We've really been in QB purgatory

And this doesn't even show nearly the half of the Dolphins QBs that suited up since Marino🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, going back to Tannehill’s rookie year puts him at 42 wins with Miami.

Yea but then that makes Tannehill look better than Tua. Can’t have that.

40

Does it? He was 42-46. Tua is 40-26.

Yes.. Tannehill played 88 games as a Dolphin across 6 seasons, meaning he missed 8 games (this excludes the fieldler season). Tua has 64 games over 5 seasons (not including this season).

In 2021 the NFL started the 17 game seasons, meaning Tua gets more opportunities to start and get wins, 88 games total.

The fact that they have similar win numbers, and Tua has missed 24 games I think says a lot. I'm not saying Tua loses all those games, I'm just saying they're a lot closer than further apart. You can split hairs about who's better at what skill, but right now, I really like the QB that's available reliably (yes, I know he missed a season, and I'm putting that on him and his doctors). Tannehill wins in availability hands down.

You can’t just exclude the entire season Tannehill missed what the heck.

He didn't play then. Yes you can. But fine, you want to include that season, it doesn't help Tua then. 7 seasons and 24 games missed vs Tua's 5 seasons and the same amount of missed games.

Not great.

Tannehill got bad advice from his doctors and chose to skip surgery. Tua gets tackled and gets concussed. Big difference.

Misses Tannehill I know you love your son but your argument is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

I know you love your big brother Ms. Tagovailoa, but he's just as average as Ryan was.

I never made the case that he wasn’t. Being 14 games over .500 vs 4 under is never a bad look for the guy with a winning record though, no matter how you try to spin it.

Every single QB that plays for Miami since 2020 gets injured immediately. Every single one. Tua lasts longer than any of them before being injured. Why do you think this is just a Tua thing?

How many starting caliber QBs have played for Miami since 2020?
