He gets a lot of wide open looks. There’s a very small part of the field that he is accurate in.

 

That's a good point. Tua can mostly hit college-open guys within a 20 yard radius. Or, put it in range of a guy open by 5 yards downfield. He doesn't try against tight coverage because he doesn't have that club in his bag. A man's got to know his limitations.

Isn't that the case with pretty much every starting QB?

Not always. It is when you have an established franchise QB, but a lot of people here basically argued that he's a no more than a young version of Teddy Bridgewater. So that's the comparison here.

He already beat the Bills. He's a proven winner his whole career. With that said, the Bills are the superior team but don't under estimate the Tua factor. 

He beat the Bills practice squad and still only put up 185 yards + a TD. Should’ve had a pick 6. Yes, he won. Tua is an excellent game manager with the ability to pull a great game out of his *** once in a blue.
 

He’ll never be able to consistently put a team on his back the way guys like Allen or Mahomes do. He just has too many physical limitations. He’s a glorified Kirk Cousins and even that’s being generous.

Apparently newcam has taken that position 

Tua was knocked silly. Came back in the game and lead his team to victory against the daunted Bills. I bet he doesn't even remember playing the 2nd half. He was on auto pilot and made a great deep pass to beat the Bills. Got to give him some credit. Sure the Bills had so many injuries and the heat. I get that but the fact remains a wobbled and concussed Tua willed his team to a win. It was a classic David vs Goliath. Tua isn't great or elite. However, he can be a very effective system passer and his team believes in him. That goes a long way in getting wins.

I’ll believe that when the fat lady warbles.  He’s got too long of a history turning trash into treasure.  I don’t want to see that, mind

 

The fat lady is dead, buried, and already decomposing.

Well, there's quite a bit of distance between Allen/Mahomes and the rest of the league. I don't think anyone expects him to hit that level. Ryan Tannehill? Derek Carr? I think right now Miami would be happy with that.

He's just not dedicated to his craft. Doesn't put in the work. Anti-process.

 

 

I like the idea of the soft rush in the rematch, get in his throwing lanes and don't let him see, bat balls, force him to elevate the ball to get passes over Groot and the other trees like J Phillips and Daquon. Should be fun fun fun for the zone DBs.

Can you really blame Claypool though? With QBs throwing to him like a geriatric Roethlisburger, Trubisky, or Pickett? It’s frustrating to WATCH. I can only imagine how annoying it is for him.

I mean, I'm sure that guys like Garrapollo, Fields, Davis Mills & Brissett are better than their backups, but it doesn't make them good QBs.

He didn't beat us. WE beat us.

Maybe you had a concussion. It’s a reasonable explanation for you takes.
