Tua wasn't lighting the league on fire before Tyreek + McDaniel, but which QB could when dealing with the worst offensive line in several years, no running game support (Myles Gaskin at RB1, not good enough to get 1 single snap from any other team after his rookie contract), league bottom WR separation, a WR room missing its starters the vast majority of his starts, and 3 offensive coordinators in his first 2 seasons? Tua's WR1 was Parker who started just 10 games that Tua started over those first 2 seasons. Hurns at WR2 was on IR all of 2020 and retired afterward. Albert Wilson at WR3 was on IR all 2020 and started 5 total games in 2021. So outside rookie Waddle in 2021, Tua was throwing to several WRs who were done in the league within 3 years. The other 2 exceptions were Jakeem Grant (9 receptions with Chicago in 2021 after being traded mid-season, not resigned afterward) and Mack Hollins (on his 3rd team in 3 seasons since leaving Miami in 2021, with 18 catches for Atlanta last year). Not a single QB would excel in that environment, to say nothing of the head coach trying to sabotage him for two years. That said, Tua's worst season still ended with 2 wins more than losses. Since then the O-Line has gotten better starting talent, and Tua has looked great when they're healthy. Tua has shown when he has serviceable blocking and missing one or two of his key playmakers (Tyreek/Waddle/Mostert/Achane), he can still win games authoritatively. He has also shown (along with basically every other QB ever) that when the line can't protect him, he looks a lot worse and his stats and chances of winning both drop noticably.

I truly believe he has everything needed to succeed and he's shown he can't. We'll see how that works out for Herbert this year, who is getting, a pretty great coach if history is any kind of indicator. Will he step up or do nothing? We'll see this year. And we'll see how Kyler does with a coach that has coached grown men vs college only. I'm not sold on Kyler either, but he's much more dynamic than Tua I would say, if nothing else.

Sometimes with a contract it’s more about the business and fans. Teams just with to sell march, tickets, get TV times maybe get a home playoff game, some of these players are popular with the fans.

He's on same page as Lawrence. He should make more then Lawrence but less then goff. Same with dak.

[@damienalston]

The only thing I don't like about shady's pre McDaniels and tyreke hill argument is that this doesn't take into account that Tua was still a young developing qb and he was playing for a coach that was a defensive guy. So I don't think he was getting the best out of tua.

[@jubilantsquirrel9040]

The carpeting that Nick does for Lawrence is wild especially compared to how he approaches someone like Hurts.

[@DolphinDave2024]

With due respect. McCoy wasn't all that to be talking about others. You had 6 1000 yd seasons, but only had 2 seasons with double digit rushing TDs.

[@cedricthorne5843]

Shady n Acho are both haters and changes there view because the producers say too. But Acho has big time hate for Hurts and it shows. How every Tua needs to have a reasonable contract ie Kyler Murry level or range any more then that cripples the dolphins and will have too hit on all picks, trades, free agents coming this year with minimum contract cost. Any higher then what is stated with security players in place then your dolphins are doomed before even getting started

[@tbrauch2017]

Tua is so much better than Hurts!!! Just ask Saban!!!!

[@Sunny-tu5ox]

What makes the dolphins situaion sticky is that the weapons you built around Tua are only going to be here for 1-2 years MAX. In the time it would take to develop another QB to work in that system, the system will already have to be overhauled. McDaniel should be the coach for the Dolphins the next 6+ years, but even if he gets paid Tua's got that same 2 year window to get them to a championship game before they need to overhaul and let Mike cook up a new system.

[@KK-yy4zs]

Shady is a Hurt guy and will always hate Tua. Tua wasn't great his first two years, but with no weapons and a head coach who did not help develop him, he still had winning seasons. No matter what, Shady will always bring up topics to serve his own narrative.

[@Stevodz6yb]

You’d think a great like shady would know that almost every qb would need help around them. Tua had almost nobody around him the first 2 years including coaching. I guess we could say Josh Allen should’ve taken a pay cut.

Cool don’t get greedy when the Super Bowl ask for whatever you want. Bring Miami a Super Bowl. I’ve been waiting since 86.😊

Shady wasn't all that. He was just a average running back and nothing else. So stop ✋️ it. 😮

[@nkodo22]

You must have started watching football yesterday. Any running back that is able to get well over 10000 yards in a career is well over average. Look at all time rushing list and where McCoy ranks. He is most likely going to be in the hall of fame at some point.

I know that there are pros and cons about this and both sides have good points. I would say that Tua should play because he already getting paid for his upcoming season and he can show Miami his potential for bigger and better things to come, plus, his playing will help Miami see for themselves how valuable he is and that should shut the door on anymore delays plus the QB prices could go higher which will make Tua richer, be there is a caution- that he stay injury free

[@calex_92]

But when it's Dak and The Cowboys it's a problem huh?.. " I agree with Shady"

[@bladeaddison3189]

Exactly Acho! The staff matters! Name a current young QB who's been great without a good coach? Lamar / Harbaugh...Pat / Reid...Purdy / Shannahan ... Hurts / Siriani ... Love / LaFleur ... Burrow / Taylor etc. The QB's that struggle have coaches who aren't equipped to help that player reach his true potential (defensive minded with no real experience developing a QB). I honestly think that's why Josh hasn't taken the next step. Losing Dabol was huge! McDermott is not a QB whisperer. Draft the talent...then have a coach who can truly coach them up and develop them. Sometimes QB's can be saved with a coaching change ... look at the jump Trevor made with Pederson. Why do you think Herbert has faded? Why has Kyler not continued to progress? Coaching matters, and FLO wasn't "him" either.

[@emmanueldean8822]

Shady is a hater. Josh Allen was trash until 14 showed up. Herbert got numbers early but not wins. Burrow had one good year with Chase and company. Go roll Tua's tape before Tyreek he's still accurate, didn't throw many picks and won games.

They were in the playoffs one of his years there. They had a good defense also. He had a winning record and got fired. They give tua the money and they will Regress.

[@mroverdose14]

9:20 Shady you just started watching Tua NOW! He's always been accurate. Processing was never bad but it was slower as a rookie and sophomore which is expected. Tua us the same guy that got back to his Alabama form post injury. He a system QB like Brady but you really think that's bad? Hill has been better with Tua than Mahomes cause of that system. Long story short, Tua BEEN this good. Unless he gets hurt or lose ALL his weapons he'll be bottom end top 5 QB stats and bottom end top 10 QB talent

[@BMax0055]

Incompetent leaders, Acho starting to get on my nerves frfr.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

if you are getting rid of Tua, who are you getting in return? he’s gonna get picked up by a desperate organization and probably win with him too. name all the QBs before Tua, a bunch of bums. only a few QBs in this year’s upcoming draft will be franchise QBs 1. Tua needs to be glad he has a job and not ask for so much money that others won’t be able to get. think about your teammates. 2. The Dolphins proving why they are currently a poverty franchise

[@adenpena3587]

Tua 32-19 as a starter, 8 game winning drives. Tua was more of a comeback artist in his early years, he's lost it lately I feel because of Mcdaniels complicated offense he has to think more. Hopefully he loses the playsheet wristband and calls his own plays this year

[@iplaytowin234]

It's crazy how they are blasting Tua. Most of those players Tua was playing with are already out of the league. Do they know that?

Josh Allen was nothing until he got some help. What has Herbet done??

I think people missing the biggest reason not to pay him yet. Tua had an issue staying healthy and bulked up in the offseason and he stayed healthy all year.
