Experience helps in lots of aspects of life. I was talking about the brain slowing down once it reaches it's peak... Someone else chimed in this thread and stated the brain reaches full maturity at 25..... I believe we stay sharp a long time... (As someone older I want to believe it is forever... LOL ) I do not accept the premise that once the brain is fully developed it will continue to process information faster.
One of my goals for this fall is to teach myself python.. I am old so in school we learned some Basic and Fortran... There is no practical use for those old dinosaurs now I can think of... (Old dated banking systems maybe??) I tossed a coin between C++ and Python.... Python won.
So as a hobby I have searched for apps and websites to learn Python... It is next on my list. I read that they studied and noticed the difference in the way people do math before and after they learn to code. I am not expecting to be much of a coder...(LOL) I just like the idea that my brain is still spongy enough to pick something new up.
Back to Tua....
We have all been let down and disappointed so many times as fans of this franchise. I opted to put a window on Tua when we drafted him. I looked at the rookie contract as a good guide. Figuring that virtually all of the improvement he would make as a professional player would be made before the end of the rookie deal. In the past I have made excuses for players... Blamed coaches... Blamed injuries... Blamed the system... But one by one QB's have leftt Miami in their mid to late 20's and the experience has been bad for the most part.
So we know Physically players peak in their mid 20's(27) and their brain is fully developed by the age of 25... Tua has already cleaned up his footwork and arm mechanics.... He has already put time in the gym to get stronger. He is already getting rid of the ball as fast as anyone in the league. All of which again leads me to think that his improvement, if any, will be negliable from here on out. This is why I said this might be about as good as it gets here.
When I was younger I could read 2-3 books a week and absorb them.... I find that I can still learn... But it takes a lot more effort at 50. I now have to read something more than once to be able to recall it.
