Six very important players in this upcoming matchup between the Miami Dolphins who are hosting the red hot Seattle Seahawks. There are more of course, more players who will have an impact on this game because ultimately 22 players are o0n the field at any given time. If our defensive line can’t harass QB Russell Wilson it will make the containment of WR’s Tyler Lockett and D.J. Metcalf very difficult. Even pressure alone doesn’t cut it with Russell Wilson, it’s containment as well. His escapability and ability to keep plays alive is one of his best assets, so initial pressure will be good, but not allowing him to scramble and find room to escape and keep the play going will be key. This is where Wilson separates himself from most QB’s, he’s one of the very best. Defending Tyler Lockett who is a very fast and savvy WR is difficult enough as it is, and same for physically imposing D.J. Metcalf, who by the way I was very wrong about. Thus far, Russell Wilson has been nearly the perfect QB. He’s completed nearlym 77% of his passes for 925 yards and 14 TD’s against one INT. His TD% is an absurd 13.6%. If not for Pat Mahomes, he would be considered the NFL’s best in 2020.
The Miami front 7 will also have their hands full, because not only can the Seahawks throw it but they have 2 backs that can run well too. Chris Carson leads their rushing attack with a modest 157 yards on 37 carries and Carlos Hyde can grind out a game too. Russell Wilson is actually 2nd on the team at the moment in rushing with 90 yards on 14 carries. He can do it all! The Seattle O-line has been built with a few retreads like LT Duane Brown (HOU), LG Mike Iupati (ARZ) and RT Brandon Shell (NYJ). C Ethan Pocic and RG Damien Lewis are the only Seattle draftees. They’re not a great line, but Russell Wilson makes them better than they are. Wilkins, Ogbah, Godchaux, Lawson, Van Noy, Sieler, Davis, Van Noy, Van Ginkel, Baker, Roberts and Grugier-Hill are all going to need to be disciplined and not lose containment. Flushing Wilson is good but bringing him down or forcing him to get rid of the ball before he wants to is important.
On offense, if we can duplicate what we did last week to Jacksonville we should be in this game. Seattle’s defense is a little better and Pete Carroll is a much better coach. All Pro S Jamal Adams is used all over the place, coverage, playing the run and rushing the passer and he does it all well. Not a big name defense but they have a trio of LB’s who get it done and tackle well in Wagner, Wright and Barton. No longer the “Legion of Boom”, Adams adds a little pop back into that secondary. We have extra time to prepare for this one which can only help us. It will give WR DeVante Parker a couple of extra days to rest that hamstring and give RB Myles Gaskin a breather after 22 carries Thursday night, far more than he’s had since his college days. It’s only 3 games in and you never know if things will change, but Gaskin looks like the real deal. We still have Jordan Howard and Matt Breida, but for now they seem like role players, Howard the goal line threat and Breida the change of pace. Gesicki will have a more difficult matchup this week and last week he only caught one pass. Parker gutted it out last week as opposed to sitting the game out like he would in the past and the team needs him. At some point this season we may see Lynn Bowden and Malcolm Perry but I think it might be a while. Parker, Williams, Ford and Gesicki and Gaskin are the main contributors.
If at the end of the day, Russell Wilson doesn’t have 3 or more TD’s and Carson and Hyde don’t have well over 100 yards combined I think we have a shot in this one. I don’t know if we’re capable of keeping the ball out of Wilson’s hands but I would like us to do that. Long drives mixing rushing with Gaskin and passing to the previously mentioned guys ending up in with TD’s on the board can make us a real spoiler upset. The line is 6.5 for the bad guys. We have our work cut out for us but a nice effort like last weeks win could keep us in this one.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Anyone agree with this? It makes little sense to me since we got the QB, have solid WRs, and suck at drafting if we need LB and S already.
I also dislike the current narrative of “LOOK how much better we are!” We had just traded off our starting LT and WR, had few veterans and were considered the least talented team in the NFL early. We should obviously be much better especially since we won a decent number of games late with that same low talent squad after a lot of trading all year long.
I think we need to start expecting more instead of the same low expectations as always. They brought in a solid number of vets, especially ex -pats and we have the 2nd highest paid secondary in the NFL. We need to see the investments start to shine. I’m not going to be a happy camper with 5-11 or 6-10 this year. This team should be 7-9 or 8-8 tis year. Our next three games are very winnable and we play a 3 game freebie of Jets, Jets, Bengals. Good teams win the games they should.
I think Parker and Gesicki are playmakers, we just need Parker to be healthy and need to get Gesicki the ball. We saw what he can do last year, Fitz has had a hard time throwing to him for some reason.
LB we have good depth, but need a playmaker. QB, until Tua gets on the field we don’t know, but we don’t need to draft one. WR we have Parker, but not much else, although the injury Preston had I don’t think he’s fully healed yet, should be before the end of the season. I’d draft a WR with one of our 1sts. S I’d draft in the 2nd. Shocked we didn’t take one of the Ss earlier this year.
I think we are much better in September 2020 than we were in September 2019
I need to see the entire season or most of it before I say “we are getting better”
In terms of needs I don’t think we digressed at those positions, I just don’t think we addressed it yet
Flores don’t be a dumbass, if its wins you’re seeking you start Tua against a team you aren’t supposed to beat to get him ready for a team you should beat.
How does a team go from winning the SB to being mediocre the next year, with mostly the same players?
It takes so much more than just a talented roster to be great. With that said, the current roster is good enough to win a playoff game. What team has ever had playmakers at every position.
The post above about us needing playmakers is a chix shit way of evaluating (knocking the article and not our posters). It’s always the Fins need this or that, F that, put your big boy pants on and get it done with the current talent.
They get targeted a lot, so that increases this stat, plus the tricks used against them won’t be used for long. Again F the stats and watch the game. It’s Ok for Austin to post this stat, but it needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Lot of bad decisions coming from Flores this season. Sure we could’ve used some preseason games, but the good coaches have their team ready week 1. Belicheat made Flores look bad in the opener.
I wish Flores would stop with the contradictions. By having cut Rosen, as many of us have mentioned, it says Tua is healthy enough to be the #2 to start the season, and if he’s healthy enough to be #2, then also for #1, then today he puts out that BS about if it was his kid coming off of hip surgery 10.5 months ago…
He’s making coaching decisions like he’s an old lady.
Overall I don’t have really many issues with Flores, but I can’t agree with him using the injury as a reason to take it slowly with Tua. If Fitz is injured early against SF and can’t return for awhile, would Tua be the starter each game? If his answer is yes, then his decision is based on something else other than injury. I think it is because he still feels Ftiz gives us the best chance to win, not sure I agree with that, but if that is his opinion, I just wish he would say that.

