Tua top red zone QB last season

[fin007]

NFL analyst Warren Sharp brought one of those topics to light on Thursday, as he referenced Tua Tagovailoa’s success in the red zone. He gave us a list of the league’s top-10 red zone quarterbacks based on success rate, and Tagovailoa’s position on the list might be surprising to some.

We didn’t have a lot of trips but that’s a great list to lead!

Surprising to me

Yes but Justin Herbert clearly has a stronger arm…

Being the top red zone QB is nice. But, when all is said and done, it didn't mean much overall for the Miami offense last season, because due to their lack of an o-line and running game and their dink-and-dunk passing game, they rarely made it to the red zone. Hopefully this year will be different, and they can be one of the top scoring offenses!

He was good in the RZ his rookie year too. It's between the 20s is the thing for him...

Interesting stat. This time of year hope springs eternal.

How is that relevant in red zone situations? Or are you just trying to promote an old tired argument?

He's a smart player, and a quick study... At this point, I think that Tua has got about as much out of our offense as it was possible to get. The additions that we've made will tell us if he can win against good teams when he has help. A stat like this indicates that the answer may be 'yes'.

These are the jokes, people…

Can the kid have ONE MOMENT. Before posters attempt to take it away?

This is a very positive trait, nothing but positivity here

I think it was satire

Bottom line, Tua has done well with the situation given to him. Dont know why people call him a bust, i can see if he had a stacked team or even a mediocre team, then maybe people can truly say he cant cut it as an NFL QB. Otherwise, we will see what he can do with Talent around him, moreover with Reps with his new weapons, coordinators, and OL.

My negativity was directed toward the overall offense.
