Quinn Ewers’ fearless style could redefine Dolphins’ offense down the stretch

Key Highlights

• Over 14 appearances, he totaled 2,660 passing yards with 20 touchdowns, but his league-high 15 interceptions repeatedly stalled drives and erased scoring chances. With playoff hopes gone and a 6-8 record, the Dolphins opted to evaluate Ewers over the final three games.
• The former Texas quarterback, selected in the seventh round, has seen minimal action. His lone NFL appearance came against Cleveland, where he completed five of eight passes for 53 yards in relief.
• Internally, Miami views this stretch as a controlled trial rather than a rescue mission. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat appeals to the Dolphins is contrast.
• Ewers’ willingness to attack vertically offers a different rhythm from an offense that leaned heavily on short throws. Evaluators inside the organization believe his instincts and confidence could stretch defenses and create space for Miami’s playmakers, even if efficiency fluctuates.
• Three games may not define a career, but they can clarify whether the offense needs recalibration or reinvention heading into the offseason. Why Miami Is Leaning Into a Three-Game EvaluationEwers steps into a situation that is both forgiving and revealing.
