I’m currently in London and will be taking a few weeks off to get refreshed before the season. Thanks to all of you, each and every one of you for all the support, I can’t wait to get back ready to go for our FIFTH season together, insane. I’ll have the next episode for y’all August 5th, can’t wait for the games to start, and can’t wait to continue pumping out content!
Fins fan here, Tua obviously doesn’t have crazy physicals like a Mahomes or Allen but he’s a great west coast QB picking apart defenses with anticipation, accuracy, and timing. Definitely fitting the Drew Brees comp now
Definitely the prototype west coast offense qb. I wouldn’t count on a return to early last season production. They need to run the ball, and do it well.
@@zakeejones-rumph2055probably would've beat the bills.... Would've been interesting seeing Miami vs Cincy and Kansas City.... Can't wait for this season
He absolutely is not any of what you described him to be. I love getting to play him twice a year since it's two free wins. He is basically just a Costco-Brand Kirk Cousins surrounded by superstars.
@@aaron447I feel your evaluation of him is extremely narrow. Tua is a great pocket QB and executes the offense at a high level. I don’t think he’s a top 8 QB, but when he’s on he’s on. He’s better than his haters say he is, but he’s not as good as his highest praisers.
something that doesn’t get mentioned much was how good they were on 3rd down last season. a lot of those big plays were on 3rd and long and sometimes even 4th down. im sure that was another factor that boosted tua’s confidence in himself and the offense
Who was the best 3rd down team by conversion rate and QB (on 3rd down) by QBR? Hint-it’s not the Chiefs or Bengals, but an AFC East team & QB. The QB’s last name rhymes with ‘sailin’
@@chetjablonski1993And who has the highest passer rating on 3rd down in NFL history? Hint - it’s not Mahomes or Burrow, but an AFC East Qb. The QB’s first name rhymes with ‘dua’
As a 49ers fan, I am rooting for the success of Miami, the Jets, and the Texans with our former coordinators turned Head Coaches... just not when they face SF. Fantastic work as always Alex. Love to see Mike has helped Tua. This is just another reminder of how important good coaching is and how bad poor coaching can be for a player and team.
@@sucramnotlob20 - Yes. I was distracted while I was typing. i don't know why i wrote Josh, but I think it was becasue my wife was talking to me while typing. I will edit it. thank you.
Thanks Paul! I'm a bit late, was on vacation for a few weeks. It's always mind boggling to try and process how many careers have been ruined with bad coaching/ bad scheme fits. Tua looks like he's been saved
@@AlexRollinsNFL - I told you a few years back that you will hit that 1mil sub mark. You are so close to your first 100k and I am so happy to be on this ride with you. Here is to 100k, but also 250k, 500k, 750k, and that 1mil mark! Keep up the amazing work.
We are seeing how coaches are so important in development and how a player can get better and we see why ceilings are important and build to a player strength 💪🏾
"Proved me wrong" Rollins... I love this! Accountability adds so much credibility. And just manning up is dope. Alot of creators have takes they like to ignore when they are wrong, but not our guy Rollins! Keep dropping the 🔥🔥🔥
I love the videos that Mr Rollins does where he admits he made a mistake. Very very few RUclipsrs of any genre showcases this much character. Thank you sir for another great video and for being a great man😎
If he stays on the field, they win. You can't deny that. When he plays a full game, they don't lose and that's scarier then any stat by his name. Great video 👍
He played full games vs the Chargers, Niners, Bills & Packers-what happened in those games??? The opposing QB in each game vastly outplayed Tua as well. Your thoughts?????
Great video. Really hope Tua is able to stay away from those concussions. Flores was a really good defensive mind, but with the turnover he had at offensive coordinator it was time to look for someone to supplant him to and McDaniel was an awesome choice. It’s pretty wild that after a really good year that Tua might be the 4th highest ranked QB from the 2020 draft class. Just goes to show how historic that years class can be. Shoot… we might even be talking about that QB class in a greater light if Jordan Love shows some good promise in his first year as the starter.
I really like Flores, good coach, his problem is a problem a lot of defensive coaches have, creating an environment for good offensive coaches. It can be done, Nick Saban in college and of course Bill Belichick. Too many defensive coaches want to still win games with conservative offensive play calling, short fields, let their defenses win games, but it's so hard to win a championship that way now days. Hopefully he grows from this because he took some really underwhelming Dolphins teams and over produced so the coaching talent is there.
I honestly don't think he's the fourth best in that class but I'm bias. Herbert gets all of praise for his physical traits but he lacks some of the processing needed. I mean you could fuse Tua and Herbert together you'll have the best QB of all times.
Concussions are something that can't be predicted. No player is more likely to get a concussion than another player, other than the fact that they play positions that more often lead to concussions. Now, players who have suffered them in the past will have more severe consequences after each successive concussion, but the new helmets are designed to reduce the likelihood and severity of head injuries, so along with hopefully better protection from the O-line, and more consistent use of the running game, it should bode well for Tua avoiding these types of injuries. Unfortunately, the NFL is a violent sport, and there are a lot of ways players can get hurt. For some reason, the media focuses on Tua's injuries far more than other QBs like Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow (both of whom have missed more games due to injury than Tua since he was drafted)... but the reality is simply that (a) there is no such thing as "injury prone," and (b) injuries can happen to any NFL player, and eventually, probably will. Hopefully Miami can avoid the extent of injuries they suffered last year... not just to Tua, but all around.
@@mroverdose14 Yea Tua is better than Herbert. Most people can only look at stats, so they are incapable of accurately assessing actual ability. I am an Oregon Ducks fan, and Alabama is my least favorite team in any sport... but I knew Miami should draft Tua, and I'm so glad they did.
I was so extremely pissed when they announced the KCvsMiami game was going to be in Germany. That's the one game I was looking forward to watching in Arrowhead this season. The two offenses are similar in a lot of ways and it's definitely gonna be a fun one
I just moved to Kansas City as a Phins fan and I've never been more mad at the schedule makers haha. It would have been the second ever Dolphin game I've attended.
Can only blame your own Front office and owner for that one. It was originally going to be Chiefs vs Bears in Germany, but Bears fans are known to travel well and the Chiefs wanted the money so they appealed for it to be a home game.
