Tua's Next. Be prepared.

[dreamblk]

They came in 2nd place in the AFC East. They then lost the only playoff game they played in.

They weren't a bad team. They were a pretty good team until late in the season. Yeah, injuries and all that. Sooner or later, we've got to see Tua when everything isn't stacked against him and we need to see him win when the stakes are high.

Until then... he is a pretty good QB that hasn't gone very far in the post-season.

They came in second place by losing a home game they were up by 13 with 2:47 left on the clock. And we played a playoff game against the Superbowl champions on the road in the coldest game ever in NFL history game. Not Tua our horrible day game coaching.

More on how great our run game was last season.

6th in total yards
1st in yards per carry
1st in total touchdowns.

NFL Most Team Rushing Yards Leaders 2023 | StatMuse

The Baltimore Ravens rushed for the most yards by a team in 2023, with 2,661 yards.

You said that the only reason the run game was successful was because other teams were scared of the pass(LMAO)

These numbers add up to a whole lot of fear.

Have no idea who your are responding too......(they must have me on ignore so I can't see the original question), however, I don't think it is debatable that a potent passing attack has a direct impact on the LB's and safeties in the run game. Some teams run the ball to set up the pass.....we actually do the opposite. Either way can work

In 2023, we were 6th in rushing yards for the regular season. We also increase our rushing attempts by 15% - 20% as McD realized he didn't run enough in 2022, especially in short yardage and inside the 10 yard line (he publicly said this)

I don't think you can dismiss the impact of having two receivers who can beat CB's and Safeties deep so it doesn't allow them to cheat to the LOS to defend the run. I would also say that McD's willingness to take risks on 3rd and short (much to our frustration at times) also has an impact.

 

[GRYPHONK]

No

you take anything and everything as an assault on Tua.. Like he is your brother or something. Someone saying we should wait a year to sign him to a new contract and you freak out. Someone saying Tua in Miami is beneficial and Tua playing somewhere else would result in lesser stats... again you freak out.

To you there can be no analysis or critical review... Everything has to be all positives.

Dude, we are not cheerleaders. It is okay to look at positives and negatives of Tua... and his next contract.

Nah. Someone disagreeing with you isn't or expressing their opinion that's diferreen then you're is not them freaking out.

If that's the case, you freak out on every single reply. But it's not the case.

So if you want to actually have a conversation, don't make those statement or accusations to someone who is simply doing what you are doing.

You're not a victim and Waylon is not freaking out

You have to admit, some ppl do take things as a personal affront.

Not pointing at anyone specific, but sometimes one would think their grandmother was being insulted.

These are multimillionaire grown men in the public domain. They are open to criticism.

Hes responding to me as I stated our run game numbers are primarily due to being set up by the pass which is true. He just posted overall figures when we played a lot of bad teams and juiced our numbers.

Will I would have loved to run more it’s just not how our offense is run. We won’t average 5 ypc by running 35 times a game without setting up the pass and catching teams off balance. Anyone that watches games will tell you the same and when we are expected to run we get stuffed.

The problem with the "juiced numbers against bad teams" reasoning is that every other team plays "bad teams" too and benefit statistically from it as well.

Singling out the Dolphins, purporting it is only them is a flawed argument.

True.

But this is written text. It's hard to determine tone and actual emotion.

It's really difficult to truly tell who's taking it personally, who's trolling, or who's writing in caps appearing to be emotional only not realizing their rolling their eyes laughing while responding.

People are way too quick to be offended or be accusatory.

I get that a lot here. When people writec" didn't mean to offend you" it makes me laugh because I don't take offense to anything written on here.

I take offense to the FO screwing us over lol. But nothing anyone says on here gets me emotionally invested.

But in all fairness, GRYPHONK does tend to portray and write as a character at times. So I can understand the misunderstanding haha

Oh I take that back. Recently I did take it personal over the O line. People trying to convince me it's ok did strike a nerve.

But I am over it now and can respond free of emotions haha

We can only hope......lol

Lol, true true.

It was actually 1972forever's post that turned me around. So kudos to him.

I'll still have my opinions on the o line. But I'll be more toned down and not respond to EVERYTHING lol

 

[phishfan4life]

Okay let's play...

Tua gets his 55-60 million per.

Hill retires at the end of his contract... Mostert goes away...

What then?

(Assuming that the draft picks do not all pan out.)

Like I asked before

How is the window anything more than this coming season.

Why do you keep including Mostert in this SB window like he is irreplaceable? I like Mostert, but finding a high level replacement for a RB or WR is a hell of a lot easier than finding a QB. The window closes immediately if Tua is jettisoned. The window can remain open if Tua is resigned. The question is, does the FO think they can win a SB with Tua?

Lol, yeah. I love how Mostert is being used as some great elite talent.

I love Mostert, but seriously. This time last year, Miami just resigned him after their flirtation with Cook.

He had a great season, but you are not drafting RBS back to back season if your current RB is elite or irreplaceable.

Kudos to McDaniels for giving the illlusion that Mostert is some elite talent.

 

[Rick Cartman]

If a deal doesn't get done, I hope Tua has a contract year type of season coming up.
My worst-case scenario is its January 2025 and Ross is having a press conference with Grier after firing McDaniel and saying he's moving on from Tua, and that Grier will be in charge of another rebuild.

That’s fine just doesn’t change the fact that they aren’t a team that’s going to run 35 times a game when the other team knows we are going to run. We struggled in obvious running situations.

Anyone with eyes saw that no matter what the numbers say.

Wasn’t really comparing to other teams anyways so not making a flawed argument towards Miami just making an obvious observation

great point. Many dismiss a great performance against "bad teams" yet point to a middling performance against a great team as to why a team or player "sucks" and "can't win"
