1. Having a good QB alone doesn't guarantee anything. Do you not realize that Watson-led team just got us 3rd overall pick? Yes, QB is by far the most important position. However, to state that a good QB GUARANTEES you a playoff spot is absurd. We just had 7 AFC teams win 11 games! Tell it to Andrew Luck and the lack of support he received in his early tenure
2. So you just deemed Tua as "not good at football?"
That in itself is an idiotic statement. No one knows for fact if Tua will end up as a perennial Pro-Bowler or a bust after 9 games in his rookie season.
As a matter of fact, his numbers are very similar to Russell Wilson, Rodgers, Josh Allen, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees in their first 9 games.
But all of those guys are not good at football right?
1. No, you are absolutely correct. However, do you believe this team we have today with Deshaun Watson is a playoff team? Do we make the playoffs? Houston is God awful and they were in just about every game this year because of this man. By the way, he's led his team to the playoffs twice already.
2. When you look at Tua, if you can't look at him and see his physical issues, I cannot help you. Number one, you need to stop looking at stats. I'm so tired of this. Just use your eyes. The guy had to be pulled twice in 9 games because he simply cannot adjust to the game.
You're going to try to compare Tua's 9 games to Russel Wilson? Aaron Rodgers? Matt Ryan? Drew Brees? Even Josh Allen? Even Ryan Tannehill? With the exception of Josh Allen, not one of those guys had a single game with under 100 yards passing. They all have better physical tools than Tua. Yes, Drew Brees is bigger and stronger than Tua. His arm is average, he's mentally not strong, he's not the accurate thrower he was thought to be, and he's tiny. Look at what you're comparing him to athletically. This is why your stupid 9 game statistical argument doesn't hold water. He got a ton of his yardage against Buffalo's prevent defense last week. He's has a 64% completion rate but the majority of his passes are flat routes. Stats, blah blah blah! See, I can do that too.
Tua will not ever be that level of player because he just does not have the physical tools to do so. Throwing in December in Buffalo like Josh Allen. Did you see him? Again, I do not care about the numbers. It's the ability to do so. He does not have the tools!
Tua is what he is, as I said before, a high ceiling drafted guy. He was at the peak of his physical tools when we drafted him. If you cannot use your eyes to see that he will NEVER be on the level of any of the guys you mentioned, then you are just blind.
After Rodgers's first 9 games, people were wowed, same with Wilson. Ryan was impressive after 9. Allen showed tools with his legs and actually improved throughout the year. Brees was a second-round pick, so comparing him to a 5th overall is dumb to begin with but he was still better and was at his floor when he was drafted.
If you want to make the argument based on numbers, maybe go look at Deshaun Watson's first 9 starts and then decide we should 100% make this deal 10x over. Watson is a proven commodity and you do not pass that up.
