As a dolphins fan: A) Mike McDaniel is a must keep. He wasnt perfect this year but he’s young and doing 9/10 things the right way. He’s the bright spot to build around for our future B) Fangio has some potential to develop this defense some more, I think we give him a season more to see how the defense can continue to develop in 2024 C) It’s a mistake to pay Tua. Love the dude, but he is at that Kirk Cousins level of QB- certainly a starter for years to come, but he just can’t show up in big games. With the roster we have built, we shouldn’t be choking two seeds and not showing up for our playoff games. When you look at the QB play in those performances and its subpar? that’s a problem. I feel bad, there’s always some group calling for his job each season, but IMO unless he wants to meet us in the middle contract wise its just bad moneyball to sign this dude for multi-millions. D) I’ve known since the Titans game we were cooked E) I’ve known since I was born that I would never know true happiness as a sports fan. We deserve to be spoken of in the same air as the lions and browns and jets and commanders… the only difference is we’re slightly better at winning meaningless games year in and year out
Hope you know that if the fins let go of Tua you're in poverty hell for the next decade or more. He would probably go to a team with a more solid foundation of OLine and do what he does best: Pocket pass with elite timing and accuracy. Honestly at this point with how Miami fans act towards him I hope it happens. I'd love to see Miami not even SNIFF a playoff and do nothing for another 25 years lol
Tua doesn’t play well unless everything goes perfectly for him. It would be ridiculous to make him the highest paid qb in the league like some people want
Agree that Tua isn't elite and also risky given his concussion history. But, in this league, even average QBs get top money because there is no other option behind the starter. Owners won't let them walk out and go back to searching.
As an Eagles and Tampa fan (born in PA, live in Tampa) -- please do a video on last night and the trajectory of both teams. They seem to be total polar opposites with Baker redemption and Jalen collapse. Love your channel.
I know baker was hurt too and baker showed up and showed out but Jalen didn’t collapse he got injured multiple times this season and they kept using him like he wasn’t, the game last night Jalen had a fine game, wasn’t his fault he had recievers down and wasn’t his fault defense didn’t want to tackle, the collapse of the eagles coaching would be more accurate
@@maskedman5657 Jalen may be fine physically, but he lacks a lot of intangibles that make a great QB great. He lacks leadership and the ability to boost a teams morale and rally the troops. The last 7 weeks he's been sitting on the side lines looking dejected almost like he doesnt even want to be there. Maybe part of it is being unhappy with the coaches, but Jalen def played a part in this collapse. I also question his judgement and inability to go through his progression. He seems to have one WR in mind before the snap and if they're not open, the play falls apart. I dont think he lost the game for the Eagles, but also only scoring 1 TD against the Bucs isn't a good showing. He needs to improve. They're paying him top 5 QB money, and he hasnt shown that the last 7 games.
@@omgbaxtergames You would feel defeated if the coaches were having you run that pedestrian offense all year and your defense wasn't helping you at all when it came to not giving up scores. Jalen showed that he had all the intangibles in the Superbowl last year. He played absolutely bonkers in the playoffs. Not as far as stats but his progressions, his reads, and as far as extending plays. They need better coordinators
Can we also please recognize the profound effect the loss of Connor Williams had on the dolphins? With and without him, the stats speak for themselves.
I'm a dolphins fan, the offense can't fall apart just because 1 player is out that shows our lack of depth. And of course going into the draft earlier this year our "genius" gm said he wasn't concerned about the o-line
@@tonerz0fdubb716 Smallish Pocket QBs need a string interior pocket and with 4 Oline missing at one point and 2 LG and Center missing down the down the stretch. Online depth and development are a need. Tua is good borderline great QB, but do you pay him great QB money? I think you have too. I'll rather be good than25+ years of what Miami was. Tho, some hard choice has to be made with contract (Hunt, Wilkins, Connor) All I think Miami need or need similar level of player for a cheap price point. Some of the offensive issues are on Tua, But the play of the line and play calling by mike McDaniel was equal part poor. Pay your players you can afford and solidify that Oline at all cost. Increase the effectiveness of the Run game while better protection for a smaller QB! Replace players you lose with cheaper contracts and stop gaps. The pass rushers will miss the start of the season and Van ginkal will be probably too much to retain. (I would try my best to keep AVG and bring in a mid-level player like EDGE JONATHAN GREENARD, HOUSTON TEXANS and EDGE JADEVEON CLOWNEY, BALTIMORE RAVENS) players that won't be overly high in demand and can provide good run support and some pass rush. Draft replacement players at DB (CB and safety) and LB as I would suspect that Baker, Ogbah and X will be cut or traded (even if they take pay cuts they will probably be gone the following years) Sign a few older players with something to prove (like CLOWNEY) who skills may be limited but show high compatibility. Wish list player is TE but the needs are else where.
So many things that plague Miami. First off the injuries have been plaguing them since the jump. And it really hurt them on the oline. Miami Oline ALWAYS gets tua sacked in key moments. Second, The defense has been inconsistent all year. That has to do with injuries and putting people in different spots. But Also Vic Fangio putting players in the wrong spot for too long. My opinion is that Fangio should have BENCHED eli Apple. Hes such a trash and low effort player. Third, Mike McDaniels makes games way too complicated at times. He chooses to pass way too often when you know for a FACT. That your offense has a great run game. Why?!!! Run tha dang ball. Your pissing off Mostert and Achane.
This what I’ve been saying man, this team relied way too much on the pass. If it was Herbert it might work but Tua’s arm is not his strength don’t know why the hell they didn’t run the ball more. It’s not like they don’t have talented RBs
DCs figured out that Tua predetermines where he is going to throw the ball. If you can take away his initial choice, he doesn’t know how to read a defense to go anywhere else. Then he either gets sacked or throws a pick. His accuracy is the only saving grace. It has allowed him to fit balls into windows that other qbs can’t hit. But it only compounds the problem because it makes him seem better than he is.
Agree/Disagree on the point of Miami throwing the football VS the Chiefs. The Chiefs had little issue with throwing the football (Rice/Kelce specifically), and Miami has been much more successful than the Chiefs *all season* at throwing the ball. It seems the bigger issue was throwing 4/5 check downs and/or passes *behind* the line of scrimmage every-single-drive. Rarely saw this team attacking the middle of the field during the Wildcard round, which was surprising considering how successfully they had managed scheme mid-field plays all season.
Tua has physical limitations that cannot be overlooked anymore and I’m not just talking about his arm strength. Patrick Mahomes isn’t the greatest “running” QB in the league but he is at least athletic enough to scramble for a 4 yard first down if need be which I haven’t seen Tua do too often.
I think the most likely outcome for Tua is that he gets the Kirk Cousins in DCA treatment: a couple of franchise tags and then walks to some other sucker team.
The problem with Tua is that he's good, but is he good enough? NFL is a quarterback league and the thing is you can't just dump Tua, you actually need somebody better. Who's better AND available?
Hell naw those were catches that an 88 is supposed to make !!! You can’t start the game with 3 catches dropped especially when they convert 3rd down to first. Why do you think Dak started throwing to MG more.
Tua is the definition of a mid QB. He's enough to get you into the playoffs year-in, year-out with a better-than-average team around him but won't get close to a ring unless he has a god squad.
Guys all focus on the cold, which to me is a secondary issue. The problem is they choked the division at home and Tua has a tendency of not showing up against tough opponents when things matter. Titans game in the 9-8 season, Buffalo and Kansas City this year. I would not recommend sticking with him long term, even with a diminished salary as he would handicap the team by getting injured and underperforming in clutch time. He is at best another Dak or Kirk, who can get you into the playoff but that's it. I hope he prove me wrong next year under the fifth year option, ball out and win a SB, or at least reach the Championship Series. At this moment though, that's my verdict on Tua.
That’s the problem with you guys and why you’ll never win. It took Peyton manning 10 years to win his first Super Bowl. Arron rogers took 7 years to win his first. It took Ben rotheslburger 6 and Eli manning 4 years. You guys look at PATRICK MAJOMES AND BRADY AND EXPECT EVEY QB TO BE LIKE THAT. Unrealistic. Be patient with your QB and maybe the dolphins might actually win something and not a a laughing stock.
