i think you put Tua in. I would say do it now but buffalos d worries me for his first go. but if he is ready let the kid in.
Fitz looked like he did everywhere he has been. 1 good year then doo doo the next. I love the guy, but not as our starting qb. Im just a big believer in letting the kid play if they are ready, and i dont think it can be worse than today
 
I say put him in vs Buffalo.

Trial by fire.

After Buffalo, all other defenses will look weak and that could help him.
 
Has it crossed anyone's mind that Tua throws a nice ball but hasn't shown he is ready to take the helm in practice or camp? He sucked along with Rosen in the scrimmage. The two of them combined scored around the same as Fitz today.

Give him time.
 
I bet they put him in the second half of the Buffalo game as long as the line is holding up.
 
Fitz keep throwing picks like he is and Miami will probably not want fans at the game as the pressure will be on to start Tua.

I’m going to trust the staff over Finheaven posters. There is no love affair with Fitz, they will make the change when Tua is ready.

I'm in agreement with you on not rushing to start Tua, but I do have to point out, NFL teams do make some awful decisions at QB. NFL staffs have looked at guys like Jamarcus Russell, EJ Manuel, Blaine Gabbert, and Christian Ponder and said "that's my guy!". I've Dolphins' staffs think that John Beck and Chad Henne were gonna be the answer. Just cause these guys are professionals does not mean they aren't subjective to their own biases and projections.

That said, there's been nothing to indicate so far that Tua has shown on the practice field that he gives the team a better chance to win that Fitz up to now. And while that's based on limited info, that's all we have right now. He's a rookie.
 
This has been a really strange offseason, with limited reps, we have a patchwork O-line that hasn't gelled yet, and let's not kid ourselves, we aren't contenders this year.

I am REALLY sold on Tua. I think he is our future. Easily our best QB draft since Marino, and the best prospect to fall in our laps since Pennington. But that said, there is no rush here. We all watched the documentary that said his health is 100%, but if he sits this whole season, I'm at peace with that. The more time he has to learn our offense and heal up properly, the better. When the time is right, I think he's gonna be a beacon of hope for this team and its long suffering fandom. I'd hate to do anything that wouldn't start him off on the right pat.
 
Short weeks are unlikely for a qb change. And the jax game is a short week. However fitz keeps turning the ball over it will be sooner rather than later
