When Tua went down, so did the Dolphins&#8217; hopes for an AFC East title. The Dolphins would lose three of the four games without Tagovailoa despite bringing in Tyler Huntley.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Mike McDaniel spoke with the media on Friday and was asked about the backup quarterback position. His response may hint toward the Dolphins&#8217; offseason decisions for the position.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">McDaniel said that Huntley\u00a0earned the trust of his teammates\u00a0and that he is the type of player the Dolphins like. Miami faces a big decision this offseason in terms of finding a suitable backup, but it seems Huntley may already have secured the job.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Tyler Huntley may be the right quarterback for the Dolphins<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">&#8220;I think he exemplified the characteristics that were reminiscent of what we had the last couple years,&#8221;\u00a0said McDaniel. &#8220;Specifically, it reminded me of Teddy (Bridgewater) and how guys, the second you go in, they believe that you won&#8217;t miss a beat. And you&#8217;ve got to earn that trust, and you&#8217;ve got to earn that conviction and that&#8217;s something that you can&#8217;t fake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">While McDaniel sidestepped part of the question, he seemed clear that Huntley, at least for now, would be the Dolphins&#8217; backup in the future. If there is good news, Huntley is a player who is respected, and if he is re-signed by the Dolphins, he will get a full offseason to learn the system and get the right amount of work in to get better.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">McDaniel specifically said that Huntley coming in was reminiscent of when Bridgewater came into play. That the team was already behind him. While McDaniel may be saying the right things, the results on the field this year with Huntley\u00a0were not that impress<a href=\"https:\/\/phinphanatic.com\/posts\/tyler-huntley-proves-he-isnt-ready-run-miami-dolphins-offense-01j92wqq170p\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/phinphanatic.com\/posts\/tyler-huntley-proves-he-isnt-ready-run-miami-dolphins-offense-01j92wqq170p\">ive<\/a>. He has a lot of growth ahead of him, but will the Dolphins look for a better quarterback this offseason?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex items-center justify-between text-darkGrey font-group-bigger\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should the Dolphins keep Tyler Huntley in 2025?
