Dolphins GM says Tua is QB for 2021

Love this because this team could be really good if they get the QB right, and I don’t think Tua is it. |

They’ll draft Sewell, Chase, or Smith unless they trade down.
I still think Tua can be a great game manager, so if they continue to build around him and get that defense playing at an elite level, they could still be a damn good team. Imagine them getting one of those 3 and Najee Harris... |

If they drafted Herbert instead of Tua, they would be looking great. I haven't been impressed with Tua, I don't think he'll amount to much. I also thought the same of Josh Allen, though.

Of course he is. The question is if they go the Blake bortles and Trubisky route and do zero to bring qb competition. They should have enough reason for concern that they consider aggressively drafting for a qb in 2021. Fitzmagic doesn't do that. He is a bandaid if Tua doesn't work out, as we quickly learned with nick foles.

Louis Riddick was on ESPN today basically ripping the shit out of people for saying the Dolphins should draft a QB and "The expectations people have for young QBs is ridiculous"

Probably it's the right move. At least it's a high-percentage move. Can't chase QBs in every draft. At some point you have to play the cards you're dealt.
And Tua could become a good QB. He might just need to adjust to the speed of the NFL, kind of like how Andrew Luck did. No, I'm not saying the kid will be the next Andrew Luck. But he could see a similar trajectory in his development. It took about three seasons, iirc, for Luck to really be comfortable with the speed of NFL defenses, and begin to become the QB that everyone thought he could be. Even then Luck never was the Manning 2.0 a lot of people assumed he would be. But he did become a very good QB. Tua could still become a solid QB. They kind of have to give him an entire season at least to prove himself.

Fug 'em. I never felt bad for the Bears for drafting Trubisky either.

The excuse that Tua doesn't have enough talent around him on offense to look better than a mediocre game manager is interesting when Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to generate a more explosive downfield passing game with the same personnel.

Yeah I have a feeling the Dolphins will regret draft Tua over Herbert. They would have been scary with Herbert and their core players right now.

The physical tools show up first in the NFL. Tua should not have even been playing this year. He will be fine. And Fields is not the answer. |

Seeing how good Jefferson is, and thinking how much better Chase was than him in 2019, it’s easy not to forget just how good of a prospect Chase is/was for me. I don’t think you can go wrong with either guy though. But Sewell would still be #1 on my board either way. They could move Jackson over to RT and slide Hunt inside. You probably get better at 3 positions with that pick while having up to 4 starters on the OL within the first 2 years of their rookie deals. Then add Harris or Etienne and you’ve really got something. |

And people proclaimed that Herbert was a noodle arm, inaccurate QB with no leadership qualities.
