What matters is winning a Superbowl, and over paying for a concussion-prone QB who folds in big games and spends more time on the golf course than...

I was fine with the Dolphins drafting Tua and optimistic that he could lead the team to the Superbowl. However, it was disconcerting when Coach...

The "fraud" is the teacher (s) which gave you a passing grade for reading comprehension. My position has been and continues to be that Dolphins...

I am a Dolphins fan for life. As was previously written, and I am not sure why there seems to be a reading comprehension problem here, the only...

No disrespect intended and if you have a learning disability I understand that's not your fault and difficult to manage. Again, yes I do believe...

As I previously answered, I decline your proposal. If that is still not clear enough, the answer is no. Thephins.com is the internet's finest...

My reply was within the context of the question asked of me. Reading comprehension, please.

If Mr. Ross and Grier are stupid enough to sign Tua now I want to be here when the Tua-nut-huggers realize it was a huge mistake and that they...

Yes, Tua and Trevor have had comparable pro careers; both failing during big games and, or known for late season collapses. Due to Tua's...

Cyber stalking is creepy.

You are being facetious but the reality is that the Bears, Commanders, and Patriots would prefer to try and develop a rookie QB on a rookie...

By extending Lawrence, Jacksonville management made a huge mistake. His play the past three years has been mediocre and on his rookie contract he...

Yes, I believe for this coming season the Dolphins management plans to have Tua play on the 5th year option of his rookie contract.

Correct!

I imagine that nobody here needs to read commentary about the challenges facing rookie QB's. Everybody knows that using a 1st round pick on a QB...

Exactly correct!

If 9 out of 10 posts favor Tua and, or extending his contract that's considered acceptable and not "crazy"? But 1 or 2 forum participants question...

It's a simple question requesting a yes or no answer. It's not a "stupid question". And, if you will not answer "yes" , that blows a big hole in...

Please answer this one question: Do you believe had the Dolphins offered Tua to the Bears, Commanders, or Patriots , in exchange for their top 3...

Please answer this one question: Do you believe had the Dolphins offered Tua to the Bears, Commanders, or Patriots , in exchange for their top 3...

Prior to the draft it's common for nearly every NFL team to make inquiries to the teams who hold the high first round positions. It's also common...

The discussion subject is the Dolphins drafting a rookie QB and all of the players you've listed are veteran QB's. I have no idea if Caleb...

I never wrote that the Dolphins wanted to trade him at any cost. Consider that Tua's first three years in Miami were not especially good, and it...

I wrote that it would not surprise me if Mac Jones beat out Lawrence for the Jaguars starting QB position.

Consider that Mr. Grier calls the GM's at the Bears, Commanders , Patriots and proclaims the Dolphins are interested in moving up in the draft ,...

I was banished from Tuaheaven Forum for authoring a thread topic which suggested that the Dolphins shop Tua to learn which draft pick (s) a team...

Excellent idea !

A very talented possession wide receiver.

I've written all along that the Jags should not extend Lawrence's contract and that bringing in Mac Jones to compete for the QB1 position was a...

My guess is that the Dolphins tried trading with one of the teams that had top 5 to 10 picks in the recent draft, putting out feelers to learn how...

I understand that within the Dolphins offices the recent conversation (s) are probably going something like this: Mr. Ross: "what do you want to...

What 'leverage" does Tua have?

Probably because you buy the nonsense rhetoric trotted out by the media.

I have no idea how Jones performance will be for the Jaguars, and the only way to learn is if he is given some playing time. The reality is that...

I believe it.

Kay Adams is like the fans who think stats are everything, and that's an amateurish take. The people who truly understand football recognize that...

[ATTACH]

Seems like the majority here don't watch all the Dolphins games. A person with a perspective different from yours means that person is a narcissist?

I expect that following the 2024 season the Dolphins will not be interested in using on Tua the franchise tag. My take is that the rosters for the...

Tua is free to make his decisions and live the lifestyle he chooses. But considering the back-to-back late season collapses of the Dolphins he has...

