If Matt Stafford can win a super bowl I don’t see why Tua cannot. Mediocre QB play can get it done, and Tua is still ascending. You don’t need Mahomes or Rogers back there to get it done.

The Dolphins will need to build a strong team around him to do so. Keep building the offensive line, and strengthen our skill positions. We’re closer than most believe.


Happy offseason,

these are like the two polar opposites on the QB spectrum. This super bowl prob puts MS on pace to be a first ballot HOF'er. he pretty much erased alot of Marinos records from the books.

i love tua, hell i got his jersey and its the first one i've bought since ricky, but right now all we have is a QB with a high ceiling and pretty high floor. We can win with what we are getting out of Tua right now, we have yet to see what all we can get out of him.

Put there is a reason that the Rams traded the farm for MS
 
To win football games consistently you need 3 things: a good run game, strong defense, and competent Passing game. I believe Tua is a competent QB, and once we have the run game down we are in good shape. People want the sexy flame thrower arm, but don’t understand accuracy is the most important part of playing QB.
 
lol. Mat Stafford has 50K in passing yards and is 12th all time in the NFL and just won the Super Bowl with a clutch 4th quarter drive. This isn't a vacuum, you cannot take a Super Bowl performance and make a comparison to a 3rd year QB.

There have been a lot of Hall of Fame QBs who've had marginal success in a Super Bowl simply due to the nature of this game, it's the absolute largest game of most players careers.
 
My takeaway from these playoffs and SB was that what wins at the QB position is smart play rather than the super athlete QB or super arm QB. Outside of the Buffalo/KC game that had incredible QB performances, the other games were won by the QB that played conservatively and didn't make the big mistake. Even the SB played out that way. I don't believe Stafford has mediocre passing ability, but they won the game b/c he avoided the big mistake at the end after nearly giving it away with some big mistakes earlier (although I'm not sure if that 2nd INT was totally on him since it looked like WR stumbled a step before making that pass appear to be slightly inaccurate).

So give me the guy that plays smart, is accurate and understands how to get the ball to his play-makers as part of a balanced offense. IMO Tua needs experience and time to learn a new system to prove that he's the guy who can be an elite decision-maker. It is not going to depend on arm strength or size. Developing as a decision-maker is what will determine his success or failure.
 
I stopped reading when you said Stafford is mediocre. He has been solid his whole career and will be in the HoF at some point imo. As far as Tua reaching those heights, who knows(Maybe not HoF of course just a solid performer)? Right now let's just hope McDaniel gets something out of him this upcoming season.
