Colin Cowherd: āTua is going to start putting up big numbers as weāve predicted all off-season and youāre going to get fooled and suddenly think heās great. Congratulations for hitting a bunch of wide-open guys on broken coverage. Heās still small and not very athletic with an average deep arm. You suddenly now think heās tall and really athletic? This is so predictable. They give him an offensive coach, they get him Tyreek Hill, he already had Jaylen Waddle, they get him Cedrick Wilson, both the running backs look dynamic, they get him an All-Pro left tackle, and his numbers go up as we told you they would and everybody freaks out. Ask yourself, where does Tua rank in the AFC? Is he Josh Allen? Hell no. Herbert? No. Burrow, despite the 0-2 record? No. Patrick Mahomes? No. Lamar Jackson? NO. What is Tua great at? Size? Arm? Athletic ability? Heās accurate, so is Jimmy G. We saw it at Alabama and we saw it yesterday, he can hit wide-open fast guys. Heās a good kid, heās great at the podium, I really like him, heās taken a lot of crap, the Flores stuff was bad, Deshaun Watson rumorsā¦ Heās been a wonderful kid, and the Drew Brees comparison is silly, but thereās a little Drew Brees in which heās not going to be great over the top, but heāll be good at the line, heās a good guy, heāll accurately throw itā¦ Hell, Tua admitted last week āI canāt see over the line, Iām too small.ā He admitted it! I think heās a left-handed Mac Jones. Youāre going to talk yourself into him being Herbert, Lamar, Mahomes, and heās NOT. He can hit open guys with protection, thatās not his issue, but suddenly yesterday Iām on social and itās āOMG, TUA IS____āā¦ Small. āTUA IS____āā¦ Not that athletic. I can like something but not go gaga and fall in love with it. I like the story and for the next two years he's going to win a bunch of games, and this year heās into the playoffs, but the reaction is so predictable. Of course heās going to improve his numbers, they werenāt even terrible last year.ā (Full Video Above)
