Kyle McCord is getting his opportunity to run the Miami Dolphins offense, and the next few weeks could tell us plenty about both him and Malik Willis. McCord doesn’t bring elite mobility or overwhelming arm talent, but his ability to process quickly and get the football out on time could give Miami a very different look at quarterback.

Wes Goldberg breaks down McCord’s strengths, the concerns that could show up behind Miami’s offensive line and what this evaluation really means for the Dolphins’ future. Regardless of how McCord performs, Miami should still be looking to add another quarterback through the NFL Draft.

Malik Willis is on injured reserve, the NFL trade deadline has passed and the Miami Dolphins’ season has shifted almost entirely toward development. Winning still matters, but the next few weeks are now about finding out which young players deserve to be part of Miami’s future.

Wes Goldberg explains what’s still worth watching with Kyle McCord taking over at quarterback. Can the young offensive line continue developing? Can Miami’s rookie receivers make McCord’s job easier? And on defense, players like Kenneth Grant, Chop Robinson and Miami’s young secondary should get valuable opportunities to grow through increased playing time.

The Miami Dolphins didn’t trade a single player at the NFL trade deadline, but their path toward a top draft pick may have become even clearer. Zach Sieler is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a torn biceps, while Malik Willis is headed to injured reserve for at least four games.

Wes Goldberg explains why Miami may be pulling off the ideal rebuilding season: keep veteran leaders like Jordyn Brooks and Aaron Brewer, continue developing young players and still remain near the top of the draft order. Unlike other rebuilding teams, the Dolphins didn’t gut their roster—they may simply keep losing because of injuries.
