You must have just skimmed through the post… “not bad for a guy with a weak arm” insinuates what? Hmmmm
Tua's 12.2 average yards per completion is pretty good.

I'll admit I did miss that last line but do agree that Tua doesn't have a weak arm, it's just an average one.

Anything to tear him down and take away what he did. Great job.
Wilson's probably was around 12 yards which was on his average. And no one said he threw 50 yard bombs. But if we did people would be complaining about that as well. When someone does good in life do we not recognize it or do we keep giving **** about a person.
As far as comparing people's stats that's what we literally do all the time to compare who is the greatest etc etc etc. How will you know how good someone is doing if you don't have something to compare them to? Good lord
Are bombs the only measuring stick for validating yards? I would challenge that bombs are just as much a product of the receiver as the qb. Tua instantly recognized the defensive breakdown and took advantage of it. Why shouldn’t he get credit for that? It’s the QBs job to find the open man and that’s what he did. It’s not like it was a shovel pass behind the line of scrimmage that went for 50 yards. It was a beautifully thrown ball where the receiver didn’t have to break stride. Oh yeah, and with his injured hand.

I sure as hell hope Tua isnt out there trying to prove people he has a stronger than average arm... I hope he's out there trying to improve his efficiency, which is measured in YPA, which was very nice last night and a good clip better this season...
Be grumpy all you want but dont throw out this false narrative that Tua's numbers overall are a result of YAC... Its weird.
All the people saying this is stupid because it’s just one week, etc. are right. But I hope they realize that it’s equally stupid to criticize Tua’s season YPA when he’s throwing behind the worst pass blocking line in football. We can’t give him time to sit in the pocket and throw deep. It’s not apples to apples with a functional offense with a functional offensive line.
Hell, last night we managed to block a flea flicker worse than any team in NFL history to the point that Tua had to improvise it into a screen pass.

As if no one else has YAC. Too funny.
Actually, everyone else but 2 other teams get better YAC out of their receivers, and on top of it, only one team drops more balls than Fins receivers... If anything, Fins QBs YPA should be adjusted up, not down.

Hmmm…
When you try to attribute YPA and arm strength you are kind of doing that…
Read his initial post. No one discrediting his play.

I love when people criticize Tua by saying a guy was wide open or ran a lot after the catch. It just shows that they don’t watch any football. You’re not throwing for 300+ yards in this league if guys are constantly blanketed and get no YAC. Good offenses scheme guys open and good QB’s find them.

I never said that. Whats funny is you deciding to jump in a conversation that wasnt directed to you.
But since you want to….
YAC/YPA has zero to do with arm strength if the pass plays are all short plays that break open. The OP stated this observation of high YPA like it clears tua from being “weak armed”. Anything else you want to comment on?

I don't think people in here need stats to be thrown around lol. We all do want our team to win regardless who plays quarterback. We had a win against a team with a winning record so that is a start. Then again, so did the Jaguars lol.
