It would be a challenge to name a coach who uses the backup quarterback as a reliever in situations like we saw again late in the Miami Dolphins’ 26-25 come-from-behind win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Who benches the face of the franchise, the beloved rookie quarterback viewed as the Chosen One for the grizzled journeyman with a gunslinger’s approach?
Nobody is that bold, that myopically focused on delivering wins that they would overlook what the world would say, discussing, debating.
But that is Brian Flores, and that’s why the Dolphins’ coach deserves to be in the discussion for the NFL’s Coach of the Year honor.