Miami’s problem has always been our QB, for all the numbers and accuracy he puts up Tua is a limited glass cannon whose strength is also his weakness, also didn’t help at all that half our team was injured by the time playoffs came around
Don't give TT a big contract. Draft a young QB get rid of Xavien Howard, Armstead, and use the capital to build an oline. Build an offense around a stout running game and defense.
So far, Dolphins' salary cap status is about 287 Million, 42 Million over the cap. Tagovailoa and Waddle are playing under rookie contract, so the cap situation will be more difficult if Dolphins decide to keep them. Dolphins have to release several key players before the 2024 season, or they will become a team like Saints, that are plagued by aged and expensive players.
There is no situation that is difficult coming off of this season. We are fine. The Dolphins franchise has been a very difficult situation since Marino and Shula left over 2 decades ago, so this is the most positive "bad" situation we have been in. We have problems to fix and Tua has some additional development to do but I am not worried. Making any major changes should not occur going into 2024 season. If there are no results next year, its time to make some changes, but you do not blow up a situation that has improved for the past 2 seasons just yet. The fact NE just fired Belichick shows how spoiled NFL fans have become. Instant success doesn't happen and takes work.
This is the same old issue with Miami spanning decades (even back during much of Marino’s career). Our mighty Phins are just physical or talented enough at the line of scrimmage, specifically on offense. Football is built around a fundamental of blocking and tackling. To win the important games, playoffs and the Super Bowl you have to do both and pretty well to get to the promised. And, as was abundantly clear, Miami can’t block a lick.
This reminds me of when the Bengals had Dalton. Some qb's can't win big games but it's tough to that guy especially when you win a lot of games, probably have no choice but to re-sign him.
Great video. Watching the Ravens beat the dolphins changed my mind about their offence. Their front line needs to be bigger, they need an all pro tight end, and they need a running back that can run through and drag people with him as he runs. They also need to alter their strategy in play calling , those timed quick release plays are great given perfect conditions and staffing levels but when you have injuries, we saw how that panned out. Their defense had a lot of injuries but I thought played pretty well. They are fairly young and should eventually gel. McDaniel worked on Tua's style of play, avoidance, and awareness in the pocket (I'm pretty sure Dan helped there) . Tua's contract? I would offer 3 years, keep the dollar amount real given his play so far. Losing sucks, but builds character. A good coach adjusts and finds ways to improve by strategy and personnel change. Phins up P.S. Take a couple of pages from Dan Campbells play book.
Huge Dolphins fan, not only would I not pay Tua this off-season, but I'd hold off on committing long term to anyone except maybe Robert Hunt at LG. I just think with the free agents we have this year, the guys we have coming up next year, the injuries to key players like Chubb/Phillips, and the real question of how high the ceiling is for this roster, it would be borderline negligent to keep investing in a stock that's not paying dividends. They're already too far into this "window" to just blow it up at the end, with the contracts already guaranteed, the resources they used to get guys like Hill/ Chubb, and the cap situation. I believe our only choice is to run it back next year, but if I'm Chris Grier, I'm waiting until after next season to reassess where the franchise is at before making any long term plans.
His pocket presence has decreased dramatically. His first 2 seasons he was elite at extending plays (he kinda had to with the horrendous Oline he had). He was great at stepping up in the pocket and eluding sacks (least sacked QB in the league 2021 with the most QB pressures in the league). Might have something to do with the concussions but this season if he gets pressured the play is busted he just gets flustered and forgets how to play football.
Amazing work sir. Beautifully edited vid. Enjoy the rich information in a digestible fashion. Loved the circle on Lamar Jackson at 5:02 , gotta watch out for 8 😅
The AFC is going to be ever harder next year, with Burrow coming back in Cinncy, the Browns with a real QB, Stroud improving in Houston, the Chargers with a real coach, Rodgers back with the Jets, and maybe even Jacksonville. I'm assuming the Chief, Bills, and Ravens will stay as the top 3.
That's why Miami gotta move off him. Because Tua is not going to suddenly become a versatile QB, and next year ALL teams will stifle him easily. The Dolphins are in clear danger of NOT making the playoffs next year with dumbo Tua at the helm.
If the Dolphins can't play in the cold then they are never going to be a serious playoff team and that's that. For the foreseeable future in any given year they're likely to play one or more play games in an outdoor stadium when it's freezing out. Maybe they should beg to be put in the NFC but even in the NFC there's still Lambeau in January and Philly is below freezing, both teams are likely to host playoff games in the coming years. Basically it's "get the number one seed or give up." This severely restricts the already slim chances any team has to win a SB.
@@heathburlison3016BRoThEr you make it seem like it’s so easy to get a great-elite qb like Miami didn’t try with p. Manning, Brady and apparently Watson.
@@heathburlison3016honest question, would you have been saying to cut p.manning before 06? Tua just put up manning numbers but choked in the playoffs just like him. Thank god none of you are guys run any teams 😅
@@uppertroupe lmao don’t compare the two 😂 Peyton manning is a HOFer. And a lot of his losses were his defense. Tua can’t even beat teams with winning records 💀 Tua also has absolute ELITE offensive playmakers everywhere
Tua and the Dolphins just simply cannot offensively play through adversity. When you take away the middle and the run, they collapse. Tua is just not a game changer
Tua also just isn’t good, his success from college till now is built around being on super stacked offense’s and playing against bad teams talent wise. Problem is you don’t play bad teams in the playoffs.
No it’s because the Dolphins offensive line is terrible only masked by Tuas quick release and game plan but when they disrupt it the offensive line can’t hold up for more than 2 seconds
@@jeanfourcade imagine not knowing how to actually watch ball. Tua led the league in yards and was top 5 in all the other metrics, the Miami O line was horrid and it had to be schemed to get the ball out extremely fast, i could show you the data but you've demonstrated you're not capable of understanding that. I watched this team go 1-15, McDaniel made the playoffs twice and they won 11 games this year, anyone who calls them a disappointment must have just started watching them a few years ago...
@@devinlacefield7538 Funny that despite the great schemes, fast throws and the terrific metrics, that great offense can't score (nor win) against strong teams. But you're right, they are disappointing only if you expect them to win something. As long as you're fine with the Dolphins going to their yearly one-and-done playoff game, Tua is appropriate, and McD will keep designing schemes to protect him. Fine by me. But maybe McDaniel is ambitious, who knows?Peace, Davin.
The thing with Tua is, would any other coach get the performance out of him that McDaniels has done? Before he got there, Tua was heading toward bust status, and I don't know if much has changed outside of McDaniels maximizing Tua's talent. If I had my guess, the team plays through his 5th year option and they let it ride.
Yeah maybe because he shouldn't have played his first year.... only had waddle and gesicki his 2nd year .... 2 years of bad oline 2 diff oc's... and a defensive coach ..never was a bust...he still has a good win loss record
The Dolphins are a soft team with a soft QB and a soft HC,they are not built to play in any sort of adversity. They pretty much need the other team to play soft against them where Tyreek is getting free releases every down and Tua can throw the ball to the pre determined spot of his first read. Go back and look at the film of what Snead was doing to Tyreek Hill at the line of scrimage LOL. He was man handling him and Tua looks up thinking where is my man? He's on the ground getting his ass whipped! LOL
MacD and Tua are the kind of persons who want to be loved. In football, you have to be feared. When the Dolphins figure that out (Dan Campbell could teach a thing or two to McD), they'll get rid of the softies and build a football team.
@@jeanfourcade McDaniel is not a leader of men,he is a coffee boy who was brought in to fix the broken Tua after the scary man Brian Flores yelled at him and made him cry. Half the players are already looking to get the hell out of the Miami disaster.
I have defended him forever, but I can't anymore... really don't think he's the QB to make a Superbowl run with, I've seen enough... McDaniels can't even use the whole playbook because of lack of arm strength & mobility. I can just imagine a true big arm dual threat QB in that offense..good kid, nice guy, but it's about winning
@@austinarmstrong9729 I didn't put a percentage on it, but there would definitely be a few more runs & a few other wrinkles out of the rpo if Tua was more athletic & durable...no home field advantage in the AFC more than likely equals playing a game in a cold weather city...he hasn't proved he can win a big game yet , beat one team over .500 this year & that team got destroyed at home as a #2 seed after winning 16 straight home games...I know about the injuries, the oline definitely wasn't the same after Connor Williams went down, but it is what it is ... I don't think he's that QB to get us over the hump
