Literally no one thought Herbert was going to be better. If LAC was picking ahead of Miami, he would have been the pick.
Untrue. ****, Tua was a huge risk just on the medical stuff alone.

If Tua played this way but was 6’5 with a rocket arm and 4.6 wheels I think we would be a little more patient.
he is 6’0, an overrated athlete, and has average arm strength. He also can read through his progressions
Novermber 1, 2020Herbert breaking records and Tua's using all his might to throw a pick 15 yards downfield.

Yeah my take was the talent isn't worth the injury risk. Thought it made sense to wait a year with the extra picks in 2021. Definitely didn't believe all the yards he racked up throwing RPOs and crossers to NFL dudes behind an NFL OL would translate.Tua coming back from that injury was a feel good story and the Dolphins got caught up in it. And playing qb at bama made the dude look way better than he is. Dolphin front office panicked. Should have traded down.
Got a chance to correct the error and draft a qb, do they have the balls like the cardinals?
I still don't fully reconcile what those people did to Herbert. We didn't see 1/3 of what he's shown as an NFL rookie. They limited him to like 2.5 total plays. Wild. That OC should be investigated.Yeah my take was the talent isn't worth the injury risk. Thought it made sense to wait a year with the extra picks in 2021.

Clearly Herbert was the optimal move but he was actually held back by coaching in college. I've seen firsthand (Bucs) how awful that OC Arroyo is.
Exactly, that's why you don't even think of taking Jones. Wilson has to be the guy.Yeah my take was the talent isn't worth the injury risk.

Dolphins quit because they knew they weren't going any where with Tua...Terrible game for the Dolphins. Tua deserves a lot of criticism. The defense was ***. Special teams. Everything. No matter what minimal expectations I had going into this season, they got raised along the way. Today was below expectations. Not only that, but has me more concerned and less patient about Tua. I wasn’t a big fan of picking him but rooting like **** for him. With this absolute gift of getting the 3rd pick and a deep QB class, the conversation needs to be had in the front office about pulling an Arizona This will be very interesting to see how it unfolds and what they see in Tua.
Dolphins made the dude a millionaire, he good
If that’s the case then we know what we gotta do. **** my life. Can one of our teams get it rightDolphins quit because they knew they weren't going any where with Tua...
I've never noticed till this year how much a player's story affects their draft prospects. I would've thought that scouts and analysts would look past that but they clearly don't.Tua coming back from that injury was a feel good story and the Dolphins got caught up in it.

There was a lot of pressure from the media for Miami to take the guy. It seemed like if Miami didn't take the guy it would have been the greatest draft travesty in the history of the NFL. One draft story that did work in Miami's favor was with Marino and the coke use.I've never noticed till this year how much a player's story affects their draft prospects. I would've thought that scouts and analysts would look past that but they clearly don't.
Tua coming in at halftime in the NC game was enough for the media to declare him the second coming that instant but the hype was clearly matched by scouts as well. After just 13 games in CFB there was a "tank for Tua" narrative and if not for Burrow emerging this dude would've gone #1 overall.
I think you're seeing the same thing with Lawrence this year. Freshman QB wins the natty over Bama and instantly he becomes the third greatest QB prospect to have ever lived. Clearly these scouts are suckers for good stories.
Actually his OC is now the HC at UNLV.I still don't fully reconcile what those people did to Herbert. We didn't see 1/3 of what he's shown as an NFL rookie. They limited him to like 2.5 total plays. Wild. That OC should be investigated.
Which is why I believe it’s not all playcalling. Tua doesn’t have Alabama open and can’t recognize NFL open. He holds the ball too long which was also a weakness at Bama. He’s partly to blame for his struggles.
