I'd argue that says more about the Flores/Ownership relationship than Tua at this point. Look, I'm all about Miami blowing this and continuing to suck. I liked Tua in college, but now that he is a Dolphin he can get squished with the rest of them. I just think it is more mismanagement at this point than anything else. He shouldnt have started any games this year as it was. Especially with the wonky offseason, and no rookie camps, etc.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not against putting him on the Wall. I'm just sayin if he is Wall worthy, then he should be discussed for the Hall too. He's started games for 25% of the league. There isn't a fanbase anywhere that doesnt love him. If he starts the rest of the year, he likely leapfrogs Kelly on the all-time passer list. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_yds_career.htm

It happened after his time in Buffalo, so a lot of fans missed it. But the deeper you go into the police and case reports, the worse it gets. Sad for sure, because if not for this he may be my favorite Bill from that era. The first image that comes to mind when thinking of the SB days is him catching that blocked FG against Denver and taking it to the house. But eff him.

I cant disagree with that. 👍

I'd argue his overall career is far more impressive and noteworthy than the little he did while with the Bills.

Never going to happen after what he did to that girl. Nor should he ever be honored for anything ever again. I love(d) Biscuit, but can't anymore.

I like that explanation, and thanks for the insider insight, but this reads to me as if we are no longer surveilling Russia, but they will continue to surveil us. No?

Neither of those negate the fact that he was a slinger over a game manager. Just look at the Leaders in the box scores for the 2019 season. Against Duke Passing: Tua Tagovailoa 26-31, 336 yards, 4 TDs Rushing: Jerome Ford 10 carries, 64 yards, 1 TD Against South Carolina - 495 passing yards to 76 rushing yards Against Ole Miss - Tua Tagovailoa 26-36, 418 yards, 6 TDs, vs 155 rushing yards. etc, etc Sure, they had a good run game. But really only used it to burn the clock after Tua's passing attack put them up 40 points at halftime.

Get rid of the Electoral College, make everyone's vote equal, and give us Ranked Choice Voting, and then Trump's influence against our democracy wont matter.

Tom Brady is a B-WORD! Brandt with the good point: "If Baker Mayfield or Cam Newton pulled that, they would be annihilated in the opening segment of every radio show and every tv show in the world"

Tua was the OPPOSITE of the classic Bama game manager who just needed to hand off and rely on the defense. Tua was throwing for 400yards a game and not even playing the 4th quarter! He is not a tentative game manager. Never was.

This. Very much, this. I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes. By Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett in Good Omens: “It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.”

Tim Tindale, of course!

I know, it's just in fun. But I do believe he is as qualified as some others. Again, none of this stuff matters, so why not?

This is how I read last week with him being dressed but not playing. His brain injury could use the rest, but if injuries hit our interior OL like they did against Seattle, then he could be forced into action, and would make a very good backup.

I think Diggs should be discussed given what he has brought to this team. And I wont have the Fit debate with you here. This isnt the thread for it, or for me to point out it is the Hall of FAME, not Hall of Stats or Hall of Wins. It's just a marketing tool for the NFL. But I'm happy to discuss it further here:

Different positions have different values. So when talking about the Most Valuable Player, it's always going to start with the most valuable position. It's easy to give it to other positions when talking about just one game (Super Bowl MVP for example), but when you are looking at an entire season, it's going to default to the main position.

I'll join this campaign, if you join my "Fitz for Hall of Fame" campaign. Both should happen, but probably wont.

You're right on everything but the bold. And you are correct that it may never get back to normal, but the only way the Brain Bruise heals is by resting and not banging around. And the longer you have to stay inactive, the better.

As someone who has more than enough of them, they certainly do work like that. The longer you have to rest, the better.

Good thought, but we all know there's no way a WR is gonna get it.

You'd be surprised how fast that goes nowadays with just some regular Netflix streaming for a family of four. Netflix HD streams at about 3GB/hour. To hit 1.2TB, that is 400 hours of streaming each month. Sounds like a lot for you and I as individuals, but for a family it goes fast. And that isnt counting any other internet activity besides streaming Netflix.

Im on Comcast, but in Georgia, so for some reason I'm safe? Hadnt had a problem with it previously when we had data caps (they only temporarily lifted them for COVID relief). The good news is, we will have an all new FCC soon that will look out for the consumer and not the large corporation. So I'm expecting net neutrality and data caps to be addressed.

Yeah, up until recently I had been real worried about Flores and the great job he was doing in Miami. But watching him (and ownership) screw up with Tua makes me feel a bit better. haha

I'm a big SEC homer and specifically Bama fan so I already have a lot of love for Tua. But I was never really sold on him as an NFL QB, especially not after his injuries. We'll see. My comments are more having fun with schadenfreude and the Dolphins than the specific QBs. And even if Tua shows promise, I believe the Dolphins franchise will ruin him. They are already on track to blow it with this "start him-pull him" nonsense. edit: wrt "Not one human being on the planet would have drafted Herbert over Tua"... I dunno. Beane picked Allen over some much higher thought of prospects. I bet some teams in the league had Herbert ratd higher.
