National Weather Service Miami - forecast for Hard Rock Stadium
The last two weeks, I predicted Miami would win regardless of who started at QB. I'm not predicting that this week. Our D is good, but unless we create several turnovers, we're not winning with Tua at QB. The kid may be good eventually, but I don't see it happening this year; he's just not adapting to the NFL yet.
I've never turned off a Dolphins game early. It may have something to do with not having the Sunday Ticket for most of my life. (It didn't exist, or you couldn't be a renter for the longest time) If I were able to watch every Dolphins game for the last forty years, then maybe I'd feel entitled enough to turn off games that seemed out of reach.Can’t wait till tomorrow! I just hope it’s an entertaining game. Hope it’s not one of those where we turn off the game at half lol.

The game hasn't slowed down for him yet, IMO. His timing isn't honed yet. Many passes haven't shown the same accuracy he showed at Bama. To be expected from a rookie with only 5 starts, not worried about it going forward...he'll get there.What is adapting in your opinion? Truly curious. As I see it it’s 5 games...1 stinker for sure, 1 that’s a wash because the defense and special teams dominated, and 3 good to great games. The final score isn’t soley dictated by the quarterback sometimes it’s play calls sometimes it’s lack of execution by the offensive line etc.
I will say that if people think it’s solely a statistical thing rather than showing mastery over an offense ability to adapt to changing game plans given game situation or the ability to just suck up and lead the team when you need to like he did in 3 games.....game wining drive in Arizona, clutch drives to put the game away vs the Chargers and a dominant 2nd half carrying the team vs Cinci. Dude is more than adapted he is about to blast off.
