This is probably blasphemy, but I don't put NEAR the emphasis on film many seem to. Not saying 'flaws' can't be noticed nor am I saying film doesn't show talent. What I AM saying, from opinion, is hx shows those with elite film often end up average or worse and those with meh film can make HOF. Yes, a part of that is because humans are watching the film. BUT, again, IMO, football has become a cerebral game. Diagnostics/quick reactions are critical. Film doesn't show if the prospect has the mental talent/quickness to succeed in the NFL. This is particularly true with QBs. I know of no way to evaluate a rookie/2nd year guy's mental quickness. I think TT can be Miami's starter for years to come and could be top 5. But until I see him in live fire the 1st 5 games, I have no idea if he can process at NFL speed. To his defense, he took stretches where he looked quick and confindent and didn't have much in quality targets. I expect the "big leap," but I don't think it's evident on film

Well if we are going to compare him to Steve young then there is something we have to keep in mind. I am not here to rain on your parade but Steve Young was a QB that Tampa gave up on, and were glad to get rid of him after two years for Vinny Testaverde. It wasn't up until his 8th year that he managed to have his first complete season, and throw over 20's for the first time. Steve Young inherited a Super Bowl team as well, but that doesn't rob the things he did great as a QB. Technically speaking, it took him some time to develop all the skills he needed to become a pro qb as David Carr mentioned. From Tua we are expecting him to play at that pro level already not in 4-5 seasons as someone's back up.
There is no disputable fact that Tua has pinpoint accuracy, and his arms last season didn't showcase all of it's strength because of the way Tua sets his feet, uses his hips, and throws the ball. The David Carr video wasn't really a great video to talk about, but we can actually use Kurt Warners video instead. We want to be able to see what he can do right, and what he can do wrong.
Moving forward from this video we can clearly see that there were times that there were mistakes from receivers, and other times Tua did not accurately access the field. But what Rookie isn't going to make that
mistake? In terms of Tua being able to roll out of the pocket like Steve Young many in here says he isn't as mobile, but that could be further from the truth. While he is more of a pocket passer than Steve Young,
if he has to run out of the pocket to get to the end zone he actually has the legs and speed to do that. Steve Young's 40 time is 4.5, while Tua's 40 time is 4.9. Tua isn't going to be that kind of mobile qb but many qb's
that were still considered mobile were still mobile later on their career, and I am pretty sure they didn't run the same 40 time, just as Steve Young didn't run that 40 time in his 8th season most likely.
Look at this video that analyzes his throw mechanic. We can see how his injury can effect some of that throw power. Either how we are expecting Tua's delivery to improve because of his injury is now closer to 100% more than ever. He looks healthy, and more lean this off season too. Let's hope for the best!

Agreed with everything in that video. It’s what I’ve been saying throughout as well. Good watch, thanks!
Agreed, great video.

How can you not derail a pro-Tua thread when it's populated by his most ardent followers?
If you spell his name wrong you aren't a real fan...a hater...don't know QBing...should trade teams...etc., etc., ad nauseum.

Just reading the above posts, if those are TT's most "most ardent followers," we disagree on the definition of "ardent." I have stated he looked god for a quarter here and there and the film looks good, but I and a few posters to this thread give qualifications (e.g., wait and see). Yes, there are a few blind followers, but this thread doesn't seem to have any of them

Here's another one of his videos. Keep in mind this was made before last season.
Dude knew Devonta was a stud before 1,850 and 23. How many people were high enough on him to think he was comparable to Chase a year ago?
(Don't mean to derail, but I think this gives him some cred)

Well coming into a thread with this snark would be a good way to ignore the request
Tua is the QB of the Miami Dolphins... If fans of players on this team irritate you, maybe you're just not in the right place...