Tua is not Peyton Manning or John Elway. Do you watch NFL football games?

Tua's not Brett Favre. I've registered only the Aquapride name here at ThePhins forum. So, I am not the only one here providing commentary of...

"Entitled" is Tua having Jalen Ramsey write "'Pay Tua" on a golf scorecard. Tua has already been paid nearly $30 million during the past 4 years...

Tua is in the same category, and neither one should be offered a multi year high dollar contract. For Lawrence let him play out his rookie...

Or the Dolphins could try a new quarterback. The theme of the story you linked is that Tua-led Dolphins teams have achieved a winning record. I...

Brady, Rodgers, Favre led teams to Super Bowl wins so they earned the right to fool around playing golf. Tua has not yet earned that privilege,...

The "team friendly deal" is playing on his 5th year option for the 2024 season. For the past 4 seasons of play Tua has received approximately $30...

He's got a signed Patrick Mahomes jersey and gets to play golf everyday; so for Tua life is good.

From which medical school did you graduate?

There are several forums dedicated to Fantasy Football (individual player statistics) discussion. I suggest you visit one or two of them because...

NEWS FLASH: The quick release pass offensive strategy has failed against the team's best defenses. So, I am not sure why so many participants here...

There are currently at least 20 ridiculously overpaid NFL quarterbacks. There is no good sense reason for the Dolphins to make the same mistake so...

What you've written here is that your 8-year old daughter knows more about football than you do. So, my suggestion is that when the games start up...

I am not sure if you are brand new to watching football but please try to understand that every NFL team roster suffers injuries, it's part of the...

At week 12 the Dolphins were in position to win the AFC East and secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs. But instead of that...

I do not believe any team was willing to give up their first round draft pick to acquire Tua. My best guess is that had the Dolphins entertained...

In March of 2023 it made good sense to exercise the 5th-year option of Tua's rookie contract. For example in case the 2023 season was successful ,...

Several weeks prior to the draft I started a thread soliciting opinions for whether other teams might have an interest to trade draft pick (s) or...

For the 2022 season the Dolphins lost 4 of their final 5 regular season games. For the 2023 season the Dolphins lost 3 of their final 5 regular...

I have one account here at ThePhins , which honors the definition of forum (a place where different opinions and perspectives may be shared).. A...

You should enter Fantasy Football because those leagues are all about individual stats (rather than winning football games). It's becoming crystal...

This is basic stuff he should have learned during high school play, at Alabama, or certainly within his first two seasons as a Dolphin.

The content of your post is appropriate for 2 or 3 years ago.

By "context" do you mean excuses for losing games?

My perspective is that it was a fine decision to draft Tua and give him a chance. Really the Dolphins did more than that as they loaded up the...

You have the right to continue making excuses for why the Dolphins have had consecutive late season collapses and no playoff wins. But other fans...

Nobody said (or implied) that a QB should win a game by himself. That would be absurd because football is obviously a team game. But, Tua's had...

I've not seen Wilson or Jones play for the Dolphins so I have no idea what either of those would produce for the team. I have seen plenty of Tua...

Some fans and coaches give too much weight to stats. For example Derek Carr received a contract extension followed by another big contract because...

The problem is that Dan seems to consider the goal of an NFL football team should be to have a QB who produces certain stats, while other fans...

Any participant who has a different perspective from Dan=troll.

I like it! OL cohesiveness is underrated and 4 to 6 guys remaining together season after season is very helpful.

You bring up a good point because I believe that some fans consider 'winning season' to be the goal (rather than properly building a team capable...

What does Zach Wilson have to do with Tua's play?

For the 2022 and 2023 seasons the Dolphins roster was loaded good, especially 2023. For 2024, with a significantly depleted roster, if Tua plays...

Tua has had significantly more weapons that Dak.

Both Tua and Dak have had more than enough time to prove themselves capable of winning playoff games and making it to the Superbowl. Both have...

NFL defenses do not allow much "elite pocket play", which is why NFL teams now draft somewhat mobile quarterbacks.

