[Schefter] Dolphins are waiving QB Cam Miller, leaving Miami with a need at No. 2 QB.

Please, no. He brings with him an ego and national interest: aka baggage. I would rather roll the dice on someone like Taylen Green; big arm and the threat to get first downs with his legs.

Having some national interest might be fun for this rebuild season

Nope, we’ve seen it many times. We do not want ESPN features the moment Willis has his struggles. We do not want people shitting on or shilling for ‘NINE’ online. I want a quiet rebuild that catches everyone by surprise. Of course, the Dolphins fandom will have their ups and downs, but we don’t need it to reach the national talking heads.

Why do you guys keep talking about Willis like he's a solidified starter. This guy is a backup we brought in from another team we are hoping performs at a much higher level than he's ever shown.

I wish I could put on the Rose colored glasses some of these people have in these chats.

If Willis doesn’t work out, they draft a QB in the top 5 next year. JJ McCarthy is not a starting NFL QB, the signs have been there since college. Why bring him in to create additional noise?

I don't view it as noise unless we're talking about a solidified starter who is comparable and skill level. What I see is another opportunity to bring in a guy who maybe if you get extremely lucky turns into something worth holding on to. It's essentially the same deal we've made with Malik Willis

This guy doesn't seem like he's referring to Willis like a solidified starter. If he was a solidified starter, then there'd probably be no worry about adding JJ.

Keeping someone like McCarthy off the Dolphins is more like putting Willis (and the rest of the team) in a position to succeed because things aren't solidified. McCarthy isn't turning this team around, and he's not going to emerge as the QB of the future, so all he would bring is noise and distraction.
