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-.

You could be right about the wrong route. I have no info to confirm or reject.
Me football 101 tells me, if the qb throw on timing, release the ball right at or before the cut, and if the receiver cut the wrong direction, then the safey would be all alone for the int. The receiver would not be in the vicinity.

Yes, OL is area of concern.

Fair!
 
He made one bad throw, and it was dreadful. You don't throw that ball unless you missed seeing the safety,,, and I bet he did.

1st and 10. You don't throw tight into double coverage.
 
which passes did Tua seem to have a tired arm to you? I don't recall seeing any passes that were completed that seemed lacking. The interception had some zip on it, it wasn't like he just floated a jump ball to Shaheen.
 
We need a RB bad. Brown looked awful and Gaskin is a top 25 RB. We're hurting here. Teams will be smart, and not worry about our sorry RB,s, and cover the pass all game.. Lol
Brown had several plays where he was being hit in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. For example, on their goal line stand, I don't think there's more than two or three backs in the league that could have converted those 2nd and 3rd down carries due to the amount of penetration. Very similar to some of the plays we saw with Howard last season or Ballage the year before. We can change the big back every year, but if the blocking remains poor the results seem to be the same.

I honestly feel that Brisset is hands down better than Tua. Brisset, threw some real lasers while Tua's arm seemed weak and tired.
Not happy to say that. I see zero improvement in Tua.
