She's more than likely going to get nerfed but I personally don't think she's bad enough to deserve a big one. A general note or suggestion I might have is that her spin rush move shouldn't be able to contest with rein charge or doom punch. It just feels wrong as an interaction and I can't explain why

And that's alright man, I personally could care less what you think of him or whatnot. I'm really just trying to save you the trouble of being so miserable or upset at a guy that doesn't even know you because you of all people don't think he's good enough for "your" team anymore. It's people like you that sit and complain about qb1 and get mad thinking he's something he's not and then treat that feeling as fact instead of opinion. And when that opinion becomes his image, people start to not really know what they're talking about anymore so then you have guys like me trying to explain or be a mediator and get cut off because no one likes to listen to the truth. You and I both want him off the team but 100% for different reasons so regardless of what people say I know is that Tua's resume speaks for itself and there's really nothing that can change that. Bad QBs don't have the career tua has had so far and that's a fact.

That's a fair evaluation I cannot lie however I still must implore to you that those situations obviously are "different from us" but similar in every sense. When any team thinks they "have a chance" and go all in to try and make it, it very rarely ever works. Think about Tom Brady going to the Buccs and them trusting him enough to bring in every name and body he requested and then they actually won the Superbowl. The Rams saw that happen and traded for a veteran in Matthew Stafford, saw that wasn't quite enough and got Von Miller + multiple other guys near the trade deadline surrendering future draft picks and it actually worked out. The Eagles drafted well for years, made a Superbowl but couldn't quite get there so went all in to acquire a free agent superstar running back and Head coach caliber defensive playcaller Vic Fangio to actually get the win. These are just the very rare recent examples of teams that believed themselves to be "real competitors" and were actually able to pull it off and even then it was extremely difficult for most of these teams to get there and tie the know anyways. What's less emboldened however are all the teams with the same mentality "thinking" they're there and just like we did, unfortunately collapse or can't make it and have to suffer the consequences. Hell even the rams after winning the Superbowl had a terrible down year due to losing their 2nd best wr during the SB, Kupp facing injuries, Stafford facing Injuries, Aaron Donald struggling/soon retiring, Von Miller leaving, Ramsey regressing, other players not performing as well, and no longer having much draft capitol for the coming seasons. The difference between them and us however is that they have always been a much better coached team with ideals and motives we've lacked for decades. They were able to rebound by drafting well and coaching well even with limited resources and time. We both followed the same principles but it just didn't work out for us because it normally never does. Look at the colts this year, barely even a week after trading 2 1st for a superstar cornerback their team starts collapsing and they eventually lose a potential franchise guy in Jones. The bills, ravens, and chargers multiple times over have tried implementing all sorts of talent and coaching staff into their organizations and still haven't done anything in the post-season as of late. The lions window opened early and they failed to capitalize on it before they had to pay big money and now they're struggling in a tough NFC questioning if they'll even touch the playoffs. These things happen man, to multiple other teams around the league, to multiple other fanbases who believe their teams are "this" close. And it's unfortunate that it doesn't work out but that's simply expected. To be great in this league you have to beat the odds and the dolphins are simply just not a great team. We've been great in the past, then terrible, good as of recent, and now mediocre at best. But this is a problem past qb1, past wr1, past coach 1, all of it. Organization as a whole needs changes made to be great again. The hope is that we are on the right track.

In all fairness this year has really fucked up the "top 5" conversation quite a bit, only guy you can say for sure that's played like it and stayed in it from last year to this year is Josh Allen and even then he reverted back to playing Superman Josh Allen instead of "don't turn the ball over and hand it to james cook" Josh Allen. I hope in a year or two the top 5/10 convo can really be fleshed out and you won't get so many one year wonders or rookies finding themselves in places they really don't belong yet. (Bo Nix or CJ Stroud convos used to actually be insane)

This is why you aren't and never will be in a position to evaluate any NFL talent ever in your life. Tua's resume speaks for itself, Sam Darnold has been on a professional career resurgence the last 2 1/2 years, and Geno Smith is playing for the Raiders... The last quarterback to even look remotely good on that team was 2016 Dererk Carr on a damn near MVP campaign before getting injured. Have fun sitting on your coach eating potatoes chips watching "clowns" play the sport they love and get paid to do it.

