Does Quinn Ewers’ performance this year matter?
Miami Dolphins backup quarterback Quinn Ewers struggled in Friday’s preseason game. But does it matter?
The Miami Dolphins' preseason opener against the Washington Commanders did not hinge on quarterback Quinn Ewers' performance. While Ewers struggled, ultimately throwing for 27 yards and one touchdown, the game's outcome was not pivotal. The team's focus lies in long-term development rather than immediate wins. Ewers could be replaced by starting quarterback Malik Willis if injuries or poor performance occur.
The team's emphasis on drafting a franchise quarterback speaks volumes, as Ewers' play this year does not significantly impact Miami's long-term plan. If Willis thrives, Ewers' struggles might be a positive sign for the team's future. Conversely, if Willis falters, Ewers' role becomes more critical. Ultimately, Ewers' performance in 2026 is inconsequential to Miami's vision for a sustainable, winning franchise.