As a Dolphins fan, I was ecstatic when they announced that, but I can definitely understand how disappointing that would be as a Chiefs fan, if you were planning to attend the game. Regardless, that should be a really fun game to watch!
It seems like alot of what this video was demonstrating was that Mike McDaniels really excelled at beating zone coverage so Staley dared him to beat his best DBs in man coverage.
They were busting our wr routs and affecting the timing because if you watch the film Tua hit his spots most of the time but all our WRs were rounding their breaks and getting jammed at the line more and timing was not there.
Tagovailoa really just needed the pieces to fall into place for him. He always had the ability, but he wasn't presented w/ the proper tools to do the job. Now that the scheme and passing concepts play to his strengths, and the receiving talent has been upgraded, he's flourishing. He always threw one of the prettiest balls I'd ever seen in all my years watching the game. His touch on the ball is remarkable, as is his ability to read/process coverages, as you noted in your video, and I think that this really separates him from other QBs in the League w/ roughly his same skillset. I also think that it's why he'll surpass other young QBs that people are high on, such as Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, and others. His ability in areas that can only be taught to a certain extent will be the difference maker for him, and as long as he's able to stay healthy, he'll be a top QB for years to come.
If Tua stays healthy and throws the check down more instead of always going for a big play i could easily see him be around 30 TDs especially considering that our defense which wasn't good last year should be at least Top 12 this Year
Top 12 ? With Jalen Ramsey manning the other corner in place of Byron, and the emergence of Phillips being mentored by Chubb, I'd guess they are top 5 next year...oh did I mention they now have defensive genius Vic Fangio?
@@sgs1313maybe top 10, probably top 15 most likely. The problem for Miami is the same one as the last 5 seasons prior: but do these moves help us slow down Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs & the potent Buffalo Bills offense? Absolutely not.
I still believe dolphins moved to sudden and fast off on Ryan fitmagic.. I doubt Tau is even in NFL come 2025-2026 season. They will be drafting a QB come next draft class. Calling it now.
would love to see you talk to Dougliedowrong about the Dolphins. He pointed out this videou, and showed how excellent your football knowledge is. Thank you.
The intro still gets me hyped esp if I haven't seen one of your vids in awhile. Steelers fan but I'll cheer for the Fins when we get eliminated from SB contention
Tua just needs to avoid those big injuries, never knew why people always doubted if he could play or not, he showed that he can be a top 10 qb in this league and now with him going into the 2nd year of the McDaniels offense there should be no reason why he can't be even better.
Tua is a top 5 QB when he's healthy. No way there are 5 better than him, and he proved that last year. O-line needs to stay healthy, and they need to balance the offense more with running plays... that will give Tua a better chance of staying on the field.
@@calwatch1496 LMAO! You're assessments are absolutely idiotic. If you are a Dolphins fan... (I should say, if you WERE)... as a TRUE Dolphins fan, I am officially and formally kicking you out of this fanbase. You are now a Bills, Jets, Pats or Chargers fan. Take your pick! You do NOT get to celebrate this team's success with Tua.
Alex the one thing you forgot to mentioned that will help tua tremendously while also making mike mcdaniel in evil genius.. ahead brought in the God father of the that Staley defense you mentioned.. which basically will make tua better and get him accustomed to that type of defense.. which once you defeat your weaknesses what will stop him than.. Fangio def. is gonna make Tua a monster
This is a west coast or run and shoot offense qb. Looks like they have the right coach there for his skill set. He reminds me of Eric Kramer from the 90s. Excellent at running the passing game, accurate, gets the ball out quick, exceptionally weak arm 😮
10:27 that’s where I would disagree, I think there farther he is removed from the hip injury and the more he grows into his body the more you’ll see he’s velocity improve
He just said that throwing deep over the middle is unheared in todays game that should tell you defense not expecting it, the for his success nothing else.
That first play you broke down, Tua hitting Waddle in area Hamlin vacated.... Tua held his view right at at Hamlin - till the very last 10th of a second, then he looked at where the threw the ball. So he didn't just read that Hamlin came down, he also kept him there with his eyes.
Disagree with fhe houston arm strength point you made. A little observation at his throwing mechanics will show he threw that off his back foot. Definitely due to his confusion. Pretty obvious to point out. Also, if you actually watched his full season, he always would rather throw with touch than to just launch it. I am confident he will throw it with more zip this season. Funny how people didnt question his arm strength in college.
He was questioned but it was always considered good enough. In the NFL I think his arm is Avg definitely not as weak as people like to say but it has moments where you wish he had a little more.
@mroverdose14 we will see. Arm strength doesn't mean a successful career. He has a good enough arm to throw anywhere down the field. The key point is that he has excellent anticipatory skills and accuracy, both key elite traits any pocket passer needs to have.
@@dunegoon7412 I agree with you. Brady, Bress and Manning all had avg to above average arms. You don't need a cannon. You usually don't see the great with it anyways
He is a vertical passer all for his career, no idea why this is a surprise, it just happens that Brian effing Flores was in charge of this team and he had no clue how to build an offense, he turned Jaylen Waddle into freaking Jarvis Landry his Rookie Season last year, when he was back to his normal self last year, he led the league in YPC.
Your missing the fact his first 2 seasons was being sabotaged by his head coach. They are now legitimately in the run to take the AFC East this coming season because he has a offensive minded coach that wants to help him. Go Phins!
