That hip injury very well could have cost him some throwing power.

This was what I was alluding to before. Tua is still recovering from that hip surgery, I guarantee it. Sure, he's well enough to play, but I'd bet anything he isn't 100% back to what he was before the injury. It might take another year before he's really 100%, which might be why he looks like he has a weak arm.

Hell, even if this is about all the arm he has, there's dozens of examples of NFL QBs with about the same arm strength that did very well anyway.

Though I have to admit, I wasn't really impressed with Tua's overall accuracy. He would have to be more accurate to remain in the NFL for long.

LMAO

I wish I could watch alternate reality Dolphins fan Deberg work his magic on a Miami forum.

Fiedler_1990: "Should the Dolphins have drafted Justin Herbert instead of Tua?"

ROFL
Maybe that's exactly what he's doing on a bunch of forums. Ha, I hope he is, actually.

Mitchell_1993:

I hope he checked with the head coach first.

we should take Fitz as a backup

Don't think we can afford him.

And I've read rumors that the Chiefs are probably looking at finding a young QB to step in next year as QB2 or 3. Maybe a late draft pick or a Josh Rosen type? You know, a young QB that didn't stick wherever and is just looking to stay in the league that has some decent skills. Gotta keep costs down was the point of the story.

I doubt he wants to sit on the bench for 19 games a year when he can at least play in a few, if not many, in another city.

Solid read on it, splits it both ways fairly

I'll back up what some others have said -- I don't think the plan was for Tua to necessarily start this year. The opportunity presented itself and they felt he was healthy enough to go. He just doesn't seem 100% percent yet.

Would love to get Minshew for that role.

Not a Tua believer. He will win them nothing.

I had considered that. If it did, everyone involved is ****ed.

But even if it was wouldn’t you see him try and sling one because it used to work?

Tua has been looking pretty good. Perhaps patience was the proper choice.