It’s GINA virus! lol
LOL
Yeah, well that would make sense
In other words no shit Sherlock 🤔
I think it’s great that Hunt has gotten on the field in these packages, just to get his feet wet, and a bonus that he’s been productive.
cringe worthy!
It might also be a good reason to set the rookie another game, or 2?
With an interior OL I have no problem with say, moving Kindley to LG, then putting Hunt at RG, but i don’t like moving your RT to LT, then putting in someone else at RT, because now you’ve got 2 new starters at vital positions. Just put Davenport in at LT and quit over thinking everything. It’s even worse, when you bring in Hunt to make his first NFL start at RT as part of this change.
It kind of cracks me up when some people complain about a lack of moderation. I remember when we set up this blog the feedback was just about unanimous that no one wanted any significant level of moderation. Now suddenly we are supposed to moderate every post? I have said this before but we are not kindergarten cops. We expect you to conduct yourselves accordingly and also don’t be surprised when someone on internet fan blog gets a little toxic from time to time. Put your big boy panties on and deal with it. That is about all I have to say on this topic
There is a reason that the US has a President rather than a King.
There is a reason that the FU board has admins rather than moderators.
Well that first part might be questionable nowadays. Let the bullets fly 😁
New Age,
Yeah, I agree with that tweet/comment…because it’s exactly what I said 2 days ago. Lol
We’re stuck in a rut with Fitz at QB. He gives us a chance to win against any team, but isn’t consistent enough to win week to week, that’s why he’s been bounced from every team in the league. To take the next step we may take a step back first with Tua, but Tua needs to play now.
Fitz is a stop gap. I think they are just waiting for the right time and place to let Tua start and a west coast trip with a reshuffling of the OL. I will give the benefit of the doubt to Flores for now
Thats what i was saying yesterday, Fitz is fine at the QB spot, and they can keep running with him, the team has his back, he can be really good and carry us for wins, but ultimately, whats the point. Unless we are seriously thinking playoffs still, there is no reason to delay the start of Tua. I have already said, the Jets game is the game that best fits bringing him in, but unless they are worried about the Chargers and Rams pass rush on him, there doesnt seem to be a game that really doesnt say start me here.
I keep forgetting that Iggy is only 20 years old. Overall, I like Flores as a HC but I dont have much faith in his new Coordinators. We also lack situational coaching, especially from our OC. The defense came up big when it needed to in the first half, but the offense kept giving it back with little to show for it.
We have plenty of firepower on offense, but aren’t maximizing it. Theres no way we shouldnt have gone into the half without a lead and then beat the hell out of Seattle in the second half with our home field advantage. You cant let a team like Seattle hang around and that’s what we did.
As far as Howard goes. He might be one of those backs that needs reps to get going. I’m not sure what his issue is.
Grinder backs need reps to even out productivity. Yeah they can get 2-3 years a carry but once they start wearing down a D, then they start getting 3-4, 4-5 on those carries, so putting him in there once or twice a drive or a game, he really iisnt going to be able to put together anything special.