I’m evilandobtuseDoug, fixed your screen name to be more truthful, don’t quit your day job! He can’t stay healthy! Proved he could, He can’t throw the long ball, he proved he can! He’s the 33rd best QB, please when you have just a tiny bit of information to back up your ridiculous hyperbolic statement, please, chime back in! I’m sure that will be, NEVER ! Goodbye!
@@nomasterabovemenoslavebelo3628 Show me on a doll where I hurt you. Don’t go crying to your mom some random dude on the internet made you upset. Tua is garbage. He never proved shit except for the fact he’s pretty ass.
Straight and to the point. Draft, free agency, salary cap, depth chart…. Chris Grier is going to earn or lose his position as GM with what he does. What I’m wondering now that I think of it is how did the Dolphins not know that this much turnover could happen this year. There’s a lot of big contracts coming to an end all at once. I think I read we had 25 free agents. Critical positions. How was this missed or allowed. We could be looking at an unrecognizable team next year.
May I suggest Tua and his team go and play for fun in the cold right now. Get a taste of almost frost bite. So next your the team isn't moving at turtle speed. And by all means win home field advantage. As a Houston oilers fan I knew the outcome of cold weather. Instant replay with Miami.
the offense struggled cause the system is a one trick pony and the coach isn't good enough to predict and evolve according to what defenses will do against it. After the 9-3 stretch defenses got booked up on them and out coached and schemed them. Likewise with the defense but not as bad as the offense. And to mention... Tua doesn't have the arm strength to take full advantage of Tyreek's speed.
The lack of context in football is just exhausting. Thank you for noting the context of those 2 playoff games. Im not a Dolphins fan but hearing them talking trash in goofy ways is just not the move.
Dolphin fan here, we feel like we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, went from being on an emotional rollercoaster to a total crap show 💩 Pains up 🙏🏼
You have to think at some point that they throw the ball to tyreek too much. You can get away with it against poor teams but they got serious diminishing returns from waddle specifically this year. Tua also is very bad outside of structure if his first option is open he typically hits them in stride every time but he is not by any means even an average improviser. A pass catching TE could help them so much as it encourages more 12 personnel and can diversify their passing game without sacrificing what they do running the ball. But bottom line tyreek needs to get the ball less and Tua needs to be better with second and third reads.
The problem for Miami is simple. Tua is not a good QB. Never was in the NFL. It isnt that they cant beat "good teams". They cant beat good DEFENSES. He has the best receivers in the game, and cant win against a good defense. It wouldnt have mattered if it was 50 degrees in KC, Tua wasnt going to win against KCs defense. He is way over hyped, becuase he has great receivers, and a good running game to lean on. Just like SF, and competent game manager can win with those weapons, and that system. Tua is just average. His stats are a product of his receivers, not his ability.
There are Two Things that NFL fans & analysts _REFUSE_ to learn: 1) we have NEVER SEEN a QB succeed without great receivers. Aaron Rodgers last year. Patrick Mahomes _this_ year both played as well as they ever did, but their results tanked for lack of decent receivers. If you want an extreme example, Rich Gannon had *never been **_IN_* any MVP discussion. Then at age 39 won the MVP award in his only season with Jerry Rice... Who also earned an MVP for a failed starting QB who was the back-up in San Fran for years precisely because he was so terrible. 2) Play-calling. After just seeing it with the Eagles *_ALL_** year This Year* y'all still *want to believe that* QB success is all due to the QB's talent always. Then how tf is Justin Herbert worse than noodle-arm Tua? Despite the fact of what you yourselves see, you always return to your previous beliefs. Yet Dak played way better than last season after _losing_ one of his main receivers (Dalton Schultz) due to play-calling only. Wake tf _UP!_
Paying Tua the big QB numbers would just not be worth it, as spending the huge money ensures they'll struggle to extend Hill/Waddle/Achane/big defensive guys as the road goes on. I don't mention Mostert since he's on the older side and probably can walk with Achane still on roster, then they can get a different #2 guy that fits the scheme. It's a question that if Tua asks for big money then should they consider letting him walk and looking at the late first round at the QBs still available? Or wait till second round after getting OL in the first.
Where do you get your footage from. I’m trying to make videos like this but I get copyrighted. I’ve been trying to find highlights without branding but I’m unsuccessful. Is there like a subscription you have to pay for or a website that has highlights?
Such an interesting division. All 4 teams are coming up on major crossroads. The situation with Tua feels so similar to Cousins in Washington. If they forego the tag and just want to lock him up, a contract somewhere between the Daniel Jones and Dak Prescott contracts seems appropriate to me, but I think the tag is the way to go. He reminds me a lot of Chad Pennington, for better or worse.
I like Tua, and I would have loved for him to “That Guy”, but objectively, I think we need to move off of him. I think we just saw his ceiling. He looks awesome, when conditions are ideal, but when things start to break down, and get tough, he can’t adapt and overcome. Every time we’ve had a must win situation with him, he’s come up very small. We really need to roll the dice on someone else. Otherwise we’re just going to get more of the same next season.
Might be, but how much of that was McDaniel with his consecutive WR screens on 3rd&long? Also the broken oline.. it's easy to throw early off your back foot and get a pick when you KNOW you don't even have 2.5 seconds
I think that one of the major downsides of tua is literally just his arm strength, like if he had the same decision making, speed, pocket presence etc but better arm strength then they'd be so much better as a team. Like with Tyreek on the team he can bust any deep coverage, but with tua under center teams don't have to dedicate another man to deep coverage and can instead close down the lower areas and support the run defense on option plays. Just imagine a guy like Herbert in the system, like he'd be able to make that f it Tyreek is down there, as well as utilize the route running of waddle and their absurdly deep wr/te and RB rooms. I feel like Miami needs to pull a rams/Lions trade, take Herbert since the chargers might want to retool. I think their defense will recover and be solid enough in the next year, but really that lack of deep threat due to tuas arm really sacrifices a lot of the strengths that Miamis offense provides
@@rgs1381 his accuracy is amazing, and he's a really good mid range dot thrower, but he just doesn't have the max range to just have Tyreek run straight go routes and not under throw him. Again Tua is an incredible QB, accurate all the way through, but he just can't quite yam the ball 60 yds which ends up limiting the potential plays you can run with this offense
The biggest issue is the O-Line. When good D-Lines can consistently pressure the QB with 4 men and drol 7 into coverage, every QB in the league will struggle. The offensive scheme had to completely shift after Connor Williams got injured and we faced better teams. A lot of the narratives around football are lazy takes from people that either don’t watch the team or understand football beyond the basics
i think dolphin needs jim harbaugh mentality not the person itself... basically jim harbaugh no matter where he goes his team plays physically even if they are out talented. college NFL its the same. dolphin is a fitness team, basically its a nice way of saying they can win pretty when the game goes their way but they cant win when its close and you have to get low and dirty to get a win. in playoff top teams play super physically thats how you win, on offense they run down your throat even if u know they going to do it. and on defense we going to hit you hard and shut down the run and go after the QB. thats basicaly what being physical means.
That’s the problem with you guys and why you’ll never win. It took Peyton manning 10 years to win his first Super Bowl. Arron rogers took 7 years to win his first. It took Ben rotheslburger 6 and Eli manning 4 years. You guys look at PATRICK MAJOMES AND BRADY AND EXPECT EVEY QB TO BE LIKE THAT. Unrealistic. Be patient with your QB and maybe the dolphins might actually win something and not a a laughing stock.
Injuries on the O-line and defense depleted this team tremendously. Tua didn't get sack as much because he releases the ball so quickly. McDaniel also made mistakes by not running the ball more and not coming up with better adjustments at halftime. Second half for this team were not good. Pick the fifth-year option and see if Tua can improve in some of his deficiencies. Elite or even very good QBs are not readily available and most college QBs not always succeed at pro-level.
We didn't have our top four pass rushers. Actually, top five counting Jerome Baker. But the defense did its job. It was only a 12-point game in the 4th quarter
