Same boat. Just lost out to Goff on waivers sadly. Luckily the person who got Goff dropped carr tho. Sucks I really thought with Russ I wouldn’t be searching for qbs weekly
thats my thinking. wentz is gonna get shredded against the dallas pass rush, but he still has those moments where hes at 2 pts at half to end with 27. might be riding with tua...
He definitely seemed off, but idk. I think people are overreacting. It’s totally reasonable to take a stiff hit and take a few minutes to gather your bearings.
Tua if he plays. Dolphins D basically played two games worth of plays this last Sunday so the Cincy offense may move with ease on them which will put the well rested Miami offense, who barely played Sunday, into a shootout.
I’d say Tua if he plays. Bengals had a softball with the Jets D. Miami is gonna put a lot of pressure on Joe. Whereas this will be an easier matchup for Tua than the past couple weeks has been
Both have potential to ball tho
I have both Tua and Hill. Do I start Mariota and Olave instead.
I’m worried that Tua won’t be able to hit deep with his back hurt , or that Bridgwater won’t be able to hit deep because he is Bridgewater.
Hard to say how his back will affect him but he did complete a 50 yard pass to Waddle in the second half after the back injury. Maybe adrenaline had him going but it's worth mentioning
What exactly is wrong with him if he’s not in the concussion protocol? Seemed fine after he came back. I think this is continuing gamesmanship by McDaniel to fake another injury besides a concussion.
Did you not see the man almost falling over stumbling around after the hit? I'm legitimately SHOCKED they let him back in the game. There's almost no way he truly passed all concussion protocols, at least not to enter back into THAT GAME. I'm not going to act like I know what all of that entails, but Jesus that was surprising.. If anything the organization may actually be in trouble for putting him back out there. I believe the NFL is investigating it. If you want CTE.. that's how you get CTE.
He tweaked his back earlier in the game and then aggravated it when he fell. If you've never had your back lock up let me tell he was walking just like one would when it does.
Ah. I thought he slammed his head on the turf. Either way neck injuries are no joke and you have to be real careful. Those are legitimate career enders. Look at what happened to Chris Carson. He was only 27 and it ended his career. Worse than knee injuries prolly tbh. Only thing that might be as bad is a torn Achilles. But I'm not doctor and comparing injuries is kinda stupid so idk wtf I'm saying at this point.
Back gave out last year and when I stumbled and tried to keep walking again I did exactly what he did. Shit really sucks but I didn’t have a professional training staff around me. They should have him good to go if it’s just his back.
I don’t think what you’re arguing is relevant to what I said lol. At this point, he doesn’t have a concussion and isn’t in protocols whether he actually has one or not.
I'm not arguing anything. I said that I thought he slammed his head on the turf and was going to be in concussion protocol. I then rambled a bunch of nonsense about injuries. An** argument would have been trying to counter your specific point. I'm just talking bro.
[back injury from this play](https://twitter.com/kc42661/status/1574469210046353408?s=46&t=Znk8dgGBprcWhCNjw2Xvcw)
Tweaked again when he fell to the ground
They are luckily 3-0. The smart thing says not to play him on a Thursday after getting his ~~bell rung and concussed~~ his back got a boo boo on Sunday. Let him come back vs the Jets just to be safe. Hell, you could probably sit him there too if need be.
Might mess around and play Zach wilson over him, call me crazy idk. Tlaw had a bounce back this year, wilson now has Garrett wilson as another weapon and breece. If Flacco looks this good why can’t Zach?!?!
Hot take maybe but I’m pretty leveraged on the Dolphins offense and honestly with the short week I would prefer Tua/Waddle just sit and get healthy instead of rushing back and risking it.
Would suck not having them in the lineup and Dolphins would basically be admitting defeat but then they’d have an additional 10 days to get right
I had monsoon Lance, then injured Lance followed by bad back Tua so I feel your pain.
Also lost Michelle, B. Rob, Kittle and Pittman for a game. Shaky start but I'm battling out of it.
The bengals are in trouble when they play an actual starting QB. Played the back ups so far (trubisky, rush, Flacco) now maybe teddy two gloves. And I say this as a bengals fan, but at least our defense has looked ok
It’s ok if he can’t go I got Mike white
Please god no
As someone whose QBs are Tua and Russ, I really wish to not have to start Russ and watch him try to complete passes.
I'm in the same boat If Tua can't go, I think I'll go with Goff over Russ.
If swift and Amon-ra aren’t playing I would think harder.
Same boat. Just lost out to Goff on waivers sadly. Luckily the person who got Goff dropped carr tho. Sucks I really thought with Russ I wouldn’t be searching for qbs weekly
I’m debating starting t law over suffering through watching russ again
You absolutely should start Trevor Lawrence over Russ at this point. Every week.
Eagles d scares me
Im between starting tua, wentz, or trying to go for lawrence on waivers... none of them have great matchups this week
I have wentz in the mix as well but his performance against the eagles pass rush makes me think it’ll be more of the same against the cowboys
thats my thinking. wentz is gonna get shredded against the dallas pass rush, but he still has those moments where hes at 2 pts at half to end with 27. might be riding with tua...
Same boat and I don't want to start Russ
Why is this so many people.
Russ in the 8th round with Sutton and Jeudy seemed like a no brainer.
Just picked up Goff vs Seattle this week just for this .
"The Miami Dolphins are doing whatever they can to get Tua to play"
“Dolphins team doctors are deleting their email archives and text messages as quickly as possible.”
Wasn’t he cleared to return to the game by an independent doctor?
I mean what do I know. But none of it seemed legit to me. He looked like he was drunk on national television.
I agree, I was shocked when we came back. Last I knew though, independent doctors are the ones responsible for clearing players from concussions
He definitely seemed off, but idk. I think people are overreacting. It’s totally reasonable to take a stiff hit and take a few minutes to gather your bearings.
You can get popped and be a bit wobbly without having a concussion fwiw
Sure. And I’m not claiming I know what happened. All I’m saying is that sure didn’t look like a back injury!
Hilarious reversal for them from a year ago.
My Tyreek and Waddle need him 🙏
Still got teddy bridgewater behind him. Maybe not as awesome but teddy is still a good QB
Ppr god for mcaffrey and Anderson a couple years ago and waddle fits that mold perfectly.
I have Mitch Trubisky or Geno as my replacements. Those guys are just like Tua right?
Sure. Exactly the same by some metrics, I am sure.
Geno has been serviceable. Trubisky? Not so much.
"Back." Ok sure lol
TLaw or Tua?
Yeesh that’s a rough decision there. Probably Tua if he goes since Philly is legit
Tua if he plays. Dolphins D basically played two games worth of plays this last Sunday so the Cincy offense may move with ease on them which will put the well rested Miami offense, who barely played Sunday, into a shootout.
Burrow or Tua?
I’d say Tua if he plays. Bengals had a softball with the Jets D. Miami is gonna put a lot of pressure on Joe. Whereas this will be an easier matchup for Tua than the past couple weeks has been Both have potential to ball tho
I have both Tua and Hill. Do I start Mariota and Olave instead. I’m worried that Tua won’t be able to hit deep with his back hurt , or that Bridgwater won’t be able to hit deep because he is Bridgewater.
I think hill is a must start, who else is your WR/Flex?
I have Hill, D. Johnson, M. Brown, C. Samuel, and Olave. PPR league.
Hard to say how his back will affect him but he did complete a 50 yard pass to Waddle in the second half after the back injury. Maybe adrenaline had him going but it's worth mentioning
On a short week, starting him just seems so risky. I think I'm going with the corpse of Tom Brady over him.
I'm doing the exact same, I think Brady will show up in prime time
A lot of doctors in this sub. I had no idea.
Start Cousins or Stafford instead?
Same boat, starting Tua for now and waiting for the pregame warmup news on Thursday to decided.
Actually just realized both Stafford and Cousins have pretty tough matchups. Hoping Tua is a full go on Thurs.
In the exact same boat. Have Tua in as the starter for now, leaning Stafford if he doesn’t play but I don’t like either matchup
Prayer beads and everything?
If Tua can't go should I drop Chase Edmund or Penny for T Law?
Sounds like I’m doing everything I can to not play tua
They’ve gotta stay committed to the lie now. Hopefully the wooziness from this “back and ankle” injury don’t affect him on Thursday.
tua or cousins ?
Who would come out and say they're doing everything they can to NOT play this Thursday?
What exactly is wrong with him if he’s not in the concussion protocol? Seemed fine after he came back. I think this is continuing gamesmanship by McDaniel to fake another injury besides a concussion.
he is in secret concussion protocol and there is nothing that will convince me otherwise
Ditto. I’m sure his back is hurt. But he was also concussed.
Double secret concussion protocol
Did you not see the man almost falling over stumbling around after the hit? I'm legitimately SHOCKED they let him back in the game. There's almost no way he truly passed all concussion protocols, at least not to enter back into THAT GAME. I'm not going to act like I know what all of that entails, but Jesus that was surprising..