A more mobile QB would help the cause.

She should have suggested (or at least acknowledged) that the Dolphins can play him on the 5th year option of his rookie contract.

Yes it matters, but more than anything else the Dolphins player injuries are evidence of a poorly managed organization. For example, disciplined...

For the 2022 season the Dolphins lost 3 of their last 5 games. For the 2023 season the Dolphins lost 4 of their last 5 games.

The Dolphins have had back-to-back years of late season collapses. This is the hallmark of an average team, not a "dominant" one.

The media has hyped Tua's QB strengths ever since his high school days with little to no criticism.

I don't speak for you, but my own perspective is that Tua seems to be a nice guy but is perhaps a player who doesn't work as hard as some or maybe...

QB coach and physical trainer should have happened 4 or 5 years ago.

It is well known that at Alabama Coach Saban was critical of Tua's propensity to gain weight. And once Tua turned pro former Dolphins coach Flores...

McDaniels play calling is adequate. The problem is the the team's execution, especially OL play.

When did "Pro Bowl QB" become the justification for overpaying for a QB? Derek Carr has been named to the Pro Bowl multiple times, has signed...

It's one thing to pay a QB on a rookie contract and it's an entirely different thing to pay a QB 25%+ of the payroll for the entire roster.

Peyton Manning was in shape and had a tremendous work ethic.

You seem to be ignoring the most relevant fact, which is that Tua is at the end of his rookie contract.

Yes, but only because the Dolphins have already given Tua 4-seasons , which is more than enough time to get playoff wins or a Super Bowl appearance.

You are correct, the majority of teams do pay the "going rate" for a QB so the media and fans label that man a "franchise QB". But for the...

Now you're singing my song and so should agree that overpaying for Tua (or any other QB) is a mistake.

I don't believe anybody is saying that Tua is a bad quarterback and, or was responsible for losing games.

Or, had Buffalo spread the Allen-money around to different positions, the Bills might have won a Super Bowl.

Yes, the Bills have made a mistake overpaying for Josh Allen.

My point has nothing to do with the salary cap. It's about paying too much money for one position. Teams will improve when the money is more...

I know exactly how the cap works, and why so many teams make the mistake of extending and or signing a QB for too many years at too much money....

My "end game" is to have the Dolphins play in the Super Bowl, and for that to happen improvement is needed from the coaching staff and the roster....

Listed below are twelve QB's and their salaries, 11 of which are overpaid and because of it their team will suffer for the next few years. I...

If you want complaining, this is nothing. If Tua signs an extension and shows up 20 pounds over weight to throw interceptions and after a Dolphins...

If the choice is between now signing Tua to a 5-year $250 million contract or playing one or two of the names on the list as a bridge QB, yes I...

BPA is rhetoric trotted out by GM's. When Reggie McKenzie was GM of the Raiders he talked about BPA but always drafted those who played a position...

That place allows only pro-Tua commentary.

It should be renamed Tuaheaven because any participant who questions Tua's worth is banned.

You sir know and understand football!

The irony here is that you do not realize how valuable Fields could have been to the Dolphins (in exchange for a 4th or 5th round pick).

Tua improving his golf game: [ATTACH]

Except it's not trolling, it's reality. Consider that after going all-in for the 2022 and 2023 seasons, now the consequence is cap issues, which...

I am advocating for the Dolphins to assemble a roster and coaching staff capable of actually winning playoff games and, or a Super Bowl victory.

For his 4-years in a Dolphins uniform Tua has received $30 million, so he's already been paid.

What's the point of the QB-draft content here? Everybody knows that most QB's drafted into the NFL do not stick, and it is rare that s 1st round...

The odds of the Dolphins having an 11 or 12 win 2024 season are about 10-1, maybe less than 10%. Remember, for the 2022 and 2023 seasons the team...

To acquire Fields Pittsburgh gave up a 5th round draft pick. The Dolphins absolutely should have bettered that offer to secure his services. For...