Well, you're right about Tua being a great evaluator of defense, and playing to the strength of his limitations. I just wanted to point out that the Miami Dolphins team record in all of Tua's NFL career was above 500. 2019 record: 10-6, 2021: 9-8, and 2022: 9-8 and a playoff appearance. We all know that his first season he didn't start the season, but he had an ok qb rating. Tu'a's stats were 2020: 1814yds, 11td, 5ints, 2021: 2653yrds, 16tds, 10ints, 2022: 3548yrds, 25tds, 8int. These stats were pedestrian compared to his draft class, but average and not great, despite him not having an O-Line, a subpar arm, and a coach, but the good thing is he has improved in the right system. You can look like this also, that you can have the right system and personnel, and if he didn't put up the numbers then that would only tell us that he can't play football and he sucks. I don't think he ever lost confidence, because with everything that was thrown his way with the Lamar Jackson trade rumors, a coach that didn't believe in him, and all the Tua haters, and him not having a strong arm did not weaken his conviction that he can play. This man kept at it. As Tua said, that none of the media, naysayers, and haters are on the field, and he pays no attention to them speaks confidence and firm that he can play despite everything that has happened. His yrd average in his first two season was largely due to a poor offensive line, and had to make due with what he had. If you tell me, that's pretty smart. The way I see it, Tua had to dump it off quickly because he would of been murdered. Maybe early in his career he would of had more concussions if he didn't dumped it off. Tua has a decent O-Line now, a very good supporting cast around him, the right system and a coach that believes in him. The sky is the limit. I'm not saying that Tua is greatest QB ever, but he is efficient and can play the game regardless of his limitations. Even if he doesn't have a cannon of an arm compared to the other gunslingers, he has proven everyone wrong so far. So, it wasn't that he was horrible and lost confidence, but that he has been steadily learning and improving throughout his NFL career.
They're making sure now he knows how to fall when he is tackle. Not sure if it's the hip injury that made him give a whip reaction to his falling. I expect fin to win the AFC east and go deep in the playoffs this year.
I was very disappointed in your Tua video last year. This time you had a much more insightful and balanced take. Appreciate the humility it took to address your mistake
Alex the one thing you forgot to mentioned that will help tua tremendously while also making mike mcdaniel in evil genius.. ahead brought in the God father of the that Staley defense you mentioned.. which basically will make tua better and get him accustomed to that type of defense.. which once you defeat your weaknesses what will stop him than
This is why when people hate on Daniel Jones I think it's just ignorant. His processing isn't as good as Tua but his arm strength is better than Tua's. Under a good coaching staff he put up decent numbers with ZERO WRs and a faulty pass protection. Now that the Giants have receivers that can go vertical and catch the freaking ball I think he's gonna have an even better season this year. Somewhere around 25 touchdowns
@@morganyu812 Yeah, honestly that's been an issue for more than just last season too. I think that's something you can coach around and something he can work on. You obviously don't want him throwing into tight windows too much like Tua does because Tua is so accurate. But you gotta take calculated risks throwing the football in today's game to be the best and I've seen DJ makes some nice deep ball throws before. I like our coaching staff and I think they'll know how to handle that issue he still has
The dolphins need stability at LG and RT and run the ball more there was a lot of games where they ran it down a teams throat and then just decided to stop. Tua needs to check the down ball more and stay healthy.
More to the point, they need the O-line to stay healthy. When Jackson and Armstead played last year, the O-line looked great. Need those two guys to stay on the field. Also, Wynn should take over at LG, which will be a big improvement. Just had way too many injuries to that unit last year.
@@underground4012This isn’t true. You can train your off hand to be equally as strong as your dominant one. Of course it takes time. And it sounds like Tua was a lefty as a young child so this really isn’t an excuse if he’s been throwing left his whole life.
@ayindereese9851 If that were true then we would be seeing pitchers switch hands and boxers switching stances constantly. I've been at my job for 16 years lifting with the left and cutting with the right and my dominant right hand is still stronger
@@underground4012 Again, that’s not true. It’s more than just lifting weights. The reason MLB pitchers and hitters don’t just randomly work on their left is because it takes time. It’s not easy. You can’t do it in a single offseason/ year. So for them it won’t make sense to grind their off hand when you can just make your dominant as good as possibly. Going back to my original comment. It’s intentionally using your off hand during mundane tasks as well as strength training.
Tua problem was his former head coach was a defensive minded. The work of this kind of head coach is to find a good and competent coordinator. Flores didn't this by hiring Chan Gailey, who is a very old-school coach and putting Studesville/Godsey as Co-OCs, who were failures before. The dolphins did right by bringing a OC as a HC, especially somebody from the Shanahan/McVay coaching tree. It is better to hire offensive minded head coach fora young qb since they are more willing to play to his strenghts
I’d say scheme was just as important… it’s hard to throw vertical routes when they aren’t being called and your receivers can’t run themselves open…🤷🏼♂️
People like you are so weird. I never see stuff like this for other QBs but the second Tua goes from having XFL weapons to elite ones you use this as an excuse for why he was playing so well
Seeing you break down his game makes me think that Tua would’ve been great in the 90’s and 2000’s but in this current generation of football he’s not good enough compared to what these other QBs can do. But hey if Stafford can win a ring I believe he can too
Tua is showing signs of being a Great QB, but the game that changed the Dolphins offense was against the 49ers with a press coverge and being more physical againts his speedsters receivers. They just allowed just 10 points and a TD on garbage time
Niners defense wasn't the problem Tua was just missing throws he usually makes, pressure was getting to him A LOT that game, and he was over thinking about the middle field players recover ability. He did it vs the Steelers with Fritzpatrick and in the Niners game. The chargers are a better example of how to beat Tua but it's risky cause you have to play light boxes and trust your DB on out braking and sideline shot one on one (Hill did have a Bomb route go for 6 in single coverage while playing hurt)
@@ernestogastelum9123 that DB was already beat and he was trying to catch up. The ball was throw near perfect to the outside up field shoulder. It's probably a bomb and catch either way. Maybe Hill gets tackled but it still doesn't change the fact that the chargers played a light box and pressing our WRs was the best way to beat our offense. Miami did adjust later in the season with more running and out breaking routes.
Be real, that Td was not in garbage time. It cut the lead to a one score game and the Dolphins got the ball back and drove past midfield to take the lead. The drive stalled after the Gesicki drop. Then the Dolphins defense let the 49ers drive the whole field on a long sustained drive to ice the game with a field goal.