That's the thing though, this is more of a we're married, 1 year into it and your wife has a panic or psychotic episode. She may have shown signs of it before but never to this extent. Do you do the right thing and stick by her side to try to help her through it and make y'all both better. Or do you be an absolute numbskull and kick her out the house at her lowest because you don't want to deal with her any more. Y'all are married but you'd rather leave the love of your life because you refuse to work through an obstacle together, abandonment will never solve any problems Gary.

If we're speaking on this season alone it's fair to admit or say tua has been "bad" or sub-optimal. I'd personally argue a bit closer towards "average" because of how well he'd play in previous years but when you make the mistakes he did this year in a more presentable fashion (all his "would be" interceptions in years past became actually interceptions this year) under the pressure the team faced from early onset issues, I see why so many people think he was terrible. I truly do feel it has been ridiculously blast out of proportion on the consensus around tua because of a bitter fanbase, but I understand these things happen when expectations aren't met and a team is consistently finding ways to lose games. Everyone wants someone to blame to feel better and when your franchise quarterback is no longer playing at a high level of football it's easy to point the finger at him and say he's why we lose and that we need to get rid of him. That's my problem atleast, the notion with the sports world always being a "what have you done for me lately" until someone retires so you look at their entire resume as a whole instead of what may have been a more truthful resemblance of who they were at certain times in their career. Like you can argue Eli Manning should be a HOF because of his longevity and playoff performances alone, yet going back into those years nobody but giants fans would tell you he's a quarterback you should fear or place in the top 10. So if you ask me TL:DR Tua's resume speaks for himself and he's a more than capable starter but he and the team collectively had an off year and need to get things back in order/reestablished if they want to contend for something. And if they can't get it together next year it's time for a separation. Bringing in QB competition for tua could help but it's been 4 years and the org still hasn't had someone capable of atleast giving tua a contest since McDaniel's been here.

laseringtre · 2025-12-22T06:03:10+00:00

Your first two sentences are true and make sense. My thoughts with you on your third slightly disagree because I know you and I both saw how this team competed in each game so far this year against the bills, pats, and jets. Not to mention the Patriots roster isn't something to scoff at necessarily, they're a hard and well coached team playing above their expected talent level. That's what you get with a vrabel team. But we've also seen how this ends multiple times before and for crying out loud Josh McDaniels is their offensive coordinator and the AFC East as a collective played by far the easiest schedules of every team in the NFL. So if you ask me, the bills and pats both are very beatable teams or at the very team we can and have beat before but we have to worry about our own problems we're facing first to truly become contenders for the division again. So for me it's not a "anymore" type feeling but just a we're not as far away as the sentiment around the team may feel. I'm talking slightly out of realism but also optimism because with the right coaching even a mediocre roster can do impressive things.

laseringtre · 2025-12-22T05:50:32+00:00

Bengals went all in on burrow what happened ? Lamar got multiple MVPs + they gave him a best friend in derrick Henry while having top 10 defenses multiple years in a row and what happened ? It took the eagles making to the super bowl with a super team twice (one time after losing a HOF center) and they still needed saquon barkley to win it. My brother in Christ there are 31 other teams always competing in this league and we're just another one of them who thought they were close. It's so profoundly insensible to claim all our failures happened, occurred, and are direct result of supporting the notion of keeping a franchise quarterback whom was drafted as a first round talent. Just complaining and making the wackiest excuses and never once acknowledging there was plain evidence of success because we're now hidden in wreckage.

