A few weeks ago, Tua blamed Flo's negative attitude and attributed his success to McDaniel. What success? Maybe financial or personal but the team suffers. He is fragile and cannot take a hit, limiting play selection. Tua must throw before the receiver is even open to avoid a hit.

Despite his fragility, Tua is ****y. On Tua's first pick, he had a checkdown that gave us a first down. Instead, Tua tries to play hero. The second pick was thrown to a spot where the "Chosen" one was missing. Tua was still ****y after his first two picks. But after his last pick-six, he was clearly deflated. But then he tried to be a hero when he suffered his latest concussion. Now the entire league wants him to retire. He won't. Pursuit of the guaranteed money is Tua's right. And Tua will be cleared in 4-6 weeks. If he retires after being cleared, Miami will avoid guarantees in his contract. If Tua is never medically cleared, Miami owes him another $124,000,000 on top of the $42,000,000 he received in 2024.

Tua's poor play and injury has deflated the fan base. The remainder of this season will determine whether McDaniel should remain head coach and Grier as GM. My hope is that Skylar shows enough potential while Tua is cleared. McDaniel's impatience and refusal to take what the defense was giving caused the loss against the Bills. McDaniel needs to grow a set and stop calling players his teammates. He needs to enforce his so-called "standard." We should and will be a run first team while Tua is unable to play.

That's exactly opposite of what was happening against the Bills. They were moving the ball fine against Buffalo. They were carving them up with Achane running the ball and the short passing game. Tua then throws a perfect pass to a guy who most likely should never be on an NFL field and it bounces off his shoulder for an interception. Another miscommunication with another receiver that shouldn't be on the roster causes another interception, and a turnover on downs because they couldn't convert a fourth and less than a yard, and pretty much they were cooked. Even with all of that, they were still in the game until Tua tried to do too much and waited too long to throw the ball away and gets picked off for six points going the other way and the game gets out of hand.

Did you mean to say Tua’s impatience in the sentence I highlighted?

No, McDaniel is too impatient. Tua is one good hit from being brain damaged. We cannot plan a future on a hope.

I reject your case due to your "out of control" personal bias. - LOL

Can’t agree here

The first pick to Dubose was a good pass and should have been a nice gain. 70% of all passes thrown in this league are before a receiver comes out of their break……so using that as a negative is bizarre. The second pick was Chosen not pushing his route to the proper depth. Again, solid throw and you can see Chosen realize he is at the wrong spot and tries to compensate but it is too late

The third pick was solidly on Tua
 
Guys, there is no way we can count on Tua going forward. End of story or it should be. He needs to retire or risk death or permanent disability. Do we really want to see him in a wheel chair? Plus, without the injuries this plan and this offense isn't working. So what are we holding onto? Some chance that he doesn't get hit again in the head. Not much chance of that playing football. In this case Tua tried to truck a guy and got horribly injured. The injury is very serious and totally his fault. Now were really screwed because we are all in on a guy that should be retiring. The last interception was the very definition of pathetic. Hero ball, he can't just take the sack?? Hero ball, he doesn't slide, how can he not with his history??
BTW, Skyler really sucks. We need to sign JImmy G or somebody like that. With our oline a mobile QB might be the way to go but we need to not stand pat with Skyler while waiting for Tua to return. I have no interest in that plan. We already know it doesn't work and when you add in the injury factor we'd be bonifide idiots to count on Tua yet again. I'm for moving on, guess you can tell!

Bills defense was giving interviews that they were basically baiting Miami into outside runs with Achane to keep them from trying long plays with Waddle / Hill. I'd go watch the QB school video on Tua's game. He goes over that chosen int and points out why it's not simply Chosen slipped / ran the wrong route.

And it was working. Miami was getting chunk yards from Achane. If Miami tried forcing the deep throws into coverage, people would have complained that McDaniel is too impatient and was trying to "force" his scheme regardless of the coverage.
