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

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.

---

Is it the market value? Or is it the top of the market? Not being contentious, just genuinely curious how people perceive these QB contract renewals. Average QBs and their agents have been able to price insane premiums into their contracts due to organizations' fear of not having an average QB.

Sort of fascinating to watch play out until you look up and you're the guy paying Daniel Jones $40M a year. But muh cap % -- I get it, as fans we're told to view it from that perspective because it's more easily justifiable while we collude to bring down RB pay. Only to commit $40M/year or, in Tua's case, more to injury-riddled, average QBs.

It’s a legitimate question

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?
—-

Burrows big knee injury was because of an offensive linemen pushing a D linemen into his backside. Those missed games shouldn’t even count.

---

He’s had more high end production than Burrow and that’s a fact so

---

Tua doesn’t have the same individual numbers, nor team accomplishments.

What you stated is the opposite of a fact. It’s easily proven untrue

quote:

---

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

History of Joe Burrow injuries:

Aug 14, 2017, Ohio State, Hand Wrist Fracture, Burrow suffered a broken bone in his throwing hand during practice and had an operation to repair the fracture. He missed the start of the season

Jan 16, 2020, National Championship Game, Chest Rib Fracture, Burrow suffered torn rib cartilage near the end of the second quarter in the College Football Playoff national championship game in New Orleans.

Nov 22, 2020 NFL Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 Burrow suffered a torn left ACL, a torn left MCL, a partial tear to his PCL, and a partial tear to his meniscus, during Week 11's loss to Washington. He was placed on IR and was shut down for the 2020 season. That knee was shattered and had to have total reconstruction.

Dec 5, 2021, NFL Hand Finger Dislocation, Burrow suffered a dislocated pinkie finger in the Bengals' loss to the Chargers.

Jan 2, 2022, NFL Knee Strain Grade 1.
Feb 13, 2022, NFL Knee MCL Sprain Grade 2 Burrow suffered an MCL sprain in the final minutes of the Super Bowl.

Jul 27, 2023, NFL Leg Calf Strain.

Nov 16, 2023, NFL Hand Wrist Ligament Tear, Burrow left in the second quarter of Week 11 vs. the Ravens with a right wrist injury. He missed the remainder of the 2023 NFL season.

Joe Burrow has missed many more NFL games than Tua due to significant injury. He has had severe injuries that have twice cost him NFL seasons. There were 8 NFL QBs who didn't miss a game last season. Tua was one of them.

Tua’s had two top 5 seasons while Joe has had only one (and a top 10 season).

Y’all really can’t accept reality in Louisiana, no wonder you’re the worst state lol.

Ryan Tannehill led the league in 2019. He must be just as dominant as Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, etc.

---

First six games of 2019, the Titans scored 98 points with Mariota as the starting QB. Went 2-4.

Last 10 games of 2019, the Titans scored 304 points with Tannehill as the starting qb. Went 7-3.

Their offense improved by 2 touchdowns per game with Tannehill so yeah I’d say he was pretty dominant that year.

Btw, if Burrow is so elite then why did his back up come in and put up the exact same numbers as him? Actually the team scored more PPG with Browning (A guy who hadn’t thrown a regular season pass in his career and hadn’t started a game since college in 2018) than they did Burrow (25 ppg to 19).

You want to talk about team accomplishments then let’s tell the full story:

Tua’s record as a starter: 32-19
Burrow’s record: 29-22

Tua led the 2nd highest scoring offense in the league last year (29.2). Joe has never led an offense better than 7th.

This argument just ended with you legitimately comparing Ryan Tannehill to Joe Burrow

---

Tua led the 2nd highest scoring offense in the league last year (29.2). Joe has never led an offense better than 7th

And yet joe has still thrown for more touchdowns, performed better in the playoffs, etc. Team accomplishments help tua, and yet still his best statistical season isn't even in Joe's top 2.
