"There's no doubt Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is having his worst season under coach Mike McDaniel, and that's with him being healthy all season - at least in terms of not having to miss games. Sunday's game against the Saints was just awful from him: 12 of 23 for 157 yards, an interception, another throw that maybe should've been called a pick on review and four sacks."
"He missed throws he usually makes, even this year as his play has diminished. He made poor decisions, like throwing deep to Jaylen Waddle in the end zone on first down with Kool-Aid McKinstry waiting for the interception. And then you have his slide short of a pivotal first-down conversion on third down that leads to fourth-and-1 and a turnover on downs before New Orleans nearly pulled off the epic comeback."
Tua Tagovailoa delivered his worst season under coach Mike McDaniel despite remaining available for all games. Multiple performances declined, exemplified by a poor showing against the Saints: 12-of-23 for 157 yards, an interception, another potential interception and four sacks. Accuracy and mechanics regressed, deep balls and middle-of-field timing diminished, and key situational plays were mishandled, including a short slide that cost a third-down conversion. Contributing factors include the contract-extension moment, loss of top receiver Tyreek Hill, prolonged absence of Darren Waller, and broader personnel changes that reduced playmaking around him.
