Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is driven by a passion for developing NFL talent, highlighted by his transformation of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as he enters his third season. Tagovailoa's performance has improved significantly, leading to a contract extension. Yet, the Dolphins' decision to sign Zach Wilson as a backup raises eyebrows. Despite possessing raw talent, Wilson is viewed as a project rather than a reliable insurance policy for the injury-prone Tagovailoa.

Critics suggest that the Dolphins should have pursued a more seasoned quarterback, such as Jimmy Garoppolo, given their championship aspirations. With 10 draft picks available, the Dolphins might consider drafting another quarterback to bolster their roster. However, McDaniel believes in his coaching staff's ability to unlock Wilson's potential, drawing parallels to his success with Tagovailoa while cautioning against direct comparisons.
