I came across this pre-draft discussion with Colt McCoy and Jay Gruden reviewing Ewer.  Gruden seems to be on the money IMO.

Ewers has been getting praised by many of the beat writers. Hopefully it is true because I think he is our future. This  is a Chris Perkins article but I saw that Omar and David Furones saying it too. 


Dolphins camp: QB Quinn Ewers is the star; plus stock up, stock down

— Quarterback Quinn Ewers had a nice sideline throw to wide receiver Andrew Armstrong. Ewers later had a nice throw to wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. Later Ewers stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure and completed a pass to tight end Tanner Conner. Through OTAs, minicamp and training camp, Ewers has seemed to learn quickly and not make the same mistake twice.

Zach Wilson has received some praise of his own. I feel much better about the backup QB's this year than I did in the previous couple of years. I'm glad the Dolphins addressed that position, it's not just insurance in case Tua goes down, it also helps the team prepare when the backup QB's actually have command of the offense especially for 2nd and 3rd string players. I'm excited to see what the pre-season looks like when Tua's not in there.

[CF DolFan]

Seems like Zach's has just recently been happening but yes, he has made some pretty good throws the last couple of days. While we have some issues it does appear our back-ups have been upgraded. Last year Tua sat out the start of training camp and both back-ups did not impress causing Mike White to get cut.

It's probably worth keeping in mind our defensive secondary is severely downgraded this preseason compared to last season (between personnel changes and injuries).

I'm not saying this years backups so far aren't better than last preseason... but equally, they may not be if this is what's making them look better.

[CF DolFan]

I get that and have thought the same but am kind of looking for the glass half full on something with this team. Hahahaha

In all honesty if the QBs are picking up the offense already it is a plus because we've heard all too often how difficult it is learn.

Severely downgraded? I don't agree with that assessment and I think that probably stems from the difference in the way we see last year's defensive secondary. I personally was not impressed with neither Holland nor Ramsey last year. I don't think it's a stretch to think that Minkah is an upgrade over Holland. Losing Ramsey is a hit, but it remains to be seen how big of a hit. Kohu is injured right now, but the reports out of camp have been that the secondary has been holding their own. The fact is the Miami's secondary was not good last year and may not be that good this year either, but the hope is that the pass rush will be much improved to compensate. Hopefully we'll get a good look at the pass rush and secondary in preseason and we can make our own assessment.

[CF DolFan]

They weren't good last year but are worse this year. It looks like we lost a safety today as projected starter Ashtyn Davis went out with a lower leg injury. The latest pick-ups seemed to be doing ok so we will see but so far the group hasn't been very good.

Camp reports tend to be written with rose colored glasses, rather than saying the secondary sucks they will talk about how good the WR is at getting open, rather than say the O line is inept they talk about how improved the pass rush is. 

This is true for all 32 teams

One thing I have read is that there have been a lot of pre-snap penalties flagged (at all of the sessions to date).

It's something we really need to tidy up and eliminate before game 1 this season, because we don't need that same baggage that plagued us all last year.

They can't sugar coat everything.

I'm just hoping Tua gets his career ending concussion (because it's not if but when) within the first five games of the season; in order to determine if Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewer is a viable long term starting QB.

[CF DolFan]

I’m not saying he’s the next big thing but wanted to share some Ewers throws so far.

Either your wide receivers are really good or your secondary is really bad.

Over the past three years, I have seen endless commentary on how Miami's weapons are so amazing that any decent QB could lead the league in passer rating or yardage, so I guess it's the former!
