Tua reminds me of a young Steve Young. The questions for me are how much of impact on his performance was having 3 top 15 WR on the team, and injuries.

Tua doesn't run as well as Steve. If he hadn't had those 3 surgeries in college he would be my top choice at QB but those weren't minor injuries. He never played a full season at Bama so I would be a little cautious about drafting him high.

Pats beat writer Ben Volin thinks Pats could make a move to #3 for Tua. Would need to be creative to make trade happen but certainly possible.

Nah I doubt they do that. Really doubt it. 23 all the way up to 3 would definitely have to involve player/s and picks. Jake Luton from Oregon St. looks like a Belichick type QB. Late rounder Pro style QB with decent arm strength that moves around well in the pocket.

Volin suggested Edelman to Detroit as part of the package. But did mention Hightower or Thuney as alternative possibilities being moved if not JE.

I think Gilmore is another actual possibility, as he is going to want/need an extension soon. He is like the 8th or 9th highest paid at his position and his deal runs thru 2021.

There were rumors the Pats had talked about moving up for Baker in 2018...and Bill needs a new FQB so I would not be shocked if he made a major play to go get one. And he is close to Saban, so he would definitely know all he wants to know about Tua. It also would allow him to get in front a QB needy division rival and potentially take their guy from under their noses.

Interesting timing. Dolphins have looked pretty damn good with Fitz.

Fitz has been playing well. Their next game is vs. the Rams. Sure would like to see a veteran QB like Fitz in there against Donald and Co. Hopefully, with a bye week to prepare, Tua can play well enough to give the Dolphins a chance - would love to see the Rams get a loss there.

Their next 2 opponents are Rams and Cardinals. I swear if they lose cause they are starting a rookie QB

Fitzmagic is powerful but fleeting. Miami is being smart and getting out of in front of the inevitable collapse that is coming where he goes from HOF level performance to playing like Ryan Lindley.

Smart would be letting him start Vs the Jets. Instead he gets to face the best defensive linemen in the NFL
