Hour 2 dives into the Dolphins' quarterback dilemma, exploring what the team would do if they move on from Tua Tagovailoa. Dave Hyde argues Zach Wilson should get the first shot, while Joe emphasizes how much the organization has done to support Tua, praising Mike McDaniel's creativity and leadership in maintaining locker-room accountability.

Dave Hyde joins the show and makes it clear he believes Tua Tagovailoa is done as a Dolphin, while Joe was surprised that Mike McDaniel is even considering a benching.

Perkins and Dave Hyde debate responsibility for Tua's contract and the roles of McDaniel versus Grier, while Joe criticizes Brandon Shore's influence on football decisions, arguing the salary cap guru shouldn't be making personnel calls. The discussion closes on the importance of Ross trusting his GM to shape the roster effectively

What's REALLY Wrong With Tua Tagovailoa? | w/ Dave Hyde (Sun Sentinel) Tua Tagovailoa doesn't look like the same quarterback — and everyone can see it.
