I don’t think anyone would argue that… but a washed QB being giving you better odds of success than what you have? Well, that highlights a problem. Cam couldn’t throw last year and NE’s roster was the biggest hit by COVID….and he won more games than Carolina and Sam being a check down bulldozer.

Think it similar to the Philly game in some aspects. D dominates early vs a bad offense and sets up an easy win. We never get up as much as we feel we should be. Staff does try to get an even rush/pass split that leans slightly to the run. Which prevents the turnovers we saw vs Philly. Chuba grinds out a good but unspectacular game. 23 - 13 Panthers

Okay. You cherry picked some bad stuff from the 13 games of a young QB on a bad team. No one is saying he is Aaron Rodgers right now or on pace. You can cherry pick a lot of disatrous stuff for a lof of QBs that haven't played a full season yet. Trevor, Fields, Wilson. That's just this class. Go look at Sam's rookie year. Hell, just look at Sam's last season....think he pulled off 3 INTs, a FL and 2 of those were pick 6s all in a half of football. They have been able to win with Tua. That says somehting. Good completion %. Good endzone to turnover ratio. Again, he is just a couple games into his career with a bad team. Yeah, there is plenty of bad there. There is suppose to be. Point isn't that he is great, point is you don't see teams so boldly moving on from what Tua is and has been yet. We got peoploe to this day doing mental gymnastics on Sam Darnold and Tua can't even get 16 games lol.

I dude that hasn’t even even played a season yet…. Looks just as promising as a lot of other high draft picks of late. Got a winning record as a starter. For a guy as young as he is on a non-stacked team. That ain’t bad.

Dolphins have spent months and months basically telling everyone they are done with Tua…. Tua’s actually gotten off to a decent start to his career. That’s all. Winning record. Decent comp%. Good TD vs turnover numbers. He defiantly isn’t looking like a bust. He just didn’t have a Herbert, Cam, type entrance into his career. Tua might end up being the gold in the deal. Not that I think he will be as good as Watson in his prime. But he could be good….and actually available to play QB

I mean Hebert clearly looks awesome. But Tua’s start isn’t deserving IMO of what the Phins are doing with him. Tua is actually off to a decent start. Unless it’s a just health.

I think they already said he could play this year. Next year is where it gets dicey. Which makes no sense for the Phins to bring him in….because he will be out next year and the Phins already in too big of a hole this year

everyone legit, is reporting it’s the Dolphins. reports are the WFT is in the mix to go for Tua and the 3rd team in the talks (that is specifically mentioned not involved with the Watson part). If our GM is in on every deal….it will be interesting to see what Tua ends up costing a team. He better be expensive.

I’m weird about punt returner. They are a rare breed. I don’t like throwing inexperienced guys into that role. Mess up….and it’s a gamechanger. Lot of guys can return kicks. Shi returned kicks in college. KR is a lot easier. But Shi never did punts in college. I don’t care about return yards. I care about fielding them cleanly.

he has zero punt return experience though. That’s the key spot.

I would never want a kicker named Blewitt. I mean, you basically know the joke that inevitably is going to happen… but it seems like Ron merely likes the long Hail Mary kicker types….

Zane hasn’t missed a FG inside of 50. Zane isn’t the long term answer, but if a K is making kicks…just ride that for the time being.

I don’t get why the Phins soured on Tua so quick….and frankly so openly. 7-5, 64% comp, 14 TDs, 7 INTs. 4 rush TD. that ain’t bad for your first 12 NFL starts.

RBs look good considering the OL talent. DJ balling Ian Thomas finally showing something. Tremble looking decent for a rookie being worked in. rookie WRs look good when we rarely see them. it’s basically the two guys the Jets didn’t want struggling the most. It’s almost like the most painfully obvious answer is the right answer. That we shouldn’t of built the core of our O with parts from the NY Jets…

DJ Moore has been an absolute beast on the year. this overall is just a Robby Anderson issue. And the fact we paid him so heavily is impacting IMO the ability for the rookies to get the reps they should be getting. Rhule and company overpaid Anderson and he just isn’t what his one year anomaly season suggested …and here we are.

