Teams win games....to rest of the world not Dolfans...Herbert was rookie of the year and broke records...Dolphin fans point to a team matchup...yes we know had a better team, just Nöt the better QB!
This still doesn't answer my questions or concerns.
Tua had the better defense not the better team.
Give Herbert our starting offensive lineup he probably doesn't break records.
Tua would look good as well playing with that offense.
Lucky or not, we will never know.
Also, many neglect to acknowledge the fact when Tua was in the game, our OC purposely limited the play calling. It was not the same as when Fitzmagic was playing.
Now you could argue that was because Tua was a bust sure. But you can't deny the play calling was different when Tua was in the game.
KC, Arizona are 2 games showing Tua was either clutch or could hang with the big dogs. It also showed how good he could be playing with a wide open playybook. He almost beat Mahomes without his top 3 Wrs, top 2 RBS Or his TE in the 4th quarter and most of the 3rd. The 3rd quarter against the Jets as well.
If Herbert was missing Henry, Williams, Allen and Ekeler does he break the records? We aren't even talking about the Oline where Herbert has All Pros and Tua had rookies.
For the record. Herbert went 2-4 without Ekeler alone. Imagine if you took away Williams as well or Allen Or Henry. In fairness to Herbert, his individual stats were solide during that time.
Fortunately for Herbert, its the Troy Aikman argument. You can't fault him for the amazing talent he had to play with. NO I am not comparing the 2 as QBS.
Unfortunately for Tua, you play with the team you got.
You are willing to say Tua had a better record due to the "team" yet you can't apply the same logic that Herbert was more successful thanks to an offense consisting of pro bowlers and or All Pros. Also, minus Ekeler, an offense who stayed healthy
