Absolutely no. Russell's a "me first" sanctimonious turd who has the ability to infect team culture. Keep him away from Tua. There is a reason why Denver are taking a massive $38M dead cap hit this season and next as well, just to get rid of him (and they don't have a QB to replace him). Yes, he'd come cheap and he has a big chip on his shoulder, but letting Russell in the building would smash the good team culture of last season in 10 seconds. I doubt that Mike McDaniel could put up with him.
Oh OK. That's settles it then. andyahs has spoken
Wilson isn’t anywhere close to the QB Tua is. Pennix has had twice the injuries Tua has had and I don’t see him as anything but a backup QB in the NFL.
Tua is going to be the Dolphins starting QB for the next 10 years and the anti Tua crowd can either accept it or just root for another team.
Ray - I always enjoy your comments but we agree to disagree on bringing Russell Wilson in as a backup. Russ will never ever see himself as a backup. Last week he was talking about winning another 2 Super Bowls before he retires. His ego is off the chart and even bringing him in as a backup, he would do everything he could to undermine Tua, all day everyday. It would immediately result in a QB controversy (he knows how to fuel the media) and Mike McDaniel wouldn't be able to contain it.This is what can happen when you start making huge contracts. Very, very few players are that good for a long, increasing contract. (let's say 5 years).
I would not hesitate to bring him in as a backup at a fair rate, ie. less than $4.5 million a year for a two-year deal.
Not for me...Trade Tua, free up the 20m. Move up for Pennix and sign Russel for a year. Works for me.
I thought I he "barked" as if up the wrong tree
Blah blah bluh, say something? Ah I see, same old Tua dribble.Been saying it all day.
Perfect 1 year rental to get the young QB in here to groom, trade Tua, and keep Wilkins.
Russ was not the reason Denver was mediocre...
We will not win a SB with Tua on the big contract, he cannit hide various roster deficiencies like a Mahomes.
Tua either needs to take less or be dealt, end of discussion.
That is because you are unable to understand a class act. The fruit don't fall far.That behavior alone should have spoke volumes to Dolphins management and set the wheels in motion to acquire a new QB.
QB's are hard to come by and yet 2 teams couldn't wait to get rid of him for a reason.
