And considering the cast of WRs he had to throw for that Super Bowl run it's honestly even more impressive. People can crap on Cam all they want, for the few years he was he was at his peak in the league he was a force on that Panthers team.

Cam was the man

loved watching him work

Hardly. He was paid 59 million over 6 years. 24 million guaranteed. Less than 10 mil a season

that sounds like

good money to me

 

$82M in career earnings. Not bad for a journeyman. (and future Hall of Famer!)

im fully aware of the skill guys.  now name me an OLineman who matters for them.

Aaron brewer has been great the last year+ whenever I see him. The dolphins make no sense tua looked even better when his offensive line was worse lol. They’re actually playing pretty decent this year which is shocking. On paper they really shouldn’t be 

 

tua looks so uncomfortable when he gets time it is bizarre

say what you want about Cam. he dresses like a clown. he can be annoying.

but he did win a national championship. he had one of the greatest college football seasons i've ever seen.

he was the first overall pick. he led his team to a superbowl appearance and has an MVP. not exactly a guy with a clicker. he knows his football

Tua won a national championship as well and was a top 5 pick in the draft. Cam did all that because of unrivaled athletic ability, not because he was smart with x's and o's. I mean, I'm sure he knows football. He was an NFL QB. But that was never what made him special. It is usually the less physically gifted QBs (like Tua) who know the game better because they have to.

And lets be real, he was one of the top 40 players in the world at his position for over a decade. He earned that

Tua is locked in for next season the earliest the Fins could reasonably get out off Tua is 2027 and even then they have to take a 30+ million dollar cap hit...

It’s-a Tua much! 😙🤌

[Jerome007]

Tua is a quality QB, an NFL starter for sure, yet not elite, not even close to the Top 5. Yet he was paid as such, and I actually liked it very much when it was announced. IMO it made the Fins weaker, and well, that's good ha ha. We see it now. 

BTW that was my worry with Josh. That he would be good but not great. You know, the kind of QB you don't get rid of but that doesn't give you a real chance at the Big One. He buried  that worry quite fast ha ha.

If the league hadn't let defenders beat the living crap out of Cam he'd probably still be playing at a higher level than Tua.

Newton made a lot of designed runs inside the tackles, like a RB. I couldn't believe it. Not that you get injured, but all those hits have to affect the accuracy of a QB! Even small dings in your throwing shoulder and arm will affect it. Anyway, old news now. Just don't do that with Josh!

Tua cannot operate outside of the timing based system he is in now. He's not really mobile. His arm strength is meh. He's not going to create on his own. It was a massive overpay by Miami. 

[Mike in Horseheads]

Maybe the title of this thread should change to Tua gets 53m a year, Miami left holding the bag

Tua blew out his hip at Alabama and you get a lot of power from that trunk.. and he had a severe injury.. his arm was actually stronger by a decent amount pre-injury.. not that he had a Stafford or Josh Allen arm.. but he lost juice 

 

Go back farther to when he was in high school he was actually was more a gun slinger... he actually relied all on his natural ability which was he was an amazing thrower of the football 

 

When he went to the elite 11 finals.. Trent really grilled into him hard.. he was not a field general but a big play gunslinger who's talent led to a lack of some fundamentals... But over the three days he took to the best coaching and actually won the elite 11 finals 

 

It's a shame because I've liked tua since high school but his terrible injury at Alabama definitely affected his arm strength because a smaller guy like him needs that lower body to drive through and it was a catastrophic injury

 

Even just watch his game-winning pass as a true freshman in the national championship game and he threads the needle on a 40 yard pass..with timing and anticipation and good arm strength as an 18-year-old true freshman 

 

Not a favre or Josh Allen rope but for an 18-year-old kid, in the national championship game, coming off the bench... That's a hell of a throw not close to a lollipop

Not only that he cannot throw in poor weather conditions.  He will never win in January.

Yeah especially when he gave his best to recover that fumble in the Super Bowl🤔, maybe one of the all time lows I've ever witnessed from a professional athlete. After that display you don't have a lot of room to lecture.

[Jerry Jabber]

Hopefully the Dolphins extend Tua again after his current contract. He’s doing a great job for the Bills…cough, cough…excuse me, the Dolphins.

[Behindenemylines]

Let’s all accept the fact that physically gifted sometimes merges with intellectual ability at the  QB position.  
 

most times one ability covers the other but other times it doesn’t. 
 

Manning (pick you brother) had a higher football IQ than most and used that for SB. Nobody will state their athletic ability was above average. 
 

other times athletic ability covers and gets you so far.  Maybe to a SB.  
 

it’s a combo and I believe IQ Beats pure athleticism every time.   
 

as a Bills fan this leaves me overly optimistic
