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

[theinstrumental 151]

I do not want to replace Teddy with Younger Teddy.

@Zod I have this dude on ignore and I still see this thread. Is that normal behavior of the forum software?

Well it would turn Moton into our blindside protector

The decision to bench Fitz was a bad one and was unfair to Fitz, Tua and the other players on the roster as well. It did look like an attempt to keep the team in position for a good draft pick.

You do know Miami went 10-6 , right?

Its way to early to give up on Tua, but Miami using another first rounder on a qb wouldn't be that shocking.   Arizona did it picking Rosen and Murray.

[TheProcess 230]

Tua had ups and downs in his first season. Let's look at some facts of his season though.

1 - Tua hadn't played in an entire year due to a horrific injury. 

2 - He came back from this injury, not playing in a year, with no rookie camp, no pre-season, and very limited training camp.

3 - Tua played in very rare circumstances for a rookie QB. He was thrown into the fire of a playoff race.

4 - Tua as a rookie was playing behind 3 rookie offensive linemen that was very inconsistent picking up blitzes and different looks. 

5 - Miami also had very little running game to help the situation. Some due to a young line, the rest due to not having any skill in the backfield.

6 - Miami has one of the worst, if not the worst set of weapons in the entire NFL. In 3 games towards the end of the season, Mack Hollins was their top target. Tua had Miami's best (not good) receivers for 2 games. He beat the Rams and the Cardinals, playing really well against the Cardinals.

7 - Chan Gailey was the OC in Buffalo when Fitzpatrick played there. Chan was hired last offseason to bring in a system that Fitz could thrive in. His system does not fit the strengths of Tua at all.  Chan has now "retired" again.

 

I think you could look back through the entire history of the NFL, and it would be tough to find a rookie QB that has been faced with these circumstances. The jury is by far still out on Tua. Give him some weapons that can create quick space, and can win at the too of their routes, give him a RB, and an OC who has a system that fits his strengths, I think Tua will do really well. 

Also, don't listen to the media narrative about Fitz being their closer. Fitz came in and won ONE game against the Raiders. That was the ONLY time he "saved" the day. Raiders had just fired their DC, Marinelli stepped in and changed some looks. Gailey admitted Tua had never seen those looks, and he did not have him prepared for those looks. The game was still 16-13 when the change was made. 

 

Tua to Carolina

Teddy to Houston with other assets 

Watson to Miami

Why don't you simply ignore it?

Tua is a bust. No thank you.

Yes. But at the time it looked like an attempt to hurt their season.

Can we get watson instead? We can send teddy and other assests as well

[Shocker 6,555]

Tua is a much better passer than Trey Lance and I agree its really questionable that even he ends up being good.  Still, I wouldn’t give up on Tua just yet.

Seriously if we trade #8 for Tua straight up I would be pretty happy with that.

I thought I saw somewhere last week where Miami had no intentions of giving up on Tua.

Every point you made is accurate too.  Too many variables that put Tua behind the eight ball.  

What I find funny is if we draft Lance, he's going to face the same thing Tua did in Miami unless we somehow build an O-line this season. Granted he will have, by far, a better receiving corps and a solid running game but if we don't keep the pressure off him.  He's gonna have a rookie season where some are going to question the pick.

He was a better passer when at Alabama, where he was on a team that had much more talent than the opponents did.  Whether he is a better passer in the NFL with a more even distribution of talent is anyone's guess.  While the jury is still out on him, the one game I saw him play made Teddy B look like a accomplished deep ball passer by comparison.  

[kungfoodude 7,518]

Pass on Tua for us, IMO. I don't think they will move on from him so quickly, however.
