With our weapons and defense, we have enough to go far. Cuz if Tua cant do it or gets hurt, I think Brisset can get it done. Dude kinda reminds me of when David Garrard was in his prime and playing his best FB. He's a big, strong dude with a plus arm and, man, that DIME he threw to Foster was $$!

Tua's intangibles are still developing and his 'tangibles' are still pretty underwhelming, IMO. Im far from being in the 'anti-Tua crowd' but a small guy with a not-great arm is a small guy with a not-great arm.
The greatest things Ive seen from Tua, as a pro, are the moments when he's shown good intuituon and savvy and good vision on the run. He's also ridiculously pin-point when he's on. He's not always 'on' though but Im hoping that the off moments will be fewer and further between.

Brisset, with this roster, has a great opportunity to drive a fast car far if Tua got injured or doesnt pan out. He's the right man for the job. He's a back-up who I truly believe in. He's definitely got NFL-caliber tools.
 
There are "Tangibles" - that are very easy to measure, and a physical talent that is impossible or difficult to improve, such as height weight, 40 time, MPH throwing the ball, vertical, etc. But there are physical talents that are just as hard to improve, but harder to measure. For example, the RPO last night in the first minute of the 2nd quarter -the bobbled then caught pass over the middle to Hollins. Tua pivots right to fake handoff, then shifts his feet left into passing stance to fire the ball to Hollins. Tua does this faster than any QB I've seen. Other qb's can practice this endlessly, and will improve somewhat, but never match Tun's speed at this. This is a "tangible", I'd say, just not as measurable.
 
Wow, some terrible takes on my post.

Im just feeling good at QB unless they both get dinged. It would take injury to supplant Tua.

And let's not overlook how important this shift signals to Tua's recovery from his hip.

He's not only doing this insanely fast... he's doing it after the injury that could have the most impact on his ability to execute it.

Tua recovered in one year from a very similar injury that robbed the NFL of one it's greatest physical specimens of all time; Bo Jackson.

Make no mistake, Bo Jackson was a marvel of natural ability. He almost never was in the gym. It was god given and generational ability. Why did Tua rehab when Bo couldn't? One reason....

The University of Alabama sports medicine staff correctly diagnosed the injury on the field and took the necessary and immediate steps to save Tua's hip .... using knowledge learned from Bo's injury.


That staff saved Tua's career in a matter a minutes on the field and in the tunnel. Those few minutes were the difference between having a future and not in the NFL.

i think we have finally detected Omar's secret FH account
 
He's a small guy with a not great arm. What do you call pinpoint passing skills? That's part of having a great arm unless you mean a big arm like Jeff George, that's different. There is a ton of nuance to the QB position, there the whole pre snap deal, the play action fakes, packet presence, going through your reads quickly, getting the ball to the right guy, location of the ball, staying away from picks etc. It not just about having a powerful bazooka arm and being 6'5", it's about moving the football, being a leader on and off the field and winning big games in the playoffs!! I like the guy we have at QB. I didn't want Watson or Rodgers. I'm not saying Tua is better than either of those guys now, I'm saying let this young team develop around Tua and he will take them far. Tua is 23 and Rodgers is 37, Tua has played in many huge games in front of massive crowds. He'll make us proud when the lights are the brightest!

We got MUCH better this off season. The problem is that so did every other team in the AFC East including the Patriots. Wilson looks really good to me. I think the Jets may have finally got it right at QB and Buffalo improved also, that's a scary thought. There are no easy outs in the AFC East. We'll learn a lot in our first 2 games, the Pats then the Bills. It would great to open the year 2-0!!
