With a potential contract extension looming for Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this offseason, The Ringer’s Ben Solak takes a look at his recent play and identifies some weaknesses in his game after a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills. Mike McDaniel’s offensive system has been a boon to Tua’s game, but how should we evaluate his skill set as a QB after this season, and how much cap room does he deserve moving forward?

THE RINGER: What Do We Do With Tua Tagovailoa?
Brilliant analysis. I had a nice comment on this video and Tua but the website crashed and erased everything I wrote. I believe Tua has hit his ceiling and will never be a franchise QB to make a long story short.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. TUA WAS NEVER A GOOD DRAFT AND HE HAS NEVER PERFORM AS A REAL ELITE, FRANCHISE QB. HE DO NOT HAVE THE TOOLS: NO MOVILITY, NO SIZE, NO STRENGHT, NO ARM, FRAGILE, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSET: NO AVAILABILITY. THE BRASS ARE HIDDEN THE BIG MISTAKE OF PASS IN HERBERT AND PROBABLY THAT IS THE REASON WHY FLORES WAS LET GO.
Fragile? He was one of the few QBs to start every game this season. I don’t know if Tua is the answer, but McDaniel deserves some of the blame for some really piss poor play calling the past few games. I think he began to believe his hype.
I sure hope they don’t break the back to keep Tua. I like the guy, but he’s not elite and never will be3.
