I know in the post game news conference he was hard on himself for that throw and said he was trying to force something but I’d like to point out this was the first pass of his rookie season where it showed his immaturity as a pro QB. That was the first time this year I looked at my television and said really why would you make that throw!. I think all of us know when rookie quarterbacks start and even vets there are at least a handful of throws in a season that are just bonehead throws. That was Tuas first. I was thinking about that after the game and in my opinion it makes me view that throw in a different perspective knowing he has made so many wise choices so far in his rookie campaign. I think the guy is way ahead of the game in his maturity and I hope he learns from that bonehead mistake. Just take the sack and get three on the board.

I don't think he even needed to take the sack, he just needed to tuck and run. I think his rushing to in the second half showed that he already learned that.
 
That one was on him. But he’ll learn. After watching how BB confused Herbert, en route to a, what, 45-0 shutout I believe? I was expecting this game to be much tougher on him.

I didn't believe that BB could confuse Tua all game like he did Herbert. Herbert is a physical marvel and makes throws every week that only a few QBs can make, but Tua is incredible at how fast he learns. I've referenced it before, but Dilfer's take that "Tua is a one rep guy" (meaning he learns things after just one rep) seems spot on. I don't think many people realize how rare that is.

That is true and it shows he is either ahead of his time or well coached, probably both

He was late and then when he made the decision he got hit which made the ball a wobbler. It will happen occasionally.

The hit and the ball not being a clean spiral is irrelevant. Didn’t change the outcome at all.

Really? Thats the first one? I love Tua, but that throw away that was intercepted, luckily out of bounds was a WTF moment for me. A few throws were directly into the defenders hands but either got called back due to penalties or the defenders could not hold on to the ball. It's normal he's a rookie and is making mistakes, but this can't be your first moment you've realized this.
 
Kindley made a heck of a play on the int.
Anyway, BB did nothing to confuse him there, pocket pressure screwed up the timing there. When it was time to throw he moved in the pocket to avoid pressure.
I wasn't even mad at that pick.

Tua's ability to learn on the fly is rare. The Dolphin coaches are also light years ahead of what Herbert has in LA. These are both very good young QBs. Let's be happy with what we have.
 
I will point out if you watch the replay, Winovich is about to hit him right as Bowden gets open. You can see Tua look to the right as he feels the pressure and try to step up in the pocket. Winovich ends up hitting him anyways and the throw was a duck. It was certainly a mistake. That being said it was also a great play by Winovich throwing the timing of the play off (Bowden was only open for like a second) and forcing an INT.
 
I agree it was a mistake, should've beed throwing it away... But that fight to make things happen is one of his strenght and Im not sure you want to totally coach it out of him. Yesterday he got a INT but on other times, he converted critical downs doing the same type of thing. Wish he didnt get hit as he threw because Im really curious to know how he would have approached that throw...
