The Tua Tumble.

Expectations: The Weight That all Who Called By Promise Must Bear into Perfection.

Year To Year. The Scales That Measures The Prospective Performance Of highly Touted Quarterback Prospect Lunge in Leaps And Bounds And Once Said Prospect establishes A Benchmark For His Productivity, The Splinters Could Very well Clinch Him To a Bench. From the First Completion to the Next Play Call, then Further Forward, Curating The Chronograph I Managing The A Two Minute Offense. the Sequence is A Suite That is Set To Within The Boundaries of the Unforgiven Atmosphere Of The NFL. Those Leaps And Bounds. They Come with edges That Can Keep rookie Climber On Precipice of NFL Purgatory (The Practice Squad) where A Slip And Fall Could Have Him Tumbling into Turbulence. Tua Is enertring His Second Season, The Presumed Starter Of The Miami Dolphins. Tagavailoa Is Being Confronted By The Specter of Those expectations, That took Life oN The Very Play That Brought Him prominence.

It Is Second And twenty-six. The Stadium Is And The Crowd Is in A frenzy. It is Filled With Georgia Fans, The Frenzy Is Justified. Alabama Quarterback Tua Tagavailoa Is Lined Up In, Shot Gun, with the clock ticking And Its Over Time. What Comes Next is Known Simply As The Catch, What Happened Prior Was The Impetus. Dropping back In The Pocket with no receivers available, Tua, Heralded For His Cerebral Approach To Football Matters, Takes A Sack And It is Devastating. Bama Fans Are Stunned. The Tide Come Back, Lined Up In The Shotgun Once More. Then Tua Slangs That "Thang" To Devonta Smith Running A clear Post Route Up The Sideline. There, The Catch. Jettisoning Bama Into Another Title And Tua's Talent Into ForeFront Of Number One Pick Discussions, As A Freshman.

Fast Forward And It Is April 2021. Tua's First Foray As An NFL Quarterback Is Done. The Orchestrated Of What Is Known Now As The Catch Has Fallen Out Of The Hands Of Hopefuls.

Expectation. Miami Dolphins Cornerbacks Byron Jones Says He Expects A Jump From Tua. This Quote Was not On Behalf Of His Team, But it is axiomatic That Many In Miami Are Expecting A Leap From Tua. When He was Drafted Many In Miami where Expectations were a starter, Pro Bowler, Franchise. Those expectations are Now Play. Tua Picked UP The Reigns To The Dolphins Offense Late In The Season when tarter And Consistent Journey Man Ryan Fitzpatrick went Down With Injury And Tua Time Came. Replacing The Starter, Just As He Did At Bama, And Just like Bama entry To Bama His Performance Was A Mixed Bag.

In Tuscaloosa, Tua was Stationed At The Helm The Crimson Tide Offense Where He Transformed an anemic Rush First Offense Into Pass Centric Explosive, Vertical Stretch The Field Onslaught That we Witness Gashing The FBS Lat Year. Tua Took The Start Quarterback in Place From Jalen Hurts, Whether by design or demand. Hurts struggle To Move Alabama Passing Offense With Any efficiency. When Saban Installed Tua Has The Starter, The Hawaiin Lefty Used His Technical Prowess To Surgically Pick His Spots And Pick Apart The Crimson Tide Opponents. SEC opponents wrestled adjusting To This Transform Style Of Attack Fromm The Crimson tide And Once again The Tide Appeared, Indomitable. Tua Arm Talent Was Never Exceptional, Nor Was He The Greatest Of Athletes But He Pore Diagnosed Defenses Better Than Anyone In College Football In His Time And With His Stature Earn He Drew Bree's Comps All Throughout His Tenure. Nobody In the history of College Football Has had A better Passer efficiency Rating All time. Early In His Sophomore season With The Tide, Tua Split Offensive Reps With Junior, And incumbent Starter, who was Surprisingly Younger, Counter Part Jalen Hurts. This Offense was Tailored Under Lane Kiffin's Direction And followed By His Successors At Bama. Tua became Clear Curated forcing Bama To Move On From Their Former Hero, even If It Hurt, For The Hawaiian Hero. Hurts took off For Oklahoma And Tua Lead Bama To another Title Game. Then the Injuries Came. Tua Despite Being Built Compact With A sturdy Figure is A Fragile Football Player If a football Player Could Be Called Something Like That. His Injury History Could Make For A Chronicle Of The Human Anatomy. Ankles, Knees, Wrist, His Time In Crimson Overrun Nicks And Knacks Most Prominently, The Hip Injury Against LSU That ended His Junior Season And Tossed His Draft Stock Into Whirlwind. The Injury Infection has Always Been At The Nerve Endings When Diagnosis Tua. In Sec Championship Game In 2018 Against Georgia Tua Suffered An Ankle And Knee Injury Simultaneously, A Pair Of Wrist Injuries and His Body Collapsed Under its Weight When Jonah Williams Stepped On His Foot. His Injury History Rather Than His Capability As A Quarterback took The foreground AS The Greatest Contention Among Pundits. Still, The Promise If Tua Preserved And The Dolphins Took The Leap Of Faith Selecting Tua Number 5 Overall In 2020.

The Expectations.

Tua Is Currently Slated As The Day One Starter Now That Fitzpatrick Is Further Up The Eastern State Line In Washington D.C. With Five Games of Starter Production And Experience, Finishing with 1811 yards, 11 Touchdowns, 5 Interceptions, Going 20/28, and 248 Yards against extrapolating From Its Presumed That With Tua In Place A Push The Playoffs Could Be Possible. The Dolphins Finished After a 10-6 Finish, second In The AFC Tua Started The Last 5 of The Season And Lead The Team To 3 Straight Victories before Falling Short Against Buffalo Late In The Year When Tua Tossed 3 Interceptions. His Decision Making Was Questioned early On In His College Career But Considering His 89n to 11 Touchdown Ratio That Spec of His draft Evaluation was Considered Preposterous. Here In The League, The Unforgiven, Tua Is Not Nestled into the Treasure trove Of NFL Talent that inundated the halls of Bama To Assuage This Neglect Aspect Of His Quarterback evaluation, It has Reared Its Head. Another But Far More Pronounced Issue That Could Carry Would Tua Would Be Injuries. If Tua Failed To Hold Up In Tuscaloosa, A City Whose College Team is Perennially Considered to be one of Sub NFL-strata. How Much More Will He Fair Against NFL.

The Tua Tumble.

Despite His Glory, The Jactation There Are Experts Calling The Upcoming Season a make-Or-Break Year for Tua. At The End Of The League Trade Rumors For Deshaun Watson And Russell Wilson, Emerged And The Miami Dolphins Were Caught In The deep of It Dangling Tua and The Then 3rd Overall Pick As Bait To Lure One Those Franchise all {Pro Signal Caller Down To Florida With Some Perceiving The Trade Down From 3rd to 6th As A Sign Of Faith from The Dolphins Brass has Bestowed Upon. Consequently, Tua's Success With The Phin's Could Ultimately Be A Consequence Of The Line Of Thinking. All Reports Indicted That A New weapon To Compliments Devante Parker On The Outside May Be In Order And Another Devonta, Devonta Smith Could Possibly Reinvent The Magic Of The Catch In South Florida.

It is Inconceivable To Consider That a Quarterback So Greatly Heralded From The Moment He Step Into replace His competition is Now In Competition with Himself To Continue To Be called a Catch.
