Anxious for our game tomorrow with Seattle, my mind wanders anything football. Prior to the draft, I had some reservations about Tua. His ability to remain healthy after his hip injury and coming from such a prolific Alabama Program. Since the draft, this young man has been nothing but impressive, skills (with the limited viewing) and his leadership/maturity.

With today's impressive performance by Matt Jones of Alabama, some pre-draft thoughts of Tua being a system QB have resurfaced. Again, just a slow Dolphins day and waiting for kick-off tomorrow.
 
How about how the first two receivers off the board were Alabama receivers, taken in the first half of the first round?

Or how about there are two more Alabama receivers projected to go in the first round next year?
 
I don’t understand these threads. Is Joe Burrow a system QB as well because of the way Myles Brennan has played so far?

Watch the QB, watch their mechanics, watch their hyper accuracy, watch the touch, watch their leadership, watch their awareness....etc.

Both Burrow and Tua have all those traits. They may have had great players on their college team, but they also have the traits of what a great QB needs to survive in the NFL.

Drafting Alabama wide receivers in the 1st round ain’t a bad idea. Seems like somebody around here mentioned that

It baffles me how you never see these kinda threads when it’s Choklahoma QB’s. Or Clemson. Or Ohio St.

If Miami wanted Bama’s system they could’ve hired Steve Sarkisian after he left the Falcons. Or Brian Daboll who left Bama and went to the Bills to coach Josh Allen.

Mac Jones ain’t no slob.

You don't understand the mind's propensity for analyzation and speculation, even when the exercise is purely academic?

That is, basically, how humans have developed things since before civilization, and recorded history.

This, plus a willingness to listen to others differing inputs, without prejudice, have served homo sapiens sapiens quite well over the course of uncounted millennia.

If you are trying to say you don't have interest in, or see the value of this particular debate, that's understandable.

I do find it to be interesting, and entertaining, when coupled with known posting history of individuals, as it relates to the study of human nature.

Fascinating really.....

I am anxious to see Tua play and hope he lives up to the hype he has gotten here. I had several reservations about him prior to the draft and was quite vocal about it. Now that we have drafted him, I am hopeful that any reservations I had will be proven wrong.

The good news is that so far the other two QB's drafted high last year have played pretty well. Herbert has looked pretty good so far for a rookie starter, and Burrow looks like he can play if the OL can figure out how to protect him.. If Tua is/was a superior QB to both as has been suggested, that can only bode well for how he is likely to perform.
 
There will be questions regarding Tua’s hip and if the system at Alabama and all the great talent around him made him appear to be a great QB. Until he actually gets into games and shows his ability at the NFL level, no one really knows if he will or won’t have success in the NFL. Personally I think that as long as his hip holds up Tua will be a dynamic QB for the Dolphins but that is just my opinion. While I am in no rush to insert him into the starting lineup until the coaching staff feels he is ready to assume the starting QB position. The reality is he is the most hyped player ever drafted by the a Dolphin organization coming out of college and being just a good NFL QB will not enough considering all the expectations Dolphin fans have that he will be the next great QB for the Dolphins.
 
Maybe Alabama has a great system/players and also Tua is a great QB?
Why can't it be both? Every great QB no matter how great he is will need help. They can't throw and then go out and catch it too. Time will tell how good Tua is and I can't wait to see it.

Yep, the OP makes no sense in this post at all. Guess he just wanted to start his own yet ANOTHER Tua thread
