Dolphins QB
Definition
Shorthand slang in NFL contexts for the quarterback (QB) of the Miami Dolphins, the aquatic-themed franchise from Miami, Florida, known for high-octane offenses and occasional deep-sea disappointments.
Refers to the starting or primary signal-caller for the team; as of March 2026, post-Tua Tagovailoa's release and move to the Atlanta Falcons, Malik Willis holds a spot on the depth chart amid a post-Tua transition.
