Here he comes!

He's killing it this week and doing with non starters exclusively. He needs some time with the ones.

I understand the “not a mango That needs ripening” quote.
However, we do not want his body or confidence crushed due to the OL not being ready.
Likely Fitz has a better ability to deal with a subpar line. He sure Has experience from last year.

It says once he's beaten out Fitz. My thought. If you would like him start at another time that can be your thought.
 
It's just due to his offensive line and receivers. Anyone would look good with all that 3rd string Dolphins talent around them.

Furthermore, he's too short to play quarterback and struggles against top 30 defenses.

The Dolphins need to wake up!

Exactly. Throwing to future Best Buy employees is way easier than the starters. Lets switch RF to throw to the thirds for a day and see how he does.
 
Love the kid. I know a lot of people like the Brees comp. I’m old enough to remember Steve Young and happened to see some clips of him the other day. Take the raw speed out, Tua’s accuracy, arm strength, command, and ability to throw on the move or from the pocket are reminiscent of Young to me (this is not a southpaw thing, really). Very precise and an excellent leader.

I think Young was more dynamic, but Tua's accuracy/ball placement might be better. His biggest obstacle is staying healthy. Otherwise, I have no doubt he can be the star Miami is looking for, especially if the front office is able to put decent talent around him.

That was dripping with so much sarcasm that I have to wipe down my mouse. Pachy is one of Tua's biggest fans...

Thanks for clarification. Tua seems to be improving week 1 to week 2.
 
meh. I'm the biggest Tua cheerleader on the planet. But these are just meaningless training drills with minimal contact, of course he is smoking our backup D.

If he had a regular camp plus 4 preseason games, he would have quickly demonstrated that he is in a different class to the career-journeyman and the Arizona bust that he is 'competing' with. Still, its maybe not a bad thing that this years conditions are preventing him from quickly winning the starting job, id prefer not to rush him into the lineup.

An underrated part of Tua that is also reminiscent of young is that when he does run he has good vision and instinctive moves
