The Phinsider on Kyle McCord

McCord trade seen as addition by subtraction over Ewers despite college-to-NFL translation concerns.

McCord was acquired as a backup QB upgrade over Ewers; the source notes he broke the ACC record for yards in 2024 (beating D. Watson's 2016 mark), though acknowledging college production doesn't always translate to NFL caliber. Despite skepticism about McCord being 'a college QB propped up by elite wide receivers,' the source views the trade as 'a giant leap from Ewers' and 'addition by subtraction,' suggesting the Dolphins made the right call at the position.
