Crickets from the critics.
Derrius Thompson...Because there is nothing to get criticized or to get hyped about yet.
Tua will succeed or he won't and it's going to be based on his play during the season, not practice or OTA where guys like Chris Hogan can look like the second coming.
Im hoping Tua has a great season, but his ability to throw in camp with no pressure where he can't actually be hit has literally 0 to do with what I'm critical of.
You act like having critical thoughts about his game means we need to criticize every throw he's ever made and every time he's sneezed. That's not how it works.
It's strange how obsessed people are with every little thing around Tua-- he's a decent guy, doing his thing and everyone understands that he needs to get better to be the player he seems capable of being. I don't recall this kind of mundane obsession about a guy who is fairly humble, even with high expectations. It's all really strange to me... even beyond the business as usual fandom and critiques.
You see with bands (music) all the time---I'm not a fan of Nickelback, Creed or Dave Matthews Band but it's obvious there are way worse bands that don't get that much hate. It becomes a meme almost by chance at first, then people just enjoy piling on to it, as its own separate concept divorced from any reality.It's strange how obsessed people are with every little thing around Tua-- he's a decent guy, doing his thing and everyone understands that he needs to get better to be the player he seems capable of being.
