It's because they don't understand football. Tua has 2 bums at receivers and a potential stud in Waddle. He has Gesicki who I do think is a good mismatch. Mack Hollins and Albert Wilson as your starters is a catastrophe. How many players broke tackles and got YAC other than Waddle? How many Rbs got to the second level or actually caught his passes? Gaskin and Ahmed combined must've bobbled 5 passes. How is this any better than last year when he had Bowden Ford and Hollins as his starting WR Corp?
You can see it on the field, Tua usually is double clutching or waiting for his receivers to make the right reads or come open. Like you said it's literally all Tua doing everything.
Even on some of the misfires, what the hell are our receivers doing? There is a wide open seam route and Smythe turns it into a bender. Albert Wilson literally one inch from Waddle on Curls.
Tua did make some mistakes like missing a wide open Ford down the seam, throwing the pick and not running for the first down but if he's making 3-4 mistakes in 47 throws as a second year player how the hell do you have any blame for him on that?
His line was an atrocity as well giving up 20 pressures and Tua moving swiftly through the pocket to bail them out.
You were right when you said it. Tua is surrounded by a pee wee football team. It's maddening to watch someone on a different level than everyone else on offense (other than waddle and Gesicki). Just imagine if he had actual NFL players at the other positions.
Well if you buy some of the things you're being sold - Tua shoulders the blame for losses. He's the quarterback. Although that doesn't apply to other quarterbacks.
He also gets no credit for wins. That's all Flores winning in spite of him. I mean how much more obvious can it be.....
Miami is concerned that Tua isn't a "franchise" caliber quarterback after playing about 11 games. He's the issue with the team.
What Tua might want to be concerned about is that Ross isn't a "franchise" caliber owner. After about a dozen years.
Or that Grier isn't a "franchise" caliber GM. He's only been with the organization about 20 years.
Or that Flores isn't a "franchise" caliber coach. What's his record without Tua again?
Or that his half dozen OC's aren't "franchise" caliber OC's. Weber State wouldn't hire any of 'em.
Where's the "franchise" caliber offensive lineman? Running backs? Receivers?
Where's the "franchise" caliber linebackers and defensive lineman? DB's?
Look, anyone with a functioning brain understands Tua isn't the problem with the dolphins. You don't have to know anything about football other than it's brown. All these winners in the dolphins organization from the owner down to the equipment manager are being held back by Tua.
The best thing that can happen to Tua is for them to part ways so they can trade all their draft picks for a QB that won 4 games last year in a better situation than the one he'd be coming to. The entire organization is radioactive. Nobody wants to be within it's grasp. They can't even pay players tens of millions of dollars to suit up for them.
They'd rather watch the dumpster burn from a distance too.
