He's not even close to out of the woods and I doubt he will be, before the draft. I doubt he'll be able to hold a pro day or throw for teams, for example. Tua said it at his press conference. This is about faith.
Tua had a good report but he isn't even out of the woods so to speak needs another 16 weeks, not sure how long it will be for him to get on the field just to test and see where he is at, all this speculation that some team will jump ahead of us is crap, who's going to bet on him jumping over us at 5 when they don't even know if he will make it back on to the field and he will be a different player if he does, I don't see him running for 1st downs anymore, he use to be the best passer in college is he still?
All this crap is over hyped, and a big gamble for the Dolphins to take him at 5 and sit him a year not knowing if he will ever see the field again, how did the gamble turn out with 2 of our top picks both could be consider top 5 Tunsil and Mankah - we didn't make out on either. Spending additional resources to move up in the draft would be foolish. There are QB's coming out in 2021.

I don't believe I've ever been accused of that before.Thank you. A voice of sanity!!!
Its always a gamble IMO, there is always risk... Tua's risk was minimal before the injury, the hip just put him back in line with Burrow, who's risk is sample size... The other QBs in this draft are far riskier. They are not there yet, the risk is that they actually never get there.it's a gamble on health grounds for sure, but it's one we simply have to take.
