At Bama, we used to call him, "one read Tua"....he is fantastic when the play design centers on one and only read, however, when the play breaks down and he is forced to improvise, he can't do it.

College could hide his flaws.....not so much in the NFL.

 

The Miami HC has been doing a fantastic job at game planning for ole "one read" and devising the O around him to hide his flaws, but you give Tua more than one thing to think about or more than one option and well, you've all seen the results on the field.

I knew the Fins taking Tua as their draft pick was a big, big mistake for them, however, as long as he is in our division, it's going to work out well for us.

$55 million per? I think Spotrac's projection here is too high. 

 

Cap just went up 20M...inflation.   Allen will be out of the top ten for AAV soon.

If the Dolphins can get the #1 seed, then they would have a shot at going to the Super Bowl. They struggle to play when the weather is nasty. The Chiefs game was proof of that. There are quite a few teams in the AFC where the weather can and probably will be a factor late in the year especially playoff time.

Miami struggles against good teams. Yeah, bitter cold doesn’t help, but they lost two games in Miami late in the year to Buffalo and Tenn

Too high, but ultimately it’s realistic. Last year he switched agents to the people who got Watson his 100% guaranteed contract. The thing with QB contracts is that they are more so based on the position, rather than the players’ abilities, and also based on how much the last QB signed for. Miami should understand that if they don’t make him the highest paid QB, another team undoubtedly will. We all know how hard it is to land a franchise QB.

Excellent. This should take MIami back a couple notches in what they can spend on the rest of the team. I don't fear them anymore. Tyreek is 30 and can't be the same player for much longer.

A Tua-led offense reminds me of our Frazier-run defenses.  Capable of wrecking mid-to-low tier teams.  But if the opponent can counter (in this case by forcing Tua to go past his first read), they are simply unable to adjust.

 

We're seeing their ceiling with Tua.  I think with high-enough seeding they can win a home playoff game, but will never reach the AFCCG unless they are the #1 seed, which I don't see happening.

Bama coach did not recommend him to his buddy in New England.  He took Mac Jones instead.  Not sure if he was recommended by Nick Saban.

This is probably a pretty good comp you made with frazier/tua

That's kind of the exact opposite of what Nick Saban and his game film said about him at Alabama lol

  

Nick Saban literally opened up the playbook to a more pro style offense because tua could get to his 3rd + read

 

Something that Jalen hurts couldn't do

 

When a play breaks down tua isn't a good improviser... But he can get to his second and third read in college very easily

 

He struggles in the pros because he's not built for the game and once his first reads not there he's taking a hit... So gets happy feet

 

Sabans my favorite coach and tua certainly did not have a problem at Alabama getting to his second third or even 4th read... I was at the Alabama spring game when tua was an 18 year old high schooler playing in the game

 

And he was dicing up Alabama's defense as a kid who was technically still in high school.. early enrolled... He was a tremendous college quarterback from the day he stepped on campus

 

Much better at processing and getting to his second and third read than Jalen

Tua was drafted at #6 in 2020. New England had the 23rd pick that year and they traded the pick (down).

 

NE drafted Mac Jones at #15 in 2021.

 

I really don't know where you are going with the above post.

Dude is a super solid human being and I wish nothing but the best for him personally (except when he plays the Bills).  This would be so much easier if he was a whiney dbag like Mahomes, then I could hate his guts.
