Fitzpatrick had a 77.3 QBR, the 5th best in the league behind only Rodgers, Mahomes, Allen and Tannehill. Ahead of Brees, Jackson, Wilson, and Brady. While Tua's QBR was 52.9, ranked 26th.
Why no love for Fitzpatrick? I think he deserves a shot at a starting gig.
He has had plenty of shots at a starting gig. The bottom line is he is not a great or even good NFL starter. He is average.
Average does not win Super Bowls. He will always throw a lot of picks. He is a great personality, great locker room guy, and a decent QB.
We need to keep moving forward and give Tua a full off-season. The kid was out essentially 12 months before he played live action. He lost his Senior year, lost 9 months to rehab, lost mini camp, QB camp, training camp.
I can’t believe the rush to judgement on a player who was undoubtably going to the be the #1 overall pick before that devastating hip injury (Maybe he slips to #3 with Burrows one year emergence...who knows).
And I wanted Herbet and got laughed at on the 2019 Dolphins thread!!!! Everyone was like Nooooooo! Not Herbert!!!! LOL. yeah.....ok.
Back to Tua. He is undoubtedly going into 2021 as the guy. If not....they need to draft another QB at #3. If their is any question in the coaching staff and front offices mind about Tua being the guy.....cut your losses, draft another QB.
Enough of this BS.
But I think they are fully convinced Tua is their guy......they passed on Herbert for him. They gotta give him the benefit of basically a lost year for him coming into the league. And get that boy some weapons. He is not a gunslinger type. He is more of a Aikman type. Accurate, composed, play within the system.
I like Tua. I like what I saw a lot. Fitzpatrick is simply not the answer. No way I have him start in 2021. Come on. I did not expect 10 wins, I did not expect post season. And even......even if Fitz was in there vs Buffalo. They still would have killed us. They are a much better team right now. In fact I say they will go to the Super Bowl if they maintain this level they are on. They are playing better football than any other playoff team right now. Better than KC, better than GB.....they are red hot.
Josh Allen arrived.
IN YEAR 3!!!!!
