You are suffering from recency bias....see list below. These were the last 30 QBs drafted in the 1st RD ranked by Pre Draft Scouts, Inc Rating as you can see Andrew Luck has had the best rating ever...


Because recently teams are running a more college style of offense and not forcing these guys to run old NFL concepts under center all game.

Texas Tech's ex-Coach is coaching in the NFL right now.. Let that sink in.

Not sure the “can’t draft QBs early” is an accurate narrative. I am pretty sure the narrative is drafting a QB early doesn’t guarantee success and many of them don’t turn out to be worthy of their draft position. You did a nice job if picking out some QBs who made the playoffs but then you have to toss in the Josh Rosens, Darnolds, etc. to see how many didn’t to get a better picture:
Jets probably draft Fields, which is better than what the Eagles did with Hurts,, Darnold and Wentz are comparable in that they will both find a starting role in this league.

Very confused by @csirl including Burrow lmao

Also does @csirl not know Dak got injured early on in the season.... and we would have had a much better record if he hadn't.

I've seen some bad threads. This one is close to the top for 2021 so far.

If they are dumb enough to trade him Dallas needs to be all over that.

You say this about literally every single QB that hasn't played for the Cowboys. It gets old.

Reality is if the Cowboys FO is stupid enough to let Dak walk or trade him(your preference) any team with a semblance of a roster and partial need at QB should be all over that.

Miami isnt trading Tua, did you really just suggest that?

I didn't suggest it.. Look around the internet.. There are Miami fans that are done with him and want to draft a QB at 3.


Miami could potentially have a dynasty. They have a lot of picks.

All the ones in the playoffs and the 10-6 Dolphins have a significantly better defense. Not all about the QB. Though the Chargers got a good one in Herbert hopefully they don't keep wasting his talent.
Umm what was Tuas record as a STARTER, pretty sure Fitz won most of those games..

I got the Jet's down for Sewell..

Fields would be a dumb pick for them.

If they were picking 1 then they would have to take Lawrence.. Now I think their goal needs to be to build a team around Darnold.

Their QB's will just keep struggling if they don't have weapons and protection.

So the Tank for Tua wishes that started years ago didn't really pan out? His first fan base is already throwing the baby out with the bath water after year 1. That's great.

It's too early to write anyone off, but not really sure I'm feeling that, or at least willing to pay what they would want.

He didn't trust any receivers for entire games. Someone was NFL open? Check down. Non stop. If people thought Dak was too conservative in pushing the ball early in his career, Tua made Dak look like Favre.

He was still injured to start TC and he was a rook, but for a guy that was to be the #1 overall pick in 2020 back in 2019 he looked like a rookie that needs shelter.

Now Chan Gailey did call a conservative gameplan, but he had to with the way Tua was at QB. It was night and day watching Fitz vs Tua. Same talent on the field, but Fitz would actuall attempt to stretch the field. He did throw more picks, but he also allowed the offense to not be predictable.

I think they will stick with him so this is all moot, but for all the hype Tua got, that was a letdown watching him play and not really progress as the season went on

1 and done with Tua, then I will take your word for it and they are fools.
Arizona fans at least have a bit more patience with Murray.

It's just premature idiocy by fans.

Tua will be fine. He was lucky to even play this season.

Upgrading at QB, especially while CAP controlled, is never a "dumb" thing. Ever.

Intentionally downgrading at QB, even with marginal CAP savings, is a very dumb thing.

You need to learn this stuff.

Fans are fickle. We complain about no SB wins since 1995, but Dolphins fans have a team that hasn't even been there since 1984, so you can see the frustration coming out when they gripe about Tua, just like the gripe about Dak, Zeke, Smith, etc...

Ultimately, it's the most important position in sports.

If management TRULY believes that this team is a contender right now (I would disagree), then they need to go ahead and re-sign Dak as he gives them the best chance to win TODAY. If management thinks (like I do) that this team is 2-3 years away from being in a position to win a playoff game, then they need to do everything they can to get some value out of trading Dak... sign a Dalton, Foles, Taylor, or McCoy type of guy and start drafting QB's.

As a Miami fan as well Tua was terrible at times.

Think of 2017 Dak Prescott in the second half of the season.

Their defense was the reason why they were 10-6, as they had 12-13 good games that carried the offense to the W.

If Dak's agent still wants to play hardball, I would be hoping to see the team draft a QB.

As a Miami fan, you should be outraged they played him at all. He's coming back from a gruesome hip injury and had zero off season. It made no sense he was in the game at all. Fitzpatrick was the better Qb this year. Tua needs a full off season...... that said, if Justin Fields falls to 3, I'd trade Tua .

I think Sewell. They have a ton of picks already.

I still think Zach Wilson is the 2nd QB taken. He's just a more advanced passer right now than Fields and just as athletic.

If they trade back it will be Miami and Cincy trying to get Sewell.

Dolphins are going to love drafting Sewel at 3,, all the stupid knee jerk fans will discover just how fortunate they are to have Tua in a couple years.

sign Dak.
build around him thru the draft.
and in the draft get a partner for Diggs....a partner for Wilson...and a side kick for Gallimore.
