Hope all these people buying Tua jerseys aren't going to be wasting their money with his injury concerns.
Surprised fans would do this with Tua's history, but hey I guess lots of people never study up on players.
Kind of makes sense with how Stealer and Phin fans were trying so hard to force their own minds into a possible trade lol
Funny story about this. I work 2nd shift. I get to work on Draft Day. I see a co-worker who is a diehard Phinsfan. So I ask him, you think we'll take Burrow tonight?
His answer: (chuckling) Hell yeah the Bengals will take him. All that bullshit about all the Miami trade ups was pure shit. I told him we'll see.
After pick #5 he comes walking up with a pissed off look on his face and says we just took Tua. How long before Burrow is crippled behind that bullshit line you guys got?
My answer: I have to believe he'll do alright. At least we don't have Tua...
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...
...is Pittsburgh fans!!
SLIM--gone, but never forgotten...

See, this is why I come here. You're not getting this kind of content on a Steeler board, no sir.

Yeah, that seems a bit extreme. Regardless, good call. The orange jerseys are may favorite, despite all the shit they get.

You missed my point, but the important thing is that you tried.

Yes. What's so hard to understand? There is a fine line between being pumped about Burrow and laughing at other teams for having the stupidity to buy the jersey of their QB who isn't Burrow.

Who said anything about laughing at other fans? Nate was hoping the fans aren't wasting their money on an often injured player?

Seems like he's indicating that Dolphins fans should hold off on buying Tua's jersey because of his injury history and those who are buying it maybe aren't aware of his playing career.
Again, he's allowed to say whatever he likes but this but I got a bit of a bitter sort of laugh from the situation. Yes, Tua is outselling Burrow now but it's ok because Tua's sales are bolstered by uninformed masses possibly wasting their money. Like I said, it comes down to homerism. We are buying Burrow jerseys because Burrow is going to be awesome but Dolphins fans are buying Tua jerseys because they aren't football-smart enough to hold off to see if he survives a single season in the NFL first.
