Interesting.
They could. It worked out really well for the Cardinals.
If they end up picking 2nd (Houston’s pick) they could take Justin Fields and flip Tua.
And if he does play well, they keep him and don't select a QB. That's the reason they made the switch. Either way, this is good news for the Bears. It's going to be one less team taking a QB or Tua may be available to trade for.I very much doubt this will happen, however.
Tua isn't a bum like rosen. He has his head on straight, rosen was a headcase from the moment he was drafted. He might not light the world on fire but I don't see him playing like rosen did. He'll have a solid rookie season.

The tweet is no longer available...
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports one of the reasons the Dolphins are starting Tua Tagovailoa over Ryan Fitzpatrick is so they can evaluate whether to draft a quarterback in 2021.
Coach Brian Flores has already tried to deflect this storyline, but Miami has Houston’s first and second round picks next spring. With the Texans headed for a bottom-five finish, it would put the Dolphins in position to draft another quarterback if they didn't believe Tagovailoa was the future. It is still highly unlikely this turns into a Cardinals situation where the Dolphins are one and done with Tua, but it is never too early to begin evaluating your first-round quarterback, especially if they entered the league with a serious hip injury on their résumé. Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, Ohio State’s Justin Fields, and North Dakota’s Trey Lance are considered the top quarterbacks in 2021's draft class.
Huge opportunity for the Bears if Tua is available at the end of the year.
Especially with the questions about Tua's health putting a dent in his value, there's a real possibility the Bears could have the assets to pull it off if they are willing to be aggressive
If he's on the market that means he isn't playing well. It means they want to draft fields, who, imo isn't as good a college prospect as Tua.
Do you really trust the bears to fix damaged goods, at the qb position?
YesLet’s say they take Fields, what could we give up to get Tua? Are y’all willing to part with this year’s 1st round pick?
