Only way it happens is by the hubris of an offensive coach

Mike McDaniel I could see if Tua is off the table. He's already headed to minimum 4 week IR, maybe after a few more games the price will be a little nicer for them. Can Bryce beat out Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley? Close call on that one

It could happen.  But personally I don't think so.  I think Mike knows they're cooked with Tua at QB, and he won't be eager to take on the project of fixing a scuffed version of Tua.  But again, hubris can go a long way.  All it takes is 1 coach with influence to say "I can fix him"

Why would the Dolphins, with a dynamic high octane downfield passing attack, give up draft capital, and a player, to bring in someone that has shown no ability to drive the ball down the field? I get they are maybe in the qb market, but that is not a fit.

If Tua is done then I'd probably just grab Tannehill if I was them

I think it was announced today on nfl network that Tua will be on 8 week IR. I may have misheard that though.

I think league wide it's minimum 4 weeks but maybe they're anticipating it being longer depending on the doctors. Second time having that fencing with his hands is super scary though. Wasn't even that hard of a hit into a guys chest pads

I know it was 4th down, but its a regular season game where you're already down 21 points.  Just slide man.  That was painful to watch.

Honestly, I'd say no.  fuger hasnt shown the fire to try to get better since he got here and I'll be damned if we give him his get out of jail free card like what happened with Baker or Darnold.  Id be furious if he ends up on another team and ends up looking decent to good because that would show that just like Baker in particular, he finally decided to try again.  As such, keep his shitty ass on the bench, either he improves and shows hes not the trashiest qb on earth for us at some point, or we keep him there so that his career dies on the vine and he goes down as the biggest bust in NFL history.  No jumping ship or change of scenery to "regain confidence", either figure your poo out here, or lose your career, the end.  Also compensation would be trash, so not even worth it.

Baker is more athletic with a big arm.....plus he is not a shrimp. He just had to get his head on straight to succeed.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
