You know who else was the master of the dink and dunk manage the game don’t turn the ball over type of QB? Tom Brady. Not saying Tua is Brady but he can be. This is the type of offense Flores envisioned for this team, I’m sure with a little more scoring but that’ll happen in time with better playmaking skill players. Control the clock and don’t turn the ball over, It was The Patriots offensive trademark their glory years.

When they started getting better skill players to compliment the QB like Moss is when Brady started blowing up with the stats.

You don't draft a guy top 5 to be a dink and dunker. Tua threw a beautiful deep ball at Alabama and its part of what makes him great. He'll get there, we just need the personnel that will allow him to do so.

Not just the personnel, he needs to free his mind. Fitz did because he’s playing with house money and nothing to lose professionally. Tua just needs to stop playing scared of making a mistake

I think, at least to some extent, he is playing the way he is being coached.

I would also say that he has struggled at times, when we have fallen behind, and has been asked to do more.

He wasn't pulled against the Cards, because he was holding his own.

When we got behind in the Raider's game, the playbook opened up, and he promply started taking sacks, and going 3 and out.

Two different situations. One of which he was successful, the other, not so much. It happens with rookies.

I guess my point is that I see it differently than some others. I don't think it's merely a case of "training wheels", or "letting it fly", or the OC "handcuffing" him.

Sometimes he executes. Sometimes he doesn't. Limited weapons doesn't help, but he is what he is. A promising rookie, who isn't there yet. Will he get to the point where he's "the man"?

No way to know for sure.........
 
Ya know who else set records when Moss showed up? Tom Brady. Let's find weapons that can get open deep (and catch) if that's what ya wanna do.

Agree, but I'd add different defensive schemes (showing him something new) is a part of that. Once he gets a variety of schemes in his memory (and more weapons), I expect much better play.
 
We need play makers and good hands at the WR position. I will say this.....that while I would prefer to have Fitz there as a back up and mentor; this may be a blessing in disguise. Tua needs to get off of the Fitz nipple a little bit and show that this is indeed HIS team. Even while being the starter, there was always a sense that Fitz was right there. This is a chance for Tua to grow up a bit, win or lose.

No doubt about it.

Experience alone should easily erase many perceived shortcomings.
 
Fitz won't even travel with the team. For the first time Fitz won't be there on the sidelines to mentor Tua. Tua needs to grow up on Sunday by executing at a high level and bringing home a win and a playoff spot. It's all on him so the pressure will be great. We'll learn a great deal about our #5 pick in the draft. I hope the team rallies around him and makes a bunch of plays. I hope Gaskin can keep getting those tough yards. I hope Parker balls out. I hope Allen doesn't play!!
