What bothers many was the lack of “special” we didn’t see last year...not rookie hiccups.I know you like to beat on Tua just to beat on him and that was the main motivation of starting this thread. An excuse to create another anti-Tua thread.
But if you were really sincere about wanting Tua to go to a rookie mini camp in his second season because he "missed last rookie mini-camp", why didn't you mention Jackson, Hunt, Igbinoghene, Kindley, etc.?
The truth is that Tua is not a rookie. He is the starting quarterback and despite what some want to say or the media wants to paint the picture as, he had a very normal rookie season. Actually an above average rookie season. He is working harder this offseason, probably harder than anyone on the team.
A player of Tua's caliber does not need to attend a rookie mini camp
When Marino got here...you quickly knew he was special in his very early opportunities to play.
There was no doubt...and he took over and lead them to the playoffs and was rookie of the year!
I’m giving the benefit of the doubt that Tua needed another year of rehab to show “special”.... but it begs the question of why bypass a physically superior and healthy prospect to draft one needing another full year of rehab in the first place?
