On today's episode of The Daily Hunt: Brian Flores did not need to name a full-time starter before Sunday's game, but he said Josh Rosen would be the guy moving forward for the Miami Dolphins. 

However, after a rough outing that saw Rosen get pulled from the game, Flores has decided to name Fitzpatrick the starter this week.

What does this say about Flores and his staff's ability to evaluate and even develop talent if he is going to make a move this quick. Especially after putting all his faith in Rosen for the remainder of the season. 

 "We’re going to start ‘Fitz’ (Ryan Fitzpatrick) this week," Flores said on Wednesday. "(We) kind of came to that conclusion really over the last couple of days. (We) decided that we feel like that was the best thing for this team and give us an opportunity – the best opportunity – for this team to go up into a tough environment and try to pull out a win; and we do that on a weekly basis. What’s the best way, what’s the best grouping, set of players – offense, defense, kicking game – to help us try to win the game? We felt that that was the case this week.”
