Through their first 16 starts, if Tua can just stay healthy, he can ball, I remember how great he was at Alabama.

Interesting stat line.
I can say that I absolutely believe that the ceiling is higher with Murray though.
He's definately not as athletic as Murray, that's for sure. I'll give him this though, he's an accurate passer, I believe he has a 109 QB rating since returning from injury. I would still easily take Murray over him though.
Here's what Colin Cowherd said about Tua recently:
Colin Cowherd: “I gotta give Tua credit, I was a doubter and didn’t think he was athletic enough, but he is the left-handed Mac Jones. He’s accurate, he doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, he knows what he is, and he knows what he isn’t. Miami is sort of a poor man’s New England, they play good defense, they play the field position game good, Miami’s got a great tight end in Gesicki, and they’ve now got some great speed on the perimeter. Tua is very much Mac Jones. In the last four games he’s completing 78% of his throws. That is literally like scrimmage numbers and like 7-on-7 summer camp numbers. He has a 109 passer rating since returning from the injury. He deserves credit, he knows what he is and he knows what he isn't, and what he is is wildly accurate."
I guess I should say it’s too early to make a major judgment call on Tua, the kid is definitely getting better with a suspect group in Miami, at least on offense.
Murray is a playmaker though
Seems like all the rumors about the Dolphins trading him are pretty much bullcrap.........

I think Miami was pretty serious in their search for someone else.
If Houston wasn’t so unreasonable with trade demands I’d say Watson would be playing QB for the fins
Still? Or at that time when they thought Watson was attainable? Tua is playing pretty good right now - how bout a Baker - Tua trade even up? Hmmmmmmmmm.......

Not still as far as I have heard. But if they still don't see him as their future, he is certainly building up his resume in the meantime for trade value.
Baker for Tua? Sure! Mix and match! Fun for us I know. I forget, is your fan loyalty with the Dolphins?
Well I'm pretty much a Cavs fan - always hoping they do good as it's been crap since the Ego left town for LA. I always have the Browns on or the Indians but never really get any hopes up just probably cause I should know better by now! No connection with Miami
