It’s a fair question, but I don’t agree with you that there was some special change in coverage tendencies over the last 5 games that didn’t exist in the first 8.You crack me up. Stats are dropped by poster like you whenever they fit your narrative, but even though they are all facts, they do not tell the whole story. The point I was making was that Tua has to improve on reading defense. You make it seem as though Sherfield was being malicious when he was just explaining how the two offenses are similar. I am not going to use this post to bash Tua, but I would like to know why his completion rate decreased so dramatically over his last four games, and we can't include the Packers game because he suffered a concussion. He played well against Buffalo, but they played zone, so Waddle had a field day and I admit he dropped a few passes.
We are dealing with 2 different quarterbacks here compared to his first 8 games. In terms of Hill saying Tua is the most accurate passer, I don't see how he can say that when he's never played with him at that time, it's ridiculous. As far as Hill is concerned, he is amazing, but I also wonder about his character. First, he complained that KC didn't use him properly, but that comment is puzzling because Hill had a career-high in targets and yards in 2021, making it baffling as to why he said that. The part that hurts me the most is that they traded him and KC won the Super Bowl, so it makes me wonder what was really going on over there in KC at the time. In spite of this, I believe that he was trying to be a good teammate. Here is my question for you why the sudden drop in completion and his worst game was against back ups. Common theme was man bump coverage to disrupt the timing and from what we can see it worked. How does he adjust to this.

He repeatedly torched man coverage early in the season. Going into the Chargers game, Tua led the entire NFL in QBR, passer rating, yards per attempt, and completion percentage against man coverage.
The Chargers game was terrible. I don’t think there’s any secret sauce to it. He just played badly. It was one game.
He then played very well against the Bills (with two touchdown passes dropped), and he absolutely torched the Packers until he literally got concussed, at which point he started throwing terrible picks against zone coverage—not man.
People acting like something changed at the end of the season are barking up the wrong tree. Tua was generally the same guy all year. He just played a dogshit game against the Chargers and got concussed against the Packers. Everything else was well within normal range of game to game fluctuation for an elite QB.
