to talk about Lower didn't have to do anything.

To-infinitive

And then when you told me you guys were gonna ask me this and I had 45 seconds to talk about to, I had to try to figure out something to say, because he ain't do nothing.

What you didn't do, though, was you set up the conversation perfectly when you said the phrase We got to see what he can do.

I hope everyone saw Adam Schefter is very interesting report coming out of Miami yesterday because I will remind you of those who don't know that the Dolphins have Houston's first round pick this coming season.

The Texans have one win, which suggests they could wind up being in the market at the top of the draft for some of these really big quarterbacks will be coming out.

Maybe Trevor Lawrence, maybe Justin Fields.

And so Schefty reported that one of the reasons part of the thinking of getting to on the field, as they did was that they need to evaluate whether or not they have their quarterback of the future before they could make up their mind.

Yeah, You don't evaluate your quarterback when you have a playoff football team.

I mean, that's what the Dolphins are is a playoff caliber football team.

So you should not be in the thought process of evaluating.

If if you told me Ryan Fitzpatrick was still the Dolphin starting quarterback today, I would pick them to win the A F C East.

I've been that impressed with them with last month, especially on the defensive side.

And so I don't I just can't connect the dots on that thought process for the Miami Dolphins organization.

You're good enough to go win that division.

Don't bench a guy who's playing really good football that can go take you to the playoffs to evaluate to a tongue of I low at the quarterback spot checks.

What if Justin Herbert was your quarterback?

How would you feel now I think I might pick him to be the one seed.

Okay, so to me, here's what I know, Okay?

Okay, because when I looked at it this way, I just know there's one quarterback on their roster that's not going to take me dio to a playoff.

I don't care that he's had a couple of hot games to me to, uh, you drafted him fifth overall.

Because you know Ryan Fitzpatrick can't get it done.

So I'm not gonna question Brian Floors at all.

And Ryan Clark, you know, talks about this defense.

Ryan Floor is doing a great job, so let's trust that he's trying to evaluate this kid e not necessarily trying to evaluate.

Are we concerned because he's he's so short and he's got maybe a possible hip injury, and there's durability questions about him.

That was why I said it was the biggest gamble in the history of the NFL draft, and I still see it, but I'm still pulling for the kid at the same time.

Well, so our C I mean, it could be an example if if this is really the primary part of the thinking of an organization, putting the organization ahead of the team.

And that's an interesting thing to do at a point, as Dan just said, where the team looks pretty good and the division looks gettable, Yeah, but I feel like I feel like they've been.

I feel like they've been doing that since Bryan Flores became the coach.

You know, we we looked at them stockpiling picks, giving away good players.

And then Ryan Fitzpatrick and Bryan Flores find ways to win games.

And then now, this season, this Josh poor, Your defense is amazing.

This defense can win playoff games today when Byron Jones is healthy.

When David Howard is right, they can win games today, and so if you can win games with this defense right now, but your quarterback can't win you a playoff game.

But your quarterback can't play you into a playoff game, which it doesn't they don't know if to a tongue of a lower can, then you don't make this choice.

This is not a winner's choice to make a draft pick, and now will be questioning that draft pick if the reports are true and now will be questioning that draft pick so much that you just have to throw him out there so you could see him in live action just to know that he can do it.

Three left like they just don't two wrongs don't make it right.

So trying to correct a Mrs Draft or a a bad draft pick by allowing by by allowing your team to fail is not the way to fix it.

If you think you're wrong, go ahead and be wrong and use that pick going forward.

But don't hurt the men on this team right now.

The coaches on the coaching staff that has done such a great job by trying to feel out of quarterback when you have a team that's ready to win everywhere else right now, especially since you don't have any control over what Houston does, you really can't control where you wind up drafting in this, But I feel someone should say this.

I mean, there were people talking about, too, like he was going to be the best player in the league.

This isn't for me, a talent thing about to.

Like, right now you have a team that could go win your division and to, uh, like there was some moments yesterday.

He takes a deep shot downfield, the Kasicky one on one ball gets have broken up.

Oh, you know, like I did with Justin Herbert or Joe Burrow when I watched them play this yard, you know, go ahead, R.

Yeah, but the other thing, too, though the other thing, too, though Dan is, I think we all had convinced ourselves that even though Fitzpatrick was playing the way he did that to a had done so much a practice, they'd seen so much from him that he earned this opportunity to play that it wasn't about filling out that it wasn't about anything else but to or talk about.

Lord is ready to go, and we are going to let him rip with these reports and with the way that I watched them play football yesterday, that's not what they're doing.

And so to me, I don't think you do that to a team that is working hard that is competing hard.

That is, put you in a position where you have an opportunity to win the A F C East.

You don't set that team back trying to see what you could do two years or three years down the line.

Super quick final thought thing that I was told was that he is a much higher ceiling than Ryan Fitzpatrick.

So, guys, as the years going on, we're going to see him get better and better, and that's what you wanna do.

 You wanna peak During that time in December, Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
