Read where Tua said he put himself "in harm's way...basically leaving my guys out to dry". It is 100% true. His decision to run directly head-first into Hamlin was probably the most idiotic thing he could have done.

But, we are where we are and I think it present him with an opportunity to both play within himself and somewhat put the team on his back. To be clear, if a gun was to my head and I was forced to choose whether he would or would not, I'd have to say not. And it pains me to say it. But, the last 5 games are not a gauntlet of best in the conference teams like we had last year with Dallas (who came into the game 10-4 like us), Baltimore and Buffalo...with an away game @KC as our prize for limping into the playoffs.

There will be times during these last 5 games where we need him to make plays to keep the possibility of playoffs alive. Leading the team down this stretch...stepping up in those critical moments...this is an opportunity for him to show he's matured and developed beyond the guy who simply can't get it done in crunch time. He's had some real improvement since coming back in extending plays, throwing off schedule, scrambling a bit (safely). He led us as we played the full 60 in a very close game w/Buffalo. But, he also missed a couple of throws against GB that could have maybe swung the momentum back our way. This is by far the biggest remaining gap in his game and his opportunity to swing from a QB that probably doesn't have "it" to one that might.

Don't hold your breath.

Unfortunately today he did nothing to dissuade me from my 'gun to the head' perspective.

Hes still running head first like RB ........Maybe todays horrible injury .......watching that man carted off the field shirtless will WHTFU.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
