DAVIE — Here’s a harsh new reality Miami Dolphins receivers must learn to live with as rookie Tua Tagovailoa continues as the team’s starting quarterback:
Most catches will be praised. Every costly drop will be overanalyzed packed with blame. Every ball thrown their way will be heavily scrutinized.
Look at receiver DeVante Parker, who caught Tagovailoa’s first career touchdown pass and is free from scrutiny after securing the catch in the narrowest of windows with a defender fouling him before the football even got within his grasp.
Or second-year Dolphins receiver Preston Williams, who had two drops that may have kept Tagovailoa from getting into a rhythm in first NFL start last week and might not have heard much praise for catching the first completion in that game.
