This article was originally written for The Left Arm of God website on February 23rd, 2021, a short time after Tua Tagovailoa completed his rookie campaign. I tried to dissect the reasons why Miami’s QB1 was receiving so much backlash and hate despite leading his team to a winning record that year while recovering from a devastating hip injury. While Tua now has two professional season’s under his belt, his critics haven’t been silenced as of yet - and Tua admittedly hasn’t done quite enough to silence those doubters. Regardless, I am of the opinion that a lot of the hate spewed Tagovailoa’s way is a little over-the-top.
Why does Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa get so much hate?
