The second part of the latest SI All Dolphins mailbag features questions (and answers) on Tua and the next step, why Jaylen Waddle is different from Ted Ginn Jr., explaining why the Dolphins aren't cutting Xavien Howard (though it's not impossible they will trade him), and more.
Here we go:
From Ben Reiss (BenReiss1):
What type of year would you need to see from Tua to convince you he is track to being a franchise QB?
For me, it's not so much about stats — particularly won-loss record, which should be only a small part of QB evaluations — but rather making some plays that really open my eyes. Sure, Tua had some highlight-reel plays in the game against Arizona, including his fake in the open field against Buddy Baker, but nothing that had me thinking, "Oh yeah, that's the one." More than anything, I want to see him throw a pass into an incredibly tight window on a few occasions. If we're talking purely statistically, I guess 3,500 yards with a 3:1 TD-INT ratio would be a good start.
