"This is my major problem with Tua. He hasn't shown anything special in a couple of years. To drill down further, Tua hasn't been magical since midway through 2023. Let's be clear here: this isn't about the money or Tua's lack of mobility, and this isn't personal. This is about being a top-notch NFL quarterback. It's about meeting expectations regardless of your salary, where you were drafted or your physical skills. This is about making magic happen."
"There's the rub. You know the stat I always cite: in the 2023-24 seasons, Tua was 2-10 vs. playoff teams with 15 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and an 84.8 passer rating. By comparison, over that same span Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen is 10-6 with 27 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 99.1 passer rating. I don't blame Tua solely for those stats. I still maintain you can win a Super Bowl with Tua."
Tua Tagovailoa has lacked standout play since mid-2023, failing to produce the consistent magic expected of a top NFL quarterback. Over 2023-24 he was 2-10 versus playoff teams with 15 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and an 84.8 passer rating, while Josh Allen went 10-6 with 27 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 99.1 rating. The Dolphins' playoff aspirations place primary responsibility on the quarterback to elevate performance. Injuries to Tua, the offensive line and Tyreek Hill are factors, but expectations remain unchanged. Coach Mike McDaniel emphasized that players must accept game stakes and perform accordingly.
