I think what some are trying to say is that Tua didn't exactly play great or carry the team during those wins. In many games, the defense played lights out, and Tua just had to not lose the game. I remember him playing well in the Ravens game and maybe one other, where I thought, hmmm, maybe he's turning the corner. And then he completely regressed and played his worst games in his career. The Titans game really brought a lot of fans down. One of my closest friends was extremely deflated by that game. It put serious doubt in a lot of neutral fans.
Think back to the Raiders game. Brisket was one drop away from a 30+ game and come from behind victory and we know he sucks! Any QB can have good days or moments. When has Tua played consistently well enough that you thought he was dominating the league. His completion percentage stat is nonsense. How can you guys get jazzed up over another 5 yard completion that almost every professional QB can complete blindfolded?
Did Tua have moments this year? Sure. he's definitely a huge upgrade over Brisket. but do I want to build a team around him? As of now, that's a hard no. he's too limited and he doesn't seem like he's improving. Next year will be another wasted year of "evaluation".
Get Wilson, fix the offensive line and lets try to get to a SB. I'm tired of mediocrity and half measures. Tampa pried Brady away from the Patriots and were successful.
In hindsight, maybe we should of stuck with Thill, I mean we had all his growing pains with us, and then we didn't even get the benefit for training him for 5+ years. He's not the best QB, but he's more than serviceable and can win you a game here and there.