Honestly would love the move. He’d finally have a good team around him with a very competent coach and almost any organization not named the panthers is better ran than Arizona.
Both the teams I called frauds all year (cowboys and dolphins) got embarrassed in the wild card round, and my bills got to rip the AFC East away from the squishy fishies
Bills fans are so stupid imagine gloating about beating the mason rudolph lead Steelers. Meanwhile your franchise still has never won a Super Bowl despite appearing 4 times in a row and now having a supposed top 3 qb.
I think the biggest factor is O line. McDaniel has to make all these complicated sweep plays because there is essentially zero run blocking. I’m there best blocker is there FB Ingold so I think that the biggest problem. I can agree that Tau does not have a big arm but he is insanely accurate. Every WR that has played with say they have never played with a more accurate QB. If u give tua time he will kill you but if he had to improvise he will sure. The biggest strength of the dolphins should be his accuracy but because of O line they have to focus on speed
A lot of things factored into the Dolphins late swoon. First the D. When they had everyone, they were formidable. However, losing half your starters or more was devastating and it's not just being scored against. It also means being on the field longer which translates into the offense having less time to perform. On the offensive side, I think I'm right in saying only one OL that started the first games was still playing in the last game. Interesting when Tua had the A team on the line, his numbers (more points, more yards and fewer INTs) were much better. Then there were mental mistakes galore that cost us games. ie Chubb's helmet throw against Tenn. Hill's fumble TD and dropped TD against KC in Germany. That's 14 points, we lost by 7 and don't forget the bad snap. . Not counting the Raven loss, we lost by a total of 8 points in the losses against Buffalo, and Tennessee. In each we had stupid penalties that probably cost us both games. All that said, I do believe we became way too predictable on offense. That and the fact the Ds had learned our tells, made it hard on the offense, as it didn't seem we ever made adjustments. We were running the same plays in December that we ran in September under the same situations. One example. The sideline swing pass to Hill. Early in the season, it was routinely going for 10 yards or more. Late in the season, as often as not he didn't get back to the line. There's reason for that. The D knew the tells that told them what was coming. Bottom line we need to be more focused to avoid penalties and drops and more adaptive with our play calling.
Walking out of the season I have two thoughts. One is that they came into the postseason (or even really the last few regular season games) too injured to succeed. You kind of dodge the topic in this video, which is your prerogative, but I think in the process you minimize the situation. It wasn't that they were down their two best pass rushers, they were down arguably like 6 or 7 of their best 10 players on defense by the wild card round, and almost all of their offensive line starters, and then their skill position people were coming and going game to game or even play to play. This can read as an excuse and obviously injuries are an element of every team's season, but I look at it more the other way: how do we fix this, or at least try? Because we obviously have to; the defense was really clicking hard for a while and then got obliterated by injury down the stretch and we see the results of that. The other I'm no less sad about, because I really was a believer in Tua, but I don't know if I'm confident he's good enough to treat as though he doesn't limit the team's potential anymore. Obviously worse QBs than Tua have played in or even won a Super Bowl, but you get kind of to the heart of things which is that he's going to draw The Guy money and I don't know that it makes sense to treat him as such. Breaks my heart to even think about because I love the dude. I'm hopeful as he keeps playing and practicing he'll continue elevating, because I think a big obstacle between now and his best play is confidence, but as you note, the clock is running out.
Isn't it funny how fans and media are all about draft, draft, draft, and then roster, roster, roster, but at the end of the season people think you should be just as good even though you're missing 1/3 of your starters. In essence you are playing with a different team then the one you started with.
The Dolphins need a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator plus they need a head coach who can get this team to play better against elite teams and win meaningful games in December and January and not melt down the stretch when opportunity comes
Right, because the offense was the problem... Tf do you get these opinions from? They had one of the most potent offenses in the league and one of the worst defenses. Id say watch the games but it shows in the stats as well. Calling for mcdaniels head is crazy
Winning under a JV team is a lot different then getting your ASS handed over to you from a senior team. I don't think Tagovailoa has the arm and the leadership to take the Dolphins into the next level.
so you honestly think any other QB would do better behind the Dolphins O-Line? the ONLY reason the dolphins did as well as they did on offense is because Tua got rid of the ball so fast. how good was our running game really when we could never convert on 3rd and 1. we need a better interior offensive line.
My overly simplistic thought is that Miami right now feels like they're built for a sprint, while the NFL season is a marathon. Miami's 2024 success is going to very much depend on the coaching staff doing a lot of work to identify their weaknesses and devise a plan in the draft and free agency to fix them. And isn't this Tua's first full season as a starter (no injuries, benchings)? QBs still do take time to develop, if you just ignore CJ Stroud wrecking expectations for all the rookie QBs next year. I'd keep Tua on the rookie deal and if he excels or shows more improvement, then you can franchise tag & extend him. And for two years in a row, the Dolphins did have a bad time with injuries. All teams deal with this, but it certainly has not helped the team. I don't their situation is dire, but this is a critical off season.
when you look at tua and he has 7 Td's and & 7 int's and a 43QBR in all the losses to good teams that's not going to get it done he should be paid around what jones makes for the giants
Our defense bled points from the first game of the season onward , even when we where healthy . Our offense had 8 of 11 wins against the Jets x2 Patriots x2 Chargers Broncos Giants Washington Panthers Thoose teams had a combined win loss record of about 36 and 88 or something close . Our offense scored about 52 points in the last four or 5 games combined in the second half of t house games down the stretch. Running the ball up the middle or throwing to yhe right was non existent for the most part . And every team knew the offense was geared toward a 2 second release and throw to the left left center or line of scrimmage . We had absolutely zero adjustments which I blame that on mcdaniels . We got alot of problems . And we looked like deer in the headlights as soon as we get behind , no leaders. Tua wasn't the entire problem , he just has no more to improve upon , it may have been his best season also
Miami should trade Tua away while he still has value. He will cost too much money and cripple the team salary cap wise for a QB that is a mid level starter at best. In his last three games Tua went 59/104 56.7% 609 yards 5.9 yards per attempt 4 TD 5 INT 66.55 Rating. I know those stats came against good teams, but Tua has shown that he plays poorly in big games. The Dolphins need to take what they can get this offseason since Tua played every game, removing the injury cloud that has been over his head.
The problem, one of the problems Mike McDaniels got us some early wins and that’s what you supposed to do and when defenses caught up with that scheme, we should have evolved, but we did not mike Daniel thought The scheme would carry us through the whole season and onto the Super Bowl. He has to learn to make adjustments on the fly and after halftime. I honestly feel he gets too cute and overthink it like this is definitely a running situation, but I’m going to fool them and pass just like the Seahawks did with New England in the Super Bowl on the goal line when they should have given it to Marshawn Lynch, and they didn’t fool anybody but themselves
That’s the problem with you guys and why you’ll never win. It took Peyton manning 10 years to win his first Super Bowl. Arron rogers took 7 years to win his first. It took Ben rotheslburger 6 and Eli manning 4 years. You guys look at PATRICK MAJOMES AND BRADY AND EXPECT EVEY QB TO BE LIKE THAT. Unrealistic. Be patient with your QB and maybe the dolphins might actually win something and not a a laughing stock.
Bo Nix maybe? I wouldn’t sign Tua they’re gonna be the only team that’ll pay him 250 and it’d be a huge mistake. I like Bo Nix if he falls to them, maybe even turn Tua into a bridge for Penix. They need a quarterback with better tools. A deep ball, better footwork. They have to get that in the draft they’re not getting Mayr or Caleb
The Tua issue is the biggest issue because who the heck could you replace him with that won't set you back to a bad team again. You can't pay him the crazy money he's going to ask for and you can't replace him your not in tge right spot for the draft and really there is no franchise qb in this year's draft.

