Last year when Tua stepped in, he was walking into a winning streak with a dominate defence. He was basically told to not f*** things up, manage the game, the defence will carry this team. This of course can make a player timid and hesitant. This year Tua is walking into a 1-4 team (4 straight losses) with a defence thats being torched. Not only do I see the coaches opening up the playbook for Tua but the pressure on Tua from "dont mess this up" (restrictive energy) to "go get us back in this" (liberating energy) would be alleviating.

Also of course it helps that he will play the Jags and Atlanta his first 2 games back as well.
 
Are we even sure Tua is back after Tampa? I'm not sure we can just "open up the playbook" without getting him killed. Let's not forget about this line situation. I'm sure the Jags and ATL see us on the schedule and wanna open up their playbooks too.

It couldn’t hurt but
Let’s be real we are the Jags and Atlanta right now. They are thinking along the same lines, we have the Dolphins

He wont make a difference. The majority of the fanbase do not have the patience to wait for him to develop into Drew Brees 2.0. Being drafted top 5.. he will always be compared to Herbert, if he is anything less by end of year 2.. he won't make it here in Miami. The decision making of management is now magnified.. multiple 1st round picks, still no real QB and OL.

I have no doubt the kid can sling the ball. I've seen the kid make certain types of throws that honest are rare. But it's clear this kid needs protection, as do most QBs, to really shine.

Between the OC and OL coach i'm not sure we have enough there to balance protection, creativity, and personnell in the trenches vs. at the skill position to maxmize on what Tua can do.

There's a reason why a certain popular draft guy here wants Tua to go to the Saints.

I have no doubt Tua will be an excellent QB in the NFL. I expect him to win a SB as a starting QB. Unfortunately the Dolphins will likely end up trading him because they will view him as the problem and not the the OL and the offensive coaches. They will trade for a veteran QB who will come in and have no more success behind the Dolphins amateur OL and with the worst offensive staff in the NFL.

‘’’Tua will go to his next team and have a great career and posters on here will be asking why they traded him in the first place. Once he is traded I will have two favorite teams in the NFL. Because I will root for Tua, no matter which team he ends up playing for.

People always say Fitz had Miami on a winning streak when Tua took over last season, the team was 3-3. They had a nice win against the 49ers, but the other two wins were against the Jets and Jags, two teams that would go on to combine for a 3-29 record. I'm prety sure even Brissett would have led the team to wins against the 2020 Jags and Jets.

Sounds a lot like the Browns!

How did that work out for them? - LOL
 
As long as he gets more than 1.5 seconds to throw the ball, I expect good things.

Brissett is not Fitzpatrick, which also helps Tua as far as fans evaluations are concerned.

I'm not doubting you and i'm not doubting the kid. I'm just certain the kid has more than what he's been able to show during his short time here so far. If he and this F.O. survive this year and offseason period then I don't know how they don't take all that money supposedly they will have and get the best protection up front they can buy.
