Tua must be throwing dimes in practice. What else can you do but put him in the game. Watch him throw more dimes and then say ok put him in there after bye week. Not rocket science.

And his ability to keep plays alive and keep the D honest.I'm not sure about dimes. But i think you have to give Flo/Grier some credit. Flo isn't the type of coach that will put Tua out there considering everything if something wasn't there.
He and co. had to have seen something to feel comfortable enough to bench Fitz in favor of Tua.
Hopefully it translates right away!
I'm sure likely everyone else where excited to see what this kid can do.
The only thing i'm looking for are those types of throws that Fitz can't or rarely makes.
And his ability to keep plays alive and keep the D honest.
The one thing that i'm not sure he has an edge over Fitzpatrick in and seems to be necessary in today NFL is the ability to create plays with his feet.
Sometimes everthing is covered and you have to get out of there and gain needed yards with your feet.
Fitz is pretty good at doing that and you rarely thought about him ever getting hurt.
Can you or I say the same thing honestly about Tua?
Personally, I don't ever want to see him scramble unless it something obvious.
Fitz makes plays with his feet when everything is covered, and by everything, I mean 1st read... This is the polar opposite of Tua's game...Sometimes everthing is covered and you have to get out of there and gain needed yards with your feet.

That is incorrect.You're right he seemed pissed. It seemed to be about the way the news broke. He clearly did not want Tua to be announced as the starter like this. None of the players knew this change was going to happen including Tua nor Fitzpatrick.
People see what they want to see but there was zero reason for a tight lipped FO to leak anything same for TuaThat is incorrect.
He told Tua and Fitzpatrick Tuesday morning.
Before he could tell the rest of the team, someone leaked the information to Shefter.
I'd be pissed too. What do you do next time? Tell everyone at the same time? Tell the affected player(s) one minute before you tell the rest of the team (and confiscate their ****ing phones)?
I can't fault Flores for the way this was handled at all.People see what they want to see but there was zero reason for a tight lipped FO to leak anything same for Tua
But Fitz could have been the one who leaked it.People see what they want to see but there was zero reason for a tight lipped FO to leak anything same for Tua
The reason that game was moved to SNF was to make sure there was a game on that night in case the Bucs/Raiders game has to be postponed due to all the positive COVID cases on the Raiders. I think if they were going to move the Rams-Dolphins game to SNF they would have had to announce it already.Just saw this weeks Seahawks-Cardinals was flexed to Sunday night. Wonder if there is a chance our game against Rams gets flexed to Sunday night. The Sunday nighter that week is Cowboys-Eagles. I bet there is a chance we get the switch for Tua-Goff.
