Chris Simms seems to keep doubling down on stupid. His Tua Schtick is getting quite annoying. He does make one interesting point about Grier protecting his investment in Tua. Author of article makes the point I was trying to make, which I bolded. Do not bid against yourself, do not pay more than any other team would pay for him:
"His overarching point was that the Dolphins will end up overpaying Tagovailoa as the two sides work to strike up a long-term deal because Grier is doubling down on the selection.
I do agree with one point, in that the Dolphins shouldn’t feel a need to meet some outrageous number that no other team in the NFL would pay for Tagovailoa, essentially having the organization bid against itself.
Pay Tua what he’s truly worth, and that doesn’t mean he should become the league’s new highest-paid quarterback, which will make it more difficult to put the necessary pieces around him.
Beyond that, we all know Simms’ position on Tua, and he’s committed to bashing him every chance he gets. So we should know by now how to take his criticisms of him as a quarterback."
