PFF's five highest-graded Miami Dolphins at the bye week

There’s definitely an argument for a few snubs.

5. QB Tua Tagovailoa - 78.8​

No other player has encapsulated the craziness of the season quite like Tagovailoa. He suffered two injuries that cost him five starts, where the Dolphins lost four of those starts, and the only win came against Baltimore where Tagovailoa came in during the second half for the injured Jacoby Brissett.


On the season, the 23-year-old has thrown for 1,945 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions with a 96.1 passer rating and completing 70.9% of his passes.


Tagovailoa’s numbers don’t jump off the page, but he’s doing everything his coaches ask of him, and he’s leading the offense effeciently.

I still can't believe a flag wasn't thrown on the play Tua got hurt.

That entire stadium would have been filled with flags if Tom Brady had been hit like that.

I don't understand why young quarterbacks have to earn protection. But I think we'll start seeing Tua get that protection from officials as he continues to move up that quarterback list.

Teams know, coming into a game, that they can't hit Brady. When Tua gets to that point, the durability issue may not be as much of a concern.

Football is a collision sport.

We needed to block better. End of story.

Very true. But when you watch Brady and other elite quarterbacks, it's pretty obvious that opposing teams know they can't hit them the same way. Unless they are okay getting a flag or two.

As an aside, early in Brady's career if a team hit him early it would take him awhile to get in a rhythm. Jason Taylor always seemed to be able to make his presence felt early.

Interesting that 4 out of the 5 are defense. Organization not standing by TUA or helping enough except for waddle. Thats it

The offense has Tua, Waddle, and Gesicki and their part time player Parker. They have the 32nd ranked OL and their RB’s are rated near the bottom. So the fact defensive players are rated higher isn’t surprising at all.

They are trying with all of the OL selected. Just not working for whatever reason. Will Fuller was a big swing and miss. Point is they have taken okayed on O - except RB though they tried J Howard and Breida last year.

“Part time player” - that’s funny 😄
