I don’t understand the Tua trade rumors. I thought he had a solid rookie campaign? Why are the dolphins catering to rumors? Just the opportunity to get Watson? A proven QB

Exactly! Dolphin fan here, you can the people who don't watch players closely at all and just look at numbers.
I didn't want the Dolphins to draft him in the first place. Dude was banged up coming out of college, doesn't have a strong arm and lacks confidence because of it. Dude had like the lowest completion percentage over 5 yards in the league and lowest attempt percentage!
Kind of reminds me of how people round here like AM so much but in reality when you want inside the numbers he never really was that good. Never been consistent thru a whole game much less to weeks in a row!
If the Dolphins have a chance to get Watson, Wilson or Fields than they should do it and DO IT FAST!
I always liked Tua. But he is a perfect example of a guy who should go in the third round, not the first.
Tannehill has been one of the best QB's in the NFL since taking over the starting job in TennesseeExactly! The Dolphins have to be the worst run organisation in the NFL when it comes to high profile teams!
They reached and drafted "One Read Tanneyhill" who was a wide receiver for most of his career at A&M in the top 10 even be was hurt and projected as a 2nd rounder. A QB that Bo Pelini made look like straight garbage even the refs cheated and tried to help him. A QB who is AT BEST a game manager!

Criticize the Dolphins all you want, someone was taking Tua near the top of the draft. It definitely was NOT a reach in the sense that they drafted a guy who would've been around later.
Haha what? The dolphins have a great young roster and a large collection of picks, they’re actually a really well run team. They tore it all down two years ago and still didn’t suck because of how good their staff is and their drafting. Tua did not look good but he also played multiple games without Parker, Preston Williams, Gesicki, gaskin, Ahmed, even jakeem grant got hurt. And he was playing behind an oline starting three rookies coming off a catastrophic injury many people thought he’d never come back from without a real offseason to prepare. Way too early to determine if he’s the guy or not.Exactly! The Dolphins have to be the worst run organisation in the NFL when it comes to high profile teams!

That's a completely false narrative. When it comes to drafting QB's in the first round the NFL evaluators couldn't give less of a shit where they played or what talent they're surrounded by. If what you said is true Alabama's QB's would get drafted in the first round every year, but that doesn't happen, does it? They evaluate QB's on their film, arm strength, intelligence, leadership, etc. They don't just say, "Hey, this Tua feller won a bunch of games let's just take him #1, huh?"Who is the last great NFL QB that played at Alabama?? Is there one. Shows how being surrounded by top talent improves players projections.

Agreed. Sometimes top NFL QBs play for elite college teams and sometimes they come from lower level teams. I prefer the guy who has seen a lot of adversity and still played at a high level, meaning he learned to survive in the pocket and throw to receivers who were out classed by top defenses.Who is the last great NFL QB that played at Alabama??

Are you serious? They have 3 in the Hall of Fame.
Jalen Hurts.
No joke...I hope. Kid has a tremendous attitude.
TBD.Jalen Hurts.

Sorry. I was thinking under Saban.Are you serious? They have 3 in the Hall of Fame.
Any of them play when color TV was around?
Just read the Wikipedia list of Alabama starting QBs. Besides Tua and Jalen Hurts who are both TBD, you have to go back to the 1960s for an Alabama QB that had a good NFL career.Ask a dumbass question and you'll get corrected.
Ryan Fitzpatrick had a hand in that record fyi. Actually, he was much better than tua.He's a rookie coming off an injury in a pandemic year. His team went from 5-11 in 2019 to 10-6 in 2020. Seems like judging him hopeless is rather premature.
Still not a reason to give up on him already. He was still a rookie coming off an injury in a pandemic year. And in games he played in the Dolphins went 7-3.Ryan Fitzpatrick had a hand in that record fyi. Actually, he was much better than tua.
The team wanted journeyman Fitzpatrick over Tua. They know. They see it day in and day out. Of course fitzy is no kind of long-term solution.Ryan Fitzpatrick had a hand in that record fyi. Actually, he was much better than tua.
He has a Todd Marinovich arm.
Stabler and Namath come to mind.Just read the Wikipedia list of Alabama starting QBs. Besides Tua and Jalen Hurts who are both TBD, you have to go back to the 1960s for an Alabama QB that had a good NFL career.
Watson should be traded. Great college QB and he's been above average in the NFL thus far but I think his stock is as high as it will go. A large part of his game is based on mobility which declines with age and hits. The QBs that have lasted and remain championship caliber year in and year out are guys who earn their paycheck via their arm and command of the offense. I think Tua is a very solid starter but is a few hard hits away from being out of the league. The receiving corps at Alabama was legendarily good as was the RB group and he will just not be able to rely on such complete domination by his skill position players over the opposing competition.Tua will never be a legit top 10 QB and he was over drafted, yes somebody was going to over draft him, but over drafted nonetheless. However, Watson's ink is barely dry on his monster contract and he's already acting like an ass, so i'm not sure I'm going to give up that much to get him because he just told you if he doesn't get his way he will act our publicly and disrupt your entire franchise. If I'm the Fish I would rather have Watson, but prolly not at the price it's going to take to get him.
Yep, he scored a 13 out of 50, worst among quarterback draftees in 2020. Joe Burrows hit 34.Watson should be traded.

FWIW I believe the Wonderlic matters for QBs. A very low score should give any GM pause. Tua did not score well.

Agree. Wilson is proven. Get him if you can. He has easily 5 more peak years ahead of him. Take Watson if you can. Also has the right stuff. Could get lucky with a rook, but no OSU qbs have set the world on fire, so I don't trust Fields. There's just too much unknown. The only sure thing I see coming out is Lawrence.Not sure about Fields but agree on the others.
Holla

And, you want to win NOW. A rook is typically a 2-3 year project before you're super bowl bound. The Dolphins can ascend this year.
They all look the part in shorts and tshirtsFields has a strong arm, 4.4 forty and deadly accurate, escape ability and agile. That doesn't describe a SINGLE QB that Ohio State has had at all. If he goes anywhere outside of the Jets, Broncos or Redskins he will have success!
