You won't be able to keep a few of these good young players (Waddle, Eichenberg, Hunt, Jackson, Phillips, Wilkins, Hollands). Did it hurt the Bills? At the time, Josh's contract was at the top. Quote

Again, you don't need to surround Josh with as much talent as you do Tua to have a highly productive offense. It's why you should only pay elite QB's top of the market deals. 1 3 Quote

If your hopes depend on the Dolphins having cap problems, I think you'll be disappointed. I mean they will lose Wilkins already. They probably can't keep Ramsey and Howard. They are already 70 million over without Tua and Waddle signed. Quote
nedboy7 Posted February 3 Posted February 3 People hating on Tua are silly. Dude is a great QB. But then again some of you literally hate the Bills. 1 1 1 Quote

Nah Look, we rag on Tua here. He's a rival team QB. He's not a one read QB. But I don't think there's any denying that he's come up small in December and January the last two years even with a HOF WR, a #2 who could arguably be #1 on most teams in the league and an offensive coach who tailored the offense to maximize Tua's strengths and hide his weaknesses. If I have to build a team from scratch I am taking Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Lamar and Stroud over Tua in a heartbeat. Above average QBs get paid and very recently have been paid stupid money. With the Dolphins in as much or worse cap hell as the Bills I won't knock anyone cheering the Dolphins to lock their budget for the next 8 years. Josh's contact looks ridiculously good right now 5 1 Quote
first_and_ten Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Don't be surprised if he gets more than Josh got. Quote

Josh covers so much of what’s happening on the roster, weak points are not as weak. Tua needs so much help, him having a too contract will absolutely hamper the dolphins Quote
Bill from NYC Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) We Bills Fans have become quarterback snobs, haven't we? We are slamming Tua as if he is garbage and while he is not an elite qb, he is more than twice as good as anything we had between the years of 1997 and 2017. I mean we are looking back at JP Losman, Trent Edwards, a finished Drew Bledsoe, Tyrod Taylor, Fitz, Rob Johnson, Todd Collins and Doug Flutie (who may have been the best of this sorry bunch). Looking back at that sad list, in those days we would have welcomed Tua, no? Edited February 4 by Bill from NYC 2 1 Quote

Its starting to make it harder despite him being good enough to carry a team we are totally out of our easiest path to a ring unfortunately - though still have a window open Quote

Fan in Chicago Posted February 4 Posted February 4 17 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Again, you don't need to surround Josh with as much talent as you do Tua to have a highly productive offense. Not to derail this discussion but yes we need to surround Josh with more talent than he has. One could think that we couldn't sign DHop because of cap constraints - one player who could have changed the ultimate outcome of the Bills season . Again, I don't want to hijack this thread. But paying Tua will affext their ability to get the level of talent they have now. But Dolphins need to pay him. He is a good guy and a good enough QB Quote

Josh's contact looks ridiculously good right now Lamar doesn’t come up short? This is the same narrative on here. If you don’t win the SB you suck. Tua will most likely keep improving. They don’t have much chance. And as you say it does help us regardless. Quote
The Red King Posted February 4 Posted February 4 KC eliminated Miami and Buffalo. Look at how each QB played. Josh played a great game and was let down by his supporting cast on offense. Can you say the same for Tua? Guy was terrible. Quote

And hope the Fish sign him to the largest NFL contract ever and he pilots the team to oblivion again and again! 1 Quote
TheFunPolice Posted February 4 Posted February 4 You can't say we're being mean, because we're rooting for the man to become the highest paid QB in history, preferably with an iron clad fully guaranteed contract! 1 Quote

The cap goes up every year, so that's just the way it works. He will probably get 45-48 per year if I were to guess. Term/guarantees will Be the big numbers to look at though Quote
