Give me Herbert over Tua.

[Phishfan]

I realize Patriot fans are panicking and people are writing them off after their bad year of 12-4 but it's been 30 years since we went 12-4. Whatever we need to do to get a top QB we have to do it. The time for taking the long shot has passed a long time ago.

You don't think they tried the longshot route? Henne, Beck, Tannehill, White, etc. Everything they have tried was a longshot.

Usually first round QBs aren't considered a "longshot", but I get your point.

That's all they have done with QB as well as other positions. It's time to try something different and go after a known commodity.

And then there's this article. I don't believe they are in love with him or at the very least they are not interested in giving up draft choices to move up to make sure they can get him and believe he'll be gone. Either way I got a feeling a lot of fans are going to be disappointed when the Dolphins either don't trade up and Tua's gone or they don't draft him even if he is there. I don't get the feeling at all this is a smoke screen. If it is who is it benefitting? Either they are already in talks with Detroit about what it would take to get the #3 pick or they aren't. If they are the smoke screen is a complete waste of time. If they are not, then that's WAY more telling then some stupid cat and mouse game they would be playing with Tua. I certainly could be wrong, but I don't see it.

I saw that earlier today and am still not sure how I feel about it. While the straight forward answer is like you say I keep reminding myself how much all of this is a game but then I bounce back and think Flores probably thinks he can win with any solid QB. It's mentally tiresome trying to figure out where they are going ... hahahaha

If nothing else, this will be the most interesting Dolphins draft day(s) in as many years as I can remember.   

[Tenshot13]

Per a "source", Tua had a "weird" meeting with the Dolphins where he felt he was given the "cold shoulder" but he would still like the Dolphins to draft him at 5 or trade up for him.  Don't you love random "sources"?

"Oh wow, Miami isn't interesting in drafting Tua anymore. Guess I don't have to trade up from 6 to get him now" - San Diego Chargers

Anonymous sources in politics are 100% worthless, in sports they are 90% worthless.

Sorry, I misunderstood. His injury history certainly makes him a longshot in my book. I don't understand anyone seeing it differently.

[CF DolFan]

They were killing Tua on the radio this morning. Everyone was saying he came off as a whiner and was upset they weren't kissing his arse. They also said that's not how these professional interviews go and he was misinformed if he thought different. They also were saying that regardless of if the Dolphins love him he won't know it until draft day.

This all stems from what I posted above.  A "source" saying Tua said the interview was "weird".  I take as much a stock in that as Kaep taking Brady's place in NE.

Exactly, there was no "source". The media and the team just make shit up as smoke screens and so the media has something to talk about during this dead time.

Mia has a history of weird interviews, just ask Dez Bryant.
