Skylar Thompson… American hero and soon to be NFL Quarterback

[Houstoncat93]

Can someone get word to Sky to target Waddle more?  I need the fantasy points.

The silver lining is that Skylar's early struggles are forcing the Dolphins to truly commit to the run game for the first time in recent memory, and hopefully that opens up some big plays for him.  However, I don't expect to see them to leverage the QB run game, given that the next man up is a backup WR.

Down nine with nine to play... one might say it's time to nut up and make some plays.

The completion of the bet has come to fruition tho. Sky drafted ? Sky making the 53 man roster ? Sky playing in a NFL regular season game ? I just want to thank god and my family for making this happen. - gE resident NFL scout expert

grats wack, I have to be honest I thought Sky had a better shot at playing in the NFL than you did to making it until he did

I really had a good two year run recently when this was on the table. Lol

I’ve always been on the #SkyHighNFLorBust bandwagon. Glad he finally got some reps in a game

I thought he looked pretty decent considering the circumstances of his first action. There are a lot of 1st round picks who don't get on the field 5 team games after they've been drafted. It wasn't a disaster considering the difference in speed of the game from college and preseason to a full blown NFL game against a good defense. He was also let down by some untimely penalties and drops.

Caught a little of the game on 810 this afternoon, the radio announcers were very complimentary.

Absolutely a team failure.  Failing to take the lead on the missed FG changed the tenor of the 4th, as well, as it took the playcalling away from what was working.  I have no idea who is starting next against the Vikings, but I assume Skylar will get more practice reps this week.  If they sign Reid Sinnett off the practice squad, then you know.

Given that both their QBs are in the protocol Sky will absolutely get a lot of reps this week in practice. It sounds like Bridgewater doesn't have any symptoms other than the stumble so he may be cleared to play for the game but no way he will practice this week. If they hadn't had the malpractice with Tua's concussion I am guessing Bridgewater would be a lock to start but they may be ultra conservative with him just to try and save face.

Yeah, I assume he'll get all the early reps.  You're right about Teddy, he'll probably be on the shelf several days, but we haven't been told anything about Tua's progress.

They were pretty aggressive in their messaging yesterday that Bridgewater would have been cleared to play yesterday but the new protocols didn't call for that.

[konofo]

Latest word is Bridgewater has had no symptoms since being pulled, and Tua has yet to return to football activities.  I expect Skylar to be backing up Bridgewater next week.
