IMO it was simply a poor situation for him. I saw the Denver and Raider's games as games where we came in expecting certain defensive looks and got different ones. We struggled to run and pass. Those teams just seemed to know what we were going to do. You can overcome that bad preparation with good adjustments and an experienced QB and receiving group, but not with an inexperienced QB and receiving group and a system that doesn't allow your QB to check out of bad calls. In college Tua showed that he had some pretty natural instincts, kind of what you saw with Marino early on. But those instincts can only show themselves if the QB is given enough latitude and trust.and yet we will never know what Tua may have done against the Broncos after Flores pulled him. I know he wasnt playing well, But I was really wanting to see how he played in crunch time. That was one of the reasons why I disagreed with Flores benching Tua in those late games. Tua needed the NFL experience of close game crunch time. And he may have excelled in those moments. If Flores wanted Tua to start and get experience then he needs the FULL experience.