I think a large part of his success is because of MMD. When they lost at Buffalo MIA backup was able to keep the game within 4 points and they put up 30 (with an INT). In think Tua would flourish playing for a dome team, AFC East is not the best situation for him. He has limitations that will always be exposed by the elements in Dec/Jan. But that doesn’t mean that there can’t be a win/win for the player and the organization. MIA needs to find a trade partner.
There is no rocket science behind it, Tua did well when his o-line was healthy, the line was inconsistent and then injuries took the starters out one by one. What QB has succeeded with a bad o-line?
Tua is trash u can't have the two fastest receivers in NFL history a run game and lose 3 chances to get in the playoffs vs Baltimore lost vs buffalo lost vs chiefs lost
Jalen Phillips at DE is a difference maker...he is one of the most athletic defensive players in the league...loosing him and Chubb and the LB's whose name I can't recall right now who became our best pass rusher after Phillips and Chubb went down meant we had a shell of our defense.on the field.
Everyone’s forgetting the real reason Miami collapsed down the stretch… the Claypool curse
Miami likes to pay players who don’t contribute. Why did they ever sign him is a mystery to me.
@@RayPaganJrThey didn’t sign him they traded for him
They have collapsed every year Tua has been the starter, they only had Claypool this year.
They should have played him. The weak link on the team was the QB. You can't just throw to T.Hill.
@@royk7074 That is how Tua has played his whole time in the NFL. He always overly favors on WR.
You can call Purdy a system qb but at least bro can win games 💀
Put him on another team, he’d be ass. Stop the madness, he’s mid at best. The players around him are the reason they’re as good as they are
Purdy won 1 more game than tua this year
Except for when Shanahan gets out coached.
@@benjaminratner8637 can win games versus winning teams... happy now?
@@benjaminratner8637at least purdy isn’t exclusively a warm weather QB
As a dolphins fan:
A) Mike McDaniel is a must keep. He wasnt perfect this year but he’s young and doing 9/10 things the right way. He’s the bright spot to build around for our future
B) Fangio has some potential to develop this defense some more, I think we give him a season more to see how the defense can continue to develop in 2024
C) It’s a mistake to pay Tua. Love the dude, but he is at that Kirk Cousins level of QB- certainly a starter for years to come, but he just can’t show up in big games. With the roster we have built, we shouldn’t be choking two seeds and not showing up for our playoff games. When you look at the QB play in those performances and its subpar? that’s a problem. I feel bad, there’s always some group calling for his job each season, but IMO unless he wants to meet us in the middle contract wise its just bad moneyball to sign this dude for multi-millions.
D) I’ve known since the Titans game we were cooked
E) I’ve known since I was born that I would never know true happiness as a sports fan. We deserve to be spoken of in the same air as the lions and browns and jets and commanders… the only difference is we’re slightly better at winning meaningless games year in and year out
Hope you know that if the fins let go of Tua you're in poverty hell for the next decade or more. He would probably go to a team with a more solid foundation of OLine and do what he does best: Pocket pass with elite timing and accuracy. Honestly at this point with how Miami fans act towards him I hope it happens. I'd love to see Miami not even SNIFF a playoff and do nothing for another 25 years lol
Tua doesn’t play well unless everything goes perfectly for him. It would be ridiculous to make him the highest paid qb in the league like some people want
Agree that Tua isn't elite and also risky given his concussion history. But, in this league, even average QBs get top money because there is no other option behind the starter. Owners won't let them walk out and go back to searching.
As a fellow Dolphins fan It was extremely comforting to read this anecdote knowing that someone analyses the situation the same way i do.
Pay Tua 25m a year
As an Eagles and Tampa fan (born in PA, live in Tampa) -- please do a video on last night and the trajectory of both teams. They seem to be total polar opposites with Baker redemption and Jalen collapse. Love your channel.
I second this. As a fellow Eagle fan, I have no idea where we go from here. Coaching was terrible & I also have no clue on how to evaluate Jalen.
@@ifheavenwashuman Jalen is fine. The problem is the coaching is very bad
I know baker was hurt too and baker showed up and showed out but Jalen didn’t collapse he got injured multiple times this season and they kept using him like he wasn’t, the game last night Jalen had a fine game, wasn’t his fault he had recievers down and wasn’t his fault defense didn’t want to tackle, the collapse of the eagles coaching would be more accurate
@@maskedman5657 Jalen may be fine physically, but he lacks a lot of intangibles that make a great QB great. He lacks leadership and the ability to boost a teams morale and rally the troops. The last 7 weeks he's been sitting on the side lines looking dejected almost like he doesnt even want to be there. Maybe part of it is being unhappy with the coaches, but Jalen def played a part in this collapse.
I also question his judgement and inability to go through his progression. He seems to have one WR in mind before the snap and if they're not open, the play falls apart.
I dont think he lost the game for the Eagles, but also only scoring 1 TD against the Bucs isn't a good showing. He needs to improve. They're paying him top 5 QB money, and he hasnt shown that the last 7 games.
@@omgbaxtergames You would feel defeated if the coaches were having you run that pedestrian offense all year and your defense wasn't helping you at all when it came to not giving up scores.
Jalen showed that he had all the intangibles in the Superbowl last year. He played absolutely bonkers in the playoffs. Not as far as stats but his progressions, his reads, and as far as extending plays.
They need better coordinators
Can we also please recognize the profound effect the loss of Connor Williams had on the dolphins? With and without him, the stats speak for themselves.
I'm a dolphins fan, the offense can't fall apart just because 1 player is out that shows our lack of depth. And of course going into the draft earlier this year our "genius" gm said he wasn't concerned about the o-line
I agree. Eichenberg is sooooooo bad
We 100% can. I did a video last month on players that are going to get paid this off-season and included him in that video. Connor is a great player
If I was Connor Williams agent I’d ask for more money than Tua if that’s the case…
@@tonerz0fdubb716 Smallish Pocket QBs need a string interior pocket and with 4 Oline missing at one point and 2 LG and Center missing down the down the stretch. Online depth and development are a need. Tua is good borderline great QB, but do you pay him great QB money?
I think you have too. I'll rather be good than25+ years of what Miami was. Tho, some hard choice has to be made with contract (Hunt, Wilkins, Connor) All I think Miami need or need similar level of player for a cheap price point.
Some of the offensive issues are on Tua, But the play of the line and play calling by mike McDaniel was equal part poor. Pay your players you can afford and solidify that Oline at all cost. Increase the effectiveness of the Run game while better protection for a smaller QB!
Replace players you lose with cheaper contracts and stop gaps. The pass rushers will miss the start of the season and Van ginkal will be probably too much to retain. (I would try my best to keep AVG and bring in a mid-level player like EDGE JONATHAN GREENARD, HOUSTON TEXANS and EDGE JADEVEON CLOWNEY, BALTIMORE RAVENS)
players that won't be overly high in demand and can provide good run support and some pass rush.
Draft replacement players at DB (CB and safety) and LB as I would suspect that Baker, Ogbah and X will be cut or traded (even if they take pay cuts they will probably be gone the following years)
Sign a few older players with something to prove (like CLOWNEY) who skills may be limited but show high compatibility. Wish list player is TE but the needs are else where.
So many things that plague Miami.
First off the injuries have been plaguing them since the jump. And it really hurt them on the oline. Miami Oline ALWAYS gets tua sacked in key moments.
Second, The defense has been inconsistent all year. That has to do with injuries and putting people in different spots. But Also Vic Fangio putting players in the wrong spot for too long. My opinion is that Fangio should have BENCHED eli Apple. Hes such a trash and low effort player.
Third, Mike McDaniels makes games way too complicated at times. He chooses to pass way too often when you know for a FACT. That your offense has a great run game. Why?!!! Run tha dang ball. Your pissing off Mostert and Achane.
As a dolphins fan I couldn’t agree more. Well said 👍
This what I’ve been saying man, this team relied way too much on the pass. If it was Herbert it might work but Tua’s arm is not his strength don’t know why the hell they didn’t run the ball more. It’s not like they don’t have talented RBs
Tuas got plenty arm.... herbert has a good squad...@TheJadariusExperience
& very true masked man
You missed the biggest issue, Tua's poor play in big games. He does well picking on weaklings and falls apart against good teams.
DCs figured out that Tua predetermines where he is going to throw the ball. If you can take away his initial choice, he doesn’t know how to read a defense to go anywhere else. Then he either gets sacked or throws a pick. His accuracy is the only saving grace. It has allowed him to fit balls into windows that other qbs can’t hit. But it only compounds the problem because it makes him seem better than he is.
Exactly, he is Mahomes without the athleticism and size
@@PoeticSkizzyhorrible comp. mahomes can go through reads, extend plays, push the ball deeper down the field. worst take i’ve ever seen
@@PoeticSkizzy More like he is Fields without the athleticism or arm strength.
@@angelicalynn1259this is is single smoothest brain taken I’ve ever seen
No. On so many levels, no
Agree/Disagree on the point of Miami throwing the football VS the Chiefs.
The Chiefs had little issue with throwing the football (Rice/Kelce specifically), and Miami has been much more successful than the Chiefs *all season* at throwing the ball.
It seems the bigger issue was throwing 4/5 check downs and/or passes *behind* the line of scrimmage every-single-drive.
Rarely saw this team attacking the middle of the field during the Wildcard round, which was surprising considering how successfully they had managed scheme mid-field plays all season.
I can't help but smile, imagining what Mahomes would do with Tua's offense.
@lars808....someone knows football...love to see it
I know it's hard to believe, but Mahomes is a lot better than Tua.
Tua has physical limitations that cannot be overlooked anymore and I’m not just talking about his arm strength. Patrick Mahomes isn’t the greatest “running” QB in the league but he is at least athletic enough to scramble for a 4 yard first down if need be which I haven’t seen Tua do too often.
He’s undersized, he would get folded
@@PoeticSkizzy that’s why you slide
I think the most likely outcome for Tua is that he gets the Kirk Cousins in DCA treatment: a couple of franchise tags and then walks to some other sucker team.
Franchise Tag makes the most sense
ITA, total franchise tag here. Tua has to prove himself.
The problem with Tua is that he's good, but is he good enough? NFL is a quarterback league and the thing is you can't just dump Tua, you actually need somebody better. Who's better AND available?