I guess the most likely scenario is that were Tua to play 2024 on his 5th-year option the Dolphins would finish in the range of 7 to 9 wins and a...

Just to confirm, I proffered several potential-Dolphins-bridge-QB-names, but you guys don't like any of them. Instead you prefer to now have Tua...

Yes, that is a viable strategy until the team is able to draft and develop a rookie QB who leads the Dolphins to playoff game victories.

Good sense commentary!

Besides MIlls or Winston other veteran QB's the Dolphins could likely acquire for little money and take a shot with are Tyrod Taylor, Kenny...

Davis Mills is an accurate passer like Tua. Another option is Jameis Winston, a QB who would add the dimension of running to the Dolphins offense.

I was fine with the Dolphins drafting him and a year or two ago I was still optimistic about Tua's prospects.

In addition to the draft, signing vets to 1-year contracts is another viable option. A year ago Tampa Bay did it for Mayfield and for the 2024...

It's not just Daniel Jones. Look at the list below, which essentially reveals 18 overpaid quarterbacks and Mahomes. To the detriment of their...

So you don't like the idea of paying Tua $23 million for 2024 and $43 million for 2025? You would prefer to pay him more money, that is $50...

For the Dolphins DeVante made some amazing sideline catches.

What "we have" is a an accurate short to middle range passer who struggles when pressured, is unable to extend plays, and proven injury prone....

The 2024 season will be the 4th year of Waddle's rookie contract, and for 2025 the Dolphins may play him using the 5th-year option. The discussion...

Putting someone on ignore is a sign of ignorance.

Obviously Tua's ability to release the ball quickly is one of his strengths. The whole world knows that, even you. But what you've apparently...

I am down with the strategy you've proposed. There is no question the Dolphins organizations pulled out all the stops to try and make the...

Good question!

What I was doing was trying to initiate a constructive dialogue about options for the Dolphins. Discussing trade options for Tua is not a...

I started two threads. One suggesting the Dolphins consider trading Tua for Fields. When that one was moved to the locker I started a second...

Agreed, but it's been proven by (losses to the best teams and 2nd half of the season collapses the past 2 years) that the current scheme will not...

Yes, I understand it is common practice for teams to defer money so that impact to salary cap is postponed, but I consider that to be a nonsense...

I believe Tua's rookie contract 5th year option salary is $23 million for the 2024 season and I am ok with the Dolphins doing that. I don't know...

Are you referring to Flores supposed preference to draft Herbert instead of Tua? Without having seen Herbert play for the Dolphins it's impossible...

The Oregon center Powers-Johnson can if needed probably play guard, maybe even tackle.

Which positions have the highest "hit rates"? OL and DL? I certainly agree that a goal for each draft should be to acquire players who will be a...

Signing Tua now to a multi year hundreds of millions of dollars contract and then hoping his play improves seems like a backwards plan. For the...

Too many people on internet discussion forums seem to define a troll as any person with an opinion or perspective different from their own.

I am new member here because I was banned from Finheaven for starting a thread that the Dolphins should consider any trade offers for Tua. The...

The statistic that matters is playoff wins. Too much credit is given to QB's who compile big numbers of yardage, completions, TD's etc...during...

I guess if Tua was on a team with an OL effective enough to keep pressure off him he could lead that team well into the playoffs and perhaps the...

I never have written "Tua sucks". I've written that the Dolphins gave him a good 4-year try and it has now become clear that for the team to...

I realize it's a long shot, but my hope is that another team contacts the Dolphins offering a 1st round draft pick for Tua and the Dolphins do the...

On the field following the recent playoff loss to the Chiefs Tua approached Mahomes and asked him for a signed jersey.

Concerns about Tua's weight were discussed during Tua's playing career at Alabama. It was fine that the Dolphins took a shot and used their high...

You define a "troll" as someone with a different opinion from yours?

Suggesting that it would not be good for the Dolphins to sign Tua to a big new contract is trolling?

The answer is no, which is why the Dolphins should either trade Tua now for draft picks or let him the play the 2024 season on the 5th year option...
