If this is a repeat...my bad. I have never been a Tua fan...once he hit the field as a Miami Dolphin. I thought he was the bee's knees while in college, but I held my nose while we selected him before Herbert...who was projected to have been the #1 pick the previous season had he come out. The person who contributed the most his Tua's non-development was one Brian Flores. He didn't want Tua. He wanted a LT and then come back around later and take Jordan Love, which is fine...if he were the GM, but he's not. He didn't do half of what the rookie QB's teams have done to surround their top 10 pick with talent...although the o-line excuse wore thin with me EARLY. Flores was a HC for 3 seasons and had a different OC for each of those seasons. Tua didn't stand a chance here with the front office's parody of Monty Python meets the Keystone Kops.
No excuse, Tua was the only quarterback in history to have dual offensive coordinators. That's double the coaching and double the input. Who cares if Flores didn't communicate with him or any of the coaches on the coaching staff?
You're often hard to read here as a person, but I hope that's sarcasm. Either way, I laughed hard when I read it.
Flores was right to be hard on Tua and not wanting to draft him most of us were wrong. I ignored the work ethic questions I had going into the draft
The Dolphins have been a cluster for a long while. Tua's hip was always a long term concern for me. Well, it looks like it didn't hold up based on physical limitations. And now mentally he checked out. It's over, bye. Hope he does the right thing (if possible) and makes a deal to lower the cap hit over the next two seasons. Even if it's just a few million saved.
Tua’s work ethic was always the question for me he had to work harder then everyone else because of his genitics and he chose not to put in the work. Mr flip flops will be out of the league soon enough m, deservedly so
Tua's performance in 2023 and 2024 showed that he had overcome whatever BS Flores and Co had done. You can't blame 2025 on Flores. As others have said Tua's work ethic is the most likely culprit for his sub par performance in 2025. There is some question as to his physical condition, but IMO that is secondary to his motivation issues.
