Tua Tagovailoa seems to have the late game heroics gene

[TrinidadDolfan]

In his nine games started, Tua Tagovailoa had two with fourth-quarter comebacks, and both had game-winning drives. The teams played were the Arizona Cardinals and the New England Patriots, during week 9 and week 15.

The Cards game was won 34 to 31, Tua was 20 of 28 completions for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns. The crunch time scoring was done with Mack Hollins on an 11-yard pass to tie the game and a Jason Sanders 50 yard field goal to put it ahead.

Other scoring production came by Shaq Lawson, with a 36-yard fumble return that he also forced out and another Jason Sanders field goal, this one a whopping 56 yards, former running back Jordan Howard ran one in from two yards out, and Preston Williams with a 9-yard passing score

I knew he was good in the 2nd half but leading NFL in passer rating when the game is within one score in the 2nd half is very impressive.

…and doing so with an unstable group of WRs that could not separate is even more impressive.

Imagine a stronger, faster, experienced Tua, with the speedsters we have now?

and yet we will never know what Tua may have done against the Broncos after Flores pulled him. I know he wasnt playing well, But I was really wanting to see how he played in crunch time. That was one of the reasons why I disagreed with Flores benching Tua in those late games. Tua needed the NFL experience of close game crunch time. And he may have excelled in those moments. If Flores wanted Tua to start and get experience then he needs the FULL experience.

especially that New England game when he had Bowden, Ford, and Hollins at WR to go with Smythe and Shaheen at TE

I remember that, play prior he took a bad sack running in the wrong direction, Satan had a look of the devil. Tua regrouped and took charge for the game winner. Gawd, I want a winner at QB.

I'm so ready for this season. We're starved for a QB I get it. We get a QB we're a SB contender. Either we have our guy or we move on. I'd rather we have our guy. I'm pulling for Tua bigtime.

I think even Flores would agree with you if we were as bad as the Bengals… however, we made a deep run for playoff contention, so it was important to try and win EVERY game.

It can’t happen again this season and you can bet it won’t - last season we performed ahead of schedule so they had a unique balancing act to accomplish.

I have said it before.

When Tua is back there, and the OLine isn't getting its a$$ handed to them, I get that "we're never out of the game" "he's going to find a way to get the win" feeling.

I watched all of the replays/calls, looking for that noodle-arm I keep hearing about...couldn't find it.

Another made up myth.
