it was a joke.
i mostly agree with you. maybe try drafting players that can catch and can run routes? so crazy it might just work!

Before a lot of folks say a whole lot about this situation, let's deal with the facts...
Fact-Callaway has 13 Starts under his belt during the 2 years he was with the Cleveland Browns who took 105th Overall in the 2018 Draft
Fact-Callaway is only 23 years old
Fact-Callaway had 5 TDs on the Browns as a Rookie in '18 when Baker was also a rookie and they were being coached by Hue Jackson.
Fact-Miami has suddenly become a spot for players to get things turned around or look better than they ever have previously, this roster is loaded with a bunch of those guys so why can't Callaway be another welcome addition?
He has a hot young rookie under Center who doesn't have a deep cache of weapons. He has a TE, decent WR in Parker and that's really about it right now so there is nothing but open real estate right now for guys to see if they can carve out a role or make magic with Tua.
That's what a Tuatastic QB will do for you.

Now you're talking. There's potential, but it might take a week or 2 to know if he and Tua click.
Tua was underrated in his first start, but now the hype is a little too much.

Perry is a guy I have my eye on, he and Tua had developed nice chemistry in practice from what I saw months ago

I think that's a good question and if you saw what I wrote on Grant then you know many of us Phinsfans think he might be th sports car that was kept in the barn all these seasons. That said, i wrote the post I did in the manner I did because I was as curious as anyone and as I started peeling thru Callaway my eyebrows began to shoot up a bit and I paused and said now here's a guy with real experience, still very young and maybe a QB like Tua is just what he needs to break out and showcase with Preston out of action. Miami does not have any SURE FIRE hit after Parker and I'm not exaggerating. I think almost all Phinsfans will back me up and say we're as interested as you all who the WR2 is that is going to "step up". And if Tua hadn't looked so good spraying it all over the field to anyone with a pulse and a fish on their helmet, we might not care as much. Callaway feels like the right story at the right time and I'm saying that for a very good reason which I'll explain...Miami didn't make a Big Move and I feel like they need something extra down the stretch, something that hasn't been there that is going to kick this up another level as we proceed in 2020, that's just my belief based on what i observe of other teams over the years.
Enter Callaway and I've seen Grant, I like him but Callaway could have a much higher ceiling. Grant might end up as a 2/55, 3/40/TD all good stuff but Callaway could end being a guy that hauls in 4-5 balls a game and what that generates in terms of production is anyone's guess but you want a ticket on the Tua Express, I've been as hard on him as I could be, but the fact is this kid stood in there and went toe to toe, I saw everything they could possibly throw at him in the last couple weeks including the way he has rebounded from being strip sacked on his 1st play as a starting QB. Tua is a winner, a fighter, a closer, and this is going to be the only week or chance you get to grab a ticket. I would think long and hard this week about each of these WRs, Grant is a lot smaller and that does make a difference, he's 5-7 and I'm betting Callaway is 6-0 at least...and I was off just a tad, he's listed 5-11.
Soft schedule for the next 4 weeks could lead to meaningful games while you are in the playoffs. Callaway can leap his way to WR2 if he is good, there's nothing cemented in his way. Also, Miami cannot run the football effectively and have 4-5 RBs on their roster right now while Gaskin is on I/R, even healthy he's simply average. Tua is the key to the offense right now.
There, you got it all out of me, you decide what to do.

Sorry got some more hype, some fo you know this stuff but his rookie season highlights...
2nd Game as an NFL Pro, 1st start ever...3/80/TD
He saw 20 targets over the next 2 weeks and only hauled in 7 catches...
5/36/TD, Start
4/62/TD, Start
5/35/TD, Start
4/79/TD, Start
He had one game with 3/84 where he didn't actually start but obviously saw a few snaps.
The upside is there, and you can see the resume and talent and potential. Will he actually do anything? It's worth a roll of the dice, I doubt many are hunting for this guy.

These situations are always worth taking a swing at if your depth allows for it. The phrase "talent meets opportunity" bubbles to the surface quite frequently in the Shark Pool... most bubbles burst with nothing to show, but every now and then... BOOM.
There are tons of examples on both sides of this argument but I will always support taking the shot.
