ESPN - AFC East QBs offer promise, but Buffalo Bills are clear 2021 favorite


Recommended Posts

Tua's a joke, Wilson will be a joke unless they baby him, Jones I think will fit what BB and McDaniels like to do more than Cam and he will takeover, but they will take some wins on Cam's legs the Oline and Defense first to keep defenses from having tape on Jones then when Cam gets hurt later in the season they will transfer over.

 

The Dolphins have a good roster but Tua limits them so unless we beat ourselves im not worried.

 

The Jets need a least year before we even know what they have, I think Saleh will be good for them but he's gonna need at least 2 years.

   Do they compromising pictures of him or something????

   Tua might not even be the starter much less on the team by 2024.

   High draft picks are great…… if they pan out.

 

Agreed on Tua him may not being a starter.  

As for the high draft picks, not necessarily a guarantee that Miami will hit on each and each player will develop

I don't think when it comes to Cam it may not even take an injury to make them decide to go with Jones.

I mean that wasn't the question, it was who had a better out look for the next three years and everyone else acknowledged the obvious the Bills having hit on QB and a good HC are the clear front runners in that debate. Patriots are probably 2nd with a proven HC.

 

Nailed it.  Only a buffoon looks at the current situations in Buffalo and Miami and concludes Miami will be “the team to beat” in 2024.

Well thanks to the OP and ESPN for a nice off-season article to remind me once again that our Bills are finally good again that I can read whilst I’m on the commode doing my business.  Uh oh I think my legs fell asleep. Been on it a little too long again.

What has Tua done that would make anyone think he's going to be elite? He's average in every category. 

Average? Is he average in any category? I mean, he might get better but he looks like he'll be on a bench in due time.

There’s no comparison between Allen and Tua, but I will give Tua slack in he could (and that’s could not will) develop into an average or competent QB.  He’ll get anywhere near in the ballpark of Super Allen, but then Allen played with crap in WRs in 18, and improved in 19, and went into the stratosphere in 20.  I’ve never seen anyone else improve that much that fast.  It’s possible not probable Tua could be a 16-20 ranked QB in three years.

 

What would concern me is Tua has another meh year, and Miami goes all in on Watson.

Bills are clearly the 2021 favorite, but the gap is closing faster than many may think.

 

- Tua will be improved this year and the Dolphins had a great draft. Tua has to be solid not great in that he's surrounded by talent 

 

- Jets will be better with Wilson and Gase is gone

 

- Once Jones takes over don't be surprised if the Pats go on a late season run

 

Also keep in mind that by 2024 Josh will have signed his 200M deal and the Bills could have to let alot of FA go.  So there will be a significant attrition of talent

Play much better than Allen did his rookie year where he was far below average. Why is it not possible Tua will get better just as Josh did?

I was never a big Tua fan and he may have already hit his ceiling due to average or below average arm strength. But no one really knows. 

In comparison; Tua is physically weak compared to Allen, and lacks the confidence Allen so evidently has, he can’t stiff arm a D lineman or line backer like Allen can and does, he can’t face mask anyone, and use him as a shield, Tua, broken hip, broken ankle, and wrist twice, the kid is fragile, Tua can not generate useful velocity on his passes at virtually any distance, did I mention Tua is tiny and weak? 😂  All I can say to folk is dream on with the idea Tua is going to be an above average QB, game manager is his ceiling if he gets lucky. The above is but a small sampling of why Tua will be a back up QB or out of the league in four or five seasons, jmo, 😁

 

PS, did all y’all know that Tua is Ancient Greek for a small weak man… 😁

Just a couple of questions about all of your points-what did the dolphins do in the draft that was “great?” I just looked at their picks and outside of the def lineman from Miami and none of those picks seem very “great”. Tua should be better but let’s be honest he couldn’t get much worse.

 

the Jets have a rookie head coach and Wilson put together one good season-not sure he can do much that Darnold can’t do.

 

and it’s going to be a rookie QB in New England that takes them on a run??

 

I’m not saying the Bills will definitely go 6-0 again in the division, but there’s a lot of worst case scenario (from the Bills perspective) in your post and not a ton of realistic expectations for those teams

So rookie QBs can't string together some games now? He said a late run, I don't think he was talking about a SB or AFC champion.

Yes, that’s exactly what I said-rookie QBs never string together some games 🙄

that’s a veteran team in New England with a pretty poor receiving corps, I’m not sure a rookie QB is what boosts them this year. Doesn’t mean the Pats won’t win a couple of games towards the end (or whenever he becomes the starter) but it won’t be because of Jones

First off, if your coaching staff puts you QB in the right situation why couldn't they succeed? 