@@CowboysJit you did not just say Dak & Tua are the same 🤣

@@arrozjuntonah dak is better just lets the noise get to him and chokes, I think dak has more talent.
@@arrozjunto😂 100
So like p. Manning?
Guys all focus on the cold, which to me is a secondary issue. The problem is they choked the division at home and Tua has a tendency of not showing up against tough opponents when things matter. Titans game in the 9-8 season, Buffalo and Kansas City this year. I would not recommend sticking with him long term, even with a diminished salary as he would handicap the team by getting injured and underperforming in clutch time. He is at best another Dak or Kirk, who can get you into the playoff but that's it. I hope he prove me wrong next year under the fifth year option, ball out and win a SB, or at least reach the Championship Series. At this moment though, that's my verdict on Tua.
Their coach is too soft on them n hes a bum ass coach to top it off
NFL- Stop overpaying mid Quarterbacks impossible challenge
That’s the problem with you guys and why you’ll never win. It took Peyton manning 10 years to win his first Super Bowl. Arron rogers took 7 years to win his first.

Miami’s problem has always been our QB, for all the numbers and accuracy he puts up Tua is a limited glass cannon whose strength is also his weakness, also didn’t help at all that half our team was injured by the time playoffs came around
Don't give TT a big contract. Draft a young QB get rid of Xavien Howard, Armstead, and use the capital to build an oline. Build an offense around a stout running game and defense.
So far, Dolphins' salary cap status is about 287 Million, 42 Million over the cap. Tagovailoa and Waddle are playing under rookie contract, so the cap situation will be more difficult if Dolphins decide to keep them. Dolphins have to release several key players before the 2024 season, or they will become a team like Saints, that are plagued by aged and expensive players.
Sounds like they will be bad next year
Waddle and Tua were not drafted in the same year silly goose
Waddle was drafted in 21. He can be extended another year.
There is no situation that is difficult coming off of this season. We are fine. The Dolphins franchise has been a very difficult situation since Marino and Shula left over 2 decades ago, so this is the most positive "bad" situation we have been in. We have problems to fix and Tua has some additional development to do but I am not worried. Making any major changes should not occur going into 2024 season. If there are no results next year, its time to make some changes, but you do not blow up a situation that has improved for the past 2 seasons just yet. The fact NE just fired Belichick shows how spoiled NFL fans have become. Instant success doesn't happen and takes work.
Tua is not a cold weather QB he is 0-7 and the problem is he plays in the AFC EAST
Not a warm weather QB either. He lost to the Titans and the Bills (for the division) at HOME. Tua is a fraud
@@lilquakeroats554 up by 14 with 3 min left not all on Tua. plus led the league in Passing yards he's not horrible
@@IGOTGAMEAJ Jameis Winston in 2019 led the league lol. Tua sucks! He cowers in fear of getting hit, soft as hell
This is the same old issue with Miami spanning decades (even back during much of Marino’s career). Our mighty Phins are just physical or talented enough at the line of scrimmage, specifically on offense. Football is built around a fundamental of blocking and tackling. To win the important games, playoffs and the Super Bowl you have to do both and pretty well to get to the promised. And, as was abundantly clear, Miami can’t block a lick.
This reminds me of when the Bengals had Dalton. Some qb's can't win big games but it's tough to that guy especially when you win a lot of games, probably have no choice but to re-sign him.
Patriot's fan view of the Dolphins - Talented roster, but no heart.
Great video. Watching the Ravens beat the dolphins changed my mind about their offence. Their front line needs to be bigger, they need an all pro tight end, and they need a running back that can run through and drag people with him as he runs. They also need to alter their strategy in play calling , those timed quick release plays are great given perfect conditions and staffing levels but when you have injuries, we saw how that panned out.
Their defense had a lot of injuries but I thought played pretty well. They are fairly young and should eventually gel.
McDaniel worked on Tua's style of play, avoidance, and awareness in the pocket (I'm pretty sure Dan helped there) . Tua's contract? I would offer 3 years, keep the dollar amount real given his play so far. Losing sucks, but builds character. A good coach adjusts and finds ways to improve by strategy and personnel change. Phins up P.S. Take a couple of pages from Dan Campbells play book.
Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself. You see Miami's situation exactly as I do. You are therefore a genius, of course.
Huge Dolphins fan, not only would I not pay Tua this off-season, but I'd hold off on committing long term to anyone except maybe Robert Hunt at LG. I just think with the free agents we have this year, the guys we have coming up next year, the injuries to key players like Chubb/Phillips, and the real question of how high the ceiling is for this roster, it would be borderline negligent to keep investing in a stock that's not paying dividends. They're already too far into this "window" to just blow it up at the end, with the contracts already guaranteed, the resources they used to get guys like Hill/ Chubb, and the cap situation. I believe our only choice is to run it back next year, but if I'm Chris Grier, I'm waiting until after next season to reassess where the franchise is at before making any long term plans.
Tua is going to ask for at least Daniel Jones money and I don’t think you can pay him like that and remain competitive
Let him seek a trade. Once he sees his worth he will come down to earth. If someone i dumb enough to pay him, let him go.
YEAH, what they forgot was the MOST IMPORTANT thing…BUILDING AN ALL PRO O-LINE.
Can you do one next on the cowboys. I really want to know what the next step is for us. That game against Green Bay was a disgrace
I'm sure Jerruh, will collect some scalps, even tho he's the one responsible for all of this underachieving and outright failure.
Go Pack Go!

Go pack go!
Factz
I hate the cowboys but I thought they’d destroy.
His pocket presence has decreased dramatically. His first 2 seasons he was elite at extending plays (he kinda had to with the horrendous Oline he had). He was great at stepping up in the pocket and eluding sacks (least sacked QB in the league 2021 with the most QB pressures in the league). Might have something to do with the concussions but this season if he gets pressured the play is busted he just gets flustered and forgets how to play football.
They don't want him getting hit.
Amazing work sir. Beautifully edited vid. Enjoy the rich information in a digestible fashion.
Loved the circle on Lamar Jackson at 5:02 , gotta watch out for 8 😅
Tua seems emotionally soft and lacks the fire you see leader have. A paper tiger
go stand behind that offensive line for a play
Hi is soft
Me when I lie
The AFC is going to be ever harder next year, with Burrow coming back in Cinncy, the Browns with a real QB, Stroud improving in Houston, the Chargers with a real coach, Rodgers back with the Jets, and maybe even Jacksonville.
I'm assuming the Chief, Bills, and Ravens will stay as the top 3.
Which is why as a Chiefs fan I was furious at the refusal to get pass catchers this year.
Tua may be the worst off schedule QB in the league, if his first or second option is covered or he gets rushed he's screwed
That's why Miami gotta move off him. Because Tua is not going to suddenly become a versatile QB, and next year ALL teams will stifle him easily. The Dolphins are in clear danger of NOT making the playoffs next year with dumbo Tua at the helm.
If the Dolphins can't play in the cold then they are never going to be a serious playoff team and that's that. For the foreseeable future in any given year they're likely to play one or more play games in an outdoor stadium when it's freezing out. Maybe they should beg to be put in the NFC but even in the NFC there's still Lambeau in January and Philly is below freezing, both teams are likely to host playoff games in the coming years.
Basically it's "get the number one seed or give up." This severely restricts the already slim chances any team has to win a SB.
Crazy to me how they have a decent o line, great WRs, and good RBs and people still act like Tua isn’t the issue lol

Tua and the Dolphins just simply cannot offensively play through adversity. When you take away the middle and the run, they collapse. Tua is just not a game changer
That's because Tua performs well on 1st read only. After that, he's lost. He's too slow physically and intellectually.
Tua also just isn’t good, his success from college till now is built around being on super stacked offense’s and playing against bad teams talent wise. Problem is you don’t play bad teams in the playoffs.

The thing with Tua is, would any other coach get the performance out of him that McDaniels has done? Before he got there, Tua was heading toward bust status, and I don't know if much has changed outside of McDaniels maximizing Tua's talent. If I had my guess, the team plays through his 5th year option and they let it ride.
Yeah maybe because he shouldn't have played his first year.... only had waddle and gesicki his 2nd year .... 2 years of bad oline 2 diff oc's... and a defensive coach

McDaniels can't even use the whole playbook because of lack of arm strength & mobility. I can just imagine a true big arm dual threat QB in that offense..good kid, nice guy, but it's about winning

Where do you guys even get this half the playbook shit
@@austinarmstrong9729 I'm a 40 year fan, I want them to win just as bad as any other fan, but Tua is limited when it comes to certain things
@@austinarmstrong9729 I didn't put a percentage on it, but there would definitely be a few more runs & a few other wrinkles out of the rpo if Tua was more athletic & durable...no home field advantage in the AFC more than likely equals playing a game in a cold weather city...he hasn't proved he can win a big game yet , beat one team over .500 this year & that team got destroyed at home as a #2 seed after winning 16 straight home games...I know about the injuries, the oline definitely wasn't the same after Connor Williams went down, but it is what it is ... I don't think he's that QB to get us over the hump
No logical reason to extend Tua. They are the Cowboys of the AFC. They are a clutch QB away from an honest SB run.
Ahhh…

