@OmarKelly Is Tua not also at fault for wanting a huge contract instead of taking a little less and telling them to get him an o-line knowing all of his injury woes? sure maybe Grier screws that up and signs the wrong guy but at least you gave yourself a shot.
I truly believe this offensive build for Miami is over. It was a moment in time, perhaps even a necessary one, when the question was how do we rehab a top 5 pick QB who just survived an all out civil war with a Head Coach who actively worked against him.
It’s not the same Tua anymore. You succeeded. You rebuilt him. You proved to HIM and to the whole league that he can play.
But what you forgot to do was build a TEAM. You forgot to build a WINNER that could handle being untracked in tough circumstances.
You don’t need smurf receivers anymore. You don’t need a dogmatic rushing attack that has the same boom/bust characteristics as a passing game.
You DO need an offensive line.
You DO need to be able to sit back there longer than 2 seconds, and it’s not always going to be your choice as to when you need that.
You DO need to be able to rely on the physicality of your receivers the way Tua has relied on Jonnu Smith for that most of the year.
You DO need to play offense in a way that is not a flat out embarrassment any time your QB is dinged up.
You DO need to have guys out of the huddle and up at the line of scrimmage in time to actually make adjustments if they’re needed.
You DO need those timeouts.
You DO need a play caller who isn’t frozen in the moment dealing with all of the things a head coach has to deal with during a game.
And this point the idiosyncratic drawbacks of this offensive build are hurting Miami more than helping.
They’re able to look GREAT when they are afforded the opportunity to look GOOD. But they look BAD when presented with any unfavorable circumstances.
That is not a tenable dynamic for a football team to weather the increasingly long, increasingly tumultuous throes of an NFL football season.
@CannataPFN This. Give me KC in a hail storm with negative 50 degree weather over the bills anyday. Bills are our daddy until proven otherwise. At least this puts a potential rematch out until afc championship game. Maybe someone takes them out. Let someone else deal with Allens nonsense.
“We remember who Tua was before Tyreek got there.” Is the most aggravating phrase in sports.
1: Mike McDaniel arrived as well, can we add THAT context. The whole offense changed and became competent.
2: Why don’t we “remember who Josh Allen was before Diggs got there.”

To anyone who ever tries to discredit Tua (or Brock Purdy) because of their receivers YAC yards, please just scream this equation at them:
TIMING + ACCURACY = Yards After Catch “YAC”

Tyreek Hill already has more touchdowns through week 8 (with 8) than he had all of last season.
Tyreek Hill is the best thing to happen to Tua, and if this trajectory continues, Tua will be the best thing to happen to Tyreek Hill.

The sports world has had a completely misguided opinion of Tua because his best ability is hardest for the casual fan to assess.
But @Tua has been HIM.

We are back.
The slander of Tua has become too much.
We will not allow the fake news sports media to continually attack our quarterback.
Roses will bloom and Tua Tagovailoa will prove he is a top 5 QB in the NFL.
We are TuAnon.
Expect us.
