But QBR is influenced (I'd say dictated) by ability to get throws off without being pressured/running for your life.  That was NOT Book.  Plus, I just don't think Tua has anything Book doesn't from a QB standpoint . . . other than he played behind a line that protected him a bit.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. You said Book was a "gamer" and that you expected NO to sweep its last two games. He played like a guy with physical limitations playing in his first NFL game. He indeed was under pressure; an important part of quarterbacking is throwing the ball away or checking down instead of taking a sack or throwing an interception. To say that there's no difference between him and Tua at this point in time is just wishful thinking. Book is the fourth choice quarterback on a 7-8 team, Tua is the starter on a team that has won its last seven games.

Hey, that's why I previously said "15 cents" about correct sports takes.

But your last sentence is the kind of superficial "analysis" that Shaw defenders use to prop up his coaching abilities.  Can you name the 7 teams Miami has beaten on this streak?  (Texans, Ravens, Jets, Panthers, Giants, Jets, Saints (down to fourth string QB).  Not exactly a Murderer's Row of the NFL.  They also averaged 22 points/game in those 7 wins - so Tua isn't exactly burning it up on the offensive side of the ball.  I don't think it's wishful thinking to believe that Book would fare just as well as Tua if he QBed the Dolphins.  Your belief to the contrary is equally "wishful thinking."  Regardless, we'll never know.

Impressive!  In one post you bring Shaw into a discussion that he bears no relationship to and double down on an argument that is and was fallacious from the get go.  Well done!
