Worth the read.

Fact based, no fluff.

You really felt that was a good article? It was more "I've got to write something, because I'm a writer and need to get paid" than anything of value.

The most laughable line in there was, to paraphrase "Rodgers / Mahomes have gotten hurt, but they are so good, so it's ok" but because "Tua is a rookie, it's not acceptable". If you feel that's what counts as insight, good for you. To me, it's a guy clicking keys to make his "I want to stay employed" quota.

QB's bang their throwing hand on helmets all the time. It happens when the QB *stands in to make the play and takes the hit on purpose* so I guess we could have our injury prone QB simply start throwing more balls away and take more sacks to make the 'injury prone' crowd more happy?

As for last weeks injury, who wouldn't have gotten hurt? Seriously? We've seen lots of players, from every position, get slammed by a guy with a 10 yard running start into a blindsided player and most of the players on the receiving side seem to go down and stay down.

That article is asking wrong questions, which is: how much was Tua responsible for calling last second protections and did he or did the call go unexecuted? Another question is: how could our OL be this freaken bad? At least at the moment, it's an epic failure. Why has it proven so damned hard for Miami to develop a line?

Well I disagree. I don't think Tua being constantly hurt is the Oline's fault. Tanny took way more vicious hits and always popped right back up. Cutler too took amazing hits and survived. Just saying with Tua, he's fragile. Flores even know this, why else put in Brissett for the QB sneak. Also Brady just opinon the NFL is a lot softer than in years past. With Tua it's all about excuces. And yes if you win Super Bowels you get the benefit of the doubt.

Tua constantly being hurt is not the O-lines fault you are so right, brother. He got hurt because is small and there's nothing more to it than that. Tannehill and Cutler took a beating thus proving that size matters when it comes to taking and giving a pounding.
 
Wow so enlightening

Imagine that he compares two HOF QBs who were injured early in their careers and had time to establish themselves to Tua who is just injury prone

I mean seriously even the quasi fan knows about Brees injuries while in SD

Even the quasi fan knows about A Rodgers and his concussion problems

Misremember much Mr Klump? These two were not HOF players at this stage of their career but teams invested and it paid off and when I say invested I mean surrounded them with an Oline

BB did not hang Tom out to dry he had what many regard as the best of the best Oline coaches in the history of the game

Time for Ross to open his wallet

No we have 3 rookies coaches coaching near Rooks on O recipe for disaster and we knew it was disaster when the FO was scrambling to find LTs off rosters during TC

Pretty tell tale

Then you have the weakest TE on the planet taking up space when there should be a prototypical TE chipping the LDE at least get the LDE wondering if he will get chipped???

I mean the d knows when we are going to run and when we are going to pass this Geisiki does not fit an Oline that can’t hold a block

Love when people on message board call players soft for no reason. Love it

Let’s not forget about the almighty generational prototypical QB, Luck….. where is he now again and why? Wasn’t Rus Wilson in that same class? And where is he now?

You made me chuckle out loud at work. We could all use more laughs; thank you sir.
 
I’d like to point out both of the surgeries for high ankle sprains were 100% optional. Tight rope surgery makes it impossible to sprain your ankle in the same way and many professional athletes have had it done. Jalen Hurts is one guy who I can name off the top of my head.
