Dave Hyde: The Dolphins need a hero - and it has to be Tua
"He has sounded equally off-key off the field. After the opening loss to Indianapolis, he stressed, "I'm going to watch who's in to watch video." After the Buffalo loss, he insisted he'd throw that same game-ending pass right at a Buffalo linebacker for an interception, "10 out of 10 times." Even this week, when he properly said he had to play better, it was lost in the national brush-fire he started by turning on some common criticism from former NFL quarterback Cam Newton."
""Well, anybody can come in and play quarterback in this league, then," he said. "I want to see anybody on the streets come and play quarterback. Cam is doing his thing for sure, but I think it's easier to be able to hold a clicker and talk about it that way or talk about what someone else is doing wrong when you're not going out and having to do the same as them.""
Tua Tagovailoa is the central reason the Miami Dolphins are 0-3, facing his worst stretch in six seasons with five turnovers and late-game catastrophes in opportunities requiring late touchdowns. He has made public remarks that drew criticism: after the Indianapolis loss he said, "I'm going to watch who's in to watch video," after the Buffalo loss he insisted he would throw the same game-ending pass "10 out of 10 times," and he pushed back at Cam Newton's criticism with a pointed response about armchair commentary. The season hinges on whether he can justify the franchise's investment and overcome perceived physical limitations.
