Warfish Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Was inevitable. And Fitz and Tua both knew it, doubt this is a shock to anyone inside that organization, this date was likely picked months ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Tua's track record w injuries, I would not assume this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'd be more confident about Tua's future in this league if he was sucking for Miami when Gase was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This is a mistake if you ask me. Fitz has them playing well and in playoff contention. I'd least wait until he maybe has some bad games or gets hurt or something. You have the chance to be a bit patient with this guy. Too soon. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Dolphins in 2nd place, one game out of 1st, largely due to Fitz's play and for his trouble they make the switch now? Why not wait a couple of weeks to see if they remain in contention? I get the inevitabiltiy of it all and actually agree with WF that it was probably preordained that the switch would happen after their bye but this in an odd season, let it play out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a HC with job security thinking long term. Good move. Those dopes are about as inept as us. Another idiot owner and management team. Guaranteed Flores got the orders to start Tua from up top. Gonna be fun watching the annual Miami cluster fuk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 There has to be something more to this. Fitz was balling out. He even looked delighted for Tua as he was going on, probably doesn’t react that way if he was permanently benched. Feel horrible for him if he’s just benched. Classy guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbloodblitz Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Easily one of the most personable quarterbacks we've ever had. I've said before he would be the perfect back up to Sam Darnold. In fact I think their playing styles are very similar. I would trade for him in a second and release Robot Joe Flacco! He's about as fun as wet cardboard- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King P Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Timing is weird, but might as well see what Tua as made of. Just happening sooner than later. But hey, now Week 12 might be our best chance at getting a win ??♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King P Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Apparantly this has always been the plan. Fitz and Tua have been splitting reps with the starters in practice, and Miami wanted to start him after the bye. I talked to a friend of mine who's a LOLphins fan, and he told me that. He's also very happy, because he's seen every Miami game, and in his words, "Fitz has been holding the offense back. He's too turnover prone, and has been a 1 read QB that locks on to his receivers. His arm is completely shot, no zip on his passes whatsoever. Devante Parker is being wasted, as is Mike Gesicki. Might as well see what Tua can do" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Had Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Fitz is shot...he has a chad noodle arm now. It's Tua time and he has 2 weeks to prepare. He may turn out a bust, but the fins need to see what he has these last 10 games. Of course being 3-3 on a rebuilding team you'd keep playing fitz?

Ben Had Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The fins are not in a playoff hunt! They stripped the roster and traded some of their best players last year. The owner made it clear this was a tear down and rebuild. It's more important to get Tua playing time this year and for the fins to evaluate him...He could have a glass hip or just not be the over hyped QB of the last couple years. Several games we'll know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again...every fin fan knows this is a building year. Different story next year and the fins still have 4 picks in next years draft in the first 2 rounds. Tua had to wait until the OL proved it was playing well...remember it's all new just like the jets, with rookies starting. Everyone thought the fins were tanking last year for Tua and would be 0-16...You think after last year they are good enough to be talked about for a playoff hunt...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee a sizeable portion of the Fins fanbase is quietly dreaming about the wildcard or even the division. They are currently 1 game behind Buffalo and 1 game ahead of NE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetluv58 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Wonderboy said: Fitz did not play well vs. Jets. But naming Tua the starter without letting his feet get wet seems odd. I guess they feel he’s ready but it would have benefited him to start the 2nd half vs the Jets last week. Fitz is probably scratching his beard right now. Tua did seem poised and confident in the brief time he was in. Kudos to Miami for showing actual confidence in him as opposed to our modus operandi of “he’s not ready” and fielding last-leg veterans when we’re 0-6. Fitz is waiting in the wings if needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeet Ulrich Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It's really mindboggling that as Jet fans, who saw Fitztragic up close and personal for two years, think he's the solution to get a team to the playoffs. I'd go with an unknown variable rather than a known loser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’d have thought while the Fins in contention they stay with Fitz unless Tua is lighting it up in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
