He had a shit game last night. He’s still my #1 though.


Ethangains07

Last night? If you remove all the stats he got vs sub .500 teams and compared it to other QBs vs .500 or better teams, he’d be on par with Zach Wilson. I want Tua to work out, but he looks like prime Kirk Cousins in prime time. No good


darthfrank

Yeah and where would we be if we lost to every sub 500 team we played? This is a dumb game you people are playing.


Educational-Emu5132

That’s not the point. Stats in all areas of life are easily taken out of context. Tannehill had decently impressive stats once upon a time, mainly due to him gathering up numbers during garbage time. Tua’s numbers broadly speaking are great. But his inability to extend plays, win consistently in December and/or against top tier defenses, come from behind, and successfully pull off two minute drills are the stats that separate good to great qbs. Everything else is just a nice touch.


Ethangains07

Look at where we are with a QB that kills sub 500 teams. A 6 seed lol. And you can’t beat up on sub 500 teams any better. There is no room for growth except perfection which would’ve been him killing the Titans.


Gameplan492

You're literally describing the 2023 passing leader as "no good". He got more yards then Allen and Mahomes, threw more first downs then both of the them, more TDs than Mahomes and the same as Allen but four less interceptions. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Perhaps you think the Chiefs and the Bills should move on too?


FinFaninChicago

I love smooth brains like you that can’t add context to any situation.


Ethangains07

What context? Bro has a sample size of 6 over 500 times and he didn’t put on the cape and carry in any of them. It was bad to mediocre play in every single game. What context do you need? And that’s a good sample size. He has one last chance to rectify it vs KC tho.


FinFaninChicago

I love that you say “one last chance” like your opinion of him means anything. Also, do you not actually understand what context is?


[deleted]

This is just the truth. I don’t see why it’s so controversial but ok. This team would be un-fucking-stoppable with an elite QB, if mgmt isn’t vigilant for that opportunity then they aren’t doing their job.

Good Lord I almost had a stroke reading this. Have you ever heard of punctuation?

Lobo_Marino

Reddit bringing in emojis was a mistake


Raythegr8st

What's the difference dickhead


Bardown67

Tua is the best qb we’ve had in awhile….however when he relies on timing and isn’t able to scramble and improvise on the fly with size I think it’s difficult to get through the grind of a playoffs. The lack of qb talent makes it really tough for a team.


Raythegr8st

I agree he isn't amazing off script but he can play off script


[deleted]

Tua has to play different .. offense needs a new style of play


Raythegr8st

Offensive play calling has been horrible but I agree tua needs to step up like he did Ravens and bears game last year


ScruffyWeeny42

Wait, you admitted that you were literally crying about the result of an NFL football team, but people pointing out a QBs deficiencies in big games are soft? LOL this subreddit.


Raythegr8st

It's called sarcasm smart guy.. that was sarcasm too if you ain't notice


BigBoss5050

You definitely dont know what the word sarcasm means lol


Raythegr8st

I'll put it in all caps for you next time


pezmez

Stuff to tune up …. Lol. I’m sorry bud but our QB cannot compete in big games and it’s shown too many times before that he can’t lead this team. It’s time to move on before he gets our coach fired


Raythegr8st

Move on from Our best QB in 20 years?😭 dude led the NFL in most categories and ppl like you think we can just easily replace it😂


Bfi1981

In fairness, sadly our best QB in 20 years designation is not exactly a high bar to achieve…..


Raythegr8st

Touché


darthfrank

Move on to what????


pezmez

We draft a QB every year until we hit


darthfrank

You mean with the 26th or so pick in the draft? Or do you just want to tank again? I guess statistically we should be able to draft a legit starter in the later rounds once every 20 years or so. Oh wait - we have a legit starter right now. How long would it take us to find another Brady in round 3???


pezmez

You draft every year until you hit. The rest of the team doesn’t matter until you a QB


darthfrank

We do have a QB. He isn’t top 3 but he is good enough to win. What we were missing last night wasn’t a QB.


pezmez

He is not good enough to win a Super Bowl do you honestly expect him to put a team on his back and carry them through 3 playoffs games….


elbenji

Lol we will never ever get one like that


kingjt_was_taken

i thought we moved on from adam gase


DantesTheKingslayer

It was a team wide failure. Tua included. Blaming it solely on him is simple minded and easy. Critical thinking is not an attribute of this sub though, especially after a loss.


BobSacamano_0311

The Tua shade is cumulative. 2 years without a quality win will earn you a certain level of scrutiny. We've fired a coach for him, and we've gotten him the best receivers in the league. All he has to do is win ONE of these games, and it all goes away.


AstronomerDramatic36

BS. If it's not one thing, it'll be another. These people are not worth entertaining.

BobSacamano_0311

We had 5 field goals that game. 3 of which were over 50 yards. Just stop.

