Will be interesting to see how he does. Tua should be a good one. Dolphins should be glad they didn't end up with Burrow. Tua will definitely be better.

He was.

But I think this is a move to put asses to seats in Miami. I heard the Obivation, sp, when Tua came out.

What the fuck are you talking about? Maximum capacity at their stadium is 13000. You think they're having trouble selling 13,000 tickets?

This is a football decision. Quarterbacks don't necessarily need to sit for a full season anymore after college. Burrow and herbert hit the ground running in their first starts.

The phins are simply moving forward with their future

In regards to the poll question, the Dolphins are already sitting at 3-3. Does tua take them to the next level? Probably, because fitz is still throwing too many int's and tua is more mobile

I would've waited until week 12, tbh.

Tua's first games against the Jets and Bengals makes sense.

Bad decision.

They are a playoff team with Fitz.

Disagree. They are currently the 9 seed in the AFC and fitz is still throwing too many picks

Just not sure why they are deciding now. Yeah Fitzy is inconsistent but he is also way more experienced. Why not give Tua a full season? Either way they have a pretty tough schedule outside of the AFCE. Rams, Cards, Pats, Chiefs, Raiders. Even with Fitz they are an 8-8 team...with Tua, we will see.

Fair enough. I still think the bills get to 9-7 though and I'm not sure fitz gets them to 9 wins
He might. I think they're probably set for 8 or 9 wins.

Its just that I also get the move. The Miami Dolphins aren't winning the Super Bowl with Fitz. No need to Andy Dalton/Alex Smith things up and have a good team held back by an okay QB. Get your first rounder out there when he is ready. I just think that the opponent matters a little bit. When you play the Jets twice, thats better than a bye week.

Fitz is a class act. A strange decision but, truth be told, the best way to determine if your QB has what it takes is to see how he performs in meaningful games. Games that could lead to a playoff spot are even better.

This is a step backwards in all likelihood than a step forward for the Dolphins for their chances of the playoffs this year. Doubtful Tua is polished enough to be better than Fitz at this point in their careers.

Eh, we'll see. Tua is more mobile and if he doesn't throw as many picks as fitz, they may be better off