How come I cannot post a GIF? Maybe I am more computer challenged than Howie and his daughter
—————————————————————
You are being moderated.
I was I needed Mike E to fix my post
This team has more things to clean up than the QB and I’m sure Flores sees that as well.
Of course it does. Team was burnt to the foundation last year. To me at least, only Q is what is best for Tua’s health and development.
I think in the next draft we should absolutely go WR early, and likely a QB mid round as a backup with starting potential, if Fitz decided to retire and/or wants to go into coaching. If he wants to go into coaching id be all over making him our QB assistant if not QB coach.
DEs are my priority
Don’t disagree Ken but I think WR and DE are tops. I think WR is a solid needs for us.
Nope that’s not a 50’s Corvette. It’s Songsan Motors’ SS Dolphin. Everything that makes it work is modern sportscar. Interesting idea, even if wouldn’t plop down the $159 K for one.
It’s pretty awesome
Wonder what the interior looks like
Car or…….
D is a bad man too
Nice ride, and the car probably rides good too. That vampy chic had a huge bruise on her knee, she must be in to the rough stuff.
Rug burn not a bruise. I am a bad man
If she came with the car I would consider paying the $159k. 😁
Wonder if I’d chosen a pic without the model how many comments it would have gotten.
Lmao!
“The Miami Dolphins have decided quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will continue to start in Week 5 against the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced Tuesday on Twitter.”
But I guess that they had to announce means we are going to being talking about it every week from now on. Only a matter of time.
Yep
The announcement is newsworthy
I don’t want to say it’s an acknowledgment that they had discussions on the topic but I don’t think it’s crazy to infer it
They will probably take up the issue again next Monday
They announced it, because when asked yesterday Flores wouldn’t commit to Fitz, now he has.
Definitely reminiscent of an older Vette, maybe ’55 or ’56. I love that version of the Vette, so cool. I also love the original split view window on the Stingray. That’s when all cars didn’t share the same ideas as much, they all had their own flavor.
There’s no rush to play Tua. It also sends a message to the locker room that the coaches are willing to promote a rookie to a starting position when he may not have earned it. That’s a loser mentality. I can go either way on this, but I don’t think it’s a reason to rip the head coach. Fans want the shiny new toy. Flores needs to manage the whole team and the locker room. Our OL has looked better, but they still aren’t good. Fitz has helped them look better than they are by getting the ball out and avoiding pressure. Would a rookie be able to do the same thing? Or, would you risk further injury? I get both sides of the argument, but I trust Flores’ feel for his players and team. For now. Lol
***
Plus, I assume they have designed this offense with Fitz’ abilities in mind. Changing QBs may require a major shift in how you run your offense. I’m not sure you wanna do that after 5 or 6 games in a season where you already haven’t had the normal amount of practice time. Just my .02 worth.
***
And on Iggy….my goodness…can we let the poor kid learn how to play in the NFL? He’s a rookie who was thrown to the wolves at one of the toughest positions in football. He’s making rookie mistakes, but you hope he’ll learn and grow from this experience. Yeah, I’d love to see him playing lights out but that’s a big ask for a rookie CB. He’s also gaining valuable experience as an edge corner….where most thought he’d be a slot guy.
I’m done giving our HC the benefit of the doubt for everything. There’s zero upside to continue to play Fitz. The only way it makes sense is, if we had a real shot at making the playoffs. Can he really go 12 games with only 3 losses? I think not, he has major consistency issues. If he actually did take us to the playoffs, then he sets back a year Tua’s development.
Are we better off next year, if Tua plays a lot this year compared to a little or none? If that answer is yes, then start him now.
I was thinking same thing Ken lol. He skins look a little scraped up too so I was thinking we’ll maybe it’s rug burn lol
😁👍great minds
That’s not where you get rug burn🤔
I think we have to stop calling him “Iggy”
I keep feeling like its just a typo and it’s my fault that we gave up a TD.
One of the great innovators of rock guitar – RIP Eddie Van Halen.
RIP Eddie. He was rock for me. A friend of mine in LA used to go to garage band parties in Pasadena, Van Halen was at a lot of those, he said, Eddie was a huge idol for them.

