again two is unhappy and by the way
02:04if you're two you go hey i've won four out of the last six games i mean uh my star receiver tyreek hill's
02:10not there my star running back has sore ribs didn't even play a half of a game two games ago
02:17so he's unhappy i i'm really we talked about it yesterday i mean zach wilson has to be beside himself
02:23he's played the backup role for every game but one the entire season i'm imagining he's been a good
02:29soldier and now all of a sudden here's where you get elevated to the starting role and the confusing
02:36part of it is mike mcdaniel is adamant that quinn ewers gives them the best chance to win
02:43that that's all this is based on but then you have to ask yourself well if quinn ewers gives them the
02:51best chance to win that happened between monday night and yesterday because he was literally third
03:03on the depth chart behind two other quarterbacks and now he's telling us with a straight face
03:10that quinn ewers gives them a better chance to win than zach wilson and tua that's disastrous to me
03:17it's it's it's laughing stock material worthy and that seems to be kind of what they are
03:24but i think it's the right decision agreed the way that they're getting from point a to point c i guess
03:32in this case is is maybe not the best way publicly and perhaps internally not the best way to handle
03:39it i'm with you hawk but they're doing the right thing zach wilson could be upset all he wants and i
03:45realize why he's upset he's looking at all the guys you constantly mentioned the sam darnolds the geno
03:50smiths the baker mayfields and saying hey i want my chance at that redemption arc i realize why he's
03:57upset but the dolphins are doing the right thing they've been eliminated from the playoffs their
04:03franchise quarterback who makes a lot of money has regressed this season it's time to give the
04:09young guy who you don't know anything about until he gets reps on the field the opportunity because you
04:15wasted i shouldn't say wasted you used a draft pick on him it's time to give him the chance
04:22and if the players in the locker room don't understand that or don't respect that i understand
04:27it but from a football perspective that is the right thing for an organization to do then why not say it
04:36why not say we want to see what we have with quinn ewers there's a few games left this season we're
04:42mathematically eliminated we'd like to see what we have with quinn ewers because to say quinn ewers
04:48we decided to elevate him because he gives us the best chance to win has to make you scratch your head
04:55well then why wasn't he the backup in pittsburgh why wasn't he the backup in any of the games but one
05:03so i'm not suggesting it's the wrong decision i'm suggesting he's lying and i don't understand
05:12why why is mike mcdaniel not saying what we all agree to which is let's see what the young kid has
05:19right like what why is that like it it just strikes me as such a blatant lie because then you're telling
05:28me that all these games that you had quinn ewers as the emergency quarterback and zach wilson as the
05:36backup you were only doing that because zach wilson was making more money that he didn't give you a
05:42better chance to win if to a went out so which one is it it it just strikes me as such a disaster of his
05:50own making because everybody in this dolphins organization is playing for a different reason
05:58everybody has something personal to gain that is a different goal than the person they're supposed
06:06to be in lockstep with in concert with making decisions it started several years ago but you had
06:13a quarterback whose main goal this year hawk was clearly to just stay healthy that's it let's stay
06:20healthy you had a general manager who was trying to reset the the poor cap situation he put the team in
06:29and you had a head coach trying to win games to save his ass nobody is working in concert with the other
06:38and what you get is this which is an organization that can't stop looking like they're doing the dumbest
06:44thing possible at every turn i just don't understand why you're not honest that's the part that puzzles me
06:51so much because you make yourself look like an idiot for not having quinn ewers as the backup for multiple
06:57games this season and then tell us oh he gives us the best chance to win against cincinnati well what did
07:03what did you see from zach wilson between monday night and wednesday that allowed you to believe he
07:12doesn't give you the best chance as your backup to win
