Can you all imagine the amount of crow that everybody will have to eat either way, regarding Tua?! I love the kid and his talent. But if you came to me and made me put my job on the line, I say no. I do not think this young mans body will hold up to the type of abuse NFL players have to go through. I think he is a tremendous talent and person, but I see him lasting 3 seasons top (if playing). I am going to look up recipes just in case :p
 
Any team taking Tua top 10 would, I believe, have to have the owners blessing, or who knows, maybe the owners insistence.

I think if it were up to the GM alone, it's a big risk, not only to the future of the team, but also to the future of the GM himself.
 
I wouldn't draft him at all,
but if he drops to 18 that would mitigate the risk to some degree &
bring incredible coverage & attention to the Dolphins - read more arses in D seats ;)
 
That is a good point tcdrover. It would also add unwanted distraction. Fans chanting put in Tua. I do not like my decisions second guessed at work and I would certainly fire anybody chanting for me to do something else. It does not have to get ugly. Either way a bunch of us will be wrong. I have been wrong plenty of times and can accept that.
 
I am deferring to management on this one. I say take him at 5 if you think he'll be gone by next pick (i do) if they love him. Conversely, if they don't want him I understand the pass. I believe you have to take shots as we have swung and missed way too much and the way we are stacked I think we can take a chance on Tua or someone else they may have fell in love with.
 
I don’t think the fan reaction and/or opinion about anything the team does means anything to Flores and our FO. They went out and did their job each week with zero regards to the outside noise. If they want to take Tua at 5 they will. If they want to trade up or down to select a different QB they will. If they want to draft Tua, sit him all of 2020 and play Fitz/Rosen they will. When the day is done they will do what they believe puts the team in the best position to win.
 
Build this draft, take Trevor next year what ever it takes. I go to all the Clemson games so yes orange colored glasses but that dude balls.

Click to expand...

And what makes you think that a team that gets the No. 1 pick next year will let Miami trade up to get Trevor?
 
Any player can get hurt on any play at any time.
 
I've eaten my fair share, crow doesn't taste too bad when youv'e eaten enough...joy of being a Phinfan
 
True, not sure that happens and there are much smarter people on here than me but i feel like a lot of the most desperate qb teams will have taken one between the last two years. If the fins believe Tua is healthy I believe he is a great option. Just saying 2 ankles and a hip makes me nervous and don't believe we are a qb away this year. As I said orange colored glasses but that cat can throw hash to hash and can move as well. I believe better than luck. 10 years of great qb play but it takes all assets and of course health. That's why i believe build the team and put the best qb you can at that point in place.
 
And this is difficult to say as a #4 fan but think the upside is a good bit better in my bourbon drinking state. Again i would have deshaun's kids so theres that.
