On a day when Ryan Fitzpatrick was absent for personal reasons, both Josh Rosen and Tua Tagovailoa got significantly more work. And though Rosen had the better day, both disappointed. Their combined passer rating: a dismal 48.5.
Tagovailoa ended up going 6 of 15 for 95 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions and one sack in 11 on 11 drills.
Oof. Not good.

Dolphin fans rejoice as their savior at QB returned
Guess you could call a bit of a scare or even a wake-up call of sorts for Dolphins fans, but Ryan Fitzpatrick is back and the team's quarterback situation once again is pretty clear.
This obviously is great news for the team based on what we saw in practice Friday when both Josh Rosen and Tua Tagovailoa, first-round picks in two of the past three drafts, really struggled in team drills.

I think that was from several days ago. Monday was apparently better:

Ryan Fitzpatrick may understand that he's the placeholder for Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback, but the starting role is one he might not have for long. The Miami Dolphins' top pick in the 2020 NFL Draft put together a very impressive practice session recently, and it was something that definitely had attendees talking. According to The Miami Herald, Monday was Tagovailoa's best day since joining the Dolphins. If he stacks more practices like this one, it could be the Tua show sooner rather than later.
His "flashes of brilliance" included three touchdown passes during 11-on-11 drills, and he made a handful of throws that confirmed why he was considered an elite NFL prospect, per the Herald's report.
Tagovailoa also impressed during 1-on-1 drills, and reportedly delivered several pinpoint passes that only the intended receiver could catch. The Herald's reporters claim that Tagovailoa has not done enough to inject himself into the starting conversation yet and that the Dolphins have not been tempted to let him work with the first-team offense as a whole -- which includes Miami's top wideouts. However, if Tagovailoa puts together more practice sessions like the one he had on Monday, that could change.

Did you say their "combined" passer rating was under 50?

I could do better than that. Without a doubt!
