Dolphins place Tua in IR

Just reported by adam schefter.

now that Huntley signing makes even less sense.. here i thought they were expecting Tua to return much sooner and thats why they went for huntley.. theres got to be better options

I agree. Huntley was on a practice squad for a reason.

Grier's incompetence is unbelievable. He had all offseason to get a competent backup for an injury prone Tua and best we could do is Skylar Thompson? Now we are scrambling to find some pactice squad QBs from other teams mid season.

Inexcusable.

There is no reason not to keep pursuing other options. Im willing to give up to a fourth round pick for Jimmy G.. im serious..

Call Tannehill again.. we can not be serious with Skylar and Huntley.. you may as well just tell the fans and the locker room the season is over after 2 games.

we have prime time games coming up as well, one of them is in two weeks at home on MNF.. come on grier…

I think reality is Tannehill doesn't want to play for Miami lol. Like F them

Healthy Hill and Waddle is all that matters. Plug and play QB system, am I right?

Even if trading assets for some teams backup is a good idea the other team still has to want to do that

I think he's basically retired. He had a perfect opportunity to compete for a starting position against backups in Minnesota and GB but apparently that's not good enough. If that's not good enough, then nothing is. I think he's made his decision to retire, excepting some rare case where he might be guaranteed the starting role without a competition.

McDaniel is 1-7 without Tua. The one win being a 9-6 win against the Jets.

Tannehill has said this already.

Walsh, Lombardi and Shula wouldn’t have a winning record with the QBs we’ve trotted out when Tua has been out.

Is it too early to start tanking for Arch Manning? Throw in the towel for the next two seasons and trade Tyreek & Waddle for a bunch of 2026 1st rounders. This team is going nowhere without Tua. We'll be 1-6 by the time he's ready to play and by then what's the point?

Skylar Thompson is great at throwing the ball into the bleachers. He literally can’t do anything else.

Teddy was considered very serviceable before coming to Miami

Listen to this NFL medical specialist.

True, but he was disinterested and terrible while he was here.

I wouldn’t really listen too much to a physical
therapist about concussions. I didn’t listen to his video, so maybe he’s spot on with whatever he said, but my bet is it’s just clickbait.

Should not have let White go

Was very disappointed in him. Was excited when he was signed, but he looked clearly like he only wanted a paycheck.

You know what always amazes me? Dan Marino. I know he is more of just a figure head in the organization, but you would think that when he talks to all the guys in charge he expressed his concerns, desires and what's best for them at least from for the QB position, it would carry some weight. I mean his opinion has to carry some weight in that regard. It's amazing that he would support drafting Tua and then, especially support giving him such a big contract based on what we've seen. Tua, altogether, has missed almost an entire season worth of games. I would love to hear his real opinion, but he will never say anything.. He'll always tow the company line.

Tua has missed 6 or 7 games due to injury.

He's a "special advisor", which is a pretty non-descript term. That could be anything from a consultant to a board member when talking about a business (all depends on how much influence Ross wants to give him). So he almost certainly is honest in private, but as long as he has that kind of role where he doesn't have much real power he can't be saying things in public that would create the perception of conflict within the organization. So who knows what he really thinks.

Its not like they didn't have the option to bring him back. They didn't because he was terrible and there was no reason to.

I never said anything about him saying things in public and I mentioned his role on the team. I mean with guy like Dan Marino, you would think his opinion would carry some weight, especially regarding the QB position. It just surprise me.
