Gotta see what Ewers can do. No point in starting Tua any longer.

This organization can kiss my a$$. They have no right to have buyers remorse in this situation due to injuries. They were borderline incompetent and negligent with fielding a freaking O line.
If you sign a QB to franchise QB money, yet worry about his concussions. Common sense says you BUILD A FU$#ING O line. They have zero/zilch/ nada no reason to have buyers remorse. They caused the problem.
I think one caveat to your point, which I mainly agree with you about, is that Tua has injured himself more than the OL has gotten him injured. Now, we can talk about how the OL dictates an offense with unusually high snap to pass times because they are worried about Tua getting hit. The bad OL has pigeonholed McD into a handful of workable plays. That’s a point that should be talked about more.
If teams are coveting Dolphin players its a good thing for draft pick returns on trades.
You are correct. On the injuries, it wasn't necessarily the O line on that specific play. However, the argument I make is the O lines piss poor play, caused Tua to wanna play hero ball and do too much. His injuries didn't come when they were winning. They came when they were losing, the line was playing like crap and Tua HAD to make a play.
So indirectly, I absolutely attribute the Line play to his injuries. If the lines playing solid, blocking good, run game working, Tua doesn't and didn't play hero ball.
What makes Josh Allen and Mahommes heroes, makes Tua injury prone unfortunately. The constant criticism if he slid "too soon" was very real
