For a guy that gets slammed for not having an arm. Tua, somehow, amongst all the starting QBs in the league made the top 5
The top 5 longest throws by air distance through Sunday from Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season, according to Next Gen Stats.

Anyone with any common sense that watched him in college should know that right there is what Tua's game is mostly about, not the mega short pass game, not the intermediate game, but the long game every time it's there.
Give Tua an O-line that gives him the time for a Waddle to leave everyone in his rearview mirror, and teams will start screaming how unfair it is.
Don't get me wrong, this is the NFL, and even if Tua had a great O-line that consistently gave him 3+ sec on most downs, he still would not find receiver open consistently deep, but when they were, Tua more times then not, would see them, and would reward them.
Tua at times not seeing open receivers, and not being able to hit a receiver streaking free deep comes more from him having to get rid of the ball quickly on almost every down, not because he can't do it.
Now of course Tua is always going to throw more short and intermediate passes in the NFL, but when it's there, he can, and he will either go deep with his so called weak arm, or use his so called unathletic legs to get a 1st or TD...
