Fact. Yeah has great weapons, seems to be at his ceiling, that and durability concerns are legit.

Burrow is always injured and has great weapons.  He makes 55 mil a year.  Tua at 52 mil is the right number.

Burrow almost won a SB. They are not the same, but you already know that.

Tua has the added advantage of playing his home games in a favorable climate. I understand Miami’s concerns, he’s a tough guy to evaluate. He also has a concerning injury history. He bulked up last year to survive, did, and now he’s dropping some of that weight? There’s a lot of context there beyond, “the most passing yards one season.” He might be worth $50M+, he certainly has been good. I just wouldn’t want to be the team paying him.

And thats why im not saying tua should make more than burrow.  52 mil is the number for tua.  The dolphins would be absolutely foolish for not giving that to him.

If you are not paying that, then what do the Dolphins do?

This isnt a green bay situation where you have a kid like love in the bullpen.

I get it. They either pay him now or (at a minimum) tag him later. To me, it’s a bit of a rock and a hard place. I mentioned it before in this thread, but the fish are already over the 2025 cap by something like $10M.

List of qbs who had more passing yards than Tua last year:

Oh wait…..there is none.

So you think Tua is worth $50+ million a year guaranteed for at least 4-5 years?

I would LOVE to see the dolphins commit cap suicide like that

Not the same. Tue could get his contract, smack his head the turf, get a concussion and be done. Burrow simply needs to rub some dirt on it.

$52 mill for 4 years is the absolute minimum for Tua.  QBS dont grow on trees.  When you find a good one, you keep them.

It’s not the risk of injury as much as the kind of injury. Tua is a head hitting  the turf away from never playing again. Concussions only get worse each time.

exactly.  And those stats are purely guess work and ridiculous.  And they make it look precise to a tenth of a percent.  Total guesses.  Moronic.

Concussion dont seem to be very common for qbs.  Tua getting through 18 games unscathed should take away any concern about the head injuries.

Just until the next one. But so far so good, but I’m not sure 50+ million good.

Yes, Burrow is better.  He is not close to being 10x better.
