He was healthy all year.....but yeah, they are betting on him staying that way & if he turns to glass again they are screwed.I take Purdy or Love over made from glass Tua..

If the $167 mill guaranteed part is true, that's 3 full years of guaranteed money basically. I don't foresee him playing 12 years. Probably 8-10. Same with Penix once he starts, 8-10 years. Similar to Cam, as that's how long he lasted as a productive QB til the injuries took their toll on him.I mean, they had to pay him but him being healthy is the key here.
If he can stay healthy he will be a force. Miami got hit with so many injuries towards the end of last season and ironically Tua was healthy.
I'd definitely take Love over Tua, not sure about Purdy yet, but he could be successful in Miami. But thats a lot of money for Tua.I take Purdy or Love over made from glass Tua..

The thing is now, teams can't really play hardball with their QB, like Balt and Lamar went through. If the QB sits out or stays away from camp, your team falls behind and really has virtually no chance to win. Thus, drafting a QB every 2-3 years is probably the best chance you have to gain some sort of leverage.I'd definitely take Love over Tua, not sure about Purdy yet, but he could be successful in Miami.

Not much room for back up money now.The thing is now, teams can't really play hardball with their QB, like Balt and Lamar went through.

GB only has young unproven guys at QB. Eason, Clifford, Pratt. They gave Love all of the leverage with that QB room.
Miami has Mike White and Skyler Thompson on the roster.
Jax has Mac Jones and Beathard. Easily the best of the trio who just got paid.
Dallas has Rush and Lance. Lance will be a free agent at the end of this season as his 5th year option for $20 mill was not picked up, but he wouldn't command that kind of money as a free agent anyways. Dak isn't going to hold out because he will become a free agent after the season as Dallas can't tag him.
SF has Dobbs, Brandon Allen, and Mordecai. Can get through the season, but no one with the potential to challenge Purdy.
