Who Should I Start? Mike White or Quinn Ewers

Saturday, August 9, 7:27 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Mike White came out of the gates slowly but finished strong in a 34-25 preseason-opening loss to the New York Giants on Saturday. White, who's competing with Mitchell Trubisky for the backup role behind Josh Allen, took over after halftime and missed on his first four attempts. Tight ends Jackson Hawes and Zach Davidson each dropped a pass, but White was unfazed. He went on to complete eight of his last nine throws to finish 8-for-13 for 112 yards and two touchdowns. White rolled to his right to find wide receiver KJ Hamler in the end zone for a 39-yard score on a fourth-and-four play and later dumped off a seven-yard TD to running back Darrynton Evans. It was a good day for White, a former New York Jet and Miami Dolphin, but it came after Trubisky held his own in the first half. The two will continue a wide-open battle for the No. 2 job against the Chicago Bears on Aug. 17.

The Miami Dolphins have officially signed former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers to his four-year rookie contract, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Ewers notably slid to the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft after some analysts projected him to be selected as early as the third or fourth round. After redshirting at Ohio State in 2021, Ewers threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games over three seasons with the Longhorns. He led the program to two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearances. Now in Miami, he'll have the opportunity to compete with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson for the QB2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa. Given Tagovailoa's injury history as of late, one of his backups could be called into action during the 2025 campaign. Wilson should be viewed as the front-runner to win that job.