Amazing video. You just got my subscription. You know football very well. It's obvious you watch a lot of tape and learned from someone who knew what they were doing. HOWEVER, I'd like to see you show some of the throws Tua hit outside the numbers and outside vertical throws because he has hit quite a lot. There are only really two QBS who can make off balance throws consistently and it's mahommes and allen. Brady couldn't do it if his life depended on it. If Brady couldn't step into a throw, it would be so inaccurate. Teams beat him by pressuring up the middle so he couldn't step into his throws. Tua actually plays a lot like Brady. A lot. If Tua can get his processing level to where Tom's was.... The fins will be a top team for many years. He's really not that far away either. That was only his first year in that offense. I know that you admitted you were wrong about tua blah blah blah, but his arm strength is completely average. Teddy Bridgewater had the 3rd longest air distance throw last year and does he have a strong arm? Eh.. it's average. Tua has no trouble making throws to the wide side of the field outside the numbers if he can step into the throw. I've seen him make them since college. So my only real issue with the video is that you botched your negative review of him. Yes, he can't make off platform throws. he is not good throwing off his back foot, but there are only 2-3 qbs who actually can pull off the back foot throw and it sometimes can ruin a season or lose a game. See Josh Allen in the playoffs for a great example. Dude thinks he can make any throw from any platform and gets picked off doing it all the time. Also lost the game to the dolphins because he tried throwing off his back foot on a 2 yard wide open flat route for a td and the ball didn't even make it to the receivers feet. Tua can make every single NFL throw with his arm strength. There's plenty of footage of it. Tua also doesn't have the freak arm that only 2-3 qbs have where they can successfully throw off platform. And for anyone who has a kid or is coaching someone to be a QB. Have them play baseball and play the infield. Or just have them take infield a few times a week. That's how you develop the off balence throw. It's just good for footwork too. Look forward to more of your videos!!
Tough having confidence with a head coach that doesn't know how to coach a quarterback and having new coordinator and sometimes coordinators every year.
you could make the argument in regards to arm strength that if Reek wasnt the receiver in that play it would have just been incomplete. if we regard tua as elite anticipation he will inevitably anticipate wrong sometimes, (full arm strength every time is not a trait of anticipation). tyreek also had a play or two this season that looked intended for someone else but hes just so good he had to catch it lol. great video dude keep up the good work
Rollins here has just explained why he’s not actually good at evaluating players and projecting them in any serious capacity. He admits that Tua had borderline nothing dogshit around him (historically bad OL, a coach sabotaging him, the worst OCs, the worst group of weapons, and a middling defense) for the first two years, but instead of referencing those facts and going from there, he (and so many other atrocious “evaluators”) lied and treated Tua either in a vacuum or as if everything around him wasn’t historically awful. Anyone who’s remotely objective and watched Tua since Alabama knew he’s a great QB. Everything he’s doing now is what he was doing in college. Don’t let these frauds who’re either liars or talking out of their ass off the hook. They wanted to talk-down about Tua for years, and now that he had a competent situation around him so he could actually do something, they wanna jump on the train. Hell no.
Modern nfl fans have gone nuts expecting immediate all pro results from QBs out of college. I still judge players by the 3 year rule. That plus some eye test. Obviously didn’t need 3 years to see Paxton Lynch was a bum. People need to understand every player At QB isn’t Andrew luck or Mahomes.
Kind of ironic that Hurts has already played in a SB when this is the guy that got him benched and is a better passer....just goes to show its about the team and coaching staff
Pretty sad that facts and stats dont matter anymore, the dumb public and media has already labeled him a bum, leading the league in majority of the most important stats for a qb cant change that
I remember your video ripping him apart basically laughing at his skill set and saying he couldn’t do everything he did last season did you ever apologize for that?
That's what the video is for. I openly criticized him for that video. I'm glad that he (kinda) recognize that Tua is at least a good quarterback. Doesn't have to be Mahomes to win. Just have to be good
last season was the first time tua had pro level coaching, that was the main problem. flores did not care about the offense and hired terrible offensive coaches, worst OL in the league and sometimes jakeem grant was WR1. no young qb has a chance in these circumstances, thankfully mcdaniel has arrived just in time
Let’s be honest, his 3rd year was nowhere near Josh Allen’s. Tua’s third year is more like Allen’s second although Allen was more than durable enough to play in his first playoff game.
Tua is a concussion away from being out of the NFL. Heck almost retired this off season. Play style improved? Dude is in a west coast qb friendly offensive system with 3 of the fastest recievers in the league. Give Rodgers, Allen, Herbert or Mahomes Tua's WRs in 2022. Those 4 names would of had over 50 tds with over 5k yards. Heck Mahomes lead all qbs in tds and yards in 2022 with a weak recievering corp. Kelce a TE is his leading WR. Tua with the SAME EVERYTHING Mahomes had in 2022 would of been no where NEAR the superbowl or those stats Mahomes had. But Mahomes with Tua's same everything Tua had on the dolphins would of set league records. Tua will go down to be an injury bust. Dolphins should of drafted Herbert. Herbert would of had them deep in the playoffs with those offense weapons/ that defense. Herbert proved he can still make the playoffs with a beyond injured OL and alot of his main WR weapons hurt most the year and a terrible defense. Also Herbert doesn't have a soft head like Tua. Herbert has taken huge hits and still kept playing. Herbert has almost as many yards as Luck in his first 3 seasons and has more tds than an qb in history through 3 seasons. CAPTAIN bubble wrap tua is who they drafted.
The problem is Tua can only play one way. If defenses like the chargers or 49ers take those routes away, he turns into an average qb. The concussions are distracting people from the big flaws that will make him a backup really soon
The second game vs the Bills in the snow he played against a HEAVY cover 2 look with defenses packing the middle. Same vs the Packers and he played better than Allen and Rodgers in those games (Packers game he threw 3 picks after his concussion but while healthy he had nearly 300 at half time)
@@mroverdose14 the biggest reason miami played well in the second buffalo game was because they ran the ball so well and Tua only threw it 30 times. he had some success throwing to the outside but not in the middle. if Mcdaniel changes his philosophy and keeps Tua's attempts under 30 per game while running the ball more thats the best way for them to succeed. The best games for Tua were all against bad teams which is why I think he is an average quarterback
@@jeremypalmer5860 Rodgers vs the Lion looked horrible. Miami defense with the 6th string DB starting looked bad. Tua played well against some of the better pass defenses but scheme and gameplan means more at that level. Tua was avg his first two year with no talent but last..... Anything other than a top 10 player at the position is bias and blind. As a former player that played DB vs NFL players Tua is a very good player
@@jeremypalmer5860only qb that throws the ball 40 times a game is Herbert. And when you are winning you don’t have to throw the ball more than 30 times like what even is your point? He throws the ball 30 times a game that makes him average? Lol you are just dumb bruh
I’m currently in London and will be taking a few weeks off to get refreshed before the season.

