And Tua is still participating in OTA’s… just not all of them.

 

Dolphins safety, ex-Bill Jordan Poyer calls Josh Allen 'the best quarterback in the league'

https://www.nfl.com/news/dolphins-s...josh-allen-the-best-quarterback-in-the-league

“Teammates, coaches, everybody, man, I loved every moment of it. Sorry we couldn't get it done, but you've got the best quarterback in the league. I know that might go viral, but it's OK.”

 

Trolls going to troll.

 

He's a good QB, and certainly owns us. But he's not the best.

 

Obviously, the team knew about the charity function ahead of time.

I understand you wanting the team to be better. We all want that. But it's already been shown that Tua is taking this offseason extremely seriously. Him missing one voluntary OTA - especially for charity - isn't something to blow a gasket over.

 

He's using reverse psychology silly boy.

 

Allen's a good athlete.

 

We like to think of football players as automatons. They are not. This is hardly something to get worked up about.

Eh, it may have been an overreaction to the concussions, but considering he avoided them last year it may have been worthwhile to have the bulk. Now with a healthy season full of using his tackling avoidance/falling techniques he can slim down a bit again. I doubt running will ever be a big part of his game, and to be blunt, it's not a requirement. But it is helpful in situations where there is an open lane to take the yards, especially if you can pick up third downs. I have very little interest in seeing him challenge defenders though.

 

Troll post

 

Please no.

A completely negative troll post!!!!
You are being checked!!
We have a standard!!!

 

Tua is listed #14 on PFF's list. It doesn't bug me because of the 13 in front of him, I'd only take about five back in a trade. And of the other eight, it's six-of-one-and-half-dozen-of-the-other type of difference between them and Tua. It's just funny how PFF prides itself on objective analysis but resorts to opinions to sort the wheat from the chaff.

The list follows:
Tier 1: Mahomes

• 1: Patrick Mahomes
  

Tier 2: The Elite

• 2: Lamar Jackson
  
  
• 3: Joe Burrow
  
  
• 4: Josh Allen
  

Tier 3: Postseason-Caliber QBs

• 5: Justin Herbert
  
  
• 6: Dak Prescott
  
  
• 7: Matthew Stafford
  
  
• 8: Aaron Rodgers
  
  
• 9: Jalen Hurts
  
  
• 10: CJ Stroud
  

Tier 4: The Melting Pot of Starters

• 11: Jordan Love
  
  
• 12: Trevor Lawrence
  
  
• 13: Brock Purdy
  
  
• 14: Tua Tagovailoa
  
  
• 15: Kirk Cousins
  
  
• 16: Jared Goff
  
  
• 17: Kyler Murray
  
  
• 18: Geno Smith
  
  
• 19: Caleb Williams
  

Tier 5: Can Single-handedly win and lose games

• 20: Baker Mayfield
  
  
• 21: Derek Carr
  
  
• 22: Russel Wilson
  
  
• 23: DeShaun Watson
  

Tier 6: The Next Generation

• 24: Anthony Richardson
  
  
• 25: Bryce Young
  
  
• 26: Jacoby Brissett/Drake Maye
  
  
• 27: Jayden Daniels
  
  
• 28: Will Levis
  

Tier 7: The Holdovers

• 29: Daniel Jones
  
  
• 30: Aidan O’Connel/Gardner Minshew
  
  
• 31: Sam Darnold/JJ McCarthy
  
  
• 32: Jarrett Stidham/Bo Nix

Here's their breakdown of #1:

It was the best season yet for the former No. 5 overall pick, as the talented Tagovailoa earned the highest passing grade in the regular season of any quarterback (88.9) and made 35 big-time throws, good for third in the league. However, his 3.5% turnover-worthy play rate was higher than every other quarterback in the top five of big-time throws, and his 25 turnover-worthy plays were the fifth most.

When the play goes according to plan, Tua can be a surgeon; he had the lowest time to throw of any starting quarterback (2.33 seconds). But interestingly enough, he had the most turnover-worthy plays in the NFL when there was no pressure. His grade takes a significant dip when he is pressured, but he can still be productive if what he expects to see is there.

Tua’s arm is adequate for the NFL level, but it doesn't get him out of trouble. either. He trusts head coach and play-caller Mike McDaniel a lot, which is a good thing, but there are times when he is too reliant on what the play should be and not what the best decision actually is post-snap.

Dude, you are truly nuts. Your posts are truly nuts. There is no standard anywhere for your babble.

So, stop with your negative and hypocritical BS or you will get checked.

 

So he he had the highest pass grade and the 7th highest overall grade and they rank him 14th? Okay, sure.

 

He's already sacrificing his time to do what he can to improve as a quarterback. And he's been doing that ever since he got into the league. And no matter what the circumstances, it's just not reasonable to expect any player to eat, breathe, and sleep football 24/7.

 

That's what I meant about how they try to pretend their stats give them objective reasons to make their analyses but then cloud their articles with subjective opinions. Context has to put stats into perspective, but individual opinions influence context.

 

His training, Nick Hicks, confirmed he put the weight on to try and avoid injury and insinuated it was done at the team's recommendation.

 

One thing I think you are overlooking is that Tua is likely one of the "stars" of the golf event. If he pulled out at the last minute (insert joke), he would have left Saban and the event in a bind. It was bad timing on the part of the event organizers to have it at a time when OTAs may occur and a lack of planning on Tua's part to commit to the event when there was a chance it could conflict.

 

• Tyreek has led the league in receiving for several seasons and still has a chip on his shoulder.
• Waddle is just a ball of energy ready to explode at any minute both in terms of his physical ability and his personality
• Tua leads by teaching

 

I agree that the offense should improve this year by not being as dependent on those two

But I meant that despite being considered one of the best WR in the league Tyreek works so hard at his craft because he still feels he has something to prove.

Submitted for the "There's No Excuse For Having A Fat QB" crowd (and also for the "Tua's not participating in offseason activities" doomers):

 

The "doomer" reference was toward those who thought he was holding out. Stop being so sensitive.

 

But that's exactly why he isn't gonna be as great as them. He doesn't care enough. Those guys wanted to be THE BEST. Anything less wasn't good enough. Just like Jordan.

 

Well, maybe it's because they don't feel that Tua was as responsible for those stats as you do? I dunno, but it's one of the few things that makes sense when you see stuff like this.
