ShoutOut To Vlogger "DougieDoWrong" For Putting Tua's First Year Into A Reasonable Perspective

[Vaark]

Doug are you one of us? I know you're not too massively followed but I usually appreciate your takes.

In this case:
Props to Tua for taking full responsibility rather than throwing poor blocking OL lines, receivers who can't get off the line of scrimmage, etc, under the bus. Shows great character

Herbert looked great but his far superior numbers are misleading as he threw several hundred more times than Tua and unlike with the Fins defense, situationally had to march down field more often and against bend but don't break defenses

Burrow: Again looked good but threw hundreds times more than did Tua; went down hard and who is to say that he will be the same once recovered

Doug is not putting these two down but providing a reasonable and justifiable reason they look like they outperformed Tua year 1. Let's see how year twol goes.

Doug, if you are a member or lurk here, if inaccurate, please correct my interpretations

I like Dougie man. He's solid imo.... He's definitely made the most out of his vlog so hats off to him.

Here’s how I put Tuas first year into perspective..

No rookie qb has ever been put in a situation like Tua was put into..

Reason why Herbert got the hype,? Well #1 he’s really good, #2 he wasnt coming off a broken hip.

I agree! I've been following him for a while. As an ex college DE he has a good perspective in analyzing the trenches. And as a diehard Phins fan in New Jersey he has plenty of adversity. Hes enjoyable to listen to.

I don't get why people seemed shocked to hear he wasn't as comfortable or didn't know the playbook as well as he would have liked to. Have people forgotten there was no training camp, otas or preseason. Damn, lets just move the draft to a few weeks before the season openner and give players two weeks to get ready for the first game.

Shhhh.....What you're saying is a very reasonable answer. But you know! Alot expected him even with all that and what he was personally dealing with to come in and be just as sharp as a multiple years plus and multiple offense including one he's playing under Gailey system in R. Fitzpatrick. Every rookie now is expected to come in day 1 and light the league on fire or else you get talked about as possibly not being good. YEAR ONE! Either you're top 10 in the NFL or seriously considered a BUST...YEAR ONE!

The expectations were/are ridiculious!

That, plus people tend to remember QBs who do quite well their rookie year, and assume that's the 'norm.'

Remember they had "Sam-tastic" in N.Y., along with "Wentzlvainia" in Philly, and "Trubearski" in chicago.

First year success doesn't guarantee greatness.
