saw this come up in another quote.
I really don’t know what you’re talking about. He’s literally leaning backwards and being hit as he throws it.
is there something lost in translation since he’s left handed and he’s on the opposite foot?
As a dolphins fan, I wish he had a few more yards in it, but I actually take that clip as a positive…it’s the antithesis of the narrative that surrounds him. Tua is supposedly one read and check-down, but there he is surveying the field and deciding to Chuck it 40 yards downfield.
If you want to shit on Tua, you should post clips of the interceptions.
I mean, it looks to me like he plants and lets loose — and he definitely isn’t hit until the ball is 15 yards off his hand. Either way, it was a pretty bad throw.
He really isn't - you can pause the video at 4 seconds where he had time to set his feet and throw while the defender was 4 yards away. Even as he releases the ball the defender is still 2 yards away. To me this was a clear demonstration of Tua's lack of arm strength. If you see this as a positive play then we probably aren't going to see eye to eye on it. I watched this game and Tua was bad IMO.
That penalty on Cleveland is hilarious. Only a 3rd down, 50 yard penalty, that was offensive PI as much as it was defensive PI.
The Browns hit the FG at the end of the half but a TO was called.
The next kick is missed, of course, because Cleveland.
The kicker was iced effectively.

FWIW, I really don't think it's Ryan's fault - he has a set of turnstiles in front of him on his offensive line. If they draft some good linemen in April, he might have a few good years still left in him. (Or he might not, but whoever replaces him is going to need a new line as well.)
You certainly know better than I where the problem lies with the sacks, but like in the game with the Patriots, he can't seem to avoid sacks very well anymore.
From what I've seen of Ryan this year, he's getting hit all the time and looks skittish because of the constant pressure he's seeing. Very few QBs could look good in this situation - and not many would be able to avoid taking sacks like he has.
Against that, he is getting old - Father Time is not on his side. But I certainly hope the Falcons pick two linemen in the first 3-4 rounds of the draft and/or find a key free agent lynchpin up front.
You know, if the play clock hits zero and THEN the QB calls TO, it should not be a time out. It should be a delay of game.
Unequivocally no. There are a lot of backups who are worse. In fact, Carolina has 3 QBs on their team who are worse than Mullens.
That was one of the weirdest post-INT reactions while the play was still alive I've ever seen. It's like he thought there were 30 seconds left on the clock and the Raiders had no timeouts left.
It looked like he read the safeties biting up, but missed that the CB was in great position. At best, he might have gotten an interference penalty.
He always seemed to play well subbing for Jimmy, but his W/L record with the 9ers was 5-11.
