They’ll throw him around like a rag doll again. It’s really not the players fault, but I imagine someone is going to get the distinction of ending this guy’s career, perhaps in an ugly way. 

 

Its entirely possible.  Tua just doesnt have the body for the NFL.  Personally, I like the guy.  I think he is a decent QB too.  What I can't stand is Miami fans and our resident Miami troll.

Must be bad since Tua has already been out a week and Bridgewater just suffered a head injury in this weeks game.

Thoughts and prayers for tua and good health. Don't like seeing anyone injuried or concussions.

And particularly this way. Half their losses are without Tua. Their entire season was derailed by this issue. They have a deep and skilled roster and I’d be curious to eavesdrop into their QB evaluation this off-season.

A pillow fight could kill this guy.

Yea, but Tua had lost 4 straight so it’s not like they were playing great with him.

True, but that stretch was a gauntlet. 3 of the 4 losses were 1-score games and Tua blew the Packers game post-concussion, presumably. 
 

My point here is to say I hope the Bills don’t have to play them a third time in wildcard round if Tua is back. They’re still dangerous.

Gotta say I’m a little surprised given past events, but also glad to know the Fins are doing the right thing. Truly feel for Tua. The kid loves playing the game, and he very well may miss out on the big contract. 
 

I like the idea of him going to the booth. I could see him doing a great job as a commentator.

I have to think that the atmospherics of rushing him back for a must-win game had to play a factor in this too. Stinks for the Dolphins, but they have no chance of beating the jets without Tua. Like none. 

[The Red King]

I love all their talk about his safety, there are more important things then football, etc., after they kept throwing him back in to be killed after the last two.

 

Not fooling anyone.  We know what you did, Miami.

May depend which Mike White shows up.  Could be a 9-6 game.

even if bad Mike White shows up, I am thinking Jets win like 13-3. It is not going to be a pretty game.

and?

I said after his horrible 2nd concussion, that he should retire.  I stand by that.

“ Tagovailoa played all of last Sunday’s game against the Packers but during a film session on Monday, coach Mike McDaniel asked him why he made certain decisions and plays and Tagovailoa could not remember, Glazer reported, triggering the concussion protocol.”
 

I have had a few severe concussions, I had a bad one in a college game, and I went back in and played like Tua.  I had no memory of it and didn’t realize it happened until watching film days later.  At some point I was pulled from the game tho, probably slurring words or something.  How Tua was able to call plays is puzzling.

 

poor guy.  He is a nice competitive guy but I hope he retires and gets into coaching or broadcasting.  It’s not worth your health man

Just noticed this.

 

Tua is STILL in concussion protocol as of January 26, and is not expected to participate in the Pro Bowl.

 

 

That guy should really take his $25M guaranteed and go sit on a beach somewhere, before he ends up like Kolb with permanent disabilities (if he isn't already there)

oh wow

[TheFunPolice]

This is a little concerning....

 

Tua seems like a great person... I hope he is OK long-term

I hope its just precautionary rather than post concussion symptoms.  The time between his 3 concussions last year is concerning.

I know it's his dream and all, not trying to be mean just because he's a Dolphin or because I don't really have too much faith in him even when healthy, but this kind of feels like a nail in the coffin of his career. What team is going to want to have the unfortunate risk that he now seems to have as a starter of missing time?