if we keep sucking. Matt Rhule and the GM will fire people. It's what NFL coaches and front offices do. They have to steer the blame for the failure somewhere for the masses. it's not going to be this week. But if the struggles continue. Front offices always save face and finger point via firings. That's just the NFL.

and it's the #3 rated D. #6 in points. And he is currently without the leader of the D and his first rounder. I mean, they literally gifted wrapped one of the losses, the Philly game....and the O still managed to give it away. 9 minutes left in the game on Sunday....the Panther offense had 80 passing yards on the day. And you don't understand why the Panther D ended up having a bad day vs one of the best offenses in terms of skill position players? The D was probably better in the Philly game than the Houston game. With even the most average offense that day....it's a blow out. bad offense quarter after quarter....means a good defense will end up giving yards and points.

Why would they fire the defensive coordinator first? He has the only unit playing at a high level on the year? Plus, Snow is the only actual Matt Rhule guy of all the coordinators. That's Rhule's guy. The most impactful guy to Rhule's career success. Temple and Baylor got to where they got under Rhule via Snow's defenses. Brady, Chase, position coaches, players. Matt Rhule would throw a lot of guys into fire before Snow.

I think when it all evens out, Robby will finish the year very similar to how most of his ones with the Jets were. I just think he had a fluke season. We see those with players of his caliber all the time. It's why the Jets let him go and why he had the rep of not being a very good all around WR. I think last year opponents didn't really know what Joe Brady's O was going to be. New always has advantages until the tape sets in. Why QBs often take steps back in year 2. So while the league figured it out, they just gave Teddy the short of the stick stuff they knew he would take. And Teddy nickel and dimed people between the 20s with it. And Robby excelled in that moment. But now Joe Brady and Carolina aren't a mystery. So they man up and play the WRs tougher. And DJ has always been a more well rounded WR and better WR.....so he continues to be what he always has been. Every week DJ is making some insane catches. And Robby is largely going back to being what he always has been. Not a very good WR. But one you that can randomly hit you for a big play if you get lazy with him.

Robby Anderson has had a catch % over 54% just once....and that is when Teddy was his QB. Almost 70% with Teddy. Which goes back to why I wanted to wait before we paid/extended Robby. See him with Sam and the growth of the draft picks before paying him based off what was an anomaly season. The Sam to Robby connection has never been a good one. The fact they have been on the same team together never meant the chemistry/connection was good.

the Cowboys/Vikings have....a good QB. a good RB. two #1 caliber WRs on the outside. I don't think teams figured out his D...as much as the teams we dominated didn't have that.

Depends. NFL is largely HCs/GMs scapegoating people. So when the time comes...they have a group of coaches they will be willing to part with if they need to appease the masses. I mean, it's not the OLs coach's fault this group sucks. It's not the QB coaches fault Darnold isn't getting it done. And they hired Joe Brady with no playcalling experience....gave him horrific OLs to learn/figure it out with? Yeah, sounds rocky by FO design. We can fire these type people. It doesn't solve the fact primary issue is personel. Now, some could be secondary issues. But the personel is the primary issue. But the HC/GM aren't going to fire themselves for not doing there job good enough. It's how we got Sean McDermott. Andy Reid needed someone to blame. So he blamed the guy whose defense he and the FO depleted of talent. McDermott was the same dude then that he was when we hired him as DC. We just gave him DL talent.

as I said, I have no problem with you saying Tyrod isn't great. And Tyrod isn't there to be the franchise. He doesn't have a high ceiling. But Tyrod actually is....what people wanted Sam to be. Sam just isn't. Never has been. Tyrod has been what he is for awhile. His 2 games this year? 4 TDs. 0 turnovers. That not a weird stat line for him. That's Tyrod. And you can go back years and check his tape and stats. When he has played over the years check his TD to turnover stats. That's why he is better than Sam in a nutshull. And why Sam shouldn't be a starting QB this far into his career out of choice.....going into a season.

It’s fine if you think he sucks. But be consistent with your standards. That means Darnold belongs in the XFL

we will beat the Giants. the stretch from NE until the last game in Tampa.....is when I think the football gods will start demanding sacrifaces every couple weeks.
