Tua BENCHED by the Dolphins, Will J.J. being the future starter in Minnesota, How important is elite QB play

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a967b12f-56e7-4a5e-b379-b3b700131a2e/transcript

Former NFL scout John Middlekauff is reacting LIVE immediately following the Week 15 Monday Night Football matchup between Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins vs. Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh Steelers. John kicks off talking about Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa's inability to play in cold weather games & why the Dolphins may need to get rid of Tua. John then talks about the Pittsburgh Steelers playoff picture after Dolphins win gives them a one game lead on the Baltimore Ravens leading the AFC North with 3 games to go. John talks about how 49ers will probably not go to the Super Bowl but why it could be Kyle Shanahan's best coaching year of his career with the absurd amount of injuries to his star players. John also talks about how the Packers look moving forward without star edge rusher Micah Parsons ahead of a high stakes NFC North road battle against the NFC first place Chicago Bears this upcoming Saturday night, and what this could mean for head coach Matt LaFleur's future with the team. Lastly, John dives into his DMs and discusses the trend of older quarterbacks starting in the NFL & why teams pull the trigger to start guys like Joe Flacco & Philip Rivers than players they don't trust like Anthony Richardson.
