When the movie came out I had to bring a note from my mom to get the Peter Benchley novel from my small town (really small) public library because it contained "sexually explicit" material.
 
In the end. No one really knows what next season brings. Injuries.. players don't improve or achieve..
 
They wouldn't let me and my friend in R Rated . 17yr Couple on date told ticket taker we were with them got us in.
 
Watched 2 showings..still shocked 2nd time around opening scene..

I don't think that is what most of the so called "anti-Tua" crowd think at all. I don't think ppl, as a rule, "dislike" Tua, though there are a few that didn't like the pick and irrationally hold it against him in a personal level. What's to dislike about Tua as a person?

They just don't believe he is a "carry the team when the chips are down with a bad hand" guy. Not saying I agree or disagree, just that equating not believing in, and "hating" Tua are two different things and is a distinction you (and others) routinely dismiss, by lumping everyone together like that.

Frankly, a lot of the division here arises from posters having that attitude that refuses to acknowledge others may have valid opinions, and if their opinion is different then they are just hating aholes.

Nothing to do with Tua specifically, but your position reflects fear of not finding a good QB because of our track record over the last two decades. To that I would say when have we really tried?

RT is the only rd1 QB, aside from Tua, we have drafted. That's a pretty small sample size if you are applying statistical theory as a predictor.

I just think it is extremely difficult to select a QB who would come in and be better than what they already have in Tua.

He has gotten better every year he has been in the league and I believe he is definitely one of the top QB’s in the league at this time.

It wasn’t Tua’s fault that the defense and offensive line was riddled with injuries in the latter part of last season or in the playoff game.

As a Dolphin fan, I would hate to see Tua go to another team because I think he is the Dolphins best chance to eventually make it to the SB. The front office is obviously going to do whatever they want to do regarding Tua but if they decide to let him walk in free agency. It won’t surprise me in the least if he goes to another team and does for them what Drew Brees did for the Saints.

Until you have to cut Tyreek, Holland, Chubb and several more just to pay him the $42 million.

Tyreek is history after this season. Holland, depends really upon the price safeties are not something to spend BIG$$ on. Chubb, we he is still under contract till 2027, but his cap is getting ugly in those final three seasons, I suspect do to the restructurings to free space this year and last.
 
I’m starting to think Tua may not be next. Did I get prepared for nothing?
 
I read all these comments and it's really quite amazing.

I don't know but I am zero percent worried about the current state of negotiations. 0.

This will get over the line. Patience. League starts in September.

For what reason? Go back and look at the larger QB deals and when they get signed. Often before and even after TC starts. Our impatience doesn't create new facts.

Well, I'm really only stating the obvious here, but the reason would most likely be that the two sides are too far apart on contract demands v willingness to pay. Reports are, and who knows how accurate, are the sides are not close. If they were, it would be a different situation.

Not saying it won't get done but it seems like the Tua camp is fairly adamant about getting what they termed "market value", and Grier has a history of preferring not putting huge guarantees in contracts to allow future flexibility.

If neither side "blinks", nothing can get done.

Which side do you think "blinks"? Or do you think both sides are just posturing and the sides are closer than they appear like a rearview mirror?

I would also point out that those other deals (Burrow, Lawrence, Herbert, etc) got done a year earlier, as soon it was allowed by rules to do so. That is apples and oranges.
