I am seeing that there are multiple teams that have Tua as the #3 or #4 Qb on their board. It makes sense because Miami is now trying to trade up to #1 for Joe Burrow. Would you take Tua at #7 or pass?

I think they wait one year minimum to decide on drafting a QB. We have so many other needs, and I believe they wait to see what Teddy/PJ/Grier can do for us before making that decision. With one guard we will have a very solid offense, and if TB performs well, we could compete next season after two full off seasons to rebuild our defense.

Definitely pass.

I actually think we're good at QB for at least a couple seasons. Many people dismiss Teddy too easily. He's efficient and a great distributor. And who knows what we might have in Walker. I'm curious though.

But if we see a developmental guy we like later in the draft, I'm not opposed to taking a QB late this year.

Spending our round 1 pick on a QB when our defense is so porous would be laughable to me. Just look at the history of round 1 QBs and their bust rate. We *need* help elsewhere immediately, and there is plenty to be had at the top of the draft.

I think we actually need two guards.

I would indeed take Tua at 7, but only if the plan is to let Teddy start for this whole season and maybe even 1 more, before we throw Tua out there. Even if Teddy got hurt this year I wouldn’t put Tua in, let him get up to speed with the NFL before seeing any regular season game action. Worked wonders for arguably the best 2 QBs in recent memory, Rodgers and now Mahomes...

I think it might be the perfect scenario for us if Tua is available. He can sit behind Teddy and slowly learn the offense. If Teddy struggles, then you have Tua. If Teddy performs, you could trade him to a qb needy team.

Hard pass.

It's Teddy Time...

I wish Tua the best but doubt he ever does much in the National Football League.

If he stays healthy he definitely can. He’s mobile and was deadly accurate making all the throws in college. Russell Wilson-esque.

      He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.

      RODS gotta GO

      I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
