If you can't admit to some of his great throws, you shouldn't nitpick all of the ones that aren't great. Difference in a couple yards on a ball 40 yards down field is something all quartbacks miss on.

I’m not tech savvy enough to do that so if someone wants to walk me thru how to do it, or I can give someone my login if they want to put it together.

Big year for Tua
www.sportingnews.com
Another major concern within the Dolphins organization is the status of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. If he suffers another injury this season, a rebuild could be on the horizon.
“Hate even saying it because nobody wants to see it, but another major injury for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa would likely ruin his career and send the Dolphins into a rebuild,” Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon wrote.
Tagovailoa is expected to be benched at some point during the season—whether due to injury or performance. While he has been the franchise’s quarterback since arriving in Miami, recent struggles and ongoing health concerns have shaken the team’s confidence in him. The Dolphins know the clock could be ticking on Tagovailoa’s time as their starter.
“What is interesting is that Miami may not have the same confidence they had in him two years ago. They could have created $19 million in cap room with a simple restructure, but opted not to do so, citing they didn't need the extra money,” Phin Phanatic’s Brian Miller wrote.
For now, Tagovailoa remains the starter—whether or not the belief in him is still strong. Once considered a prized young quarterback, he’s endured both injuries and inconsistency. This season feels like a pivotal one, with much left to prove.

The Dolphins may look to move on from someone who was once sought out as the guy of the franchise.

Another one missing the point, zucca said you could find an example of every QB underthrowing, so I posted one. I offered no support of Tua nor a criticism of Mahomes. Cool zinger though @lurking

I think he meant injury issues would be the reason he’s on the bench. Only time he’s been benched for performance was the Flores days so highly doubt that would start in year 4 under McD.

the way i read it, he was citing injury OR performance:
Tagovailoa is expected to be benched at some point during the season—whether due to injury or performance.
“Those types of performances won’t cut it if the Dolphins are going to get back into the playoffs for the third time in four years with Tagovailoa at the helm,” Kay wrote.
If that happens, the Dolphins would likely turn to one of their offseason additions: former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers. The former Texas standout could already have an edge.
“Ewers could follow in Brock Purdy’s footsteps by taking over for an injury-prone and underwhelming veteran after being a late-Day 3 pick,” Kay added.

Fair enough, just don’t think he’s being realistic on Tua getting benched for performance with McD. I remember a few years ago McDaniel mentioning that he would want Tua to play thru a rough game or patch of season so doubt it happens under his watch.

A bit about the "author" Hunter Cookston -
Hunter Cookston began his career as a sportswriter for the Marion Tribune, where he covered local high school football, basketball and baseball. His passion for sports started at the age of four when he played his first year of tee ball. Growing up in Tennessee, he developed a deep love for the Tennessee Volunteers and Atlanta Braves. Hunter is currently attending Tennessee Wesleyan University, where he is pursuing a BA in Sports Communications/Management.
We should definitely be concerned about what this guy has to say. Seriously, he played MF'ing tee ball guys. Don't get no better than that....

What he likes and what he gets off on his “I’m so much smarter than you” posts were he starts off acting neutral but anyone with half and brain and even Stevie Wonder can see where he is going with it.
Frankly it’s tiring and it’s insulting but the usual suspects fall for it, show up saying Tua sucks, OP then gleefully joins in and we have yet another 30 page Tua thread over a single pass that while still completed wasn’t perfect.
I’m pretty tired of his schtick now. He really needs to seek help for his Tua Derangement Syndrome, I’m not sure if he’s another one that Tua kicked sand into his eyes while he was at the beach.

Tua time!
I don’t see tua being benched for performance reasons. Not this year at least.
