Given that Tua's brain is basically blancmange at this point, Miami didn't come into the season with an experienced backup, and that the 2nd string QB they do have will probably miss at least one game with an injury suffered in the loss to the Seahawks, it may be some time before that stat changes.

"He feels fine right now" is not a medical diagnosis

Dude is going to be a casualty on the field when he takes another one of those and never wakes up.

100%

Not to mention he's getting knocked cold from routine plays now... so its not just 'how he's feeling' or if he passes the protocol tests, he's obviously compromised on a neurological level.

As of right now, if you go by traditional passer rating Josh Allen leads the league.
Then Darnold and Carr

Baker is 4th.

Mahomes is 17th

Lol

"Tua's so fucked up right now that he forgot to go to the guy who's assessing how fucked up he is."
At the appointment time, Tua was observed entering a local Miami police department under the assumption he had to bail out Tyreek Hill.

Run defense on an agile QB like Lamar isn't Parsons' strength. He's going to get burned by that all day.
I don't watch Parsons play much, but I'm guessing his job on those plays was not to set the edge. Not sure if he was being overly aggressive and abandoning his responsibilities, or if he was supposed to pin ears back and go, for which Jackson made him look silly.

The Ravens had him in a no mans land for a bit....he couldn't pin his ears back and rush, because Lamar would burn him. Alsothe Cowboys were giving up big chunks of yards on the ground on 1st and 2nd down, so they never really got the Ravens into many third and longs for the pass rush to tee off on.

And as good as Parsons is, he's not really going to run-stop Lamar when he's playing like that...he going to be chasing him all day long.

Here's an interesting fact nugget:

The last Cowboys superbowl win was closer to the Vietnam War than it was to today.
Here's my personal interesting fact nugget for you:

American football wasn't really known about in the UK until the 80s.

In the early 80s there were only 3 TV channels in the UK. Then a new channel started, unsurprisingly called Channel 4. It had a budget of roughly £5.27 for all programming, so obviously it couldn't compete with the BBC or ITV for any of the established sports. The only way it could have any sports content at all was to try to promote something that was new to UK audiences.

The most successful of these "unknown" sports was the NFL. There was an explosion of interest in this strange sport, especially amongst younger viewers.

I was in my teens at the time. The first season that they covered was the year that the Chicago Bears ran rampant, with the 46 defense and Jim McMahon at QB. Everyone latched onto the Bears as their favourite team because of the hype around them.

Of course I was different to all those sheeple who just tagged onto the winning team, I was better than that! So when an exciting young QB called Dan Marino led the Miami Dolphins to hand the Bears their only loss of that season, I had my team. I've stuck with them ever since.

The year that I chose the Dolphins as my team? 1985.

The last time the Dolphins made it to the Super Bowl? Yep you guessed it, 1984 lol.
