Yup , I believe it is ridiculous that some want to give Grier even more time. How many years does a GM need to build a contending team? 7 years isn't enough I guess. Let's give him another decade.
In your opinion...what motivated the Tua extension?
- Thread starter Mello Yello
- Start date

Fear of not having a good QB. That's all it comes down to in the NFL.
Any QB that shows the possibility of being top half gets the full paycheck.

Do any of the roster moves seem like a coach and gm that feel they are on the hot seat? I think your kidding yourself if you think yes.
Not to mention Tua’s contract is guaranteed through 2026 meaning he’ll be here regardless barring a career ending injury. You probably aren’t bringing in another head coach or gm when you really can’t move off of Tua. All three will be here come 2026. It was Ross and Grier that wanted to bring in Brady, it was Ross and Grier that wanted to tank for Tua, it was Grier that Ross picked in the battle vs Flores’s. It is Grier that is still here after letdown. Seems the relationship is extremely connected, close and appears to still be along with another plan which is why we’ve seen lack of urgency. Not that I’m saying that’s necessarily the right move but it’s pretty evident that appears to be the case.

Allen can’t win on the road in the playoffs (0-4) and Lamar has been absolutely horrific in the postseason up until his 5th season.
And Tua haters love to bash him due to his play in his first playoff game in KC in -20F weather and couch scrubs for a defense. The same KC team that went on to beat the Bills (in Buffalo) and the Ravens (in Baltimore) before beating the 49ers in the SB.
Allen had an 84 PR (10th playoff game in his career) against that KC team in 50 degree warmer weather in Buffalo.
Jackson had a 74 PR (5th playoff game) in 70 degree warmer weather in Baltimore.
Purdy had an 89 PR (6th postseason game)
All three teams were relatively healthy.
They can certainly move on from Tua in 2026 if the new GM wants to do so. They can free up more than enough cap space after cutting Tua to field a team that can get them a top 5 pick in 2027. Heck if they can find a team that will take on Tua's contract then they would gain cap space by trading him. If the goal is to do a true reset in 2026, not this nonsense you are talking about this year, this would put them in position to draft a top QB prospect. At least that would show the team is trying to change paths. It would also get much of the fanbase excited about the future of the team. Some people are tired of the mediocrity and what appears to be the current goal of hoping the team can sneak into the playoffs. If after 7 years of a "rebuild" the team still can't even win a playoff game then IMO that "rebuild" has been a failure.
Ross keeping them all into 2026, if they fail again in 2025 would just prove to the fans as well as the rest of the NFL that Ross is not serious about building a team that can contend for a Super Bowl. It would also prove that Ross does not hold his employees accountable. It would basically prove to everyone who works for the team, including the players, that failure and losing is acceptable.

Lol... wow... very very stupid post
Allen and Jackson have been to conference championships. Purdy has been to a Super Bowl. Sure they may have had better surrounding casts or healthier teams than Tua. So not going to blame all of the failures of the team on Tua.
However, I am not going to focus on Allen & Jackson failing to make it to a Super Bowl when the Dolphins can't even win a playoff game. I can't bash Allen for anything , as much as I would love to, since he's owned the Dolphins every year he's been in the league. Until the Dolphins start beating the Bills on a consistent basis, I am not going to sit here talking ish about them.
I will say it does sucks that every year come playoff time the only thing I usually have to root for is for someone to knock the Bills out. That has become tiresome as it did doing so with the Patriots for over 2 decades. I would love to be able to see the Dolphins fighting their way towards the Super Bowl while Bills, Patriots & Jets fans get pissed.

I stand by my post.Your post doesn't really speak to anything I posted.
Your posts all seem to want to be humorous.
I don't mind the wisecracks, it's who you are.
If you disagree with my thought process, bring in yours, and we can debate or concede.
My post shows a timeline of events toward an answer to the OP.
Your post cherry-picks mine and offers insults and ridicule towards another fan.
You can do better.
Show me a single player who has sat out the 5th year - I don’t need to narrow it down like you to QB. Show me a single player who sat.
I’ll refrain from addressing your personal attacks. I really don’t need to prove anything about business acumen to some random internet person. And I certainly won’t engage.
He does sound like a woman, you’re right.I didn’t even know you two were dating.But you do argue like a long-term couple.
No judgements on gender roles. Just comedy. lol. Something we could use more of.
This is exactly how this board was the last 3 years of Tannehill. It’s crazy

I think Tua is a top 5 qb in the league. I don’t think the system matters much at all. I know the concussions are a huge deal. He showed elite traits even under Flores. I know many of you will disagree but that is my stance.
My stance isn’t on the player and more on the topic of the thread…
Why did we give him the extension a year earlier than we needed to? Did we get a discount because of it? No
Did he show us 4 years of good data to confirm this was a no brainer? No
Im a fan of the player… but the concussions and availability IS a factor.
The irony of @MARINO1384 talking nonsense about business acumen not understanding that the move made was the wrong business move. You dont extend someone a year early if you’re not getting some big win in the situation. What was the win? We got an early out?
If we made him play on his 5th year *and he crushed it* he would have signed the same size contract.
And if didn’t crush it? Like how it actually was? We could have resigned him for half the money and it would be a value deal and we would have money for OL, CB, etc.
