Absolutely.
One area off the top of my head would be how long he sometimes holds the ball in the pocket. Tua isn't bad (AJ had/has a much bigger problem with this) but there is room for improvement.

He’s had a couple of clock management problems. That could be fixed and I expect it will. Not much to improve tbh

Yes. He will be even better next year.

He can drink more milk for healthier bones.

No.

He's only played like 15 quarters of football.
Was that a serious question?

every attempted pass is a 99 yard TD completion.

I think he's getting better by the game.

Exactly. Look back to how much better guys like Peyton Manning's and Drew Brees were later in their NFL career vs their rookie year. Especially in Peyton Manning's case, he looked NFL ready since his college sophomore year - in his NFL rookie year, he threw a record 28 interceptions.
As good as Tua looks now, he will end up getting a lot better.

Peyton Manning wears Tua pajamas.

Of course. He hasn't hit his peak physical strength (arm and overall) so physically he will get better. He is good a treading defenses for a college QB but he isn't at the level of NFL QBs in that respect yet. He still throws into situations that would be picks at the next level so plenty of room to improve on decision-making (particularly the speed of making the right decision).

I don't know though. Not only does he have a great ability to read defenses but keeping them honest. We get big plays because he does not give away on down field plays where he is going. The opposing DBs have to stay honest. Many other QBs I see give it away in college way to early and allow a S to cheat over. One of the reasons I believe he has yet to throw a pick. He is also great at throwing to only where the WR can get it. I have seen some of our WRs in double coverage and only they can catch it. Even if a DB can make a play it looks at best to maybe bat it down but not able to intercept it. I also like the way he can keep a WR in their stride on routes. Makes the offense that much more explosive.
Can he improve yes but I am not sure it will matter.

You can always improve at anything you do but he has played as close to perfect in these first 6 games as humanly possible, I believe.

All true.

But this part makes me question how closely you watch #13
He dissects defenses and makes lightning quick decisions better than most QBs I’ve ever seen at the collegiate level. He’s not 100% perfect, but I can’t remember even seeing a guy this polished this early in his career. It’s entering into previously unheard of levels. He’s deadly accurate, he processes things quickly and makes the right decision at a much higher percentage of the time than he has any business doing at 20 years old.
Also he’s great in the pocket. He’s been sacked only twice all year and he has quite a few plays where you can watch him climb the pocket, keep his eyes downfield, and deliver a strike.

In terms of stats - no.
In terms of skill and understanding and command against good defenses - yes. Of course we will need to play some good defenses to establish a baseline.

Of course he can improve. Now that doesn't necessarily mean his stats next year will be better than this season's.

True. Nobody wants to call Tua what he really is out of fear of being a homer or "going there" but he is the best college quarterback I have seen in my 42 years up to this point. Not close either.

We finally agree on something.
This kid is probably the best QB talent in college football history.

Not something I've wanted to say because I know I have some Bama bias, but I really think he may be the best college QB ever. Certainly the best I've ever seen.
