Best scenario:
  • Trade Tua for Watson
  • Sign Watson; Keep Tua (2nd qb)
Make your best choice...!

It's an easy one for me, sign Watson and keep Tua as 2nd string qb. You?

Respect But couldnt disagree more.
1. Build around Tua
2. Sign Minshew as Backup.
3. If we don’t make playoffs next season, use out first draft choices to sign top QB in the draft.

I wouldn’t even consider Watson with his baggage and the draft capital to get him.
 
Pipe dream. You can’t bring in another qb that you expect to start and keep Tua. This will cause problems in the locker room. Tua just lead the team to finish 8-1 last 9 games, there’s going to be guys that believe in him and look to him as a leader. Trying to replace him in general will cause problems but trying to replace will keeping him will divide the locker room.

I’m completely against Watson though. Too much money, too much draft capital and too many problems.

Football is about competition...Tua is under contract next 2 yr...dolphins got seat down make couple hard decisions next yr.
 
I don’t see how Tua’s people don’t demand a trade if we traded for Watson.
 
Three firsts...for a franchise QB....We have 2 in 2023 correct? So it's really just two seasons without one.

Also the hope is that those end up as late picks, less valuable.

I'm 100% behind trading for Watson depending on his legal outlook, but if it's not Watson it has to be Tua unless Rodgers magically decided he's loves Miami.

Those last 2 games are more than enough tape to show Tua isn’t a franchise QB. He is garbage.
 
We’ll have to use Tua as trade value. He has some value left but we will have to include several top picks.

Ahh yes judging a second year qb off two games… brillant. How did Drew Brees look his second year or even his third year before things clicked. What did Josh Allen look like? I mean Tua’s second year stat wise is pretty similar to Tom Brady’s He’s not garbage he had one bad game in bad weather other than that at worst he’s average which for year two that’s about as high as you should expect. Herbert and Burrow aren’t normal and if that’s your standard then more than likely you’ll be going through 24 rookie qbs in the next 50 years. This year was his absolute floor given the worst oline and running game in the league combined with sub par wideouts and he was still average come year two.

Do me a favor go look at the last 20 years of superbowls and look how many game managers there are, the amount will surprise you

I think you hold Tua until you know Goodell isn’t going to suspend Watson.
 
This Watson deal is super expensive #1 and number 2 he still is in the middle of a bunch of legal problems. After the Titan game I wanted to put Tua in a box and mail him to outer Mongolia wherever that is, I know it's far!! But, I've chilled. The truth is we just won 7 out of 8 to close out the year. I want no part of a huge ticket FA QB. I don't want Wilson, Rogers or Watson. The jury is still out on Tua because he has shown some weaknesses that must be cleaned up, like throwing a football when it's freezing and raining. But, for now, he can be a game manager type of QB, more like Griese than Marino. In time we can open the playbook but it's going to take a true fix of the oline and a highly drafted RB who is a downhill bruiser. If we ever want to move on from Tua, DRAFT your new QB. You can't commit half your payroll to a QB, smart teams draft their guy. Maybe we have our guy but we need to make sure. A line, a RB and some new receivers to compliment Waddle. Then we'll see what we have.
