Is Tua an option? Appears to be trouble in paradise...

Players thought Mahomes was trash too his first year. 

We’ll see.

They have a point about his athleticism and arm strength. This is why guys like Trask aren’t going anywhere. That stuff really matters these days.

I kept trying to tell people this.  The Dolphins are NOT sold on Tua.  Go watch his tape.  He did NOT look very good.  His arm was questionable, his mechanics were shaky and his decision making slow.  I want Tua to succeed simply because I like watching good QB play across the league as a whole, but it's far from a given at this point.

The 'Phins don't need to draft Lawrence.  They are in a position to take one of the two QB's that follows Lawrence.  Yes, they have other needs.  WR is a glaring need.  But I can understand why they might go QB if they believe Tua isn't going to cut it.  He's not on franchise money.

I don't understand why people think it is so crazy that an organization could use 2 1st round picks on QBs in a short period of time.

There isn't a team in the league that wouldn't happily give up 2 first for a franchise QB.

You are basically giving yourself 2 chances for finding a QB.

If one is bad, and the other one is good, you are happy.

If they are both are good, you trade one, you are happy.

If they both are terrible, then you are still looking for a QB.

If any of these reports are true, then it sounds like the Dolphins should look at QB this year.

Which also tells you how much good coaching matters. Andy Reid has pretty much made every qb he’s had look good. 

Yeah. He said he came back to the second training camp a completely different qb. It’s why I want Lance to sit for most of the year if we draft him.

I saw the Dolphins play three times and he was horrible to bad in each game. I hoped that Grier's (Dolphins GM) declaration that Tua was their starting would mean that they would not draft a QB in the upcoming draft. However, I am still not completely convinced that the Dolphins will not draft a QB in the first round. I am guessing that Grier was responsible for the pick . Tua was that bad. 

Herbert is clearly the better QB and Miami chose Tua ahead of him. Grier may be staking his tenure in Miami on Tua -  especially if he doubles down on the pick by passing on a QB this season.

I would not want him in Carolina. That damn WFT win continues to come back to haunt this franchise.

give it context

when?

Tua has actually played regular season games

Tyreek said it in an interview. Kelce disputes that claim though but said Mahomes had to transition from “just a regular gun slinger”.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
