I’m surprised that you think Tua took over the games you listed.
He was pretty bad against KC. It’s funny how garbage time stats make it look a little better though. Going into the 4th quarter he was down by 3 scores and had 150 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT and was around 58% passing.
Against NE, he had 145 yards, 0 TD and 1 INT.
Arizona was definitely his best game, in my opinion.
What would concern me, if I were you, is that he seemed to get worse as the year went on. Not better.
In his first 5 games, he had 7 TD’s and 0 INT. In his last 4 games, he had 4 TD’s and 5 INT. Typically you want your rookie to look better as he gets more experience, not worse. I’m not trying to pile on, so I apolgoize if it sounds bad, but that Buffalo game... It was some of the worst quarterbacking i’ve ever seen.
I was high on Miami taking a QB with a top 10 pick. I think they made a big mistake in not doing so. I think Tua is plenty smart and a good kid, but I just don’t see “it” / that special thing good QB’s have / when I watch him.
