That was the side of Tua that made him a top 5 pick. If he cleans up the dumb shite Miami would be dominating this game.

Have you even seen a flag for holding called and then the flag picked up?

Tua needs out of Miami. It's a toxic organization. Tua takes the lead with 2 minutes left...and on Atlanta's first play the Miami D leaves Pitts wide open. Tua hasn't had the starting WRs on the field all season. The OL obviously blows. I don't think he's happy at all there...and who can blame him. Herbert and Burrow have better teams around them... that's just fact. Tua can succeed...he just needs out of Miami.

Mac looked great today again...as did Harris. Mac is making several teams have draft regrets.

If Mac ends up being really good, and I think he will, it'll be interesting to see if it changes the narrative that only QBs who are highly mobile with a huge arm can be franchise players.

And imagine having to play under the constant talk of trade rumors. Tua learning to play under adversity early in his nfl career.

Jon Grundon is out of the league yet rumors of Watson trades going on.

Dophins aren't a good team.

On Sunday, Mac Jones became the fourth rookie quarterback all-time with at least 225 passing yards and a touchdown pass in five consecutive games, joining Dak Prescott (eight in 2016), Justin Herbert (seven in 2020) and Deshaun Watson (five in 2017), per NFL release.

Coming off major injury, Tua gets no real preseason last year. He's then thrown into starting even though Fitzpatrick was playing well. Fine... he's your #5 overall pick...but then they bizarrely bench him and reinsert Fitzpatrick if he makes any mistakes. The guy hasn't even had a chance to develop without worrying about being benched or traded. Miami's public flirtations with Happy Ending have been pathetic. Tua's mental state can't be good. And the thing is, he has NOT played horribly...yes, he's made mistakes like most young QBs, but he's held to some higher standard than any other QBs. It's a little bizarre. But he needs OUT of Miami. Where to? Denver would be my top pick out of the teams really in the chatter, but he'd be awesome in Peyton's system in New Orleans. But at this point even a rebuilding Houston would be a better situation for him.

We've gone from Tanking for Tua to Attacking Tua within 18 months. I still think he can be a very good franchise QB with just an average OL and some hint of a running game.

I think the media is after Tua because he's a Christian who openly professes his faith.

Ehhh

The Dolphins had unreal expectations coming into this season. They picked up Will Fuller in the off-season and he has barely played. When he has he’s done nothing. Their other Star WR hasn’t played much. Waddle is their only threat at WR.

They have supposedly 2 of the best corners and they’ve done nothing. They have no pass rush…. Etc.

Tua just gets the blame because of the expectations the team had by the media and fans. That team is shite this year.

I loved how Tua responded to the horrible mistake he made with the blind throw interception and the ensuing TD. He also took his team to another TD right after Falcons had completed an impressive drive. Heck a 90 yd drive to take the lead with 2 minutes to go and Miami D couldn’t hold it. Their Coach backed Tua while blaming the defense. Tua’s competitiveness will make him successful barring any more debilitating injuries.

It's like they expect him to be an all pro already and not make rookie mistakes like all other rookie qbs. Miami as an organization is terrible. They traded away Minkah and Drake because they didn't know how to use them. That should tell you something.

Mac looked downright nimble on a third-down scramble yesterday. He looked twice as fast as any time he ran at UA last year.

Minkah wanted out because they were asking him to play all over the field and he couldn’t hone his skills in one area. Tannehill is the perfect example of what happens when you build a team around someone. He’s not been great in the playoffs, but he’s been pretty good in the regular season, at least better than he was in Miami. Look how long Miami gave him too.

The NFL has turned into QBs being held to unrealistic expectations because of guys like Mahomes, Lamar, and Murray. They became superstars so quickly that other franchises expect that now. People need to realize that the QB talent has been generational lately. There’s a chance that Murray, Dak, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert could all be HOFers barring injuries. That’s insane
