Good lord,give the kid some time.Why are so many on here expert talent evaluators AFTER the fact.Not sure I heard anyone saying this about in '18 or '19.

BTW,I don't think Joe Montana or Ben Rothlesburger are knocking it out of the park when it comes to IQ

I don't think anyone, or at least anyone who watched Tua closely would recognize that he is a read option QB. Most honest Bama folks would tell you that. He's an accurate passer for sure, but he always had trouble with post snap reads, that was clearly exposed in the title game in '19. It's not new news, reality is that the criticisms got lost in the hype. I like the guy and wish him well, but he's got some work ahead of him to catch up.

Big Ben is truly one of the examples of talent with just enough intelligence to make it work. I'm a Steeler fan and can tell you all about Bens limitations.

You are way off with Montana and must not have been old enough to remember when he was playing. He was the GOAT before Brady and his IQ and football intelligence were exactly why. Hell, they called him "Joe Cool", because he was so good under pressure and could make the right read and decision almost all the time. Montana and Brady are straight out of the same mold.
