I love how people say he's very limited or that's not his style. I mean look at that highlight clip right there of his deep pass for bama. That was about a 50 yard pass, but was put on a rope with accuracy despite 50 yards out. Not some duck floater. If he had that issue previous seasons, it wasn't because he lacked the physical ability. But the hip injury might have affected him. He seems healthier than ever, so with more time to pass with better protection hopefully, plus run game and wrs. So with all that and him healthier, I feel you might see tua able to launch deep passes more like he did at bama. I don't expect it to happen a ton because of mcdaniels heavy running game style, but I think you'll see more deep passes
 
The issue is that most people didn't watch the Alabama tape (pre hip injury). Like that Bama throw at 2:57 was great ....what they DID watch and harp on is the pass at 1:47 against the Jets where the WR had to stop and spin around because of the under throw.

Yeah that was a great 50 yard pass but could he do that in a pressure situation?

What if it were a situation like it’s overtime in the National Championship game, his team is trailing, and it’s 2nd and 28, could he throw that then?

Pro. Even confirms that it's difficult to throw downfield with the 30th ranked pass protection.

This is a factor that the mainstream either isn’t aware of or selectively chooses to ignore. I’m talking mainstream media, including former player analysts. Because I’ve hardly heard it mentioned when they overly critique Tua.

Nice to hear RG3 acknowledge it as a huge factor. As a former QB, he seems to get it more than others.

I’ve pointed to that throw to win the Nat’l title game many, many times. It was an absolute laser. 50+ yards on a line. Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes nor Justin Herbert could have thrown it better.

While Tua hasn’t had the full body strength yet to make that same throw post-injury, he’s getting much closer to it if he’s not all the way back yet.

The video Hill posted yesterday was the best Tua has looked since his Alabama days.

If he can look like that in the actual games, Tua will be fine. It's the oline that has my full attention now.