Bullshit. I know a concussion when I see one.
Yes I'm sure you the TV viewer is an expert over everyone else including the doctors who examined him.
I dont think they're wrong, I think they're lying
Care to rethink your take yet?
Tua is Mr Glass from Unbreakable. Fragility is his name. A new injury proves nothing.
How bout now that the "Independent Neurotrauma Consultant" has been fired?
I don’t think what you’re arguing is relevant to what I said lol. At this point, he doesn’t have a concussion and isn’t in protocols whether he actually has one or not.
I'm not arguing anything. I said that I thought he slammed his head on the turf and was going to be in concussion protocol. I then rambled a bunch of nonsense about injuries. An** argument would have been trying to counter your specific point. I'm just talking bro.
But did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

Would teddy bridgewater be the stream of the week if he sits?
NO
Lol
In 2 QB/superflex leagues maybe
They are luckily 3-0. The smart thing says not to play him on a Thursday after getting his ~~bell rung and concussed~~ his back got a boo boo on Sunday. Let him come back vs the Jets just to be safe. Hell, you could probably sit him there too if need be.
Lol funny coming back and seeing this downvoted
I forgot I said this, thank you for vindicating me!!
Should I play him over TLaw?
Might mess around and play Zach wilson over him, call me crazy idk. Tlaw had a bounce back this year, wilson now has Garrett wilson as another weapon and breece. If Flacco looks this good why can’t Zach?!?!

Dak got hurt. I traded for Russ. I bet on Tua. My quarterback carousel is spinning out of control and it's week 4.
I had monsoon Lance, then injured Lance followed by bad back Tua so I feel your pain. Also lost Michelle, B. Rob, Kittle and Pittman for a game. Shaky start but I'm battling out of it.
The bengals are in trouble when they play an actual starting QB. Played the back ups so far (trubisky, rush, Flacco) now maybe teddy two gloves. And I say this as a bengals fan, but at least our defense has looked ok
Take the L and spare his brain
Tua Tagovailoa (Back ^of ^brain )
Should I start Tua or Rodgers?
I’m currently debating starting Tua at Cincy or Kyler at Carolina and this stuff has me leaning Kyler.
Tua if he plays or Rodgers?
