I agree with you. Build up the offense around Tua and if he stinks next season you can draft a QB in 2023 with hopefully a new GM and head coach. They will have two first round picks in that draft and the ammo to move up if they want. I like CJ Stroud out of Ohio State.
2022 Miami Dolphins QB....

The answer to the crux of the OP’s question is that yes, the smartest thing to do would be to spend this off-season building the supporting cast of a clearly deficient offense that lacks the OL, RBs, and WRs to compete for playoff wins no matter who is playing quarterback.
Then, assuming we have a good and well-rounded team next offseason (something we haven’t had in approximately two decades), but lack the quarterback to compete in the playoffs, the smart thing to do would be to go all-in on resolving the QB hole with our two first round picks and any other future assets we need to mortgage to put us over the top.
Because that is the clearly smart move, we can be sure the Dolphins won’t do it. I’m prepared for a premature all-in trade for a quarterback, a few 10-7 to 8-9 type seasons, and a new regime in 2025.

I still feel with a proper line and running game we can better assess Tua. I know going into another season this should not be the discussion but we have poor personnel running this show and it is what it is.
A pocket passer running for his life on most plays does not provide proper assessment.
Everyone and their mother knows that the Dolphins line is an embarrassing joke.
If we fix the line and running game via FA and draft and Tua still $hits the bed then of course we move on from him. I would be packing his bags myself!
Not sure how bringing in Watson improves those 2 areas, but some of our fans have a major man crush on Deshaun.

The only rumors came from a desperate Houston team. No one is trading anything of value for him unless he is cleared of the allegations. Rodgers or Tua 2022!
Watson will be traded but it won’t be to the Dolphins. Tua will be the Dolphins starter in 2022 and if they still are not convinced after the 2022 season he is the answer at the QB position. The New GM and HC will trade up and select a new QB in the 2023 draft.
If Tua shows in 2022 he is the long term answer. Flores and Grier will still be Miami and they will use the 2023 draft to continue to build the offense and defense.

I wanted Wilson instead of Tannehill in the 2012 draft but Wilson seems to have regressed this season. He has always been a QB who takes a lot of sacks and if he had to play behind the Dolphins OL, he would probably set a record for QB sacks.
Wilson and Tua basically have very similar stats this season. So it really doesn’t make any sense to trade for Wilson if the idea is to replace Tua. Maybe a few years ago trading for Wilson would have been an upgrade but I just don’t see Wilson as an upgrade at this stage of his career.

Pump the brakes on Russell Wilson - he's either declining or really unhappy because he was not good this year - I watched every Seahawks game.

Our top tier defense makes us very likable to these older vets. I would be very happy to get Wilson, he would make us a instant playoff team.
Obviously the fact that a veteran QB would be playing behind the worst OL in the league and a bottom 3 running game and one quality WR doesn’t seem to factor into your statement that the Dolphins defense would entice a QB to want to come to Miami.
While the Dolphins defense is the strength of the team at this time. They aren’t even ranked in the top 10 in the league and I think the lousy offense would outweigh the defense if a veteran QB was actually thinking about where he would like to play in 2022.

I wish this was accurate, but that's not the case.
They were close to pulling the trigger at the deadline.
Where's Mike Tannenbaum when you need him?

Also, any new QB in 2023 will actually have a team built around him unlike what Tua has had to prove himself.
There will be a lot of QB hungry teams. Maybe you can 2nd rounder. Anything more would be gravy.
