Tua is a hard pass. He's Mr. Glass. He'll be lucky to make it past year three in the NFL.

Regarding Minshew holding onto it too long? Sure. At times he's waiting, wishing and hoping back there. A lot of QBs do this though.

He had some quick throws yesterday in a pinch. I think if they were smart. You fix your offensive line in 2020. You give Minshew a full season to prove it. If he flops?

You have yet another pair of first round picks in 2021 to get your QB. Could be looking at Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields or yet another fast riser like Joe Burrow who came out of nowhere this year. Which is true. Joe was just a guy for the Tigers last year.

Not good NFL starters. I'm not saying he can't fix this, but it is something he definitely MUST correct. 

I agree whole-heartedly about fixing the O-Line. That has to be done. 

I'm not as high on the 2021 QB class as most. Trevor Lawrence has a lot of work to do IMO and although Fields throws a pretty good deep ball, he is wildly inaccurate on his short passes for some reason. They go sailing over the heads of his pass catchers, he throws behind them or he leads them too far. It's just bizarre how much more accurate he is on deeper throws than he is on shorter passes. Jacob Eason holds the ball way too long as well and can't read pressure. He would rather take a sack than throwing the ball away and that drives me crazy. I'm hoping someone else from that class emerges. Maybe someone like Brock Purdy, Sam Ehlinger or Tanner Morgan. The one guy I have been especially intrigued by is USC freshman Kedon Slovis. That kid has a bright future.
