Another bridge starter as the Miami Dolphins are set to start Ryan Fitzpatrick once again in 2020. The 37-year-old is entering his 16th season in the NFL, and as crazy as it seems, he’s never stayed anywhere for more than two seasons except with the Buffalo Bills, where he played four years.

In all, Fitzpatrick has 139 career starts and has started at least three games in every season since 2008 despite his inability to stick around with one franchise.

Last season, he was 5-8 for the Dolphins who were expected to land the No. 1 overall pick. Instead, they got the fifth pick, which landed them Tua Tagovailoa out of Alabama. Tua is the future of the team but with their shaky offensive line and his health concerns, it’s probably best to let the bearded wonder start the season.

We move on from a bridge starter to a Bridgewater with the newest Carolina Panthers starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. When Matt Rhule took over as the Panthers head coach, he decided to go in a different direction under center. Out was Cam Newton and in comes the former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, who nearly saw his career end due to a gruesome knee injury.

Bridgewater bounced back and spent the past two seasons with the New Orleans Saints and played well in the absence of Drew Brees. It was enough to get him another shot in the NFL as a full-time starter.
