"Very impressed on his ball placement," said Peterson. "The way he was able to sit in the pocket sometimes, where he was able to move around and also convert some very, very important third downs in some of those key drives for his offense.

Peterson was the first player right after the game to congratulate Tua. In that podcast they were specifically breaking down that 3rd and 9 completion to Parker when the Dolphins were backed up late in the
third quarter. Peterson said that he read the route combos on that play and jumped it expecting to get the int , but Tua beat him with the ball placement.
 
Dude has always been class. That key 93 yard drive the 3rd down play he was driving on that ball and it was out of Tua’s hand before Parker even broke out of his climb. And placed where Peterson just had to watch it be completed.

Not hard to see moments to understand how special he can be and I can dig the respect from an all pro guy who stands up for himself.

From what I've heard out of Tua I believe if PP had gotten the INT, Tua would have said how impressed he was with Peterson. Like EJay said, Good ones recognize the other good ones.

he picks that he probably would have walked in for 6

But ball placement trumped there

The saying goes “football is a game of inches”.

Or as Al Pacino once said:

“You find out life’s this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small -- I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us.”

Tua‘s ball placement made Patrick Peterson one-half second too slow. And he didn’t quite make it. ;)
 
Peterson is a smart guy always been a fan of his since LSU days and he's from Pompano

He threw it before Parker made his full break back

We aren’t used to that mastery around here
