Ok, just to make sure I’m reading you right… Are you saying it would be better for Tua to hold the ball longer and be subject to pressure, hurries, knockdowns and sacks than it is for him to deliver the ball quickly where the defense has little to no chance of laying a hand on him? Is this what you’re saying? If you are a successful day for your quarterback is a day that his uniform doesn’t need to be washed…that it is as clean at the end of the game as it was at the beginning. Rarely does a team have a quarterback that can not only have a clean uniform but lead the league in virtually every quarterback stat…or close to it.
I think he's trying to say that Tua had all the time in the world to throw because he was pressured at a very low rate. He doesn't seem to understand that the reason he wasn't pressured is because he got the ball out so fast. But who knows. He'll just change his reasonings/complaints as Tua proves him wrong, again.
That's a different argument than the one we were discussing. The line gave Tua enough time as he wasn't pressured/hit at all this season and could have held ball longer and took more pressure/hits. Now that's been established you want to discuss the optimal pressure % and how long to hold ball/stand in there for a throw. Brocky Purdy led his team to a Super Bowl and led league in passer rating and many other stats by a lot with a pressure % of 20.1. That's 28.02% higher than Tua. Mahomes led his team to a Super Bowl and WON the Super Bowl with a pressure % of 22.6. That's 43.95% higher than Tua. So the notion a QB couldn't take more pressure and be successful is rather invalid statistically. Whether Tua is the type of QB that could take take more pressure and be as successful is another question. I think there's plenty of data to suggest he cannot. That doesn't get into the health aspects either. This scheme is built to Tua's strengths and weaknesses, nothing to do with the line.
Tua always working to improve!! Looks like DJ was right. https://phinphanatic.com/posts/tua-...ter-and-lose-weight-says-trainer-01hs1mf27v0d
He got the ball out so fast because that was the scheme/play design. They know if Tua has to hold onto the ball, because of the OL and Tua’s lack of moving skills, escaping and making plays on his own, he has to get the ball out fast. That’s also why we saw him throw to spots and make completely boneheaded picks throwing into multiple coverage.
Fields got traded for a 6th round pick. Some people here swore he was going for a 1st round pick and some.
The irony here is that you do not realize how valuable Fields could have been to the Dolphins (in exchange for a 4th or 5th round pick).
Please enlighten us all as to why Fields would have been so valuable when every single NFL GM thought he wasn't even worth throwing a late round pick this year for.
Huh, he plays golf as a righty (I know he is naturally right handed). That must feel awkward though as an NFL QB he will be used to twisting/firing his hips in the opposite direction. I know when I do my speed training for golf my dominant side is around 15mph faster than the weaker side. I'm betting Tua can swing at the same speed both sides since trains his non-dominant side way more.
