Do the Dolphins Need to Move on from Tua Tagovailoa?

In the high-stakes world of the NFL, teams constantly face tough decisions, especially regarding the quarterback position.

Let’s look at the talent surrounding Tua. He had the fortune of teaming up with Tyreek Hill, who put up historic numbers this season, and Jaylen Waddle, who continued to impress with his dynamic play. Not to forget Raheem Mostert, who had a franchise-record 18 rushing touchdowns, and even De’Von Achane, who had a standout rookie season. This ensemble of skill position players was nothing short of remarkable, and it’s essential to factor this in when assessing Tua’s performance.

Now, don’t get me wrong, Tua is a solid quarterback. However, much of his success can be attributed to Mike McDaniel and the rest of the coaching staff, who have played a pivotal role in harnessing his potential and the talent around him. But the question remains – is Tua the right fit for the Dolphins moving forward?