He absolutely is not any of what you described him to be. I love getting to play him twice a year since it's two free wins. He is basically just a Costco-Brand Kirk Cousins surrounded by superstars.

Bro he was the best deep thrower coming out of bama y are people shocked lol we just didn’t have the weapons and the scheme was ass
Agree ..he did every game at bama
If he stays on the field, they win. You can't deny that. When he plays a full game, they don't lose and that's scarier then any stat by his name. Great video 👍
explain the 49er game then. He looked horrible.
@@49_PiscoPapi Chargers game as well
Bills beat them late in the season and Tua played the whole game. Oh wait-the Bills have Josh Allen 😉
What about the 3 INT Packer game/implosion on Christmas?
He played full games vs the Chargers, Niners, Bills & Packers-what happened in those games??? The opposing QB in each game vastly outplayed Tua as well.
Your thoughts?????
Excellent analysis! Thanks for the content.
Thanks brother!
Great video. Really hope Tua is able to stay away from those concussions. Flores was a really good defensive mind, but with the turnover he had at offensive coordinator it was time to look for someone to supplant him to and McDaniel was an awesome choice. It’s pretty wild that after a really good year that Tua might be the 4th highest ranked QB from the 2020 draft class. Just goes to show how historic that years class can be. Shoot… we might even be talking about that QB class in a greater light if Jordan Love shows some good promise in his first year as the starter.
Yeah I wished he at least ended up as a DC at least
I really like Flores, good coach, his problem is a problem a lot of defensive coaches have, creating an environment for good offensive coaches. It can be done, Nick Saban in college and of course Bill Belichick. Too many defensive coaches want to still win games with conservative offensive play calling, short fields, let their defenses win games, but it's so hard to win a championship that way now days. Hopefully he grows from this because he took some really underwhelming Dolphins teams and over produced so the coaching talent is there.
I honestly don't think he's the fourth best in that class but I'm bias. Herbert gets all of praise for his physical traits but he lacks some of the processing needed. I mean you could fuse Tua and Herbert together you'll have the best QB of all times.
Concussions are something that can't be predicted. No player is more likely to get a concussion than another player, other than the fact that they play positions that more often lead to concussions. Now, players who have suffered them in the past will have more severe consequences after each successive concussion, but the new helmets are designed to reduce the likelihood and severity of head injuries, so along with hopefully better protection from the O-line, and more consistent use of the running game, it should bode well for Tua avoiding these types of injuries. Unfortunately, the NFL is a violent sport, and there are a lot of ways players can get hurt.
For some reason, the media focuses on Tua's injuries far more than other QBs like Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow (both of whom have missed more games due to injury than Tua since he was drafted)... but the reality is simply that (a) there is no such thing as "injury prone," and (b) injuries can happen to any NFL player, and eventually, probably will.
Hopefully Miami can avoid the extent of injuries they suffered last year... not just to Tua, but all around.
@@mroverdose14 Yea Tua is better than Herbert. Most people can only look at stats, so they are incapable of accurately assessing actual ability. I am an Oregon Ducks fan, and Alabama is my least favorite team in any sport... but I knew Miami should draft Tua, and I'm so glad they did.
I’m here after the chargers game 😂🐬🆙🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was so extremely pissed when they announced the KCvsMiami game was going to be in Germany. That's the one game I was looking forward to watching in Arrowhead this season. The two offenses are similar in a lot of ways and it's definitely gonna be a fun one
I just moved to Kansas City as a Phins fan and I've never been more mad at the schedule makers haha. It would have been the second ever Dolphin game I've attended.
Can only blame your own Front office and owner for that one. It was originally going to be Chiefs vs Bears in Germany, but Bears fans are known to travel well and the Chiefs wanted the money so they appealed for it to be a home game.
Same if they played in KC that would have been my first game ever to watch in person 😩
Just my opinion here, but that's probably why the NFL sent them. Showing Europe two high performing offences is great look for the NFL.
As a Dolphins fan, I was ecstatic when they announced that, but I can definitely understand how disappointing that would be as a Chiefs fan, if you were planning to attend the game. Regardless, that should be a really fun game to watch!
Great work this has me hyped asf for this upcoming season
Thanks!
It seems like alot of what this video was demonstrating was that Mike McDaniels really excelled at beating zone coverage so Staley dared him to beat his best DBs in man coverage.
He also showed how unreliable the run game was as tua was having more success than any of are running backs sadly
Tua excels at beating zone with ridiculous vision and the fastest release in football.
@@jakepapa6516 I edited. I meant man coverage
They were busting our wr routs and affecting the timing because if you watch the film Tua hit his spots most of the time but all our WRs were rounding their breaks and getting jammed at the line more and timing was not there.
Great observation
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Well worth the wait!!!
Great video! Fair in both your praise and criticism and admitted where you were wrong about him.
Thanks brother!
I see you’re playing more with after effects! 🔥 love the player highlights!
Thanks brother!
Tagovailoa really just needed the pieces to fall into place for him. He always had the ability, but he wasn't presented w/ the proper tools to do the job. Now that the scheme and passing concepts play to his strengths, and the receiving talent has been upgraded, he's flourishing. He always threw one of the prettiest balls I'd ever seen in all my years watching the game. His touch on the ball is remarkable, as is his ability to read/process coverages, as you noted in your video, and I think that this really separates him from other QBs in the League w/ roughly his same skillset. I also think that it's why he'll surpass other young QBs that people are high on, such as Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, and others. His ability in areas that can only be taught to a certain extent will be the difference maker for him, and as long as he's able to stay healthy, he'll be a top QB for years to come.
You'd be surprised with how many QBs fall into that category
But people really are forgetting that Tua was in the MVP race before his concussion 😂
I'm curious to see him without Tyreek and Waddle. If one of them goes down, it could drastically effect Tua (more than it would other QBs)
If Tua stays healthy and throws the check down more instead of always going for a big play i could easily see him be around 30 TDs especially considering that our defense which wasn't good last year should be at least Top 12 this Year
Yet a year ago everyone said he checks down too much 🤦♂️
@gamarkingduo8783 he did... its called improvement and hard work...
