[@williamwright7892]

Tua is one of those QBs it is hard to figure out what you should do with. On one hand, he can consistently (when healthy that is) get your team above .500, and even get you to the playoffs. This side of the coin makes it hard to move away from this sort of QB. On the other hand though, it is clear he struggles against the elite teams of the NFL, and can't really get you past the 1st round of the playoffs. This side of the coin says to try and fine someone better. Really, the Dolphins could do much worse than Tua, but also do better than Tua. Do you look to fix the rest of your team and keep a solid QB like Tua, or do you want a top 10 QB, in which case might need to move on from Tua.

[@parrott113]

Agreed and Tua only looks decent cause of his weapons that he can't elevate or beat the good teams with. I'm a fins fan and never wanted an injury prone qb in top 5

[@LS-pv4dh]

If not him, then who??? Qbs are tough to develop. Top 15 Qbs write their own ticket, every yr. Obliterating the market every time. They better resign unless they gotta clear contingency program in place.

They are running a version of Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colt quick passing game offensive. The problem with that kind of offensive your defensive get worn out because it on the field all the time. They need to get their offensive line better and get a better ground and pound running game to give them a rest and ware down the defensive in 4 quarter.

Tua statistically his numbers were great thanks for his head coach and the players around him but Tua needs to play better in the playoffs. If the Ravens want to win the SB Lamar has to showed up in the playoffs. He has choked and underwhelmed in the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023 playoffs.

Tua is a fatter, slower, shorter, weaker armed version of Ryan Tanahill. Make him prove he can play against the good teams or he can walk. Ain’t no team in the league looking to acquire choke artist Tua.

[@bryangonzalez4604]

No because Tua is getting more mobile and leaner and he’s not a choke artist you keep on forgetting football is a team sport not just the QB. Sure some of it is his fault but most of the blame goes to bad OL, bad playcalling, and defense being too tired because offense can’t do consistent drives. Think twice before posting a comment like that. Allen and Lamar have choked more than Tua has even Prescott.
