If the Miami Dolphins need to find a replacement quarterback for Tua Tagovailoa to finish the season, NFL fans will have the perfect replacement, Colin Kaepernick.
The Dolphins are going to be searching for a quarterback. The team will be rolling with Skylar Thompson as the starter and hunting for some veteran quarterbacks to have his back.
Tua Tagovailoa’s third diagnosed concussion in two years has created speculation that the Miami Dolphins franchise quarterback will miss the remainder of the regular season or possibly even be forced to retire.
On Monday, the. Dolphins signed Tyler Huntley off of the Baltimore Ravens practice squad.
Having Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson does not produce a team that will be capable of winning many games.
That has led some NFL fans to push for the Miami Dolphins to sign Colin Kaepernick, who will be 37 years old in November.
Will the Dolphins please sign Colin Kaepernick. They already decided they don’t want Tua’s brother.

Someone call Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, Ryan Tannehill, and Carson Wentz and have them start stretching and get ready for the most intense QB battle of all time lol. If you’re feeling crazy see what Matt Barkley doing. He knows the bills playbook

Tua Tagovailoa threw for 4,624 yards and 29 touchdowns last season.
For the 2016 NFL season, Kaepernick’s final season, he played twelve games and ended the season with 2,241 passing yards, 6.8 yards per attempt, 16 touchdowns, four interceptions, and a 90.7 passer rating.
Colin Kaepernick Hasn’t Played For A Team Since The End of The 2016 Season
Fans who linked Colin Kaepernick to the Miami Dolphins shouldn’t be shocked to find out that the team will not actually go through with the deal.
The fact that so much time has passed since he last played makes it even less likely that anyone will give him a chance.
Following a concussion sustained by starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, speculation arose about potential quarterback additions.
Colin Kaepernick still wants to play football in the NFL, but his time is done with his advanced age.
