This is the live game I've seen Tua play. His passes seemed to lack zip, or strength. The passes looked in slow motion.

Touch and accuracy are great, but you also need arm strength to fire passes into tight spots. Look at Herbert.

I'm not talking about atm strength in length of throws, but velocity.
 
When Tua fully heals he will have more zip on his passes. But the guy never had a strong arm, at best it will be mediocre by NFL standards. His strengths are his decision making, general accuracy and leadership. He had a good first start!
 
Obviously very much controlled by the play calling and since we were comfortably up throughout he didn’t need to do anything more for us to win..He can thank our D and Goff for that, it won’t be that easy usually though..
 
Seems to be zipping them to me, especially the 4 passes that were dropped.

The individual post-game outlook on Tua is different if Gesicki catches a deep ball that literally hits him in the hands, and Williams catches 2 likely first downs that hit him in the hands as well. I think Gaskin dropped one, too.

Perhaps the wrong handed spin was an issue for Williams. How did all of the Niners' WRs adapt to Young's passess?

Or that he's just not a good enough wide receiver to begin with. He had a major issue with the dropsies last year. That has continued.
