No more excuses for Tua now.

He’s going into year 3 and he is the undisputed starter. He has two studs at WR and new talent on the offense.

It’s put up or shut up time for Tua.

PS, great trade. You guys really fleeced KC in my opinion. #29 overall is practically a 2nd round pick. Absolutely awesome job by Miami.

I don’t recall Tua ever making any excuses.
 
I expect Tua to make the leap, but as I said in another thread, even if he stays where he was last year (less risky game manager type), the team still makes a serious run at the Super Bowl. Of course, that might be the worst possible thing because we wouldn't know exactly where we stand come January...do we extend our good-but-not-great QB or do we cut bait and hope for the best?
 
I remain very concerned about the OL, as Terron Armstead does not have the best history of availability and is on the downside of his career. I think he's actually the key to the offense. Team needs him to play up to his contract.

Still want to see Miami add Trotter at C or draft one.. But Coach McD is actually trying to help Tua unlike flores so that's a good sign. Bring on the draft!

You have someone particular in mind late day 2? (because we apparently have a third round pick of which I wasn't aware)

IMO that is why 1st round picks include 5th year options in their rookie contracts. We have an extra season of flexibility before we need to commit to a long term extension.
 
I believe McDaniels is making these plays exactly for this reason. If Tua doesn’t look like a top half QB by year end then at least next year we can take a shot at another QB early.

That’s a good thought. Could be.

That was my first thought, and in some ways it seems like the coaching staff isn’t expecting Tua to be elite because these contracts are going to make it difficult to extend Tua in the next year or two if he plays at an elite level. It almost looks like they’re banking on having a rookie contract for at least 5 more years
