Two QB's in rookie year after 9 games...

QB1 = 1,453 yards - 10 TDs - 2 INTs - W/L = 7-2
QB2 = 1,639 yards - 13 TDs - 8 INTs - W/L = 5-4

So before you go throwing TUA under the bus, just remember that QB2 above was Russell Wilson in 2012.

Also, it's taken some time for Josh Allen of the Bills to get to playing at the level he is now. You can say whatever you want about Bills fans, but they are patient and loyal fans.

The Dolphin's (and Tua) should be so lucky if we demonstrated some of the same fidelity. That's the only real point I'm trying to make with the comparison (so before you even get started - quit your bitching).

My point is that we should be patient, loyal and GRATEFUL fans. This year has been a blast. And Tua will continue to grow, learn and evolve. Hopefully, into a Top 5 quarterback in the AFC... maybe Top 5 in the NFL. We'll see. But the sky need not be falling because of his play the other night. Be happy we have the best backup (Fitz) in the NFL to mentor this young man and to come in and save the day if/when needed. Few teams have such a luxury.

That's all. Peace! Fins up!
 
I see this team being built a lot like those early Seahawks teams around Russ. Strong D built from back to front, mobile/smart QB that doesn't make a lot of mistakes, and strong run game. The Fins have been missing that last part, but these last two weeks have shown they're committed to it.

If they can get that run game into at least a top 15 unit and Tua matures his game in the off-season then watch out.
 
The one thing I'd like to know from Tua is why he didn't throw to Gesicki on the first play? It was a similar play that Fitz did throw which was, of course, the big bomb. Tua was looking at him, you know he saw it, but didn't pull the trigger. I do wonder if his hip injury has caused him to lose trust in his ability to throw downfield. Not that he can't do it, but he doesn't trust it completely.

Just from observation, but TT doesn't seem to trust himself yet. Seems just a little indecisive on scrambles and some passes. He'll get there. He has the talent. These are problems experience can fix
 
I wish Finheaven can come up with some sort of football IQ test before allowing posters to post, especially in the game day threads. I swear most of those people should be Required to wear bicycle helmets

It’s not the hip, he’s just playing careful and playing to not “blow it” where Fitz is playing with house money and not a care in the world. Really, what does Fitz have to lose? Tua has to prove himself to his teammates. That’s what’s going on

There will be a time the coach will have to tell him to grip it and rip it. He is more hesitant than at anytime I saw him in college. Granted his receivers aren't helping with that but he needs to balance chance with preventing turnovers. It's a sticky situation. The Dolphins are winning because they don't turn the ball over. But their careful handling of Tua leads to 3 and outs, field goals and some putrid possessions. I do believe that will change.

Ya but those Seattle teams had bare rosters. The 2020 Dolphins are loaded. You got Xavien Howard and...um, well, you know, something called a Van Ginkel.

Your going to make people's heads explode with sound reasoning.

No look passes are how you win titles. See Mahomes.

This year has indeed been a blast. I want this season on dvd or whatever the equivalent to saying that now is. With interviews, extra flo footage, all of it.
