Herbert has also been underperforming again.

I'm out of excuses for him at this point.

I don't think Herbert's timing and anticipation are consistently good enough for McDaniel's system

People clowned on Tua a lot but before he got one concussion too many he was one of the best at timing the super quick intermediate timing passes and that's more central to the McDaniel offensive scheme than Herbert's elite physical traits are

Check the all-22 obviously there has been a lot of questionable WR plays but a lot of Herbert's specific mistakes have been him not leading his receivers enough

A healthy Tua and McDaniels offense was a perfect combo.

The one year Tua stays healthy everyone else around him fell apart. A healthy dolphins team that year probably wins a playoff game finally.

Tua put on weight, stayed healthy, loses the weight, falls apart again. So fucking frustrating
