justforbeer 39 Posted August 29, 2023 So usually I pick up a quarterback in the third or fourth round but this year I said the heck with it! I saw TUA was going late and so I stacked up as much as I could, and got TUA late in the draft. His upside is ridiculous, but certainly high-risk. With those two wide receivers, he could put up some really huge numbers, just needs to stay healthy! Why not,?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted August 29, 2023 its a viable strategy. but in this scenario the concussion issue with Tua does seriously concern me. if getting him late, I'd also grab another late QB and run the roster with 2 QB's on it. This way if Tua goes down, you have a legit backup. if you can get another late round QB like Goff or Rodgers to pair up with Tua, you're laughing because then you get all of the upside with none of the risk. (well... almost none) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,461 Posted August 29, 2023 Get ready to pick up another Qb. Tua can post great numbers with his two WRs, but one good hit, and he could be done for the season, even career. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 816 Posted August 29, 2023 Qb Concussion List 2022 1) Tua 2) Picket 3) Bridgewater 4) Wilson 5) Huntley Two of those were backups, so among starters only 3 out of 32. So the odds are fairly low. And the Dolphins (and Tua) will likely be more aware about getting rid of the ball fast and avoiding hits. If Tua does get one he probably isn't coming back this season (if ever), unlike other qbs. But it's only a small chance, so I think Tua is good pick especially at his ridiculously low adp.

IGotWorms 3,315 Posted August 29, 2023 Sure, it’s a good strategy. He was great last year when he played. You get 17 games out of him or close to it, you’ve probably got a top 5 QB. It’s not that likely to happen, but as a gamble it’s a pretty good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,461 Posted August 29, 2023 He does have a great ADP. If he falls into the double digit rounds I’m taking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RareN64Dream 9 Posted August 29, 2023 In a 2 QB start league; I believe I got Mahomes, Lawrence, Tua T and Bryce Young for one of my teams. Kind of reached for Tua; but oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tua had more than one concussion didnt he? and one was considered a major concussion if my memory is correct. (If I am wrong please correct me) thing about concussions, each concussion you get makes the next one easier to get and its more likely to be serious. The effects of concussions are cumulative. anyhow, I do worry about Tua. but I also have not seen the medical reports so maybe there is something there that we are not aware of. but this issue is not to be taken lightly.

RareN64Dream 9 Posted August 30, 2023 JustForBeer, no not only QBs. All 3 of my teams are pretty well rounded and projected over 120 points for each for Week 1. I actually have Hurts, Burrow, Tua and Bryce Young in the league I was initially trying to recall. Other one I got Mahomes, Lawrence, Kenny Pickett and Bryce Young. My auction league I got Cousins, Tua, CJ Stroud and Sam Howell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickie 39 Posted September 1, 2023 Tua and his agent have decided to pull an *Aaron Judge* and bet on himself. Tua could’ve taken a package in light of the big Lamar contract, but didn’t. That makes me feel confident that Tua feels confident in his abilities and health to roll the dice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcBlitzkrieg 17 Posted September 1, 2023 Tua is thick boy now, put on those LBs to absorb the hits and learned him some jujitsu so he can take his "falls" more efficiently, limiting the impacts of the ground to his head.... ride or die time.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So much so that he contemplated retiring at the end of last season. He’s going to be really good until the next concussion that will very likely end his career. It’s unfortunate.
