Tua Tagovailoa News
Miami Dolphins star cornerback Byron Jones said that the team expects a big leap from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in his sophomore season after he disappointed in his rookie year in 2020. "His contributions to the team have been great so far, but we're looking for even something better this year. It's exciting. I can't wait to see him work his magic," Jones said. Tagovailoa started nine games after being taken fifth overall in the draft, completing 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,814 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. The rookie was hesitant to throw into tight windows and was benched twice in favor of veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is now in Washington. Despite the ups and downs, Miami remains invested in the young QB and will ride or die with him in 2021. The 23-year-old is still a fine dynasty/keeper asset, but he'll be a low-end QB2 in redraft leagues.
Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be the team's starting QB in 2021. The fifth overall pick in this year's draft, Tagovailoa wasn't all that impressive in his rookie season. The 22-year-old was benched in the Week 16 loss to the Raiders and would've been the backup in Week 17 had veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick not contracted COVID-19. Tagovailoa threw for 361 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Bills in the regular season finale, but he also threw a season-high three interceptions. He finished with 1,814 yards on 290 pass attempts (6.3 yards per attempt) for 11 touchdowns and five picks. Tagovailoa also ran the ball 36 times for 109 yards and three scores in 10 games (nine starts). There's certainly room for improvement, but he'll be more of a QB2 with upside heading into his sophomore campaign.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was unable to finish out the 2020 season on a high note. It was a must-win game for the Dolphins in this Week 17 battle with the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa completed 35 of 58 passing attempts for 361 yards and one touchdown with three interception in the loss. It's tough to pin all the blame on Tagovailoa when he was surrounded by a mediocre cast. It'll be interesting to see if 1,814 passing yards with 11 passing touchdowns and five interceptions in nine games will be enough to earn him the keys to the castle. The Dolphins do hold a top-five draft pick, so maybe they bring in another quarterback to compete with Tagovailoa next season.
