There are threads about overall game one accessement. I am doing an objective evaluation on QB Tua alone.
If you take away his INT and slow start, he had a decent game.
- accuracy, C+. After he warmed up after the first two drives. His accuracy was unquestionable. Would have been a B if not the int.
- pocket awareness, B. Bears had good pass rush all game. Tua felt the rush and got rid of the ball in time. Marked improvement over last season.
- command of the offense. TE, TE after TE. Did not spread the ball around enough. Could be play calling, so I am not blame it squarely on him. However I don't see any audible. Like to see him shifting formation around to confuse the defense. C+
- arm strength. B. There is definite improvement there. Saw him drive the ball to tight window. One or two passes lack a little zip, others were fast enough.
- decesion making. I am not going to sugarcoat it. The int was ugly. He had no pressure. Other than that, there was no major error. But the RZ int was a killer. D
- running, scrambling. Like to see more. Bears pass rush was relentless. He could have run for few first downs. Again, could be coaching decision. C
Over all C+. Then I factor in the strength of Bears defense, lack of running game, and our starting WR were all out. I bump it up to B-.
