The Dolphins don’t want to pay Tua 55 Mil.

Yet, TLaw is sitting pretty at that number.

Tua has out performed TLaw imo.

The market is the market.

I get it but Trevor Lawrence is no where near as injury prone.

Tua is one bad pass away from being a crippled.

I wouldn't either.

He's one concussion away from never playing again and when he does play, he's not exactly dominating teams.

Then how is Burrow at the same number with more games missed than Tua?

Has he though? Switch their teams and TLaw wins a playoff game, maybe 2. Tua probably doesn’t eclipse .500 with the Jags roster

The Jaguars were predicted to win 10 games last season.

Tua’s rating was 10 higher in 22 and 15 higher in 23.

Maybe the fact that he won the AFC and played for it in the last 3 years.

Burrow brought the Bengals to a Super Bowl and his injuries aren’t as career threatening.

Burrow had a 91 rating at the time of his injury.

Burrows injuries are not equal to Tua. Tua has head injury that is very probable to end career early.

One is a top10 QB when healthy, and the other is a top3 QB when healthy. Burrow has more risk to miss games with that OL, but higher reward when he plays. Tua may miss less, but is one concussion away from being Aikmaned, and when he is healthy is top10, but not on Burrow's level.

I'm all for Tua getting his money, and I understand why he wants that amount, one is that it is the market value and two, he knows he's one hit away from never playing again so he wants to be financially set.

But I see the Dolphins side.

Tua was an mvp candidate mid season last year.

He’s very good when healthy.

No. His explanation was that Tua was injury prone thus why he doesn’t deserve the money.

It doesn’t matter to the Bengals.

Why do facts bother you so much?

His argument is that Tua's injury history is awful compared to the one that Burrow had.

Here's Tua's injury history:

quote:


— March 2018: During a spring practice before his first full season as Alabama's starter, Tagovailoa hits a lineman's helmet while throwing a pass and suffers a broken left index finger. The injury requires a quick surgery, but he misses no practice time.

— October 2018: Tagovailoa tweaks his knee during a win over Missouri. It's later revealed that he suffered a knee sprain, but he misses no time and is back in the lineup the following week against Tennessee.

— November 2018: During a late-season game against Mississippi State, Tagovailoa in the third quarter takes a hit to his left quad, the same leg of his knee injury a month prior. He sits out the rest of the game, an Alabama win, and returns the following week against The Citadel.

— December 2018: In the fourth quarter of the SEC championship game against Georgia, Alabama left tackle Jonah Williams accidentally steps on Tagovailoa's right ankle and causes an injury. Tagovailoa sits out the rest of the game and eventually has a tightrope procedure performed on his ankle so he can return for the College Football Playoff.

— October 2019: Tagovailoa suffers another right ankle injury, this time a high ankle sprain during a win over Tennessee. He again opts to undergo a tightrope procedure for a quick recovery. He misses one game (a win over Arkansas) before returning to start in Alabama's loss to LSU.

— November 2019: Toward the end of the first half of a blowout win against Mississippi State, Tagovailoa suffers the nasty hip injury that prematurely ends his college career.

— November 2020: Despite having a fairly clean rookie season, Tagovailoa suffers a thumb injury in practice. Thankfully, though, it should only keep him out a single game, a Week 12 matchup vs. the Jets.

— September 2021: Tagovailoa gets through his rookie season relatively scot-free, but in a Week 2 game vs. the Bills, the Dolphins QB is carted off after a rough hit. He would later be placed on IR with rib fractures.

— November 2021: Somewhat out of nowhere, Tagovailoa now has a fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand. He misses the Week 9 matchup vs. the Texans.

— November 2021: There's some question as to whether Tagovailoa will play vs. the Ravens in a Week 10 "Thursday Night Football" matchup.

— September 2022: In the Dolphins' Week 3 matchup vs. the Bills, Tagovailoa suffers a back injury, though the team first indicated it was a head injury. He would clear concussion protocol and return to the field in the same game, under questionable circumstances.

— September 2022: In a Week 4 "Thursday Night Football" matchup vs. the Bengals, Tagovailoa is slammed hard to the ground and suffers another apparent head injury; the passer went rigid after being slammed to the ground, and was placed on a backboard and carted off.

— December 2022: Tagovailoa suffers his third concussion of the 2022 season after hitting the back of his head on the turf late in the first half vs. the Packers in Week 16. Tagovailoa is not removed from the game, in which he throws three second-half interceptions. He is only confirmed to have a concussion following the game.

Tua’s been more available to his team than Burrow has. Facts.

He’s played in one more game than Burrow without the high end production.

Awesome.

By one game

With one less game, Burrow has 16 more touchdowns, the same amount of ints, a higher completion percentage, 2000 more yards, and as mentioned, a SB appearance.
