He’s really tough

 

He'll have to be with that slow wind up release. Not too many QBs take two brutal hits to their exposed rib cage in the same game. But when you open yourself up for that long just to throw the ball that's what happens.

I was surprised by this. Tua, who has a very good chance of being concussed again, is going to be backed up by Mike White who I don't even know if he's better than Skylar Thompson who they already have.

Great move for Miami

[Beck Water]

2 year, $16M is pretty strong money for a backup

 

OK, well, there is that "up to" weasel-word in there so I guess we'll see.

Wow.  I would have liked him as a backup, but not at that price!

Means he knows he will play 4-5 games a year since Tua gets hurt every year and will continue to do so since he is fragile.

 

He’s a tough SOB, kind of like the Anti-Tua. I don’t suppose that is transmissible……but they wish it was.

 

Of course, now that Tua is taking classes to learn how to fall down he’ll probably be the toughest QB in the league! I hate to kid about this, but that first concussion he was barely shoved. It drew a flag, but I’ve seen harder hits in flag football. That’s concerning, and I doubt it changes significantly.

so I guess this means the Dolphins will have some pass plays of 30 yards + this year

It was actually just a back spasm so we wont count that I guess.

 

I bet he will get back spasms just by having Milano on field.

He should contact Teflon™ T*m since he is semi-Fish and ask for referral to his acting professor.

Does wonders in preventing hits on QB by making defense afraid to get penalty calls.

I would have liked to see White in Buffalo as our backup. To the eye test, he looked pretty good.

Ya, He Played well also

You don't say.  I have a theory on how Tua is able to get back on the field when he gets concussed.

 

Tua had the lowest Wonderlic score of any QB in 2020 draft with a 13.  So he has a baseline score that is slightly ahead of a wombat.  Nice guy and personality but not sure the lights were ever on.  

[Saint Doug]

So now they have 2 QBs on their roster that have been kept in games against the Bills instead of heading to locker room (or hospital!).

Since Tua's next concussion could be permanent, White could get a ton of playing time in Miami.