I’m not dissing the comment, I agree 100%, it’s just a fact
Top 12 ? With Jalen Ramsey manning the other corner in place of Byron, and the emergence of Phillips being mentored by Chubb, I'd guess they are top 5 next year...oh did I mention they now have defensive genius Vic Fangio?
@@sgs1313maybe top 10, probably top 15 most likely. The problem for Miami is the same one as the last 5 seasons prior: but do these moves help us slow down Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs & the potent Buffalo Bills offense?

The intro still gets me hyped esp if I haven't seen one of your vids in awhile. Steelers fan but I'll cheer for the Fins when we get eliminated from SB contention
Tua just needs to avoid those big injuries, never knew why people always doubted if he could play or not, he showed that he can be a top 10 qb in this league and now with him going into the 2nd year of the McDaniels offense there should be no reason why he can't be even better.
Tua is a top 5 QB when he's healthy. No way there are 5 better than him, and he proved that last year. O-line needs to stay healthy, and they need to balance the offense more with running plays... that will give Tua a better chance of staying on the field.

Thanks Michael!
This is a west coast or run and shoot offense qb. Looks like they have the right coach there for his skill set. He reminds me of Eric Kramer from the 90s. Excellent at running the passing game, accurate, gets the ball out quick, exceptionally weak arm 😮
10:27 that’s where I would disagree, I think there farther he is removed from the hip injury and the more he grows into his body the more you’ll see he’s velocity improve
He just said that throwing deep over the middle is unheared in todays game that should tell you defense not expecting it, the for his success nothing else.
Hope AFC east stay healthy so those four teams could duke it out all the way
Maybe if his father didn't force him to learn to throw with his off hand he'd have more zip on his passes
@@stophittingyourself123 Well yea it's too late now but that was just so dumb to do that
That first play you broke down, Tua hitting Waddle in area Hamlin vacated.... Tua held his view right at at Hamlin - till the very last 10th of a second, then he looked at where the threw the ball. So he didn't just read that Hamlin came down, he also kept him there with his eyes.
Good job 👏🏾 👍🏾 👌🏾
Thanks Andy!
We'll seen what happens this year. Tua has been in the Weight Room, so his Arm Strengh may Improve.
Disagree with fhe houston arm strength point you made. A little observation at his throwing mechanics will show he threw that off his back foot. Definitely due to his confusion. Pretty obvious to point out. Also, if you actually watched his full season, he always would rather throw with touch than to just launch it. I am confident he will throw it with more zip this season. Funny how people didnt question his arm strength in college.
He was questioned but it was always considered good enough. In the NFL I think his arm is Avg definitely not as weak as people like to say but it has moments where you wish he had a little more.
@mroverdose14 we will see. Arm strength doesn't mean a successful career. He has a good enough arm to throw anywhere down the field. The key point is that he has excellent anticipatory skills and accuracy, both key elite traits any pocket passer needs to have.
@@dunegoon7412 I agree with you. Brady, Bress and Manning all had avg to above average arms.
You don't need a cannon. You usually don't see the great with it anyways
He is a vertical passer all for his career, no idea why this is a surprise, it just happens that Brian effing Flores was in charge of this team and he had no clue how to build an offense, he turned Jaylen Waddle into freaking Jarvis Landry his Rookie Season last year, when he was back to his normal self last year, he led the league in YPC.
Your missing the fact his first 2 seasons was being sabotaged by his head coach. They are now legitimately in the run to take the AFC East this coming season because he has a offensive minded coach that wants to help him. Go Phins!
Tua doesn’t get seriously hurt for 8 years and he becomes an icon to Miami football fins
Well, you're right about Tua being a great evaluator of defense, and playing to the strength of his limitations. I just wanted to point out that the Miami Dolphins team record in all of Tua's NFL career was above 500. 2019 record: 10-6, 2021: 9-8, and 2022: 9-8 and a playoff appearance. We all know that his first season he didn't start the season, but he had an ok qb rating. Tu'a's stats were 2020: 1814yds, 11td, 5ints, 2021: 2653yrds, 16tds, 10ints, 2022: 3548yrds, 25tds, 8int. These stats were pedestrian compared to his draft class, but average and not great, despite him not having an O-Line, a subpar arm, and a coach, but the good thing is he has improved in the right system. You can look like this also, that you can have the right system and personnel, and if he didn't put up the numbers then that would only tell us that he can't play football and he sucks.
I don't think he ever lost confidence, because with everything that was thrown his way with the Lamar Jackson trade rumors, a coach that didn't believe in him, and all the Tua haters, and him not having a strong arm did not weaken his conviction that he can play. This man kept at it. As Tua said, that none of the media, naysayers, and haters are on the field, and he pays no attention to them speaks confidence and firm that he can play despite everything that has happened.
His yrd average in his first two season was largely due to a poor offensive line, and had to make due with what he had. If you tell me, that's pretty smart. The way I see it, Tua had to dump it off quickly because he would of been murdered. Maybe early in his career he would of had more concussions if he didn't dumped it off. Tua has a decent O-Line now, a very good supporting cast around him, the right system and a coach that believes in him. The sky is the limit. I'm not saying that Tua is greatest QB ever, but he is efficient and can play the game regardless of his limitations. Even if he doesn't have a cannon of an arm compared to the other gunslingers, he has proven everyone wrong so far.
So, it wasn't that he was horrible and lost confidence, but that he has been steadily learning and improving throughout his NFL career.
@@calwatch1496 you need to stop playing Madden on playstation..you're just trying to stir the pot when you don't know what you're talking about..
@AlexRollinsNFL - awesome breakdown very well done.
Thanks Craig!
He got a coach who actually tried to show his skills. Not drag him down. It's that simple.
They're making sure now he knows how to fall when he is tackle. Not sure if it's the hip injury that made him give a whip reaction to his falling. I expect fin to win the AFC east and go deep in the playoffs this year.
I don't think Tua is a Super Bowl quarterback, but he's definitely a perennial-playoffs-occasional-AFC-championship-berth quarterback.
I was very disappointed in your Tua video last year. This time you had a much more insightful and balanced take. Appreciate the humility it took to address your mistake

It’s been a week. The next video gonna be a banger too
Yessir!
