Be honest, 'only his rookie year', if Tua has top 15 qb ranking, you all would proclaimed he is the second coming.

Yes, let's pretend that he was at 100% and he wasn't playing with a practice squad level receivers at the end.

Let's be honest if he plays well, you will disappear until he has a bad game.
Pretty sure I'd be proclaiming he was a top 15 QB. Not everybody goes overboard on extremes, you may not get that though.

I actually thought he should have sat his entire rookie year given the context. He played at about the level I expected.
If he had a top 15 ranking, I would be extremely impressed considering the adversity he was dealing with and might say something like that in jest.
To be honest, I think QB rating can be extremely flawed. It depends on how a QB accumulated the stats.
What I would be is looking forward to his growth in year 2 just as I am right now.

But he had a better rookie year than a lot of HOFers but you still **** on him. Goes both ways.
Dig up segment of HOFers record to justify his rookie performance. What a dumb post.

You make up a random benchmark he needed to achieve is just as bad. He had an average rookie year all things considered. Deal with it.
No…I think most Dolphin fans want a winner and are rooting for Tua to have the lightbulb go on and display better arm strength than we witnessed.
If he plays well…I’ll be praising him.
This is a Dolphin forum…not a pep squad.
We’ve always discussed our opinions and differences on this forum and it’s why we come. We didn’t use to have this gestapo type insistence on agreement and the use of terms like “haters” to describe those who see a situation differently than you!
It’s not even about the raw numbers…it’s the unimpressive way it was done. The arm strength…etc etc etc
You didn’t feel like you were watching future greatness…hopefully the hip recovery was the issue!
Yes great example this week when tua had that 5 int practice day, all the so called "critics" (not wanting to be called haters) came out of the woodworks. Next day 6 TD practice, those people dont show up,
But if they were truly "supporters of the team", the least they could do was show up and give him some praise. Do both critique and praise, Now thats fair and square. Then they wonder why they are considered haters. Thing is, we remember those FH names who come and bash and then dissapear.

There are a couple posters here that do nothing but bash Tua. They will definitely disappear when he plays well. I’ve seen many like them before

You didn’t feel like you were watching future greatness..Dude, is this seriously something you just posted? After 9 games?
I’ve watched enough football in 50+ years of watching this game to know a great arm when I see one. Tua did not display the arm strength of a great QB. Now we’re hoping that it was the hip holding him back and not a lack of arm talent.
When Dan Marino took the field in 1983…it didn’t take long to realize he had it…..Tua did not give many that same impression in 2020. Let’s hope for better in 2021!
How long did it take for you to see Brady's great arm or Montana's?
