Tua's steps to getting 100%

Thanks for this post. Great stuff.

Reading this serves as a good reminder that Tua has entrusted his rehab and development with the right people. When the weight of an NFL franchise is on your shoulders, it’s probably pretty tempting to skip steps. Especially while your own fan base is busy talking about Justin Herbert and Deshaun Watson.

Tua’s not afraid of hard work and smart enough to see that he had to be patient with his rehab, because if not, there’s no guarantee he makes it to the next step. 2 years ago, we drafted the right QB. I can’t wait for the naysayers to be served their plates of crow. They’ll be plenty to go around.

You can imagine your mind wants to be 100% but you just cant. Moreover trying to block all the criticism, all the politics, trade drama, team/personnel problems, and coaching changes. Its alot to deal with. This got to be the year this team turns it around while giving him the tools to succeed, like every QB young and old. Im glad the investments this staff is putting in is actually happening, just theres a long way to go till next season lol.
 
The difference is really obvious. I feel for the kid in that 2021 video. Especially the second throw of the video. Those were throws he could make in his sleep before his injury. His lower body and arm looked out of sync, and it really effected his velocity and accuracy, and you can see and feel his frustration by his body language. Fast forward to this year, you can see how much faster his drops look and how much easier, faster, and smoother the ball comes out of his hand. Let's all hope the improvement transfers over to the regular season. Even though Tua hasn't been a disappointment to me as a player thus far, I have to say, I definitely underestimated how much his injury effected his physical ability. If Tua can replicate what he looked like in the second half of that video during the regular season, watch out, because with McDaniel's scheme and a healthy and deadly accurate QB, this team is definitely a playoff contender and hopefully more.

A lot of people seem to overlook the fact he came in as a rookie after suffering a hip injury that takes most people two years or more to recover from and those people don’t make a living getting hit at full speed by some of the best athletes on earth. There is no doubt Tua needs to continue to improve but he certainly has the work ethic and the skills to become a top QB in the NFL.
Only time will tell if he can reach the level we hoped he would when he was drafted. Yet it appears he is now fully healed from that injury and he has the talent around him to succeed for the first time since he was drafted. So I look forward to seeing how he performs now that he has that talent around him and a coaching staff that fully supports him.