 

Their TEs are better and WRs are better.

 

Line is better..I guess Josh McDaniels won't know how to scheme the offense to play to their strengths.

 

And he said a late run which could mean something as little of winning 10 games, a playoff spot.. he was being fai, but you're acting like he was talking about  a SB or something

I never said he couldn’t succeed, I said the games they win will not be because of Jones.

their tight ends are better, but they better be for all of the money they are paying those 2 guys. I don’t believe their receivers are better though. Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne? That’s what makes them

better? No defense is losing sleep trying to defend those 2 guys.

I would be shocked if they win more than 8 games, and if they do it won’t be because of their rookie QB-it will be because of their defense and coaching

Their wide outs aren't better than what they had last year? And they won 7 games.

 

Defense will be better (much better probably will be one of the better ones in the NFL, especially if Gilmore stays), and they are only going to be one game better in you opinion than last year? Ok.

I get that you have a fear of the Patriots, but you look at those WR and think that group has improved? How? Also, their QBs are Cam and a rookie-how much of a jump are you expecting them to make? Are you expecting double digit wins from them?

Yeah I don't see them doing anything more than last season. I think they will maybe win 7 games again, give or take a game. Maybe get to 8 wins. Guess you could call that an improvement.....lol

Definitely agree, just thought from a strategic standpoint if they think they can still get a couple wins with cam under center using primarily their oline/run game and defense that way teams dont have as much to work with a far as Jones goes and I figure BB for taking any edge he can get.  But they might just decide cam is too much of a liability and they go with Jones either way I hope BB retires soon and McDaniels either leaves or flops as his replacement.

BUT WHAT have you seen in Tua his rookie year  ?

Did you watch all of Tua's snaps last season? Did you see him lead his to a win in his first start? Did you see him throw a well-placed 50 yard pass, from the endzone, down the field to a streaking WR who dropped a for sure 90 yard TD? Did you see his receivers drop the sixth most passes in the league?  Did you see him almost bring his team back down three scores against the SB contenders without his top three receivers?

 

We all know that Tua didn't have a good first year but he showed things that gave fans hope for the future. Every QB prospect isn't going to have a cannon arm and stiff-arm LBs like Allen.

I saw more of a defense and ST that lead them to those wins, despite Tua. But I also am aware he was a rookie and obviously can improve. So time will tell.

Wow, this is crazy.   Who can predict the NFL 3 years into the future???   And Wolfe is high on Tag but does he really expect him to significantly outplay the league’s #2 MVP?   Fin fans will cheer if Tua becomes almost as good as Josh.

 

Given how quickly the NFL changes, 90% of Miami’s coaches and players 3 years from now will be different than today.   Who’s to say how that works out?

Generally speaking, yes, but not when you have an MVP-caliber QB entering his prime.  Those predictions are actually pretty easy.

 

It’s ridiculous to look at Buffalo and Miami right now and predict Miami will be better in three years.

Although it's actually his second, I view that Cardinals game as his first start since he barely did anything against the Rams. That LAR game was for sure led by the defense. 

 

Time will tell. Outside of a few runs, I didn't think much of Allen after his rookie season either but he immensely improved as the years went on.

You don't have to significantly outplay the best QBs to be a better team-- see Tannehill leading a better Titans team to while Watson is the best QB in the AFC South. 

 

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable making that big of a prediction until Tua showed more. Plus it's too far out. I do like the outlook of this Miami team especially if they can find a RB.

Sorry I can't post the link but in today's NY Daily News they do nice story reviewing all the QB's the AFC East. To no surprise they say Allen is the best and its not even close. They have Wilson last because he hasn't played an NFL game yet but they think he could become the #2 QB in the division. They were not klnd to Cam or Tua.

IMO Tua as big a question mark as Jones or Wilson. I say maybe even more so since he didn’t really impress last year at all. 
 

I mean Fitz looked lightyears better than him.  Which is bad for your 1st round QB.

I’m with you Duffs.  I want BB to desperately try and hold on for four more losing seasons to reafffirm he plays checkers not chess like every other coach, and Brady was the catalyst to his success.  It would be sweet to see Pats fans suffer for five straight years of losing seasons, then one of his coordinators take over and they keep losing (oh and we win the East for the next four years and beyond).

Pats went 7-9 and if they got AVERAGE QB play been easily 9-7 with one of the most untalented teams in the NFL. I dare say the talent level of last years team was probably 28th or 29th in the league.   Good coaching almost had them to .500.  
 

