Interesting look at his downfield work.

I like the comment about Davante Adams landing in Miami.

Give me the synopsis of wise one.

A) Tua sucks and it’sall his fault.
B) Tua is mediocre and his WR can’t get open
C) Tua is on point and his WR suck

D) Tua shows outstanding promise but needs support and development (coaching) and hasn't gotten it

….and in that same thread…

“ And like a lot of people have asked and
@corey_march1
pointed out, Tua pushed the ball downfield at a low rate. Does that come down to coaching, Tua, or the line? Probably a combination of all 3”

Worst offensive line since God and the Big Bang got together and made stuff happen.

One thing I also notice is that he has to fit the ball into a very tight area as there is no separation on most of those passes in that clip.

I don't doubt Tua's deep ball accuracy. Matt Moore was the same - one of the prettiest, most accurate deep balls.

Its having the arm to rip the intermediate throws that have gotten both in trouble.

If it is mechanics with Tua that can be corrected with better line play then great, he'll be a nice QB.

The videos show him making some of those throws like the digs and deep crossers.

If anything, his issues with intermediate throws seemed to be overthrows. Also, there are several instances where it appeared the WR and QB were not on the same page.

So I'll go back to mechanics. If it is cleaning things up because of rushing throws in anticipation of being hit then Tua will be fine.

If it is something like overcompensating to put mustard on a throw because hip/arm isn't right, well we may have a problem.

He is Miami's starter going into 2022 so we'll know soon enough if he can make improvements.

I tend to believe coaching was the biggest problem, but I also do not believe Austin Jackson can be coached by anyone.

Yet Waddle was supposedly able to create huge separation….and yards after the catch. I think he averaged over 12 YAC at Alabama, but 5 in the NFL. Could it be the plays and schemes the coaches are calling? We see opponents with receivers running free quite often…..

Yep, it seems they did a poor job of getting Waddle in space further than 8 yards downfield.

If Tua was throwing in 2sec, Waddle would have to be like lightning.

I've thought the same thing when we talk about Miami's receivers not getting any separation, having a decent line would have to help.

There has been a lot of predraft talk that Tua could be a future Drew Brees. We don't know that, but it is worth a comparison.

If you rearrange numbers to accommodate the different eras then it lines up.