I heard that the Diet Dew GIVES YOU THE COVID
Stop drinking that stuff man!
Well, I should be immune now, lol
And I’m on my 5th Diet Dew today, which is typical. Must have gotten The Covid before anyone knew what it was.
I was happy to see NE at 2-2 this morning. Not so happy to see Buff at 4-0.
Matt Patricia on the hotseat. Where would he coach next year, if fired? Miami or NE as DC?
Would be awkward playing for his former subordinate but I’d take him.
Eddie Van Halen.wasn’t just a rock star…. he was as close to a social media star as you could get back in the day. Always seemed like one of the most likeable guys you could find.
Should we use a different score predictions list since Howie is a retard?
I am of course kidding.
WTF 2020?! You had to take Eddie too? RIP
Yeah for real.
Wow, Eddie Van Halen died…. That’s nuts. How old was he?
65
Which is a reminder of how old the rest of us are
Some of you more so than others…..*sideways glancing at MikeE*
Bookman/Stang,
If you guys like Mt Dew, you should try Double Dew. It has twice the caffeine and sugar of regular Mt Dew.
Or if that is a bit too much, try Diet Double Dew which has half the caffeine and sugar of regular Double Dew.
Their amp energy drinks are kinda like that. I don’t think they did very well though because the Mt Dew brand is already strong and most people already think of it as an energy drink lol. Better to just keep rolling with the string brand recognition.
LOL — I searched for it out of interest combined with a bit of WTF? Was thinking something was lost in your translation. 🙂
Damn! EVH! Sad fuckin day!
I think we should draft Lawrence with Huston’s #1 pick and then trade Tua for whatever we can get for him…….
3…2….1…..
Let’s do it. You thinking Lawrence will drop that far?
I was implying that Houston’s pick will be the #1 overall in that scenario.
If we end up with #1 #1 gonna make the offseason real interesting. Trust in Gase and the Jets not to let that happen though.
Just curious if the rest of you guys are stuck doing virtual meetings and virtual conferences and that sort of thing
I’m in a new committee now that meets virtually once a month
I’m wearing a dress shirt, a jacket….and shorts and flip flops
This has been my lawyer uniform since March
Just me?
Hate frick’n Zoom. Everyone insists on it now though. Gone are the teleconference days when could put the phone on mute and take a piss or have a cig.
I just call in and lie and say Im working off a desk top and have no camera. (it’s only partly a lie because I have a lap top, but it is in a docking station with my 3 big monitors and i never open it.
Virtual depositions, court hearings, client meetings, mediations. No jury trials yet in Connecticut but court trials are going virtual but I don’t have many court trials
Or if that is a bit too much, try Diet Double Dew which has half the caffeine and sugar of regular Double Dew.
wait……what?
Doesn’t that just make it Regular Dew?

LOL, Stang, I figured either someone would be a South Park fan and get it right away, or someone would pick up on it doing an internet search.
Cav,
I only drink Dew as a mixer with Captain, and it has to be diet or it is too sweet.
I know, I am wierd.
I’ve never been a coffee fan so my coffee every morning for the last 15 years has been Mt Dew.
I’ve never tried diet, but no doubt I’d think it is disgusting like every other diet soda on the market, lol.
Only Diet Drink that legit comes close to the real on is Dr Pepper.
Some of the Zero cal products come pretty close though.
I’ve always been a snob when it comes to diet, lowfat, glutenfree, zero calorie, etc., lol.
I agree D on the diet Dr Pepper
Been nothing but Diet since high school.. Diet Dew and Doc Pepper are my go to’s….taste the most like regular. Diet root beer and cream soda on that list too.
No virtual for me.
There’s plenty of time for the stej to screw it all up
Keep losing Houston
How does SOS work again
Does the team with the tougher schedule pick after the team with the weaker scheduled (punished twice)
It has to be bc if it’s the other way around all that talk about the Texans having a hard schedule doesn’t make sense
Just realized that this order means that both the giants and falcons are 0-4 too
So that means either the jests have a tougher schedule than the Texans or the Falcons and Giants do
I’m just going to have to get a puke bucket and deal with it. Go Jet….urp, urp, blaaaaahhhahhhaaaahhhaaaahh cough cough
Ya’ll I am offended by all this Soda Pop talk. Can we please keep it to football? 😉 Don’t make me get dramatic.

