The draft is almost here, but no matter which direction we go, there will disappointment with around fan of Phins nation...Don't do that to yourselves.

There are those that like Tua, those that would want Miami to do whatever possible to get Burrow, those thay want Herbert, and those that think Love is the man.

I am going to happy if we take Tua (But a little nervous on his health), Happy if we take Burrow (But a bit resentful of what we probably paid to get him), Happy if we take Herbert (But a bit nervous if he will not grow more as a leader in the NFL) or I will be happy with Love (Yet a bit nervous that 2019, not 2018, Is who Love is). All of them, the good far outweigh the bad.

What everyone needs to understand is just a great QB will not do it (Dan Marino), but yes, you still need a capable franchise QB. But, If you believe in our coaching staff, Miami can be competive with a consistent QB with good measurables that can be coached...There are not two, or four, or even six, but seven QBs that if coached the right way might be Franchise QBs

Tua, Burrow, Herbert, Love, Eason, Hurt, Fromm can all be very sucessful in the NFL with the right coaches, and talent around him, so if we get one of them, but it's not who you were hoping for, let it go, and look at the big picture 1st...Meaning wait to see what Miami does with the other drafts before going insane.

Obviously after Burrow, Tua, and probably Herbert, Miami should not be using the 5 for the others QBs, like Love (14 or later), everyone else (28 or later), but each of them can help the team, and there even more QBs in the draft like Anthony Gordan, James Morgan that can come out of no where like Brady, Warner, Esiason, Montana, Fouts, Tarkenten...

Enjoy the draft, and remember, if by some crazy reason, Miami does not come out of this draft with a QB, next year Miami again has multiple #1s.

poll says 85% wants TUA.

Don't know which poll you're looking at. Both Finheaven polls (who we think we will take, and who we want to take) have Tua at approximately 65%.

But yes that is a lot.

And ultimately, I think its safe to say that those 35% who would prefer another route will find themselves very happy with him sooner rather than later. The question will be for how long. Hopefully he has a long and injury-free career and all the Tua cult can say "I told you so."

Truthfully I would take a shot on an elite player who wont last as long, rather than a mediocre guy who will last an entire career.

I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if we trade up for a QB! I'll be less so, if we take the china doll @5. I don't want him, but I won't scream if we just waste one pick on him.

But... I'll come around and root for whoever we draft. In the long run, I am positive that the front office has a much better take on this than I do.

That said, if we take Tua and he becomes an injury riddled mess (as I suspect that he will), I may grumble... a lot.
 
Odds are that down the road the best qb in this class will be someone besides Burrow and Tua. All one has to do is look at past drafts and see where the top qbs in the league now were drafted. Most of the elite weren't taken at the top of their draft classes.

IMO part of the reason this is true is because of how desperate teams are for franchise QBs in the modern NFL. This year has a pretty solid QB class. I’m sure at least one guy will be a future star. History has shown that it is almost never the 1st QB taken though.
 
Tua or Burrow are the only two QBs worthy of a top 5 pick.

Drafting Herbert would only carry on the long line of stupidity the Dolphins have implemented at QB since Marino.
 
Sometimes you gotta look at yourself in the mirror and say: "When in Rome".

Agree with everything except Fromm and Hurts...who are both destined to be career backups in my opinion. Fromm’s arm is just not good enough....Hurts is not NFL accurate.
