One such personality is Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">On Friday, Marino joined Mad Dog Sports Radio to talk various topics \u2014 but understandably, the former Dolphins great was asked about the quarterback question in Miami and where the team should look to find the answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIn any team\u2026 you have to have competition at that position and I think that\u2019s probably where the Dolphins have to go\u2026 I\u2019m not in that position to say if it\u2019s going to be free agency or if it\u2019s going to be the guys that we have or whatever that may be, but I do know that when you have competition at that position it\u2019s going to continue to make it better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Marino was then asked point blankly to assess Tua Tagovailoa\u2019s time as Miami\u2019s starting quarterback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI think he was excellent. He really was. He\u2019s an excellent guy \u2014 human being\u2026 He\u2019s still on the roster, so you just don\u2019t know right now. I think the new staff is coming in and they have to evaluate everything all at one time. As time goes on, this will all play itself out, but right now, Tua is with us. He\u2019s one of our quarterbacks and that\u2019s the way it\u2019s going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While Marino may not know exactly what is going to happen with Tagovailoa, neither he, nor the rest of us, will have to wait very long to find out, as the final game of the 2025 NFL season will be played this Sunday and the entire league will shift its focus to the offseason shortly after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Super Bowl will be played on Sunday, and while the Dolphins will not be competing in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,7,216,251,2733,2087,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-734024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami-dolphins","8":"tag-dolphins","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-miami","11":"tag-miami-dolphins","12":"tag-miami-dolphins-news","13":"tag-miamidolphins","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116025195551622721","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