I would be shocked if they had a losing season this year. Now am I expecting them to challenge for the division or SB? Nope but I see a 10 to 11 win season with MAYBE a playoff birth.  Any true fan knows a rebuild takes time especially when you are replacing the most important position on O in QB.  That said it does help to have one of the best HC of all time leading the team.  

 

(Oh and I firmly believe it took both Brady and BB for the dynasty. Brady doesn’t even make the NFL if BB doesn’t see something in him.)

I see a few other people post this same thing, but if not a Bills fan that would be more familiar it's kinda expected. Allen had the worst WR core in Bills history imo and one of the worst I think I've ever seen in the whole league. Still he made some highlite plays, especially with his legs. But the surrounding cast he had in his rookie year played a major factor for sure.

 

I would say Tua had quite a bit better to work with than Allen. Not saying Allen didn't struggle, it's expected as a rookie, but WR' and OL for sure didn't help.

Tua sucks.

 

I saw him in a must win game versus the Bills where he choked and threw three interceptions in a 30 point blowout.

 

You are right, he doesnt have a cannon arm nor can he stiff-arm LBs,  Tua is small for an NFL QB and will be injury prone.  You cant coach size and he will never have it. At best he has a very low ceiling as an NFL QB due to his physical limitations.

 

Most of his wins last year were due to incredible defense and special teams play, he went along for the ride.

He had two games under 100 yards passing! Miami has good WRs and TE too.

I agree to a certain extent....he definitely didn't impress much. If I was also a Fins fan I too would be a little concerned, but being a rookie some struggles is expected and would want to see what he does next season.

 

See if he at least shows some promise and improve some to the point that he proves he can lead a team and move the ball better. If still looks same most of next season I think then I would be a lot more worried.

It would've been quite amusing exactly 2 years ago for someone to say that Josh Allen will be in the top 3 QBs in the NFL by 2020.

EDIT: such is the nature of punditry. SI ran a now famous cover story when the Astros were the worst team in baseball (by far) c. 2014 - "Your 2017 World Series Champions." If they had run a cover story with the caption, "Expect the Red Sox and Cardinals to continue to dominate their leagues for the next 3 years" nobody would've remembered it ... even if it had come true. It's fun to think about what happens to teams that load up on high draft picks. Sometimes it does all come together at once. Sometimes.

Tua has had elite coaching and weapons since his high school days.  He did not enter the NFL as a raw prospect that had a lot to learn.  Tua may very well improve over the next few seasons, but he has much less potential for improvement than many other QBS coming from lesser programs.  Of course he also had less bust potential coming out of college too. 

 

Tua was pulled from multiple games when they needed a gutsy performance and replaced by a very average, but fearless,  Fitzpatrick.  Tua never seemed that upset by the move.  Was that due to him being a professional and not wanting to cause issues, or does he lack the killer instinct that all great QBs posses?

I disagree.  IMO, the Dolphins made a huge mistake staying with Tua.  It makes their bold move of replacing Fitz with Tua, when Fitz was better, a mistake.   I thought Miami was discarding their fluke possibility at the playoffs for the long term.  The early look and decision of whether Tua was the long term answer.

 

They got to see what they had, and somehow came to the exact opposite conclusion that I had.  

 

Miami should have gone the AZ route and reloaded at QB with a do over while they had the chance (the #3 pick).

 

Huge blunder.  And I'm enjoying every  second of it.

Give me a prediction then, since those 2 all pro receivers make the pats so much better, how many yards will they have? How many touchdowns? How many games will the Pats win? Do you seriously think those 2 guys will significantly improve the pats this season?

I didn't read it that way. I saw it as the Dolphins drafted Tua to be a franchise QB and have had a lot more draft capital to surround him with an elite supporting unit. That statement is true. A lot of high draft picks filling slots on rookie contracts allows splashes in free agency too. With the amount of 1st and 2nd round picks they have had and still have, Tua only has to be Carr or Cousins to be competitive. I can see Tua landing in that range easily.

 

This was a solid pro Buffalo piece and they actually considered each team and where they were. NYJ - Saleh should be a solid coach and they have drafted well, Miami has an excellent coach and teams seem to love giving them high draft picks for not much in return. Pats - until the wooden stake is really driven home, no one will discount them. Everyone called Buffalo to repeat, and then noted who the next threat could be.

 

The only real dig I saw was about Bills fans writing a young QB off in year one. Minor snark, but he has a point. Tua, Wilson and Jones are basically unknowns. The Dolphins and Pats have solid cores, good coaching and unknown at QB. The Jets still have to prove they aren't the Jets.
