Meh....don't backups always have to say that? Something about showing confidence? I remember Matt Moore saying the same thing too.
Read his actual quote. The OP misrepresented what was saidI didn't hear the quote, but if worded exactly that way, it was a dumb way to word his response.....especially coming from a veteran QB brought in to mentor the young starting QB immediately after he goes down with an injury.
He could have said i always prepare like a starter so i'm ready to step in when coach calls on me, or when needed. He could have said this is Tua's team but i'm ready to step into that role until he's back. He could have said i've been a starter and always see myself as a starter, so i'm ready to be the guy as long as this team needs me. He said none of those.
That said, he's no starter. He's week old trash on a hot summer day. If you go back and look at his starting history, he's a sub 60% completion guy who threw for sub-200 yards in over half his NFL starts.
When we didn’t clean house with Tannebaum and Gase, didn’t you also lose hope that “some point” would ever come? Cause I did.At some point they have to look at Grier and scouting, no?
Spoken like a knee-bending expert on the subjectTua was what 1-4 13 yards before he was injured. Tua sucks too
I agree and that’s why the anti-Tua crowd blaming him is ridiculous. I feel with a decent OL Tua will be a great NFL QB. At this point with the Dolphins unable to build an OL in years, Tua would be fortunate if they traded him. Because if he goes to a team with a solid OL, the anti-Tua crowd would realize he was never the problem in Miami.I dont think any qb would have been able to do anything behind this line today. Crazy reversal from last year, we basically reverted back to Flo's first year atrocious line play. Added to the untimely drops and turnovers, and unable to convert on 4th down twice, we were kind of doomed. The defense kept us in it as best as they could until realizing it wasnt going to matter because the offense couldnt do anything.
