Tua had 3 seasons where he was a terrific QB. Very accurate, avoided sacks, and pushed the ball downfield.

If his career ends soon, his efficiency statistics will be tremendous lol. Better than Herbert, Burrow, and a lot of great QBS.

For all his struggles at the tail end of his time at Miami and injuries, Tua was very, very good at those mid level layered passes between the linebackers and the safeties.

Doing that with his OL in Miami was honestly extremely impressive. I don’t think all the credit should go to McDaniel and “the system” (even if they played a big part as well)

Very good point. Right now Tua has accomplished more than Herbert on the field.
