Let’s get some things clear.
Sticking with Tua is not “settling for mediocrity.” It’s not being the same old Dolphins. It’s not Ryan Tannehill all over again and it’s not throwing away our “Super Bowl Window.”
The people who want Tua to stay simply recognize we’ve been in QB hell since Marino left and that Tua has statistically improved every single years since he’s been in the league. They recognize Tua’a strength outweigh his flaws and believe he can be the guy that helps this team get over the hump.
They’re not just “Tua Stans” , Alabama fans, or fans since 2020. They are Miami Dolphins fans.
No one is saying that he’ll be the best QB in the league, but they do think giving up on the 2023-2024 NFL passing leader who’s only two years in with a head coach that has brought us to the playoffs in back to back years might not the best move.
We’ve had 12 head coaches since Don Shula and 22 starting QBs since Marino. Let’s not needlessly add to these totals.
AJ Brown yelled at his QB and his coach to throw him the ball more. And since then his teammates targets have went down and they lost to the Jets. Tyreek Hill celebrates his teamates success and doesn’t complain about targets.
That’s the difference.
ESPN:
“Are you worried about Brock Purdy after last night’s performance?”
Jeff Saturday:
“No. Deebo Samuel is missing. Trent Williams was missing. Christian McCaffrey is coming back from an injury.”
Could you imagine if Tua threw two picks on the final two drives of the game? 😂

That 1,500yd 15 TD month by Allen was 5 games, not 4 games. Not to mention Tua has even played 3 full games because he sat the 4thQ vs Denver.
Tua Sept ‘23: 372 ypg & 3 tdpg
Allen Dec ‘20: 303 ypg & 3 tdpg
Allen Sept ‘20: 346 ypg & 4 tdpg
Lastly, this is what Tua is doing RIGHT NOW. Josh Allen put up these numbers 3 seasons ago.
If you’ve been a fan of these Miami Dolphins for a while, it’s been a long long time since you’ve had a team to be this proud of and confident in.
You’ve endured-
* Marino injury seasons
* Talented players like Wes Welker, Larry Izzy, Rob Ninkivich having success with the Patriots
* Harbaugh helicopter-gate
* Ricky Williams retiring just before the 2004 season started
* Alabama Head Coach Nick “I’m not gonna be the next head of Alabama” Saban
* Bullygate
* Lawrence “M.I.A. in MIA” Timmons
* Ochocinco
* Jeff Ireland
* Coach Cameron (and Ted Ginn’s family), Joe “Mr Hard Knocks” Philbin, Adam Gase, and Brian Flores
* Brady-Gate
* Cocaine-gate
And I’m sure I’m missing many.
We’ve endured so much, we’ve stayed loyal, and it’s time to enjoy this ride. Be proud, be confident, and let’s go win the whole damn thing!!! #FinsUp
Remember when everyone was discrediting Peyton Manning’s success because he was throwing to Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark??
Me neither cause that shit never happened
Notice how we didn’t constantly hear about “Brian Daboll’s scheme” when Josh Allen broke out.
Or about “Doug Pederson’s scheme” when Trevor Lawrence broke out.
But now that Tua is reaching insane heights all we hear about is “Mike McDaniel’s scheme”
There’s a reason for that.
