    Is there a chance Tua doesn't play again?

    Feels like 0 chance he just walks away, but definitely an ever present chance that any next concussion is his last.

    I'm confused. So TuAnon trolled Chris Simms' takes on Tua, and now he's mad that Tua gave the guy's family money after he died? Thats the summary?

    What's the beef with simms and Tuanon? Did they troll him personally, or just he's mad that they laughed at his takes?

    pretty much, you'd think a troll would appreciate a fellow troll, but I guess not. Especially when the TuAnon Troll was cheeky and fun.

    essentially a tit for tat because Chris Simms is the most vocal anti-tua media personality out there.

    I mean.

    Jacob Coker writes left handed and throws right handed. Lebron James plays basketball right handed but writes left handed.

    Its a strange insult.

    Maybe he’d have average arm strength if he threw with his correct handedness. This is a pretty basic and obvious take made by many people

    Arm strength didn't prevent him from being elite last year when healthy. Now if you said throwing with his right hand would keep his brain from getting scrambled, maybe you'd have a point.

    Elite? I like Tua and hope he doesn’t die on the field, as much as the dolphins try. But there’s like 3 qb’s who are elite.

    Not sure who the other 2 are but Tua was in that 3 prior to getting hurt last year. He was elite.

    Tua is not an elite thrower. It’s not really up for debate. He has looked good with great weapons in both college and the pros. But every game there are throws he misses due to lack of arm strength.

    if we want to talk about elite talent tua may not be in the top 10.

    no particular order because I don’t want to get into semantics but when it comes to talent at QB, here are guys who are unquestionably above Tua.

    Mahomes
    Rodgers
    Josh Allen
    Justin Herbert
    Burrow
    Lamar Jackson
    Trevor Lawrence
    Deshaun Watson (eww)
    Stafford (if his shoulder works)
    Jalen Hurts


    If Mike McDaniel got a free trade, tua for any one of the guys I mentioned he’d take it in a heart beat.

    I don't think Miami would consider trading Tua for 40 year old Rodgers or Stafford. I think the arm strength stuff is overstated. There's been a recent run of really good QBs that also have absolute cannons and it's kinda made people forget that there's a lot of other stuff that goes into playing QB. Brees had a HOF career with a below average arm. Tua throws with excellent anticipation and accuracy. It helps bridge the arm strength gap. The only thing that really worries me about Tua as a player is his health.

    In the two decades since Marino retired, the Dolphins have had god knows how many QBs come and go. Many of them had better arms than Tua. None were better QBs.