In CA I grew up calling it soda or coke (even when it isn’t coke). I think the coke thing came from my grandma who is from Tennessee because no one else I know in CA calls it ‘coke’.
So I guess the real answer to your question is in NorCal we call it soda, lol.
Soda in CT and DC area as welll. Not sure about FL but if you say people know what you are talking about.
In CA I thought everything was “coke”

Seriously?
You have been “crying” about your perceived unfair treatment on this blog by Piggy longer than I’ve been crying over my dead wife.
It’s been over a year now as I read the encounter between you and Piggy to Mrs. K when she was alive. That’s a fact.
Every week or two or three, you come here and drop bombs about your mistreatment and lament the good old days at sun sentinel. You have rarely discussed football when you do show up, yet you assert your opinion that the blog has gone awry because it doesn’t do football 24/7. You know what goes on here, because you read this blog all the time.
If you want to talk football, I believe your opinions will be accepted wholeheartedly here as you seem to know the game well. It was the original reason, I came, as this place seemed like it had knowledgeable Dolphin fans. Then, Mrs. K and I met a few of them.
If you want to tell us all how smart you are, carry on with racist rhetoric and lies, and how we are ignorant in the grand scheme of the “world order,” so be it. Some of us will challenge your/that bullshit. I, for one, found it vile and, at the very least, hypocritical to your one-love meme, back at SS.
Like I alluded above, I agreed with Piggy’s distaste of your non-football rhetoric and would never apologize to you for saying what was he said to you. Perhaps, you need to try and understand the message. You brought it on yourself. Now, I don’t know what you’re doing.
It seems like you’re crying like a baby because your feelings got hurt and you can’t stop crying. That’s on you, too.
Seriously!
—————–
First of all, I thank you for saying that I seem to know the game well. That makes me happy, man! Thank you. 🙂
But aside from that, you didn’t address my question. You’ve been chaffing my tail since well before what you characterize as my chastising by Pig (for lack of better words)… which you had no problem with, clearly.
Check it out… if I said to YOU what Pig said to me (or just imagine a conservative talking that level of smack to you), that would be WAR waged against you, and I’ve already seen a bit of it from you on your perceived receiving end.
Think I’m crying? Nah… I’m not “crying”. I’m talking about outright DISRESPECT to me, with an axe to grind. You wouldn’t tolerate it either, Krishna. Wear the shoe on the other foot.
It’s about politics, isn’t it? Just come clean and say it. I stayed away from politics, and I got told very sternly not to tell the blog what to talk about, being I wanted to talk about football. You can’t have it both ways, sir (no, it wasn’t YOU who stated as much).
And NO, I do not read the blog all the time, as you stated above. But every time I come over here, it’s more POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS. It’s the great divider, and now we have former friends out to get one another anymore. It just not cool anymore.
BAD move to call me a pussy, as it only serves to escalate a divide. WORSE move for the moderators to actually pat you on the back for that move. I want PEACE, not war, Krishna. I think(?) you want the same thing, too. Am I right?
I’d LOVE to get back to football!

Unless Ryan Fitzpatrick plays stellar ball, expect Tua to be the starter after the bye.
stej before the bye, stej after the bye.
That would be one heck of a measuring stick for the team as a whole, especially QB play.

