This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
I know this season did not go as expected. We had some really good Highs(Ravens Thursday night game) and some really low lows. (Jacksonville game in England) But the last 7 games were exciting. We got a taste of winning . But we know what needs fixing and what doesn't. I knew we were not going to the Superbowl this season. But alot of our weaknesses were highlighted like Jizz on a crime scene thru a blue light. OLINE QB are priorities. Our Defense needs to stay as is except for a few tweaks. Our Special Teams went south. Used to be a strength. We can highlight that through the draft. 2023 we have 2 first rounders. I don't care if we stick with TUA or not. I like him but he needs to be better. He needs an oline.
The record might not reflect it but we are a vastly improved Team. We are a definite Mid Range Team. We are not Pond scum like when we were # 30 and 1-7 . Teams have to prepare for us. We are up and coming. Grier needs to get some advice for drafting OLINE. Ask for help. Pay some people (Jimmy Johnson) to suggest a few great prospects.
Things are looking up. Lets go out on a high note and Sweep the Fing PATS!!!!!!!!
Let me Quote a great man who once said:
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!!! Hell no!...
It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!...
GO DOLPHINS!!!!

I'm curious what would have happened if Tua didn't miss any games. I totally agree with the consensus about his lack of arm strength. Too bad PEDs are illegal cause he could sure use some. Oline a huge disappointment year after year. This franchise needs better scouts, period dot.
If Tua didn't get hurt we win at least 2 more games maybe more. Watching TUA's mechanics he steps forward and uses his whole body to throw. It's usually very accurate if he's not being rushed and sees a person open. He's not a big guy . When I see him training it's usually focused on his form and stamina. Not strength. I'm guessing his previous injury history keeps him from heavy weight lifting. Hopefully this winter he can get some heavy reps in and add some strength.

Yes. Watching some of these referees its almost like they are getting their marching orders from Vegas......

TCP, I also believe Miami could have won more games if Tua wasn't hurt.
IMO, Miami's OCs went away from Tua's strengths....prior to the Titans game, during the winning streak, Tua killed the opposition with his quick slants. No one could stop him, and that's where Waddle shined. Tua is extremely accurate on those throws. The OCs just couldn't get it in their thick heads that the WR screen passes just wouldn't work, but they kept trying and losing yardage.
Granted, Tua does not have a cannon for an arm, but given enough time, he can hit the deep passes; he has shown that.
Another advantage he has is his running ability. Through most of this season, Tua would not take off. Against the Patriots, he had two big runs. He needs to work that into his game.
Well, with Flores no longer the HC, will the new HC get rid of him, or keep him and see if he can improve with a better OLine? From what I understand, the pickings at QB in the upcoming draft aren't that good.
Be alarmed. Very alarmed. Our team wasn't perfect but it was getting there. This was like putting to sleep a puppy for a broken leg. Makes no sense. So unnecessary. Unless other things were already in motion that a 7 game winning streak almost ruined.