This is why when people hate on Daniel Jones I think it's just ignorant. His processing isn't as good as Tua but his arm strength is better than Tua's. Under a good coaching staff he put up decent numbers with ZERO WRs and a faulty pass protection. Now that the Giants have receivers that can go vertical and catch the freaking ball I think he's gonna have an even better season this year. Somewhere around 25 touchdowns
True to a certain extent. Daniel Jones can succeed under the right coach but let's be honest his deep ball accuracy was hella questionable last year
@@morganyu812 Yeah, honestly that's been an issue for more than just last season too. I think that's something you can coach around and something he can work on. You obviously don't want him throwing into tight windows too much like Tua does because Tua is so accurate. But you gotta take calculated risks throwing the football in today's game to be the best and I've seen DJ makes some nice deep ball throws before. I like our coaching staff and I think they'll know how to handle that issue he still has
@@morganyu812 He was 5th in adjusted comp% on deep throws though.

The dolphins need stability at LG and RT and run the ball more there was a lot of games where they ran it down a teams throat and then just decided to stop. Tua needs to check the down ball more and stay healthy.
More to the point, they need the O-line to stay healthy. When Jackson and Armstead played last year, the O-line looked great. Need those two guys to stay on the field. Also, Wynn should take over at LG, which will be a big improvement. Just had way too many injuries to that unit last year.
Shame on his Pop for making him go lefty young. Imagine Tua with the natural zip he should be playing with?
@@stophittingyourself123 Of course it does, your dominant hand will always be stronger
@@underground4012This isn’t true. You can train your off hand to be equally as strong as your dominant one. Of course it takes time. And it sounds like Tua was a lefty as a young child so this really isn’t an excuse if he’s been throwing left his whole life.
@ayindereese9851 If that were true then we would be seeing pitchers switch hands and boxers switching stances constantly. I've been at my job for 16 years lifting with the left and cutting with the right and my dominant right hand is still stronger
@@underground4012 Again, that’s not true. It’s more than just lifting weights. The reason MLB pitchers and hitters don’t just randomly work on their left is because it takes time. It’s not easy. You can’t do it in a single offseason/ year. So for them it won’t make sense to grind their off hand when you can just make your dominant as good as possibly. Going back to my original comment. It’s intentionally using your off hand during mundane tasks as well as strength training.
@@underground4012Chipper Jones is a HOFER and batted with his non dominant hand
FINS UP
Tua problem was his former head coach was a defensive minded. The work of this kind of head coach is to find a good and competent coordinator. Flores didn't this by hiring Chan Gailey, who is a very old-school coach and putting Studesville/Godsey as Co-OCs, who were failures before. The dolphins did right by bringing a OC as a HC, especially somebody from the Shanahan/McVay coaching tree. It is better to hire offensive minded head coach fora young qb since they are more willing to play to his strenghts
Well, let’s just say that having Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as teammates help a great ton in this department.
We know this but people always mention it as an excuse there has never been a great qb who got good results with no receivers.
I’d say scheme was just as important… it’s hard to throw vertical routes when they aren’t being called and your receivers can’t run themselves open…🤷🏼♂️
Same can be said for Burrow, Herbert and Hurts. And yet somehow they don't get these types of comments. Wonder why?
People like you are so weird. I never see stuff like this for other QBs but the second Tua goes from having XFL weapons to elite ones you use this as an excuse for why he was playing so well
You mean weapons help a QB? No way! 💀
Tua will be a top 5 MVP candidate this year if he can stay healthy and play 14+ games.
Seeing you break down his game makes me think that Tua would’ve been great in the 90’s and 2000’s but in this current generation of football he’s not good enough compared to what these other QBs can do. But hey if Stafford can win a ring I believe he can too
I think issue was injuries. Getting him Tyreke Hill helped a lot

Tua is showing signs of being a Great QB, but the game that changed the Dolphins offense was against the 49ers with a press coverge and being more physical againts his speedsters receivers. They just allowed just 10 points and a TD on garbage time
Niners defense wasn't the problem Tua was just missing throws he usually makes, pressure was getting to him A LOT that game, and he was over thinking about the middle field players recover ability. He did it vs the Steelers with Fritzpatrick and in the Niners game. The chargers are a better example of how to beat Tua but it's risky cause you have to play light boxes and trust your DB on out braking and sideline shot one on one (Hill did have a Bomb route go for 6 in single coverage while playing hurt)
@@mroverdose14 that TD he had was due to the Chargers DB tripping. otherwise he wouldve gotten tackled or the ball being deflected
@@ernestogastelum9123 that DB was already beat and he was trying to catch up. The ball was throw near perfect to the outside up field shoulder. It's probably a bomb and catch either way. Maybe Hill gets tackled but it still doesn't change the fact that the chargers played a light box and pressing our WRs was the best way to beat our offense. Miami did adjust later in the season with more running and out breaking routes.
Be real, that Td was not in garbage time. It cut the lead to a one score game and the Dolphins got the ball back and drove past midfield to take the lead. The drive stalled after the Gesicki drop. Then the Dolphins defense let the 49ers drive the whole field on a long sustained drive to ice the game with a field goal.
Amazing video. You just got my subscription. You know football very well. It's obvious you watch a lot of tape and learned from someone who knew what they were doing.
HOWEVER, I'd like to see you show some of the throws Tua hit outside the numbers and outside vertical throws because he has hit quite a lot.
There are only really two QBS who can make off balance throws consistently and it's mahommes and allen. Brady couldn't do it if his life depended on it. If Brady couldn't step into a throw, it would be so inaccurate. Teams beat him by pressuring up the middle so he couldn't step into his throws. Tua actually plays a lot like Brady. A lot. If Tua can get his processing level to where Tom's was.... The fins will be a top team for many years. He's really not that far away either. That was only his first year in that offense.
I know that you admitted you were wrong about tua blah blah blah, but his arm strength is completely average. Teddy Bridgewater had the 3rd longest air distance throw last year and does he have a strong arm? Eh.. it's average. Tua has no trouble making throws to the wide side of the field outside the numbers if he can step into the throw. I've seen him make them since college.
