  1. Did u see Poup's reaction when Beasely said per PFN's QB plus ranking..Tua is only behind Lamar…Poup almost fainted.😂😂😂Kept on rubbing his face….😂😂

  2. “I don’t get fixated on numbers.” So you’re basing your opinion off of what? Eye test. Come on Poup, you don’t watch tape brother. Stop lying.

  3. So, while everyone is daydreaming on what ifs…what will the excuses be when they lose out? Apparently, you have the MVP @QB, so that clearly is not the reason. Fire everyone immediately S. Ross!

  4. Josh Allen and Justin Herbert played well yesterday but must be terrible QB's cause they both lost.
    Tua has not been the reason they lost. But he is one of the reasons our record is this tight not being available when clearly our backup plan was flawed

  5. I rarely disagree with Beasley but I absolutely don’t agree with him hailing Tua’s GB game as a great game surely based on the final box score numbers. The offense was inept until the end of the 3rd quarter until GB started giving up a lot bc they knew the game was over. He should not be crowned as an MVP based on that game. An MVP would have had us in that game. He’s also not an MVP bc he looks better in this offense than three practice squad QBs. That’s incompetence on the coach and front office to “prove” Tua’s value. This is exactly what they wanted people to think about Tua.

  6. Nice try Adam trying to convince Poupart of Tua's throws…Tua could throw a 500 yard pass and Poupart would find something wrong with it….Skyler will be the sacrificial lamb to save Grier/McDaniels job, playoffs or not

  7. Tua is a very good QB, considering the O line pass pro is bad and even the run blocking recently is bad. Very, very few QBs could do what he has done in that situation.

  8. Don't care…season's over. It was over week 2. Ross is not going to fire Grier. Same story every year. Been suffering since 1982. Don't think I'll see a Championship before I leave this earth. Playoffs??? What..? Why

  9. dont forget Tua's performance is with NO HELP from our Defense. DEAD LAST in SACKS AND TURNOVERS. Tua needs to be perfect with NO mistakes (which he as been doing) and with an average start potion around the 25 yard line.
    Our Defense has been a huge let down.

  10. The teams the Dolphins have beat have a combined record of 18-47. Stop with the playoff talk. They aren't running the table- and even if they would, they'll be soundly thumped in a wildcard game. Just stop already

  11. Poupart your getting old and hard headed because your opinionated which is hurting podcasts. You gave to much credit to Hill and not Tua in your earlier podcasts and as Hills play has been eliminated much of this year that proved you were wrong you have continued to attempt to cover up your mistake.

  12. MVP!!! Yeah, for team MVP. Not for the league at all. Look at the yards per throw that is why the completion percentage is high. We need to score more in the first half.

  13. 15 TD's and 1 INT is misleading because it's pretty hard to throw an INT on the 1,000 screen passes he throws. I'm still waiting for him to beat a winning team and win in the cold.

  14. Mr Poupart: your voice as featured within the most recent post game episode felt quite heavy on the 'Tua manages this particular offense very efficiently'. At one point you actually went as far as to correlate Tua's good play with the ease at which high numbers are produced via short air yardage throws, screen plays, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, I've not been the most staunch Tua-supporter myself. However, I've seen growth in his game this year and I think he's playing very well right now. I think your position on Tua undervalues his skill-set some. As a simple example (and I cannot believe more people haven't been talking about it), consider his throw on the winning score in overtime. Dude. That was a pro bowl throw: in traffic, very catchable, pocket shifting, when his team absolutely needed him to do so. Alain, that was no screen pass, Sir 😉

  15. The yr when tua had the highest passed rating with the most yards per throw Allen also said that stat was over blown because the wr are always wide open ….😂
