You keep saying Tua should be as good as Herbert because he has weapons. Tua just played better against NE than Herbert has in either of his starts against them. So Tua played better than Herbert against a common opponent. Which is a fact. But your post makes it sound like you are saying the opposite. So it’s nonsense. And it doesn’t make any sense. Am I missing something?
No. I'm not saying that at all. One of the big excuses for Tua up u til this point was that he had no weapons, no running game and no support from his coach. Now he has all that and he still only threw for one TD. And o line, as bad as it is can't be an excuse anymore. Herbert had just as bad an o line his rookie year and last year they didn't improve much. So the playing field is even now. Yesterday Herbeet threw for three TDs. Tua threw one. So now that the playing field is even with talent around him, what will be the excuse now if he doesn't get better. Personally I thought Tua played bad for Tuas standards even. I've seen him play better, be more accurate and have better pocket presence. He didn't have much of any of that yesterday. It's one game sure, but it's more of the same with him. Hopefully it gets bettee
And you expected much more in 1 start? When the HC is messing up getting plays in and Tua is having to improvise and call plays on the fly?
Yeah I heard that today. That's why I said, hopefully there is improvement. My favorite statement from coach today is the first game played should be the worst, because you expect to get better every game. I have faith in this coach so I'm hoping that is the case
Ya I enjoyed hearing that part...'cuz I was already of the same mind.
And he wants it fully guaranteed.
Well considering Herbert has only completed 50% of his passes and laid a goose egg on the scoreboard against them in the past I think Tua is more than showing improvement.
They did tweak it….immediately. It was first released in 2011, tweaked in 2012 and then in 2013. Each play is based on that single play in and of itself. So that criticism was very outdated and not based on how it has been figured for ten years.
Oh yeah, saw that in real time. I get they both may have been fighting, but I thought he had an arm bar going on, lol I will take it though, as will Holland I saw.