So my only real issue with the video is that you botched your negative review of him. Yes, he can't make off platform throws. he is not good throwing off his back foot, but there are only 2-3 qbs who actually can pull off the back foot throw and it sometimes can ruin a season or lose a game. See Josh Allen in the playoffs for a great example. Dude thinks he can make any throw from any platform and gets picked off doing it all the time. Also lost the game to the dolphins because he tried throwing off his back foot on a 2 yard wide open flat route for a td and the ball didn't even make it to the receivers feet. Tua can make every single NFL throw with his arm strength. There's plenty of footage of it. Tua also doesn't have the freak arm that only 2-3 qbs have where they can successfully throw off platform.
And for anyone who has a kid or is coaching someone to be a QB. Have them play baseball and play the infield. Or just have them take infield a few times a week. That's how you develop the off balence throw. It's just good for footwork too.
Look forward to more of your videos!!
Thanks brother! I didn't mean he exclusively hit verticals inside, just that that was jumped out and separated him.
I blame mcdaniel for that chargers game, tua was getting the ball there the defense was on top off everything. Mcdaniel never changed up the gameplan
Tough having confidence with a head coach that doesn't know how to coach a quarterback and having new coordinator and sometimes coordinators every year.
A lot of pressure put on Tua by tyreeks comments lately. Best qb in the league last year and not saying hill wants to go over 2k yards 🤦🏻♂️

@@mroverdose14 yep...I know
if the O-line does its job ,, Ranked 23rd in the league ,, Tua may go down again
you could make the argument in regards to arm strength that if Reek wasnt the receiver in that play it would have just been incomplete. if we regard tua as elite anticipation he will inevitably anticipate wrong sometimes, (full arm strength every time is not a trait of anticipation). tyreek also had a play or two this season that looked intended for someone else but hes just so good he had to catch it lol.

My boy Alex got a new editor. The fire and outline effects got stepped up.
Thanks bro! It's actually all me, just hopped in the lab for a bit
Rollins here has just explained why he’s not actually good at evaluating players and projecting them in any serious capacity.
He admits that Tua had borderline nothing dogshit around him (historically bad OL, a coach sabotaging him, the worst OCs, the worst group of weapons, and a middling defense) for the first two years, but instead of referencing those facts and going from there, he (and so many other atrocious “evaluators”) lied and treated Tua either in a vacuum or as if everything around him wasn’t historically awful.
Anyone who’s remotely objective and watched Tua since Alabama knew he’s a great QB. Everything he’s doing now is what he was doing in college.
Don’t let these frauds who’re either liars or talking out of their ass off the hook. They wanted to talk-down about Tua for years, and now that he had a competent situation around him so he could actually do something, they wanna jump on the train. Hell no.
Modern nfl fans have gone nuts expecting immediate all pro results from QBs out of college. I still judge players by the 3 year rule. That plus some eye test. Obviously didn’t need 3 years to see Paxton Lynch was a bum. People need to understand every player At QB isn’t Andrew luck or Mahomes.
Kind of ironic that Hurts has already played in a SB when this is the guy that got him benched and is a better passer....just goes to show its about the team and coaching staff
Pretty sad that facts and stats dont matter anymore, the dumb public and media has already labeled him a bum, leading the league in majority of the most important stats for a qb cant change that

Let’s be honest, his 3rd year was nowhere near Josh Allen’s. Tua’s third year is more like Allen’s second although Allen was more than durable enough to play in his first playoff game.
Tua is a concussion away from being out of the NFL. Heck almost retired this off season. Play style improved? Dude is in a west coast qb friendly offensive system with 3 of the fastest recievers in the league. Give Rodgers, Allen, Herbert or Mahomes Tua's WRs in 2022. Those 4 names would of had over 50 tds with over 5k yards. Heck Mahomes lead all qbs in tds and yards in 2022 with a weak recievering corp. Kelce a TE is his leading WR. Tua with the SAME EVERYTHING Mahomes had in 2022 would of been no where NEAR the superbowl or those stats Mahomes had. But Mahomes with Tua's same everything Tua had on the dolphins would of set league records. Tua will go down to be an injury bust. Dolphins should of drafted Herbert. Herbert would of had them deep in the playoffs with those offense weapons/ that defense. Herbert proved he can still make the playoffs with a beyond injured OL and alot of his main WR weapons hurt most the year and a terrible defense. Also Herbert doesn't have a soft head like Tua. Herbert has taken huge hits and still kept playing. Herbert has almost as many yards as Luck in his first 3 seasons and has more tds than an qb in history through 3 seasons. CAPTAIN bubble wrap tua is who they drafted.
The problem is Tua can only play one way. If defenses like the chargers or 49ers take those routes away, he turns into an average qb. The concussions are distracting people from the big flaws that will make him a backup really soon
The second game vs the Bills in the snow he played against a HEAVY cover 2 look with defenses packing the middle. Same vs the Packers and he played better than Allen and Rodgers in those games (Packers game he threw 3 picks after his concussion but while healthy he had nearly 300 at half time)
@@mroverdose14 the biggest reason miami played well in the second buffalo game was because they ran the ball so well and Tua only threw it 30 times. he had some success throwing to the outside but not in the middle. if Mcdaniel changes his philosophy and keeps Tua's attempts under 30 per game while running the ball more thats the best way for them to succeed. The best games for Tua were all against bad teams which is why I think he is an average quarterback
@@jeremypalmer5860 Rodgers vs the Lion looked horrible. Miami defense with the 6th string DB starting looked bad.
Tua played well against some of the better pass defenses but scheme and gameplan means more at that level.
Tua was avg his first two year with no talent but last..... Anything other than a top 10 player at the position is bias and blind.
As a former player that played DB vs NFL players Tua is a very good player
@@jeremypalmer5860Troll gonna troll
@@jeremypalmer5860only qb that throws the ball 40 times a game is Herbert. And when you are winning you don’t have to throw the ball more than 30 times like what even is your point? He throws the ball 30 times a game that makes him average? Lol you are just dumb bruh
Disagree with the complete part. He was never headed for doom.
So that's not a pure progression system, I guess.
But still better than 90% of the other NFL QB's & a lot more accurate, so what's your point.
As long as nothing hits his head, he’s shown he’s prone to concussions 💯
#WhoDey 🐅
Tua time is up 1st time he gets hit in the head.
Hes basically the best QB in the league right now, is what im hearing.
