If YOU want to win this game

[mwestberry]

Do you take advantage of the Seahawks secondary issues and start Tua ...

and with the 49ers on deck next does Tua give you a better chance of winning knowing the niners defense will probably shut down the run and the TE's

Just curious if anyone thinks getting him in now would be a wise move or, given the overall of our team, is it better to roll with Fitz?

NO homerism here ... not trolling lol ... just want to know what you think from a trying to win POV

id Love to see him start but there would be too much pressure on him with the Hawks game. I’d play him if we’re losing or winning comfortably in the 4th.

Tua has missed practice this week because of illness. Fitzpatrick played very well against the Jags and I don’t think Flores or Gailey are in any rush to get a Tua into the starting @B position. I don’t see Tua starting until the latter half of the season at the earliest. So no, I don’t think that the a Dolphins coaching staff have any desire to start Tua against the Seahawks or the 49ers.

To much preessure on him? Tua was brought into the National Championship Game as a backup as a freshman to try and get the offense going. Which sounds like a ton of pressure. How did he handle that pressure? He threw the game winning TD pass. Pressure is not an obstacle for Tua. Especially in the 4th game of the season

Huge difference between college and pros. This isn’t you and your buddies in high school

I think the fins will keep it close, but i will give Tua about 6 plays regardless of score he needs to see the every single week.

 

[Kebo]

If healthy, I’d start Tua. If not, no

 

[VCU2000]

Don't think he's ready to start after missing practice this week. Hoping he's ready to go Sunday if something happens to Fitz. Our offense has played well the last two weeks. He will get his shot.

I think making the assumption that Tua gives you a better chance to win is a huge leap of faith. In fact, I believe the opposite is more likely.

That defense is ripe for picking. I would argue reads and progressions are needed more than hero ball and raw talent.

This would be the wrong week to insert Tua. I say that only because he was sick with a fever most of the week and got no reps to prepare him for the game. He is a rookie and that's a bad recipe for a victory. He needs a full week of taking all the first team reps to give him the best chance to succeed. Think what it would be like if Tua went in and it was clear he wasn't ready. Would we clamor for Fitz? We need Tua to step in a be successful. There must be a running game that is generating some movement and some good down and distance situations. The o-line has to give Tua time to throw. With a running game and some pass blocking that I'm comfortable with I'd put Tua in there. I don't know if we are there yet and I don't know if Tua is ready regarding command of the offense but he's got to get his feet wet pretty soon, maybe the 49ers. Maybe this Sunday if Fitz gets shaken up.

I don't like that mentality (not bagging on your post my friend). If you do that, there's always pressure. You throw him in there when he's ready if that's Seattle then do it. I want to see our shiny new toy in action and I'm behind Flores for whenever he wants to do it.

TT will NOT start against SEA and likely not against SF. That's how I read Flo. As others have said, when
a) RF starts playing poorly (by Flo's standards) and loses confidence of the team, and/or
b) RF gets injured, and/or
c) Flo has a specific date to start TT
Other than that, nope

I don't think "pressure" is a deciding factor. If RF gets injured, TT goes in, pressure or not. OTOH, I WOULD like to see TT go in for a series or two for couple of games to get those '1st snap' jitters behind him.

Leave Tua on the bench to learn from Fitzmagic!!!! The speed of the game and the defenses are far more advanced than he's ever experienced before. Let him heal and learn. When we have more weapons and an O-Line that's stable and cohesive then the Fins will let him loose. In the meantime Fitsy is the way to go.
