Week 16: Saturday Games Thread TB at Detroit, SF at Zona, Mia at LV nightcap


Recommended Posts

I was someone who really, really didn't want the Dolphins to draft Tua. I was hoping they'd "mess it up" and draft Herbert.

So far -- and its admittedly extremely early -- it looks like I was completely wrong. Herbert looks like a special player, and Tua looks like nothing more than a game manager. I'm not seeing anything Tua does that is "special". He doesn't have special mobility, arm strength, creativity...I mean, I GUESS you could say he has special accuracy, but...I don't know. He hasn't looked like a guy who elevates those around him so far. He looks more like a game manager who benefitted greatly from the all-world talent at 'Bama.

There's lots of time for Tua to take big steps, but right now, I'm pretty glad that the Phins drafted him instead of Herbert.

You watch that Jets game late last year and you can see the dude just doesn't have the arm to play. Maybe it was a bad game, but he was throwing wounded ducks all over the field. Im pretty sure he's still here as Josh's buddy and the front office is just keeping their fingers crossed Josh doesn't get hurt.

Hopefully we just get through the year. They'll just let Barkley walk. Can't wait to see Fromm next preseason. Hopefully we have a smart backup with some juice.
