Rookie Year Tua vs 3rd Year Herbert's stats through nine games are a reminder that situation matters so much when evaluating QBs.

​

Tua - Rookie Year	Herbert - Year 3
14 TD - 5 Int	14 TD - 6 Int
6-3 record	5-4 record
6.3 yards per attempt	6.3 yards per attempt
64.1% completion	65.8% completion

When Herbert walked into Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler and Tua had Davante Parker, Preston Williams and Myles Gaskin Dolphins fans had to hear about it all year.

Now Tua has the weapons and fringe MVP season while Herbert is throwing to Josh Palmer and his numbers look a lot closer to rookie Tua. The truth is situation matters so much when evaluating QBs and it was probably never fair to bury Tua or fit Herbert for his HoF jacket before this year.