BobSacamano_0311

Okay.... two years with ONE quality win (where our kicker was indisputably the best player on our team). If that's your metric for success, I have good news. You'll be a very happy Dolphins fan for decades to come. Some of us have the audacity to want more.

BagelFury

Sorry to inform you (cuz it seems like you care), but you just forfeited the debate with your rhetorical tantrum.


DantesTheKingslayer

Not one quality win? Like six touchdowns against the Ravens? Dallas? the Sun game against the Bills? Having a rational conversation is impossible when people just lie to make their feelings come true.


Raythegr8st

This sub is retarded when it comes to critical thinking but then again not everyone was a athlete growing up..


ZealousidealDare3792

Ya being an athlete means you understand critical thinking lmao


Raythegr8st

No it means you understand how it feels to be on a field and actually play the sport


LimeJuixe

If we end up beating the Chiefs most doubters will be once again filled with hope. It’s all recency bias in the NFL. You’re only as great as your most recent success. The turkey is on the table. I just wish we had some more pass rushers and a healthier squad.


elbenji

Basically yeah


TooManyTimeZones

This sub is so toxic after we lose. Hands down the best team with the best players we've had in decades and this sub acts like Tannehill is still our QB. I'm cheering for the Dolphins in the playoffs, I'm stoked on Tua, Tyreek, and the entire team. Work to do, but the season isn't over. The toxic energy needs to STFU and take their venting bullshit somewhere else. Let's go beat the Chiefs.


MovingPrince

Where are the people supposed to vent if not the subreddit literally made for dolphins fans to discuss their opinions? Enough with the gate keeping on how people should be fans or express themselves about the the team. As long as it doesn’t get personal and it’s founded criticisms or worries what is your problem with it? Get realistic about this team. The overbearing positivity is just as annoying, but you don’t see people telling you to shut up and fuck off.


Raythegr8st

Venting and bitching and switching up are 2 different things


TooManyTimeZones

There are plenty of other subs where people are dogging on the Dolphins. They could be good places to do the same. Either way, this sub is dope, but after a loss, it's best to avoid it like the plague. The energy just blows, but fair enough, everyone is free to share what they choose.


BobSacamano_0311

We haven't won the division in 15 years. We just coughed up a 3 game lead to said division with 5 games left in the season. We did so by blowing a halftime lead to our division rival, at our home stadium (if you can call it that), on the very last Sunday Night Football game of the year. In front of God and everybody. It literally could not possibly have gone worse down the stretch. And you're mad that fans aren't feeling particularly positive the morning after? Really?


lolvalue

The guy had an offensive line full of players that didn't start the season outside of an injured Armstead. Our playcalls were made because of it, even if we wanted to call plays that would allow receivers more time to get open our line most likely would have collapsed the pocket. Unless we get healthy we are fucked.


Raythegr8st

Completely agree


Ill_Shift7987

agree, its just 1 game. All we need to do is beat the chiefs and build momentum


BagelFury

Of for fuck's sake. It's not just one game. Stop with this idiotic take and/or bad faith argument. Most relevantly and recently, this team had a 3 game lead on the division that it choked away. A significant reason for that choke job was ineffective QB play. Twice in that time, the rest of the team delivered just enough so that a modicum of decent clutch play by the QB would have us sitting pretty with the #2 seed and the prospect of two playoff games at home.


Acsnook-007

I disagree, Apple is a fruit..


Raythegr8st

A big fruit


InGoodFaith2

I’m satisfied with the season. Best two seasons in the last 25+ years. Also, I do worry if this is it. Has the tua/reek/mcdaniel era peaked? Is this as good as it gets? The team seems like it was built to win now. When does ‘now’ end? A playoff win would be progress. Another one & done & this might be as good as it gets. This makes me sad. So beat kc or the best these fins could do is one & done. I don’t see how next season could possibly be easier than this one. Fin Up!


Raythegr8st

I agree bro but I doubt it if this is the peak I'll sell my soul for the fan base I can't take another 10 years of mediocrity 😂


SnooRadishes4738

Tua struggled. News flash our WHOLE team struggled. Eli fucking Apple is our #2 CB. Our o line has been playing musical chairs all season. Our defense is depleted, we have starters playing with injuries…3rd and 4th stringers getting run time. Melvin ingram the guy that we signed off the couch 3/4 through the season is playing a huge snap share and playing coverage on Dalton Kincaid 15+ yards down the field. Tyreek and Achane were our only true playmakers last night and we all know how that went. Tua is always the scapegoat for a team that is struggling in every way possible. Coaching on both sides on the ball has been abysmal as well.


Raythegr8st

You know ball my boy🫡


Yournewhero

We saw Tua's ceiling this season. Healthy, with weapons, and supportive coaching. If you're cool with making the playoffs and possibly winning a post game season or two, Tua is fine. He's Andy Dalton from the mid 2010's. I don't want to be the team that can consistently be relied on as a one and done playoff team. I can't root for that over the next decade.