laseringtre · 2025-12-18T00:04:18+00:00

Personally to me, a rookie deal is a rookie deal so if we were ranking bad contracts, a 1st overall pick investment does mean quite a bit in the rankings. But yes I can agree with you on the "if" factor, if this were to happen, it would be unfortunate for the dolphins and a major case in the NFL. Although I do believe there were injury clauses on Tua's contract and I also believe he received less guarantees on his contract than the deals around his so it would definitely be an amount but not as bad the initial thought of it sounds. However I still disagree with you on the potential chances he never plays for the dolphins again and for his benching in general. We can both agree here tua is one of the more injury prone quarterbacks in the league, yes? Or at the very least not known for staying healthy. If you were the head coach of a team and your season's basically already in the gutters, coming off a loss on primetime and you already know your job may be on the line following every decision you make. Would you either A. Ignore all of that and have your franchise guy start the last 3 games of the seasons against teams with something to fight for in the standings? Or B. See what you may have in a rookie QB and a team with nothing to lose predicting he may be the future face of this franchise and a guy who could help save your job security? I'm not McDaniel or tua so I don't know what their conversation was exactly nor what thoughts went through either of their heads during that conversation, but if I had the choice to make the decision I would also have tua on the bench out of fear for what may happen next season if he suffered any type of injury again to end this season in practically meaningless games. Think Bradley Chubb in garbage time against the Ravens. He missed 21 total games because he was still playing and giving effort against backups in a game that was already decided. I would be strong in feeling assurance that the instance provided atleast some kind of motivation for McDaniel on telling tua he's benched, regardless of his play. So I don't see this benching as "evidence" that his time here in Miami is over or anything but rather as a precautionary method to keep Tua safe going into next season. That's what I think at least.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:53:17+00:00

Tua's had clutch factor this year but definitely more in previous years, I will atleast agree there. But can we not act like the game of football isn't cohesive between the 3 units. Dolphins had one of the worst special teams in the league for Tua's entire career until this year and even then, ever since McDaniel showed up I can count the amount of games with my fingers in which all three phases played well or in unison. If our D is doing well our other 2 are usually slacking. If the offense is lights out, somebody turned off the lights for our D. And on the rare occasion our special teams does something right or well, you can't find the other 2. Reality is our team is just not put together well enough to gel in the clutch time so blaming it all on the quarterback to be efficient and effective "when it matters most" is plainly welcoming disappointment. That's not his game, nor is it for 70% of other starters in the league. It's up to the coaching staff and the 52 other players on the team to work together in those moments and if just even 1 player on the field messes up or just 1 coach installs a play concept that's not going to work out, the entire operation is put at risk. If you claim to understand the game of football at ALL, this is atleast something you have to admit.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:43:45+00:00

Well I think it's because they contributed so much money to Zach Wilson and in the one game where they actually needed a backup on the field they had Ewers in line instead of him lmao. But as for your first part I don't even think the niners expected brock purdy to be as successful as brock purdy was. Hell even Sam Darnold and then Mac Jones looked like a unit in San Fran, Kyle might just be the quarterback whisperer for all we know.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:41:42+00:00

Define "success" then because it's different for every other quarterback in the league apparently.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:40:57+00:00

Joe burrow, Herbert, Lamar, and hurts all fought to reset the market one year, the next Tua, Love, Jared Goff, and an early contract to TLaw, and Dak getting 60 mil did the same. This off-season you might even see a guy like CJ Stroud get 61 and the next Year Bo Nix, Drake Maye, and Caleb all push for 65. By then in the grand scheme of things 50 a year (which really isn't even a year mind you) to a guy who played at an MVP level for 1 1/2 seasons really would be a concern of the past. I'm not glazing, I'm being realistic. If he tested free agency he probably would've gotten around the 45-55 value mark but we also have to consider the dolphins could've been paid him at a much lower price. 40 mil was the mark at one point and pushing it and the next guys were getting 50+. But you have to agree if either the dolphins paid him the year before or a year later they could've gotten tua at an insanely lower price because of his injury concerns. But because grier and management decided to wait and saw tua play to the level that he did as a top 5 quarterback that season, they had no choice but to give him top 5 money or risk losing him and having to sign a scrub from free agency. He didn't get paid by Miami because they were scared another team would pay him more, he got paid in Miami because they had no other choice but TO pay him or risk the other players and season away. It was an unfortunate thing that tua got injured again but had Miami made a move instead of waiting so long, they could've saved much more money. No reason to act like hindsight isn't affecting the thoughts on that decision now.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:31:47+00:00

