Watson may be better than Tua Tagovailoa and other quarterbacks on the Dolphins‘ roster, but passing on trading for him turned out to be a good decision for the Dolphins. Aside from preventing themselves from getting involved in the controversy surrounding him, the Dolphins also saved some of their previous trade assets. Despite the immediate impact Watson could make for the team, Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated believes that the Dolphins are better off creating their own identity.
“The Dolphins are not perfect, but they have shown they are not the desperate ballclub that nearly upended their future for a shot at an identity,” Orr wrote. “They still have time to create one on their own, which would be far more satisfying.”
