Wins are all that matters. Since Tua was drafted, we’re 18-8 with him and 4-10 without. Say what you will, but that’s a huge discrepancy. Yes Tua was rusty, and when the one-read scripted plays were done, he did not play his best. The difference between Tua and the other QBs though is his accuracy and quick release. You don’t see nearly as many 3 and outs with Tua. While we’re not where we need to be scoring, how many times did Tua make accurate throws that moved the chains? This in turn made us able to drive far enough to flip the field and pin the Pitt offense deep countless times. It also allowed the defense to stay more rested. The defense won this game, but that’s complimentary football. Go back to Teddy and Jacoby Brissett: constant 3 and outs that put the defense in bad positions to not give up points. That’s the difference. Morestead was a huge addition also. He has been money
 
I like Tua a lot but we didn’t flip the field. In the second half, our possessions were as follows:

- turnover on downs (where we could have kicked a FG)
- 3 and out
- 3 and out
- 3 and out
- 3 and out
- 3 and out
- kneel down

I agree w what you wrote but it would apply more to the other games he played this year, not last night. Not a good performance in the 2nd half.
 
In the meantime Zappa is putting on a show and it looks like the AFC East is going to have all its teams with a winning record.

Yeah I’m mostly talking about his overall body of work. For instance though. The Steelers had us backed up inside the 10 and Tua threw a dot on an inside post to Tyreek. That would’ve been a spot for a three and out that leads to Pitt points. Yes Tua did not have a good game. He was disappointed in his performance and even stated that the wasn’t acclimated to the game speed.

I saw him play in college and really liked what he brought. Makes quick decisions and fits the Patriots scheme perfectly.

I think Flores and Tomlin said ok, I know your weakness and I believe it to be arm strength, so I’m gonna take away the middle of the field and your gonna have to beat me outside the hashes and deep, and We couldn’t get it done.

Love Tua but I’m confident to say and I’ve said for years unless his feet are set and pointing in the right direction of his target he can’t get the requisite mustard on the ball..

Tua and Co got shut out last nite when the middle was takin away it seemed.

It’s Tuas move to see if he can win outside the hashes

Yes, exactly and our offensive guru coaching staff could not adjust on the fly
 
I wanted us to blowout Pittsburgh also, but I figured it would be a 🐕 dog fight . Nothing comes easy for the Dolphins or their fans.
