Deshaun Watson or Tua

Can you add Matt Corral to that poll ? Tua is getting better every week. I’m still far from sold as numbers can be very deceiving (tons of slants and passes to flats ) but he’s doing what he has to do and we are winning. There are still a few big question marks. Most of all , the kid has proven that he is a winner. To go through what we have put him through and still go out there and play well is outstanding to see.
 
It takes more than efficiency to win superbowl. It also take big plays in big moments with arm, with legs. And that's what we need. We need more than an efficient quarterback.
Tua, for next year is okay, but after that I am not sure. I would be okay with Watson too. My answer is either.
I do not believe Tua will take us far under rookie contract, so money is not an issue.

F Matt Corral dude. Invest in building around Tua, anything else right now Is foolish. Although I do admit it would be nice to see them draft a promising developmental prospect behind him. Have a good backup to develop.
 
I wouldn’t make that deal when Tua was on the IR, I’m certainly not making it after his last three games.

There will be more bumps to come for sure, but progress is never a straight line.

Plus with a handful of Grier’s picks flashing, the argument that we’d waste those picks anyways is losing steam.

I take a good man and top 15 QB over a questionable one in the top 8 any day of the week.

Yes too many of his passes are near the LOS. Maybe just maybe that is due to necessity. Tua is developing right before our eyes.

I can never stop being a Dolphins fan, but if they toss Tua for anyone, I will not fiscally support this team in any way for awhile. No Gamepass, No merchandise, No game attendance, no network games only illegal streams.

I’m no holier than thou poster either. If Brissett was our QB, I might make that deal if the cases were resolved.

My point was that If we stick with Tua next year we will have more cap space and draft picks available to address the Oline, WR, and Running back position. So if we stuck with Tua we would have more to invest in building a decent supporting cast around him and Tua plus a better surrounding supporting cast vs Watson with what would have to be a lesser supporting cast because of his cap space hit and the draft picks it would cost to get him would make the trade skew towards Tua if one was even halfway objective.

I think Tua behind a better Oline and with a better running back and an improved WR room and another year of seasoning and experience would be better than Watson on this team with a weaker supporting cast because we would have not nearly as much ability to afford upgrades at all of those positions Because of the cost of the trade and his cap space hit. Then there is the controversy that surrounds him.

That is essentially the choice, and then when you weigh the fact that next year, he should be even better, I’m not sure what there is to even consider?

If a quarterback can move the ball consistently with slants and flats, what is wrong with that?
 
Definitely Tua. He’s shown more than enough to warrant us investing in an offense around him. He is already an adequate starter. I’d like to see him with real offensive tackles, and a real starting running back, and WRs other than Isaiah Ford and Mack Hollins and Albert Wilson surrounding Waddle.

This point is good, but I think it concedes a point that I don’t agree with: specifically, that Tua is some kind of slants and flats specialist.

Tua is currently the second most accurate deep ball thrower in the NFL. He was a gunslinger in college who threw downfield constantly. He’s made numerous bad decisions to chuck it downfield this year when he should just give up on the play.

Tua’s problem is not that he doesn’t or can’t or won’t throw deep. We do not have an offensive line that our playcallers trust to allow routes to develop downfield. The dinking and dunking is about the OL and playcallers, not Tua.
