Tua looked much better week 9, but the Cards D was hurting and missing a starting CB. I still expect inconsistency. As a Parker owner, I definitely wish they still stuck with Fitz. No matter what denials come out of Miami, going to Tua was not done for competitive purposes. They simply need to see what they have in him and if they need to be in the QB market this draft.
I own Parker too, actually one of 2-3 Keepers I have and I think he's going to have a big run over the next 4 weeks. Could total what he's done the first 7-8 weeks.
Hope you are right. Then maybe I could actually get a buyer. I want to cash out
I like your optimism.
Isnt Tua known for his accuracy? From week 9 highlights he threw into some tight windows to Parker.
Early leads have hurt Parker in 2 of the 3 games under Tua. Tua only threw 25 times today, and Parker was targeted 7 times.
The point isn’t the number of throws, it’s the target share. As long as Grant and Gesicki are getting close to the same number of targets (7 to 5) he’s not going to viable. The only reason his stock was pointing up last week was Preston’s injury and the assumption of increased target share. That didn’t happen.
And I hope Tua can continue to throw it 25-30 times a game tops and that's because it would signal we are getting a run game going. Ahmed was the first time I started getting excited when we were handing off.
MIP, I’m happy for you as I know you’re a Phins fan, but as a neutral observer, I’m still bummed about how they did Fitzy (as well as cratering my Parker stock). They’re winning with Tua, but he’s definitely leaving points on the field. Hope it doesnt come back to burn them since they can be in this race with that defense.
I've been with you and sort of a agree, Johnny Utah, but let's not forget who Fitz was in the grand scheme of things. He's been a roller coaster QB even in his best years, his best games. So I'm cutting them a bit more slack with this decision, but your overall point is a salient one, and I still think the Dolphins were evaluating. Now that's out the window with six wins. They're out of prime QB drafting contention. Now it's all about winning.
You obviously haven't been subscribing to my Phins Updates, pretty vocal about how I felt Fitz should have been left in there...that said all my skepticism was erased in the Arizona game and I've let go and just enjoying the ride for now. I'm not sure if Tua is the ultimate long term answer but he sure has injected a lot of fun into the team and the fan base is feeling Tuatastic right now so you can't argue with success and a banana fan base but I understand your point and you are talking to probably the most critical Miami fan on this board and I could be mistaken for a Miami hater if you didn't see my other posts.
He does look small and fragile, but maybe our knowledge of his injury history is affecting our view. In any event, he seems to be good at pre-snap reads and making good and quick decisions, and accuracy. Pocket presence seems to be good, but I need more data. Fitzpatrick got an "A" for pocket presence.
Probably does. Can't really help it. Takes a lot of reasoning to dial that type of thinking back.
In my redraft league, If Golladay is out again, I’m going to try to dump Parker for Jones or Pittman in that order. Miami is a run first and run often team as Tua learns on the job. I need wins these last few weeks to make the playoffs. If Golladay is playing I may still go for Pittman. I don’t see Parker winning games for me.
I respect the opinion, and maybe he does turn it on down the stretch, stranger things have happened. It’s only a 3 game sample size, but it doesn’t look good. I thought the Williams injury would be a boon for him. I just can’t feel remotely comfortable starting this guy going forward. The team philosophy and situation is just a polar opposite of last year when he flourished.
Well I have never been right about this player at the right time. So anything I say 8s like a double reverse jinx.
I own him too, I'm a little frustrated and I've moved him into more of a Bye week fill in right now. But I got lucky bringing guys on like Tee Higgins and there are a couple others that have helped lighten up Parker's role on my teams. But I still am optimistic he is going to light it up a few times in the coming weeks. If I'm wrong so be it but it's just my observations from watching the games.
Pittman for me.steelwind said:
Yes. ~5 yd pass....Back corner of the endzone. Initial call was that he got both feet down......replay overturned
The question we’re all waiting for though ...
Nice try.
I’m not at all, but he might be the best of some bad options for me at WR3. Still debating it, but I’m starting to talk myself into Pittman. It’s either him, Hollywood, AB, or a recently picked up Pittman.
“Nice try”
I am wrong plenty.
Hell no. Fortunately I picked up Higgins week 2, and Crowder is chillin on my bench too in case I need another guy. Mostert coming back next week and a starting trio of JuJu, Ridley & Higgins.
So we’re on the same page then ...
I mean ... I agree with all of this. But Parker has had 7 targets in each of this last 2 games.
Well, I watched a lot of that game and some “targets” were Tua throwing the ball away in the vague vicinity of Parker.
I don’t want Tua to get hurt. I genuinely don’t.
got hurt, so Parker should have gone 
. Instead he went bust.
I think Tua is going to be great. Maybe even this season.I don’t want Tua to get hurt. I genuinely don’t.
but if for some reason Tua had to miss a few games, I don’t think Parker owners would mind very much.
The cruel reality as a Parker owner this year was that when Parker finally shook his hamstring injury, Fitzmagic got benched. And to make it even more cruel,
Potential hinted at but never fully realized.
If Tua goes down for any reason Parker becomes a must-start.
Yep - I said exactly that above.