Tua is the 33rd best QB in the NFL
I’m evilandobtuseDoug, fixed your screen name to be more truthful, don’t quit your day job! He can’t stay healthy! Proved he could, He can’t throw the long ball, he proved he can! He’s the 33rd best QB, please when you have just a tiny bit of information to back up your ridiculous hyperbolic statement, please, chime back in! I’m sure that will be, NEVER ! Goodbye!
@@nomasterabovemenoslavebelo3628 Show me on a doll where I hurt you. Don’t go crying to your mom some random dude on the internet made you upset. Tua is garbage. He never proved shit except for the fact he’s pretty ass.
@@nomasterabovemenoslavebelo3628 Btw you just can’t accept facts that Tua is just garbage unless he’s playing against teams that are tanking 😉
Straight and to the point. Draft, free agency, salary cap, depth chart…. Chris Grier is going to earn or lose his position as GM with what he does. What I’m wondering now that I think of it is how did the Dolphins not know that this much turnover could happen this year. There’s a lot of big contracts coming to an end all at once. I think I read we had 25 free agents. Critical positions. How was this missed or allowed. We could be looking at an unrecognizable team next year.
Do you think they trade Tua to the Broncos, Steelers, or Vikings and then trade for Fields?
May I suggest Tua and his team go and play for fun in the cold right now. Get a taste of almost frost bite. So next your the team isn't moving at turtle speed. And by all means win home field advantage.
As a Houston oilers fan I knew the outcome of cold weather. Instant replay with Miami.
Don’t give Tua 40+ million
I can’t be a fan of this team anymore if we sign Tua long term
the offense struggled cause the system is a one trick pony and the coach isn't good enough to predict and evolve according to what defenses will do against it. After the 9-3 stretch defenses got booked up on them and out coached and schemed them. Likewise with the defense but not as bad as the offense. And to mention... Tua doesn't have the arm strength to take full advantage of Tyreek's speed.
I like Tua as a guy but he's in over his head
The lack of context in football is just exhausting. Thank you for noting the context of those 2 playoff games.
Im not a Dolphins fan but hearing them talking trash in goofy ways is just not the move.
miami should’ve drafted herbert
Dolphin fan here, we feel like we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, went from being on an emotional rollercoaster to a total crap show 💩
Pains up 🙏🏼
Man this could all be avoided if Tua would just throw right handed
I'm glad someone has the courage to say it
What does that have to do with anything?
@@billsfever Zooooom right over your head.
@@chuckmacgumbo I guess so.... So what am I missing??? 😂
@@chuckmacgumbo I'm guessing ppl must be saying a lefty can't play QB??? That shit wouldn't matter
You have to think at some point that they throw the ball to tyreek too much. You can get away with it against poor teams but they got serious diminishing returns from waddle specifically this year. Tua also is very bad outside of structure if his first option is open he typically hits them in stride every time but he is not by any means even an average improviser. A pass catching TE could help them so much as it encourages more 12 personnel and can diversify their passing game without sacrificing what they do running the ball. But bottom line tyreek needs to get the ball less and Tua needs to be better with second and third reads.
The problem for Miami is simple. Tua is not a good QB. Never was in the NFL.
It isnt that they cant beat "good teams". They cant beat good DEFENSES. He has the best receivers in the game, and cant win against a good defense. It wouldnt have mattered if it was 50 degrees in KC, Tua wasnt going to win against KCs defense.
He is way over hyped, becuase he has great receivers, and a good running game to lean on. Just like SF, and competent game manager can win with those weapons, and that system. Tua is just average. His stats are a product of his receivers, not his ability.
how is that Tampa's problem?
@@-EchoesIntoEternity- LOL. Its not. ITs Miami's.
I have no idea why the hell I wrote Tampa.
The problem with you is simple. You're a casual
There are Two Things that NFL fans & analysts _REFUSE_ to learn: 1) we have NEVER SEEN a QB succeed without great receivers. Aaron Rodgers last year. Patrick Mahomes _this_ year both played as well as they ever did, but their results tanked for lack of decent receivers. If you want an extreme example, Rich Gannon had *never been **_IN_* any MVP discussion. Then at age 39 won the MVP award in his only season with Jerry Rice...
Who also earned an MVP for a failed starting QB who was the back-up in San Fran for years precisely because he was so terrible.
2) Play-calling. After just seeing it with the Eagles *_ALL_** year This Year* y'all still *want to believe that* QB success is all due to the QB's talent always.
Then how tf is Justin Herbert worse than noodle-arm Tua? Despite the fact of what you yourselves see, you always return to your previous beliefs. Yet Dak played way better than last season after _losing_ one of his main receivers (Dalton Schultz) due to play-calling only.
Wake tf _UP!_
Raiders, jets, broncos, patriots all had good defenses
Paying Tua the big QB numbers would just not be worth it, as spending the huge money ensures they'll struggle to extend Hill/Waddle/Achane/big defensive guys as the road goes on. I don't mention Mostert since he's on the older side and probably can walk with Achane still on roster, then they can get a different #2 guy that fits the scheme. It's a question that if Tua asks for big money then should they consider letting him walk and looking at the late first round at the QBs still available? Or wait till second round after getting OL in the first.
They are a QB away draft bo nix
Bo Nix right 😂😂😂. Give me a break. Shows me you don’t know much

Such an interesting division. All 4 teams are coming up on major crossroads. The situation with Tua feels so similar to Cousins in Washington. If they forego the tag and just want to lock him up, a contract somewhere between the Daniel Jones and Dak Prescott contracts seems appropriate to me, but I think the tag is the way to go. He reminds me a lot of Chad Pennington, for better or worse.
I like Tua, and I would have loved for him to “That Guy”, but objectively, I think we need to move off of him. I think we just saw his ceiling. He looks awesome, when conditions are ideal, but when things start to break down, and get tough, he can’t adapt and overcome. Every time we’ve had a must win situation with him, he’s come up very small. We really need to roll the dice on someone else. Otherwise we’re just going to get more of the same next season.
Might be, but how much of that was McDaniel with his consecutive WR screens on 3rd&long? Also the broken oline.. it's easy to throw early off your back foot and get a pick when you KNOW you don't even have 2.5 seconds
@@tobymarol7329 The offense was designed on quick releases from Tua because he's a fragile porcelain doll, one more sack and his career could be over
I agree find a QB that has some talent and fire. Tua has no fire, hes a ho hum QB, doesnt fight when needed.
Miami needs a new QB, Tua is a back-up at best
I think that one of the major downsides of tua is literally just his arm strength, like if he had the same decision making, speed, pocket presence etc but better arm strength then they'd be so much better as a team. Like with Tyreek on the team he can bust any deep coverage, but with tua under center teams don't have to dedicate another man to deep coverage and can instead close down the lower areas and support the run defense on option plays. Just imagine a guy like Herbert in the system, like he'd be able to make that f it Tyreek is down there, as well as utilize the route running of waddle and their absurdly deep wr/te and RB rooms. I feel like Miami needs to pull a rams/Lions trade, take Herbert since the chargers might want to retool. I think their defense will recover and be solid enough in the next year, but really that lack of deep threat due to tuas arm really sacrifices a lot of the strengths that Miamis offense provides
Tua was accurate on almost every deep this season his arm strength isnt a problem like it was last year
@@rgs1381 his accuracy is amazing, and he's a really good mid range dot thrower, but he just doesn't have the max range to just have Tyreek run straight go routes and not under throw him. Again Tua is an incredible QB, accurate all the way through, but he just can't quite yam the ball 60 yds which ends up limiting the potential plays you can run with this offense
Arm strength AND athleticism
The biggest issue is the O-Line. When good D-Lines can consistently pressure the QB with 4 men and drol 7 into coverage, every QB in the league will struggle. The offensive scheme had to completely shift after Connor Williams got injured and we faced better teams. A lot of the narratives around football are lazy takes from people that either don’t watch the team or understand football beyond the basics
I offer him 1 year at $2.50

i think dolphin needs jim harbaugh mentality not the person itself... basically jim harbaugh no matter where he goes his team plays physically even if they are out talented. college NFL its the same. dolphin is a fitness team, basically its a nice way of saying they can win pretty when the game goes their way but they cant win when its close and you have to get low and dirty to get a win. in playoff top teams play super physically thats how you win, on offense they run down your throat even if u know they going to do it. and on defense we going to hit you hard and shut down the run and go after the QB. thats basicaly what being physical means.
Alabama QBs Tua, Mac, and Jalen, as starting QBs, all shit the bed.
That’s the problem with you guys and why you’ll never win. It took Peyton manning 10 years to win his first Super Bowl. Arron rogers took 7 years to win his first. It took Ben rotheslburger 6 and Eli manning 4 years. You guys look at PATRICK MAJOMES AND BRADY AND EXPECT EVEY QB TO BE LIKE THAT. Unrealistic. Be patient with your QB and maybe the dolphins might actually win something and not a a laughing stock.
What? Jalen almost won a superbowl😂 that’s more than most qbs in the league
Injuries on the O-line and defense depleted this team tremendously. Tua didn't get sack as much because he releases the ball so quickly. McDaniel also made mistakes by not running the ball more and not coming up with better adjustments at halftime. Second half for this team were not good. Pick the fifth-year option and see if Tua can improve in some of his deficiencies. Elite or even very good QBs are not readily available and most college QBs not always succeed at pro-level.
This
december dolphins
Dolphins don't swim arctic waters, it's for whales and orcas.
We didn't have our top four pass rushers. Actually, top five counting Jerome Baker. But the defense did its job. It was only a 12-point game in the 4th quarter
Kyler in Miami would be a nightmare.
Honestly would love the move. He’d finally have a good team around him with a very competent coach and almost any organization not named the panthers is better ran than Arizona.

