I can say with a straight face that Herbert is extremely overrated based on his inability to win the amount of games the production should suggest he's winning, but don't take that as any kind of ignoring of the fact that I'm one of the biggest critics of Miami's long-term strategy from 2019 on.I wanted Tua but that pick will haunt this franchise for years.
Herbert, Jefferson, Taylor.
Tua, Jackson, Igbinoghene.
Oh my. Loved the following draft but that **** is unforgivable and truly franchise crippling.
The fact that this team got rid of any pretension of an offensive line in order to, officially or unofficially, tank for a guy who was going to come from a team with the most lopsided talent-to-opponent ration in all of CFB - I mean you don't have to be that smart to see that putting a QB coming from Alabama on a team that had not a single returning linemen was one of the most foolish courses of action I could imagine. Never liked the Tunsil trade, never liked the obvious fixation on Tua, never liked the handling of Tua in 2020...a bigger detractor of the Jackson pick than most and everyone things Igby sucks.
Difference is I don't hold my disappointment at the organization's poor decisions against Tua, I don't have unrealistic expectations for what he can accomplish and don't blame him for every failing on a team that's had historically bad weaknesses and a defense that dominates 3rd stringers but fails to show up versus quality opponents.
