Even previous players.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The days of Skylar Thompson should be over. Teams give up on starting quarterbacks much sooner than the Dolphins have given Thompson. After three years on the roster, Thompson continued to struggle with the offensive system. The practice squad suits him well, and there is no harm in keeping him there.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Tyler Huntley was\u00a0the best backup Miami could hope for, given the free agent market when Tua Tagovailoa went down in week two, but he didn&#8217;t show much when he was on the field. Listed as the primary backup to Tagovailoa now, his future should also be in question. Miami needs better options.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Former Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater recently shared on NFL Network that he&#8217;s potentially looking to\u00a0make it back to the NFL. The problem is, Bridgewater wasn&#8217;t all that great during his time with Miami, either.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Bridgewater has come back into the spotlight after he recently helped lead Miami Northwestern High School to a Florida state championship in his first year as the team&#8217;s head coach.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Mike McDaniel shares thoughts on Teddy Bridgewater rejoining the Miami Dolphins<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Mike McDaniel didn&#8217;t summarily wave off the notion when asked on Wednesday if the former Dolphins quarterback could return to the team this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">&#8220;We\u2019ll see if they come down stays consistent from his championship win, but I would support him doing whatever. He\u2019s one of my favorites.<br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/><br role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>&#8230;All of his teammates were watching from afar. I knew probably five minutes after the game was over that they\u2019d won. We\u2019ve been following it all season, so it\u2019s really cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">A return of Bridgewater to Miami\u00a0wouldn&#8217;t improve the Dolphins&#8217; roste<a href=\"https:\/\/phinphanatic.com\/2022\/12\/29\/teddy-bridgewater-looks-dissociated-uninterested-miami-dolphins\/\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/phinphanatic.com\/2022\/12\/29\/teddy-bridgewater-looks-dissociated-uninterested-miami-dolphins\/\">r<\/a>.
