The premise of this is even more sound in the face of Tua infatuation.Agree with the premise, but that premise is built on “rational evidence”.
I’m not sure an extremely small sample of anonymous players mentioning Fitz was better than Tua this year qualifies as rational evidence. Unless you’re trying to disprove that Tua won’t be elite from Day 1, in which that has already been disproven
Everybody and their mama...and their mama's mama, was was waiting with bated breath for Tua to play this year. They thought they would get the same Tua that was "accurate" because he was throwing to WRs that went in the 1st round and were usually guarded by DBs who are now youth counselors in their hometowns.
The reality has turned out to be much different than that view...
I mentioned before that there was no way that Tua could outplay Fitzpatrick in practice and then come gametime look worse than a bad game by Bubby Brister.
The players see who does what in practice. I'm sure they know that Tua didn't EARN his spot. It damn sure doesn't look like he did.
The thing is that the glass is neither half full or half empty...it's waiting to be refilled. Draft a QB with the 3rd pick...draft one in the 3rd round. It doesn't matter, just don't allow Tua to waste my time and be comfortable doing it.
