Skyler To The Rescue

Post by WildcatEngineer » September 12th, 2024, 9:22 pm

Tua is down.

He was throwing more to the Bills players than to the Dolphins players.

Pick 'Em

Post by katlander » September 13th, 2024, 8:48 am

This could be the beginning of the end for Tua considering his history of head trauma. Hopefully Skyler is ready for the moment.

Hopefully he is the next Brock Purdy. Purdy had a college QB rating of 151.1, Skyler 142.1.

Brock is 6-1 & 220, Skyler 6-2 & 223.

Brock was a 7th round pick and the #262 pick. Skyler also a 7th round pick and #247. Both were drafted in 2022.

They were the last 2 quarterbacks taken in the draft. Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant.

The 2 have many similarities and commonalities. They have had mostly parallel careers. Hopefully that continues.

I don't see Tua continuing on as an NFL QB. He's had multiple concussions over a couple of years. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) doesn't get better the more injuries you have. He should probably just hang up his cleats at this point, rather than risk more serious injuries and complications.

Wish him well and hope that he enjoys the rest of days NOT playing football. If he doesn't hang it up, he's an idiot. Enjoy spending the obscene money you were given for your privilege of being given your talent.

Skylar did OK (13/19) and might have done better had he had decent protection from his O-line: 5 sacks, and maybe only 1 or 2 of those were on him. Left the game with a chest injury & I hope that he's doing fine.

Skylar did himself no favors with his performance. The Seahawks have a very pedestrian defense but they have a very loud 12th man environment and the Dolphins OL was horrible, as were their special teams . He needed to bail out more and run the ball , no way was he going to be successful staying in the non-existent pocket.
