Miami Dolphins: Mistake Benching Ryan Fitzpatrick for Tua Tagovailoa

Ryan Fitzpatrick walked into work Tuesday morning and learned that his head coach Brian Flores was benching him to start the future in Miami with Tua Tagovailoa. Obviously Fitzpatrick took the news hard...and gave an emotional speech at a press conference...for which he's now being criticized.

We explain why starting Tua over Ryan Fitzpatrick at this point is a mistake by Brian Flores. With the Dolphins in the playoff hunt...and with a chance to win the AFC East...the timing isn't right to make this kind of decision. Fitzpatrick is also playing some of the best football of his career.

We also criticize the media and fans on Twitter for being critical of the reaction of Ryan Fitzpatrick.
