But only played QB for 1 full year in college. You can't blame him for a bad Dolphins FO for drafting him in the 1st rnd.
Well you can’t blame Grier obviously.

Tua still hurt. I dont want him if he cannot stay healthyTua might not come out now, though.
Thill17 is gone now. Who care. Next qb up. Go phinsAnother knock on Tannehill in a thread that had nothing to do with him. Congrats
TBH, I have had that concern, to some extent, for all college QBs not named Peyton.
Yes, thier college careers can be indicative, but do you really ever know for sure. The NFL is far more complex than even the most advanced college programs.
That's why interviews, and psyche profiles carry so much weight with teams that have good scouting teams.
There is a lot more that goes into assessment, than simply watching games, like average fans do.
I believe the quintessential "pocket passer" is the best way for a long, sucessful career as well.We're in complete agreement. I'm not a huge fan of my QB running as an added diminsion of their game. You look at a player like Murray, Watson etc and you know they're only one good shot away from being done.
As exciting as they are running with the ball you can't help think of RGIII, Pat White etc. It's only a matter of time before that shot gets you.
Thus, I need to know you can win a game purely based on passing the ball first.
Burrow put his head down quite a bit to gain those extra yards and make those plays for his team.
That's exciting to watch as a fan. But man, You're not going to last long in the NFL doing those things.
An unhealthy Tua just threw for 400+ yards and scored 40+ points against LSU. You can argue about whether he should or shouldn't be the top pick, but saying you don't want him because he can't stay healthy belittles that he he came back at less than 100% and the reason that Alabama lost wasn't because of their offense.Tua still hurt.

Are you saying durability is not a legitimate concern?An unhealthy Tua just threw for 400+ yards and scored 40+ points against LSU.

That wasn't what I'm saying. What I was saying is that the quote "Tua still hurt. I don't want him if he can't stay healthy" can very easily be spun to say that an unfully-healthy Tua put up 400 yards and 40+ points on LSU. Injury risk is obviously a factor, but him playing yesterday dinged up is more of a positive than him sitting out.Are you saying durability is not a legitimate concern?
If so, I disagree. It may not, ultimately, be a determining factor, but it is a concern when the future of a francise hangs in the balance.
There are no gaurantees with any of these guys. You do have to weigh all the factors though.
I would not take Tua or Burrow. They will go high in top two picks. Tua is short. We do not want that. Burrow takes too many sacks, and he's a one-year wonder. There are two many risks, albeit with Tua the risks are much smaller. Let someone else take those risks high. Another overhyped prospect is Herbert who does not score enough.
Value right now is in Anthony Gordon who is the best QB prospect in the class, and also with Jalen Hurts who has put up a better season than Tua or Burrow, has rushed for 900 yards so far. Jalen however has questionable arm talent, but Gordon does not, he has a great arm. That's where the value is. Anthony Gordon for me.
Get Gordon, and get Najee Harris and Chase Young.
