    Brian Flores was even worse than we as Dolphins fans even knew. If you dont like Tua as a person, something is wrong with YOU.
  • @louie5237
    What a guy Tua is. He’s overcome so much in his short NFL career and still remains humble and positive
  • @donaldhenry5607
    Proud of the man Tua is becoming. Prayers to many healthy seasons doing what you do best🙏
  • @Tuaman1MD
    Proud Pacific Islander here of Tongan descent and a big Tua fan and I am so dam proud of Tua how he represents our small pacific nations culture and up bringing.. His parents and grandparents raised him right and I wish him nothing but the best because he is a true inspiration to all the poly kids and any kid looking for a good role model. Let’s go Tua QB1
  • I'm a lifelong Dolphins fan. I don't care if Tua can throw the ball 70 yards. He's smart, processes fast, has the best footwork of any QB, he's super accurate, AND he's a cool ass human being. So unselfish, perfect fit for a coach like Mike McDaniel. Love this guy.
  • @KyleN456
    Praying that Tua stays healthy not just for the rest of this year, but for years to come. I want this guy to win so bad, just an amazing guy who's been through so much. Tua I love you brother. The modern day Steve Young.
  • @BentleyVB
    Tua - the best QB we’ve seen in Miami since Marino . We love you bro.
  • @j_incognito6716
    I want everyone here to think hard about the strength it took that man to open up the way he did in front of the world. He is a very private person. Think about how vulnerable he allowed himself to become. That kind of strength you don’t find in any leaders like him. Especially at his position and especially knowing how much he is criticized and slandered in the media and social media. None of you would have the balls to do that. This is a man made of iron. Fearless. A man conpletely comfortable with who he is. That is a dangerous man. A fearless competitor. A lion who is going to set the league on fire for many years to come. We have the cheetah and the Lion.
  • @halcop
    This what I love about Tua and Mike McDaniel. It's not just player or coach speak. It's honesty and appreciation for what you have done. Tua cherishes the things he has worked hard to get. I'm glad he's our QB1.
  • Tua is the singular reason I am still watching football these days. I love his play but more I love his faith. I also respect his journey. THe Debbie Downers can just go away or be quiet at this point for me. What you say is unimportant.
  • @PeeDeePalms
    What a great interview! Tua is such a class act. He has grown and improved as a quarterback by leaps and bounds. Now let's win the Division, AFC and then the Lombardi! 😊🙏
  • @Omnis2
    Tua is staring at the camera like he's looking into the soul of every broken Dolphins fan that has been suffering for the past 30 years.
  • @brandong4975
    Tua would never say these comments are directed at Brian Flores, but he doesn't have to. A big part of being a good leader is creating individual connections with your people and understanding when you're pressing too hard and when someone can handle being pushed more. I hope Flores looks back at this and realizes he could have handled things better. McDaniels is putting on a master class on how to get the best out of someone.
  • @ImRoguee
    you can really see how Flores has really affected Tua. Thank God Mike came in to show Tua that it's ok to be yourself and not have to be serious 24/7
  • @sleddi98
    I’m proud of this guy. 25 years young and has a good grasp on life. Not easy being a leader in the spotlight. Hopefully he has a long career on and off the field ✌️
  • @citrusfc474
    What a man Tua has become. Very proud of my QB1.
  • @shawnwilson1514
    Tua is the man! What a great humble guy! Glad he's playing for the dolphins and killing it!
  • @Vegas_man
    I predict that Tua's journey is not over until he takes the team to the big dance. It will happen and it will be a Cinderella story that will be memorialized in a movie one day.
  • @jasoncox9883
    Thats my QB! He has a story a lot of athletes need to here. This man has seen it all from depths to the peaks. Never lost himself ir his fauth.
