Dolphins expected to release Tua

[KingCorcoran]

Maybe Miami drafts Simpson.

They’ll go with Ewers.

 

[DarkVader33]

You might need a new dealer if you think Raiders are trading the first overall pick or passing up Mendoza so Dolphins can get him.

That’s not what you said though. You said ANY QB and that is what ksk was responding to. You changed the goal posts.

 

[Rayman70]

Tua is done

 

[GINeric]

Tua with Lamb and Pickens would be spectacular.

If that were the case, he would have been continuously spectacular with Cheetah and Waddle, but he fell off. Having Lamb and Pickens won't improve his decision making and accuracy.

If you were following the gist of the conversation, we were talking about Miami’s situation. He is correct, there isn’t a QB in the draft who would start for them day one. I can’t speak for him but I believe we were both under the assumption that Mendoza will go to Vegas, so there was no need to even mention him.

I didn’t read it that way but I get it.

I didn’t change anything just because you got lost isn’t on me. The poster I replied to said this is a terrible draft to be looking for a qb. I never assumed he was including Mendoza in that bunch. It’s a forgone conclusion Mendoza is gonna be the first pick on the draft. Goal post isn’t what you are defining please look for another phrase to use.

Thank you. Everything I’ve seen Raiders are sticking with Mendoza. At this point the draft is starting at pick 2. So yeah like you said there’s no need to mention him the have no shot at him. I’d rather sign a vet and pick a successor next year. Very strange year for QBs but it’s happened before.

I think they ride with Ewers until 2027. If he plays above expectations, then they don’t have to draft a QB next year.

Yeah I forget Ewers is over there. Sort of shocked the talk of the draft was show Shedeur fell. Ewers in the 7th to me was a shock even with his struggles.

 

[Londonboy]

He was so great at Alabama, reminded me of a left handed Russell Wilson... surprised at the level of fail

With that dead cap hit, that's an apt comparison.

 

[atlantacowboy]

He's probably going to end up in Cleveland or MN. Depends on how much he weighs money vs winning and rehabbing his career. MN would be an instant contender with him at QB. I don't think McConnel is super impressed with JJ Mcarthy and the GM who drafted him is out of a job. Tua just needs a solid OL that can give him a pocket. Dude can sling the ball.

 

[John813]

He's getting a fat check this year due to guaranteed salary.

The man's head has taken some big hits and his lower body seems to have always been banged up by playoff time-when Miami was actually making it. From the hip injury in Bama to a handful of injuries with the Fins, usually when the team was in the playoffs.

When watching him this year, he never had much power on his throws. They were ducks, and at that, he seemingly predetermined his throws, regardless of the coverage. And he never tried to attack deep often enough to keep the safeties honest.

After he was saying, "show me the money" 2 offseason ago, he just dropped in production. My opinion, he was a fake leader too, and after the quotes calling out teammates this season, after he had bad showings, I think was the straw that broke the camel's back.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Well there's a surprise

Or Pittsburgh

 

[ghst187]

Remember how unstoppable he was at Alabama? He was a sure fire NFL franchise QB. Did he go to the wrong team? Quite possibly. He instantly joins the club of QB's who rotate around the league for a few more years until they finally burn out. Maybe he has a career comeback like Darnold.

Think the biggest issue is teams will be scared of his concussion issues….

 

[atlantacowboy]

Or Pittsburgh

I agree. I think if A-aron wasn't there, the Steelers might bite. But, I think they are looking to tank and reboot the oldest roster in the NFL. Thats why they hired a re-tread HC for the first time in their history and are keeping a 41 year old QB who looked pedestrian last year.

I agree they need to tank, but Tua wouldn't be a bad backup for them. Especially if they're not comfortable with Howard as the backup.

Yep, one more and it should be early retirement.
It could credibly argued that he might should have hung 'em up after the last one imo.

I think Tua is going to gravitate toward the best situation for him to get his career back on track. I don't see Pittsburgh being a place to do that nor do I think Pittsburgh is looking to win games next year. The 2027 QB draft is looking strong. Rodgers and Will Howard are looking like a 4 win team. You put Tua in there, and they can probably get back to 8-9 wins. Thats been the problem in Pittsbug. They have been stuck in the middle for most of the last 15 years missing out on opportunities to draft elite QB prospects. They still haven't been able to replace Big Ben.
