2:20 The OLine has needed to "get better" for over a decade. You can't develop a rookie QB behind an OLine that lets more guys through than a SoBe doorman on Fri night. Seriously, even the Bengals wised up and improved their OL to keep Burrow protected. We haven't been outside of the bottom 5% of the league in nearly a decade and not out of the bottom half since 2011.

2021 OLine Ranking: 32
2020 OLine Ranking: 28
2019 OLine Ranking: 32
2018 OLine Ranking: 31
2017 OLine Ranking: 29
2016 OLine Ranking: 30
2015 OLine Ranking: 31
2014 OLine Ranking: 32
2013 OLine Ranking: 21 (Yep, still in the bottom half!)
2012 OLine Ranking: 23
2011 OLine Ranking: 22
2010 OLine Ranking: 8

The fact that we have to ask says a lot and I like tua

[lilgucci]

He has more wins than herbert n less games and herbert has a better team just saying

[pckbactive]

Shut up about Watson already. Tua is QB1

[benleon]

Tua could be if you give him an O-line, a running game & some receivers that can get open other than Waddle, pretty simple isn't it.

3 team deal
Houston receives - Tua. Mia 2022 1st round. Mia 2023 1st round. Mia 2023 2nd round
Seattle receives - Watson. Houston 2022 3rd round
Miami receives - Russell Wilson

I want Tua to prove them wrong so badly I hope he wins a MVP one year.

[rubinortiz]

If Tua leaves Miami I think Cleveland might be a good place for him

[barclaypierre]

WE'LL KNOW AFTER THIS YEAR/SEASON

[BBBoy]

Let's be fair with Tua, I want to see all the talking heads and the Tua haters, be just as Critical with Fields, Lance and Lawrence when they fail to produce, and not say they need the time to develop as their excuse, because no ones criticizing their lack of success. Yet for the complete games Tua has played, or not played, Tua has had more success."To thine own self be true".

[paulscott]

Tua is going to be very good. He understands how to win. I just think he needs a better offensive line, and another wideout across from Waddle. Add a weapon at running back to go along with Duke.

[juand.]

How can a QB be successful with so many coaching staff changes, no o-line, no running attack and no WR2 the whole year?.

[ceej]

Tua is not the answer.
Time to move on.
The definition of Dysfunction: The Miami Dolphins organization. Sell the team Mr. Magoo !

[javiertellez]

Players didn't vote him as a 'C'aptain. Says, a lot.

[FuzzyStayBuzzin]

No he'll be holding a clipboard real soon give it a year or two

[marcusreed]

He looks really small on the field, his arm looks like he can't throw over 30 yds and by him being left handed it makes it harder

[bandoobros]

Where tf is Stephen A it’s been like a month I’m tired of second take

[sizzer]

Tua is good QB ! Help him sour with OL and RB and you will see

[PACNYY]

In my opinion Tua is the long term answer for MIA especially when they improve the OL. Unfortunately I can see some fans wanting him out sooner or later because they don't believe in him.

[JackkChaos]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Max Kellerman deserved to keep his spot on this show over Stephen A Smith