Bro they went against the Steelers. Pipe down
Bills fans are so stupid imagine gloating about beating the mason rudolph lead Steelers. Meanwhile your franchise still has never won a Super Bowl despite appearing 4 times in a row and now having a supposed top 3 qb.
I think the biggest factor is O line. McDaniel has to make all these complicated sweep plays because there is essentially zero run blocking. I’m there best blocker is there FB Ingold so I think that the biggest problem. I can agree that Tau does not have a big arm but he is insanely accurate. Every WR that has played with say they have never played with a more accurate QB. If u give tua time he will kill you but if he had to improvise he will sure. The biggest strength of the dolphins should be his accuracy but because of O line they have to focus on speed
Trade Tua, can’t let another year to waste…
A lot of things factored into the Dolphins late swoon. First the D. When they had everyone, they were formidable. However, losing half your starters or more was devastating and it's not just being scored against. It also means being on the field longer which translates into the offense having less time to perform. On the offensive side, I think I'm right in saying only one OL that started the first games was still playing in the last game. Interesting when Tua had the A team on the line, his numbers (more points, more yards and fewer INTs) were much better. Then there were mental mistakes galore that cost us games. ie Chubb's helmet throw against Tenn. Hill's fumble TD and dropped TD against KC in Germany. That's 14 points, we lost by 7 and don't forget the bad snap. . Not counting the Raven loss, we lost by a total of 8 points in the losses against Buffalo, and Tennessee. In each we had stupid penalties that probably cost us both games. All that said, I do believe we became way too predictable on offense. That and the fact the Ds had learned our tells, made it hard on the offense, as it didn't seem we ever made adjustments. We were running the same plays in December that we ran in September under the same situations. One example. The sideline swing pass to Hill. Early in the season, it was routinely going for 10 yards or more. Late in the season, as often as not he didn't get back to the line. There's reason for that. The D knew the tells that told them what was coming. Bottom line we need to be more focused to avoid penalties and drops and more adaptive with our play calling.
Walking out of the season I have two thoughts. One is that they came into the postseason (or even really the last few regular season games) too injured to succeed. You kind of dodge the topic in this video, which is your prerogative, but I think in the process you minimize the situation. It wasn't that they were down their two best pass rushers, they were down arguably like 6 or 7 of their best 10 players on defense by the wild card round, and almost all of their offensive line starters, and then their skill position people were coming and going game to game or even play to play. This can read as an excuse and obviously injuries are an element of every team's season, but I look at it more the other way: how do we fix this, or at least try? Because we obviously have to; the defense was really clicking hard for a while and then got obliterated by injury down the stretch and we see the results of that.
The other I'm no less sad about, because I really was a believer in Tua, but I don't know if I'm confident he's good enough to treat as though he doesn't limit the team's potential anymore. Obviously worse QBs than Tua have played in or even won a Super Bowl, but you get kind of to the heart of things which is that he's going to draw The Guy money and I don't know that it makes sense to treat him as such. Breaks my heart to even think about because I love the dude. I'm hopeful as he keeps playing and practicing he'll continue elevating, because I think a big obstacle between now and his best play is confidence, but as you note, the clock is running out.
Isn't it funny how fans and media are all about draft, draft, draft, and then roster, roster, roster, but at the end of the season people think you should be just as good even though you're missing 1/3 of your starters. In essence you are playing with a different team then the one you started with.
Simple solution: Draft Bo Nix and let Tua walk after next season
Tom Brady with this play calling and offensive line would be lousy
The Dolphins need a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator plus they need a head coach who can get this team to play better against elite teams and win meaningful games in December and January and not melt down the stretch when opportunity comes
Right, because the offense was the problem... Tf do you get these opinions from? They had one of the most potent offenses in the league and one of the worst defenses. Id say watch the games but it shows in the stats as well. Calling for mcdaniels head is crazy
There’s a middle ground.
They don’t need a new qb but don’t need to pay Tua over 40m
Winning under a JV team is a lot different then getting your ASS handed over to you from a senior team. I don't think Tagovailoa has the arm and the leadership to take the Dolphins into the next level.
so you honestly think any other QB would do better behind the Dolphins O-Line? the ONLY reason the dolphins did as well as they did on offense is because Tua got rid of the ball so fast. how good was our running game really when we could never convert on 3rd and 1. we need a better interior offensive line.
My overly simplistic thought is that Miami right now feels like they're built for a sprint, while the NFL season is a marathon. Miami's 2024 success is going to very much depend on the coaching staff doing a lot of work to identify their weaknesses and devise a plan in the draft and free agency to fix them. And isn't this Tua's first full season as a starter (no injuries, benchings)? QBs still do take time to develop, if you just ignore CJ Stroud wrecking expectations for all the rookie QBs next year. I'd keep Tua on the rookie deal and if he excels or shows more improvement, then you can franchise tag & extend him.
And for two years in a row, the Dolphins did have a bad time with injuries. All teams deal with this, but it certainly has not helped the team. I don't their situation is dire, but this is a critical off season.
Couldn't said it better myself
when you look at tua and he has 7 Td's and & 7 int's and a 43QBR in all the losses to good teams that's not going to get it done he should be paid around what jones makes for the giants
Our defense bled points from the first game of the season onward , even when we where healthy .
Our offense had 8 of 11 wins against the
Jets x2
Patriots x2
Chargers
Broncos
Giants
Washington
Panthers
Thoose teams had a combined win loss record of about 36 and 88 or something close .
Our offense scored about 52 points in the last four or 5 games combined in the second half of t house games down the stretch.
Running the ball up the middle or throwing to yhe right was non existent for the most part .
And every team knew the offense was geared toward a 2 second release and throw to the left left center or line of scrimmage .
We had absolutely zero adjustments which I blame that on mcdaniels .
We got alot of problems .
And we looked like deer in the headlights as soon as we get behind , no leaders.
Tua wasn't the entire problem , he just has no more to improve upon , it may have been his best season also
Bottom 3 for 2024 cap space:
Chargers: $45M over
Dolphins: $51M over
Saints: $83M over
Gonna be a very interesting off-season.
Miami should trade Tua away while he still has value. He will cost too much money and cripple the team salary cap wise for a QB that is a mid level starter at best. In his last three games Tua went 59/104 56.7% 609 yards 5.9 yards per attempt 4 TD 5 INT 66.55 Rating. I know those stats came against good teams, but Tua has shown that he plays poorly in big games. The Dolphins need to take what they can get this offseason since Tua played every game, removing the injury cloud that has been over his head.
The problem, one of the problems Mike McDaniels got us some early wins and that’s what you supposed to do and when defenses caught up with that scheme, we should have evolved, but we did not mike Daniel thought The scheme would carry us through the whole season and onto the Super Bowl. He has to learn to make adjustments on the fly and after halftime. I honestly feel he gets too cute and overthink it like this is definitely a running situation, but I’m going to fool them and pass just like the Seahawks did with New England in the Super Bowl on the goal line when they should have given it to Marshawn Lynch, and they didn’t fool anybody but themselves
The regular season offensive powerhouses were all exposed as frauds so far.
Why they were throwing the football? Weren’t both of their RBs injured? Achane and mostert?
Tua is slow footed and has a weak arm. If Miami can't secure #1 seed in the playoffs, they are in trouble.

They need a quarterback with better tools. A deep ball, better footwork. They have to get that in the draft they’re not getting Mayr or Caleb
The Tua issue is the biggest issue because who the heck could you replace him with that won't set you back to a bad team again. You can't pay him the crazy money he's going to ask for and you can't replace him your not in tge right spot for the draft and really there is no franchise qb in this year's draft.

I think a large part of his success is because of MMD. When they lost at Buffalo MIA backup was able to keep the game within 4 points and they put up 30 (with an INT). In think Tua would flourish playing for a dome team, AFC East is not the best situation for him. He has limitations that will always be exposed by the elements in Dec/Jan. But that doesn’t mean that there can’t be a win/win for the player and the organization. MIA needs to find a trade partner.
There is no rocket science behind it, Tua did well when his o-line was healthy, the line was inconsistent and then injuries took the starters out one by one. What QB has succeeded with a bad o-line?
Tua is trash u can't have the two fastest receivers in NFL history a run game and lose 3 chances to get in the playoffs vs Baltimore lost vs buffalo lost vs chiefs lost
Jalen Phillips at DE is a difference maker...he is one of the most athletic defensive players in the league...loosing him and Chubb and the LB's whose name I can't recall right now who became our best pass rusher after Phillips and Chubb went down meant we had a shell of our defense.on the field.
Oh please every team has injuries, look at buffalo lost half of the team on defense...kicked Miami ass twice
No $10 million dollars
Their losses to good teams always came at the hands of the defense in my opinion
