Dolphins' offensive coordinator says offense won't be limited vertically by Tua Tagovailoa

A little more from our OC.

"And then you just see his ability to process and his accuracy it's been really just impressive just from this short period of what he's able to take from one day to the next then to the next week. ... I mean, from a fundamental standpoint of playing the position from a leadership and communication standpoint, also associated with playing quarterback, everything has been extremely optimistic.”

MEH..... To be fair, that goes both ways. Should everything go south, I expect there would be excuses as well.

I find it best to keep some perspective, and not get too extreme in either direction.

I'd think it's obvious, but if the Owner, Front office, Coaches, etc thought he had any issue with limited vertical throws I doubt they'd be sticking with him and building around him the way we have.

I'm glad he has a lot of support now in the franchise, and I am also glad for the doubters because I think Tua is motivated by it, not intimidated by it.
 
I thought it was interesting. I was trying to see if there was anything “between the lines” or “damned by faint praise”. It seemed genuine enthusiasm. A caution of “so far” that seems reasonable for every QB that has a new OC and system.

This x1000

No TRUE Dolphins fans want to see him fail but you also have to be realistic. My opinion on this is known but I’m also giving him this year under a new staff with weapons and protection to see if he can become what we want. If he does then I’ll be the first here to eat my humble pie and be happy to do it.

This is not meant to start an argument so if anybody is going to start a Tua argument I will not respond.

That’s not what the armchair talent evaluators are saying on this forum. Hmmm…I wonder who I should trust.

I am one of the biggest Tua backers on this forum. While I believe he will prove all his doubters wrong next season. I have said all along that if I am wrong about him and he doesn’t show improvement next season, I will completely understand if McDaniel and Grier decide to go in another direction at the QB position after the 2022 season.

My issue with the Tua haters is they seem to want him to fail simply so they can come on here and claim they were right all along. To me, the haters aren’t really Dolphin fans but merely individuals that love failure more than success. That says a lot more about them than it does about Tua.

Something noteworthy about this is the organization very clearly, quickly, and publicly providing Tua support in the media. Unlike the garbage we heard last year like “Tua is our quarterback” and that’s it. Those types of comments last year only helped fuel the media fire that Tua was a bust and it never seemed like the organization cared at all.

Yeah Flo was terrible at communicating the message because he was Flo.

Wanted Watson but pretending he didn't.
