There has been a multitude of changes within the Miami Dolphins organization. One of the few changes has been changing from Ryan Tannehill as their quarterback to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
In an article by Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Fitzpatrick says that Dan Marino has been a “neat presence” around the team. The legendary Dolphins quarterback is a special advisor in the organization and spends some time with the quarterbacks.
“What a great guy,” Fitzpatrick told WQAM’s Joe Rose. “The biggest thing that pops out to me is his humility. Being able to bounce questions off him [has been great]. He’s been a neat presence to have around, not only as a Hall of Fame quarterback but just as a guy, knowing some of the things we go through whether it’s off the field with family or on the field. He has great perspective on everything. It’s been great getting to know him.”
Currently, Fitzpatrick has been given the nod over Josh Rosen to be the starting quarterback. That will likely remain the same when the Dolphins open their training camp in a couple of weeks.
Of course, the Dolphins traded for Rosen during the 2019 NFL Draft in hopes he could possibly be their future starter. Besides, at 36-years old, Fitzpatrick isn't the long-term solution for Miami.
Fitzpatrick is entering his 15th season and is playing for his eighth team in his career. Having a guy like Fitzpatrick around can help the younger guys grow though. Also, it's not bad having a Hall-of-Fame quarterback in Marino around as well.