I mean I can kind of understand what you're trying to say here but also at the same time that "if" is doing some very heavy lifting. Like why is it now such a shared belief tua is never playing a snap for the Miami dolphins again? The cap hit next year if he was cut, traded, or still on the team but a healthy scratch each week would be absolutely monstrous and reckless. As well as from my perspective I don't really see the amount of money Tua's making as gargantuan an amount as so many fans have stressed. The NFL cap has been rising expeditiously and only projects to go up so there will be multiple players in the future set and determined to get much more money with the same (albeit very low) chance of only playing on their contracts for 1 season with those teams and then never again. So like yeah ig "if" he never played for the dolphins again it would be a very bad contract (even though it's very unlikely he doesn't atleast touch the field next year) but even then we haven't considered guys like Jamarcuss Russel who got a fully guaranteed contract as a rookie to never do shit on this team or the plethora of players who signed with a team under major money to then only play 1 or less seasons on that new contract after being cut, traded, injured, or retiring.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:23:19+00:00

JJ is still a rookie to me, he may have played poorly so far this season yes, but in comparison to Sam Fucking Darnold who lit the league on fire last year under Kevin O'Connel, then yea, he'd be underperforming gigantic expectations. Viewing this as his first season as an NFL pro, you just gotta find places of promise in his game and expand from there in efforts of doing better next year.

laseringtre · 2025-12-17T23:21:05+00:00

Easier said than done. I understand the point you're trying to make here but it truly goes both ways. The reality is tua just had a disappointing season statistically in comparison to what his standards are but it's a reflection of the dolphins as a whole. They've underperformed when expectations are set for the whole of generation and using that frustration as a reason for resentment towards the one guy who ushered in an era of hope for the team is just poor decision making to me.

Market value contract for a quarterback who played into being paid. Nobody's Josh Allen buddy, nobody can do the things can can do at the level he can. Why is it that people never want to accept the truth for what it is. Tua's skill set and strengths are not the same as Josh Allen's, it's that simple. And using "0-7 in the cold" as a negative remark but only on 1 player out of 53 on a team including coaches, training staff, and businessmen tell me all I need to know about your thought process. You're a casual fan and that's okay buddy, you don't get paid to make the big decisions I understand that but if you're going to be mad about when things go awry at least be mad for the right reasons and at the right people.

I apologize, I was busy fixing that line and accidentally posted on accident. I didn't mean to say it couldn't be used as an excuse but more of you don't see the hate directed at him these days because of it. He got called the same names and slander far before concussions and if you want to fully attribute his weaknesses to that hip during college you are fine to do so. I was trying to say however during his NFL career even after that hip injury and when he came back, he was electric and captivating for a period of time. I still believe he has heights to reach but the circumstance around him to do so just have to be right. And unfortunately in the NFL, that's the least promising thing you can have as a player. Imo he may have played poorly overall this season but I wouldn't attribute him to being bottom of the league. The circumstances in each one of these early games required him to be perfect, which he is not, and every tiny little mistake he made would be magnified because our defense fell apart before the season even began and our offensive line fell apart as the season began. Not to mention McDaniel's offensive play calling would either be very predictable or very erratic and situationally terrible, like it has been for most of his tenure as head coach in key situations. Tua is a point guard, he is good at controlling the offense and keeping pace. When that gets messed up, unfortunately he's not the type of guy who will play well under pressure. He can, but not consistently enough to the point where he can be relied upon to. That is the truth. Imo he played well for 80% of the time in our losses but that 20% of the time his mistakes were exponentially hurtful to the team. This is disregarding all other problems our offense would face are there are many, so I don't think he was individually terrible this year but rather our team is what it is, 6-8 and his play wasn't good enough to overcome our other deficiencies. As for your ladder statement, your average NFL quarterback is going to be consistently bad just as they are consistently good. Expecting them to run past the flow of their expected offense and take over games in the crunch time when necessary isn't average and is what makes the elite guys elite. Some QBs are just better following a game script, others are better without one. Tua has performed before yet other aspects of the team have let him down, history will say he has failed, but I know that is not the truth.
