I must say I’ve never seen a player that folks really want to be RIGHT on as much as Tua. It’s like everyone’s evaluation skills are hanging in the balance in being RIGHT about Tua.
I hate comparisons like Brees and Tua. I think it is more important to focus on Tua’s ability to complete 70-85% of his passes. From his very first snap, he has shown good ball placement. There were plenty of rough spots while he improved his game, but I can see a very productive offense with Tua. I do believe he will get better at pre-snap which will make it a little easier for him. Any and I do mean any improvement from Jackson or Eichenberg will raise the floor for this offense significantly. I will give an example - a 10% increase of snaps with the punch and hand placement inside the line of shoulders would really help the running game. Eichenberg staying on his feet would really help the run game.

If any former QB to make a comparison for Tua I think it would be Young
Out of curiosity, why is that?

His play just reminds me more of Young and both being a lefty might have something to do with it though
Tua is maturing a lot.
It’s a bit early to compare him to Drew Brees. Let the record show you could say the same thing about Drew Brees himself after the first 3 years of his career.
Let the record also show that I want more titles than Brees lone Super bowl.

Yup, since we are comparing the 2, by my recollection Brees didn't look near where Tua is now at this stage. The last year in SD he really started looking exceptional, and we know the rest. But as you said it took him a few years.
He can be better
