Skylar Thompson… American hero and soon to be NFL Quarterback

[Pete]

Only matter of time.

So Tua is out 3-4 weeks with spaghetti brains. We all know Bridgewater is an injury waiting to happen so Skylar should be throwing bombs to Tyreek and Waddle sometime in October

Is Bridgewater really better than Sky?

[Katpappy]

Isn't he prone to injury too?  Skywalker will be tossing the ball in a matter of weeks.

Last I heard QB's minimum salary on the roster is $350,000.  That was about 10-12 years ago, so I'm sure it has increased since then.  He'll always be behind first-round drafted QBs, but if he stays in the NFL he will be well off.

I believe he signed somewhere around 2M for 3 years

Looks like it was a 4 year deal that starts at around 700K and ends at 1.1M with an 82K signing bonus.

Hope he makes it to the second contract for some of that life changing money

That’s like minimum wage in Miami    At least he’s not in San Fran like Purdy. Probably living in a studio apartment.

professional playing time isn’t always dictated by who is better

[DreamWeaver69]

Bridgewater’s contract is something close to 10 mill for the year. They’re going to play him, just because.

Looks like it is 6.5 million

[wetwillie]

Also he’s thrown for >3000 the last two seasons

Wow

Only matter of time.

Our Guy is now playing vs. the Jets, as Teddy injured himself on the first snap of the game.

First drive stalls out as a holding call negates a 12-yard Skylar scamper on 3rd and 10. 

Not looking great on his throws so far - 1/4 for 6 yards, plus an underthrown ball to Tyreek for a big DPI.  Hopefully he overcomes the nerves soon - no indication that Teddy is coming back, having suffered some sort of elbow and/or head injury.

Ball on ‘em, Sky.

This is the opportunity, don't let it pass by!

He's got his work cut out for him now - after a three-and-out, the Jets have taken a 12-0 lead just into the second quarter.

The Dolphins radio booth is divided.  As expected, known Skylar-doubter Jimmy Cefalo is offering tough criticism of his efforts so far, while honorary Cat Joe Rose is firmly on the bandwagon.

Drove them down for a TD drive! Hopefully he'll get his first TD pass at some point

Enabled in part by a DPI by our other guy, DJamer Reed.  Thanks, DJamer!

Jimmy Cefalo has been a known Skylar hater for many years, dating back to his freshman year of college. Loser!

Forget the Heisman, someone get Thompson an Oscar!