Same here, 100%.
And after DE (in nor particular order), RB, RT (for southpaw Tua), LB (the next Brian Urlacher, the never-ending search since Zach), and WR.
👍
When I was growing up in Wisconsin we called it pop. Somewhere along the line I changed to soda. I must have become de-northernized or dropped the Fargo lingo when I lived in Florida…. not sure.
It was called pop all over the country for a long time. It stuck in some states but I think soda became the name in more populated areas because of branding and throwing that word “soda” in our face.
I agree. I think the advertising used the word soda and that became all you would hear.
And soft drinks. WTF does that mean? LOL
We have no idea what this team will look like in the 2nd half. Last year after an 0-7 start we finished 5-4. The Jets went 6-2 down the stretch. For some reason everyone already wants to know who MVPs are and what each team needs to do in next year’s draft. After 4 games?
I know exactly what this team will look like in the 2nd half, but I’m not going to tell you. Nananananana…

LOL Top!
I’m pretty sure it was called a Soda because before it was bottled and sold you had to go to a Soda Fountain to get one!
But I’ve been wrong before?
Around me the more rural you get the more it’s called pop but mostly it’s soda

Not sure of roots, as parents are from Chicago, born in TX, lived in Mississippi until 8, grew up in S. FL.
And, then it’s, is Pepsi ok. Not really. Dr. Pepper was a go-to back in the day or root beer.
RC had a strange after taste.
Nehi grape was a favorite, too, but not the orange.
I think Fitz’s tenure is a little closer to ending, especially if he has a bad or so-so game this weekend.
Hopefully, Tua is far enough along, both mentally and physically. Just not a believer right now.
All we really have to go by is the scrimmage Fitz sat out, and Tua wasn’t good, but I find it hard to believe Burrow and Herbert were ready a while back and have played pretty good, and Tua still isn’t ready.
Growing up in Hialeah everything was soda, until we visited relatives in Pittsburgh who called it pop.
Krishna – Used coke? lol
We called soda soda, never called it pop. As a joke we sometimes called it sody-pop but never seriously referenced it as pop. All cola sodas were just “Coke”. No one ever asked for Pepsi.
No coke, pepsi.
Or as some called it pexi.
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, pepsi…
Thats a good skit lol.
It ain’t all about winning this year.
And if Flores is coaching that way he should be fired.
But perhaps the most significant innovation in the realm of soda flavoring came in 1886, when J.S. Pemberton, using a combination of kola nut from Africa and cocaine from South America, created the iconic taste of Coca-Cola. 1833.
Was in Peru a few years ago, and on the way back to Cusco from Machu Picchu the driver had cocaine leaves that they suck on. We tried it, it’s pretty good, but doesn’t get you high. The folk tale was their army survived on just these leaves for some time and they felt more energized.
When we got to Cusco the hotel had these complimentary leaves in the lobby to put in your tea.
I have a friend from Bolivia, they use coca leaves for everything. Headaches, nausea, as a pick me up energy thing, everything.
Those Grape Sodas turn your shit a weird shade of green if you drink too many of them.
That red 40 and blue dyes do, do some weird shit, especially there😉
Krishna, my dad swore by RC Cola, but im like you there was something off about it to my liking.

That is why they put it in tea especially for tourists. It alleviates a few illnesses caused by the high altitude mostly high altitude headache.
Seeing that Austin Jackson might practice tomorrow is a good sign as far as I am concerned
I’m glad it’s not a serious injury

Chris Griers fault, he chose the wrong player at 5. what qb ever amounted to anything from a saban ala team? at 5’9 tua looks to be too small to see over the ol.
We are QB hexed
Fitzpatrick IMO is tied with Jay Fiedler as the best QB we’ve had since Marino. that’s how bad we suck at choosing a QB!
first we give up a 2nd for Rosen, then a 5th overall for tua!
do you see a pattern?
what’s even worse is, i think rosen may be better than tua!
at the time i wanted the best tackle available at 5 or trade back for future consideration, i wanted us to draft jordan love, after watching herbert we should have taken him!
tua is small, he has marginal arm strength, he’s not going to escape the pocket like watson or jackson, he doesn’t have the wheels. so everything about him is either par or sub par.
maybe he’s accurate and turns into a drew brees. i’ll believe it when i see it
the reason you dont see tua out there is due to trying to cover up a huge mistake for as long as they can, job security.
I remember what everyone said about Josh Allen too!
I’m not sure I trust this board to choose a QB either!!!!!!! 😉
with the inside info and the availability to know these college players as our front office has, i’d bet most on this board would make better decisions at qb than the shot callers of this team.
i think jackson was a reach, he seems to be playing good however if we traded back to maybe 10 we could’ve had jackson, wirfs , love and maybe another value pick.
spending that #5 pick on tua was a huge gamble, it doesn’t seem like a smart gamble as the man doesn’t appear to me to be a giant killer.
i hope it pays off
