Forget what we’ve seen so far in the Miami Dolphins’ backup quarterback battle between Mike White and Skylar Thompson during offseason workouts. It’s largely irrelevant. Their training camp battle, which begins in about three weeks, is much more significant.
And considering the injury history of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ playoff expectations, the backup quarterback battle is perhaps the team’s most significant preseason competition — more meaningful than starting left guard or even starting slot receiver.
In my mind, Thompson should enter training camp as the No. 2 quarterback.
