Skylar Thompson… American hero and soon to be NFL Quarterback

[Trim]

Did anyone watch him playing today? I only paid passive attention, but it seemed like every time I looked up his receivers were dropping catchable balls. Saw it probably thrice if not more. They absolutely did not do him any favors today.

It was on right when I got up and I saw that whatever went down in his first possession had the dolphins warming bridgewater back up and seeing if they could get him back in with a broken finger.

Are there any sports you watch that you aren't jaded about?

He asked.  I'm sure I was one of few on here who saw it b/c it was on instead of the chiefs game.  I turned the tv on right as I saw bridgewater ridiculously trying to thrust a pass on the sideline with his destroyed hand.  Here's the jaded play-by-play from the box score of what preceded that.

1st & 10 at MIA 25
(2:36 - 3rd) MIA 19-Thompson now at QB S.Thompson pass short right to R.Mostert to MIA 21 for -4 yards (J.Bentley).
2nd & 14 at MIA 21
(1:58 - 3rd) (Shotgun) S.Thompson pass short right to R.Mostert to MIA 25 for 4 yards (K.Dugger).
3rd & 10 at MIA 25
(1:25 - 3rd) (Shotgun) PENALTY on NE-J.Uche, Neutral Zone Infraction, 5 yards, enforced at MIA 25 - No Play.
3rd & 5 at MIA 30
(0:55 - 3rd) (Shotgun) S.Thompson pass short left to R.Mostert to MIA 47 for 17 yards (J.Peppers, M.Bryant). PENALTY on NE-J.Bentley, Roughing the Passer, 15 yards, enforced at MIA 47.
1st & 10 at NE 38
(0:29 - 3rd) J.Wilson left end to NE 37 for 1 yard (A.Jennings).
END QUARTER 3
2nd & 9 at NE 37
(14:55 - 4th) (Shotgun) S.Thompson pass incomplete short left to T.Sherfield (Jo.Jones).
3rd & 9 at NE 37
(14:46 - 4th) (Shotgun) S.Thompson scrambles up the middle ran ob at NE 26 for 11 yards (M.Bryant). PENALTY on MIA-T.Hill, Illegal Shift, 5 yards, enforced at NE 37 - No Play.
3rd & 14 at NE 42
(14:18 - 4th) (Shotgun) S.Thompson pass short left intended for T.Hill INTERCEPTED by Jo.Jones at NE 35. Jo.Jones pushed ob at NE 37 for 2 yards (T.Hill).

Too bad for miami that it was a throw-affecting injury as opposed to long-term brain damage, or they could've rolled bridgewater back out there.

Hill bump set another one leading to an int.

It’s what he does best unfortunately

Now, I did not see a second of that game, so you might be 100% correct but watching football for 40 years, my guess was Bridgewater seeing if he could throw a football after hurting his finger had nothing to do with what Thompson did or didn't do. It would be pretty odd for an NFL veteran QB to take the trainers word for it when told he can't play, he's probably going to want to see if his career isn't going to possibly end with two appearances cut short by injury.

I hope he nails this opportunity - it could be the last he gets.  The Jets secondary is a tough draw, though.

SOB, my man!!! 

[star seed 7]

 

[MakeItRain]

The sonofagun pulled it off. I think he had a better o line here and all the skill positions are hurt.

[wetwillie]

He didn’t turn the ball over at least. Was kind of a worse case scenario for him against a really good jets defense.

[Church Creeper]

Yeah that oline is garbage for pass blocking.

[konofo]

Yeah that oline is garbage for pass blocking.

It's painfully obvious whenever Armstead is not around.  He had four body parts listed on the injury report today.

So thrilled that Sky got the job done today, but at the same time, I hope we don't require his services next week.

Sky’s first year in the NFL:

-Drafted in the 7th round
-impressive preseason, forces Dolphins to carry 3 QB’s on the 53 man roster
-2 starts
-Victory as a starter that puts his team in the playoffs

[star seed 7]

.500 in career starts, that's better than Justin Herbert right?

[kcnut]

Skyler thompson is way better then tua! I said what i said.

[CHONGS]

I love Sky, but he's getting cut this off season.  Hopefully he lands somewhere else.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think he's better than most backup quarterbacks. Someone will pick him up.

[DreamWeaver69]

I love Sky, but he's getting cut this off season.  Hopefully he lands somewhere else.

No way in hell. Teddy’s contract is done and so is Tua’s. He’ll have a Chase Daniel’s type of career.

[MakeItRain]

I love Sky, but he's getting cut this off season.  Hopefully he lands somewhere else.

lol, what? Ain't no way. Do you not realize Teddy Bridgewater was active today? He could have started or came into that game at any point.

[CHONGS]

Teddy is getting cut too.

[DreamWeaver69]

Yeah, because his contract is done and is always injured

[konofo]

No way in hell. Teddy’s contract is done and so is Tua’s. He’ll have a Chase Daniel’s type of career.

Tua is in year three of a four-year contract with a fifth-year option.   

Skylar will certainly have a chance to keep his backup role next preseason.  I personally doubt the team drafts over him this year, given that their first pick (out of just five) will likely be in the 50s, and the prospects at that level are unlikely to help you immediately.  Anything could happen, though.
