Later, we'll talk about one defensive player on the Dolphins that I've got some respect for.

22 rush attempts for 123 yards and two touchdowns in limited duty, and it earned him a three-year, $67.5 million contract, $45 million guaranteed.
Now, the price you pay is you've got to be the quarterback for the most rebuilding-y team in the NFL, and you're gonna be their bridge.
You're gonna take all of the arrows for them while they undergo this arduous process and, and you're gonna be the guy that probably gets them to their real franchise quarterback.
Is this a Matt Flynn situation? Remember Matt Flynn? Packers quarterback who had one week 17 game, was unbelievable, signed a big contract in Seattle as a result, and then he got beat out by Russell Wilson.
