I think most of the criticism lobbed at Tua is because the casual fan only, ever, watches QB's on their favorite college team and pro teams (even you Canucks) watches them throw right handed. There is something a little surreal about a left handed QB, and the brain tricks one into all sorts of mental gymnastics which, inevitably, get on message boards or spoken by TV blowhards about Tua. So, I saw this video of Miami in which the screen is reversed and Tua is throwing right handed. Like T.Hill says, Tua's balls are beautiful.

 
That's mind boggling.

Not gonna lie, I love it. As a big fan of the QB position, lefties aren't my cup of tea.

I am used to it now but that's some freaky stuff to watch.
 
I do believe that much of the criticism, particularly from those who use nothing more than "the eye test", is the result of him throwing left-handed. It makes things look a little off to some and they use that as a jumping off point to create justifications for why they believe he isn't good.
 
I can believe how different it appear to look the throws this way, with more tight spiral and more velocity, mind blowing.:NUTS:

What software did you use to mirror this? I have some old game film that have part of the game with the film reversed like that because someone didn't rewind it after viewing it. I paid to have the film put on vhs and was hoping to fix it and go digital with it.

Tua is actually right handed anyway. The only thing he does left is throw a football.

Mirroring that video is neat.

Exactly. His father is left handed and he wanted his son to convert from throwing right handed to left handed when he started throwing a ball at a young age. I’ve often wondered if he was forced to make a throw right handed, how far he could throw it and how accurate the pass would be.

IDK. I am sure he could learn to throw righty but at this point it would be hard.
 
My Science teacher in high school was raised in Cuba in the 50s. He was a natural left hander but said that he was forced to do everything right handed because the right hand was seen as 'the hand of god' and the left hand is...well you know the rest.

He said he does everything right handed because of how he was trained, but his brain still naturally wants to do everything left handed. According to him, it had messed with his brain his entire life! That story always stayed with me.
