Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Skylar Thompson

Monday, January 6, 10:00 AM

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley completed 25 of 41 passes for 227 yards, one passing touchdown, and two interceptions in the Week 18, 32-20 loss to the New York Jets. He also added three rushing attempts for 16 yards. This was a poor showing for the Dolphins all around, and admittedly, many were watching the scoreboard as the Denver Broncos were pummeling the Kansas City Chiefs, crushing their playoff hopes. After a promising performance last week against the Cleveland Browns, Huntley came back down to earth with two bad interceptions and several missed easy throws. Miami will now continue their playoff-winning drought to 24 years. It is unknown whether Huntley will return to the Dolphins, but he figures to be the backup quarterback when next season starts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent quarterback Skylar Thompson on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Thompson, a 2022 seventh-round pick out of Kansas State, has played in 10 regular-season games (three starts) for the Miami Dolphins. Overall, he has completed 58.7% of his passes for 721 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. While the Steelers might have a quarterback issue to address this offseason, Thompson is clearly not going to be viewed as a serious candidate to start next season. The team is undecided on the futures of Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, so Thompson could find his way into the QB2 or QB3 role for Mike Tomlin in 2025, though it's early in the process.
