It was a rough week for Tua Tagovailoa in the media. Strangely, following a season opening Miami Dolphins win in which he completed 67% of his passes for 270 yards and a touchdown to take down the New England Patriots, the trolls were out in full force.
Former journeyman QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was tabbed as Tua’s veteran mentor for his rookie year in Miami, made some headlines when he said on “Pardon My Take” that Tua is limited athletically, then Sean Payton went a bit further:
“I think at some point we’ll see (another QB starting) in Miami,” he said, before alluding to Tagovailoa’s backup.
