Just looks like the Tua experiment is over. Miami is not close to making the playoffs. They are exploring their options. Not unusual for bad teams to to give hteir back-up a shot late in the year. 

Well, Tua is going to give Miami a piece-of-his-mind for doing this. I mean this a brain-dead move.

Tua is signed for 56.4mm for next year. I have a feeling he may need a bull horn to give Miami management a piece of his mind. I would be surprised if they did not cut him, assuming Tua does not take a pay cut. You cannot lock up that kind of money and get Tua production.  Miami OL is bad, but Tua is massively overpaid.

Thanks. I don't follow the NFL too closely and I don't understand. If they had a five-game winning streak before the Monday loss, why are they benching Tua? 

I see they are 6-8 and he has 20 TDS but 15 iNTS, so that's not good. Still, his rating is 88.5, which is 'above average.' 

Why are they benching him? 

To tank the rest of the season and give Ewers playing time to see if they need to draft another QB.

This is a brain-dead move and gonna have Tua seeing stars. Did Miami get their bell rung? If I was Tua, I would be spaced-out about this. Tua can't remember the last time this was done to someone. They need to get their head-on-straight.

You might be reading the whole situation wrong. They are firmly out of the playoffs and they need to figure out what the future holds for Ewers. This is a chance to find out. If this is what they are doing, they probably also told Tua this as well.

This is about tanking next year. They're already eliminated for this year.

If they cut Tua with a post 6/1 designation then he's a $99 million dead money hit over the next two years ($54 million in '26.)

If Ewers is even replacement-level in the final few games then you know you can roll into '26 with him and whatever you find in the FA market for cheap. 

Then go after another QB in the '27 draft unless Ewers shows promise.

This isn't brain surgery. Tua is gonna be a head-case. He'll have his head spinning 'cause of this. This is a huge blow-to-the-head for him. He may never get his head screwed on right after this.

Y'all partly right... it's about the head, true enough. But it's not Tua's head, it's the team's head. 

They're getting Ewers more familiarity with the 1's, and more-so them with him, so when they bring Sark in as the new HC, things will be easier on errybody.

So it’s gonna come full circle when they draft Arch #1 overall that season?

They get the Bengals at home then the Bucs at home. Two trash defenses (trash is being kind to Cincy - they are historically bad). Then @NE who plays good D but can be had. 

That is to say - favorable close for Quinnothy to show some stuff.

Watch a Miami game. He sucks bigtime. They were winning a bit with run game and defense but he’s not even a good game manager QB he takes bad sacks and turns the ball over. Hes getting franchise QB money too.

Tua has the 30th ranked QBR rating out of 33 quarterbacks listed on ESPN.

Passer rating is an "old school stat" that doesn't really mean much anymore.
