Good morning. Here's the 93-yard drive by Tua and the Dolphins yesterday to tie the game at 31, in all its condensed glory.
Tua was 5/5 for 53 yards with an additional 23 yards on the ground.

Twitter: "Tyreek Hill is going to be wasted going from a QB who throws deep to a QB who doesn't."
Reality: Tua's average completion traveled 5.1 yards in the air. Mahomes' was 4.8 yards.
Hill's average depth of completion was lower than D Parker & M Gesicki.

Here is the list of rookie QBs in NFL history whose teams won at least 4 of their first 5 starts while posting a passer rating of at least 95:
Dan Marino

Did we do this with Patrick Mahomes when he had Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce?
Or do we only do this with Tua?
Good lord, man.
The Tua MVP conversation is going to be complicated. How good do his stats have to be to counterbalance the quality of the scheme and having Tyreek Hill? I mean, Tua's not the one out there averaging 8.0 yards per carry on the ground today...

Chris Grier has used a 1st round pick, two 2nd round picks, and a 3rd round pick over the past 3 drafts on OL. Still, the Dolphins have one of the worst OLs in the NFL. And yet, Grier manages to keep his job. That's amazing. Seriously. Hard to be that inept for such a long time.

The Dolphins are the worst "win and get in" team in recent memory. Nothing but 30-point losses the last two years in these late season situations.

If the Dolphins are going to remain committed to Tua Tagovailoa, then Brian Daboll should be at the top of Miami's list of potential head coaches.

75

Tua Tagovailoa had just the 44th game in NFL history completing 80% of his passes for 290+ yards and 4 touchdowns. He's the 26th quarterback ever to do so.
But only one other quarterback suffered a loss when posting these numbers. Ironically, it was Matt Ryan.

You guys remember when the Dolphins offense was good?

My best guesses here on January 20.
1) Deshaun Watson remains with the Houston Texans.
2) DeVonta Smith ends up a member of the Miami Dolphins.

You cannot convince me that the Dolphins are not a cursed franchise.

DeVonta Smith looks good scoring touchdowns in Hard Rock Stadium. Wonder what
@Tua
thinks.

744
So let's sum up what
@danorlovsky7
said this morning. The Dolphins must:
1) Get better OL play
2) Improve skill position talent
3) Run an offensive scheme that is from the 21st century and accentuates the QB's strengths
Hard to disagree with any of that. 🎯🎯

Jacoby Brissett in Cleveland looks like an entirely different (and competent) quarterback than the version we saw in Miami.
Just how bad was that Dolphins coaching staff that Brian Flores assembled?
75
52
722
Tua has not been as sharp as he normally is. And yet he is completing over 75% of his passes for over 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Broadcast noted Tua is the first QB to go over 300 yards passing all season vs the Raiders.
17
60
721
So the quarterback wasn't good today and yet he threw two touchdowns and the offense scored 31 points.
And the team that was once 1-7 is now 7-7.
Why are some Dolphins fans acting like today was a bad day?
74

I'm old enough to remember when Jets HC Robert Saleh said, "We've played a gauntlet of quarterbacks. And I know we haven't gotten all wins, but we've embarrassed all of them."

Xavien Howard wants to remain in Miami. The Dolphins want Howard to remain in Miami.
This really shouldn't be as difficult as both parties are making it out to be.

Did you know that Tua Tagovailoa led the NFL in passer rating when the game is within one score in the 2nd half?
Tua was 41/51 for 410 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. His passer rating was 126.3. His successful play rate was also the best in the NFL -- 67%.
29

So we are talking about how Patrick Mahomes could have used a legit third weapon to go with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce. And yet Dolphins fans and media expected Tua Tagovailoa to look like a stud QB throwing to a hobbled DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki, and the XFL All Stars. 🙄
It feels crazy to say with Tyreek and Kelce, but they badly needed a legit third weapon all season long

The Dolphins were 7-6 last year with a shot at playoffs and I watched them lose their final 3 games by an average of 20 points.
The Dolphins were 4-2 in 2017 and lost 40-0 to the Ravens.
So fans and media alike can spare me their bullshit. Today wasn't that bad.

A "successful play" is defined as a play that gains at least 40% of yards-to-go on 1st down, 60% on 2nd down and 100% of yards-to-go on 3rd or 4th down.
Here are the top 6 from 2021:
1. Mahomes
2. Stafford
3. Prescott
4. Brady
5. Herbert
6. Tagovailoa

The Dolphins have started 3-0 seven times since 1995, including last season.
They are 8-20 combined in the four games that immediately follow their 3-0 starts.
If the Dolphins want to prove this 2023 team is different, it all starts on Sunday in Buffalo.

What if the Dolphins didn't spend huge draft capital on Deshaun Watson and instead spent huge draft capital on a premier offensive tackle? The Dolphins clearly can't draft and develop offensive linemen. So go entice a team with a package they can't turn down and get a stud OT.

If the Dolphins ultimately end up swapping out Brian Flores for Vance Joseph as head coach, this will be one of the most colossal blunders in franchise history.

The Dolphins won 10 games just one year after a complete teardown and their "unethical tanking" -- and they have 4 draft picks in the top 50, including the third overall pick, plus tons of cap space.
It's all going to be okay.

Somebody tell Chris Grier that "hope" isn't a plan. Hoping the NFL's worst group of starting offensive tackles get better in 2022 is not a plan.
It's negligence. It's unceasing ineptitude. It's a recipe for continued mediocrity at best and failure at worst.
So is there a plan?

Fans of 3-7 Dolphins pointing to their upcoming schedule (Jets, Panthers, Giants, Jets) and talking about how they will be 7-7 probably don't realize that the fans of these other teams are pointing at the Dolphins and marking a W down for their team.

I honestly can't remember being less excited for a

Justin Herbert is a good quarterback.
The Dolphins made the right pick when they selected Tua Tagovailoa over Herbert as their QB.
These two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
26
31
507
The Dolphins are missing the boat here by only making a small change to the offensive line.
Liam Eichenberg should be the left tackle and Robert Hunt should be the right tackle. Start there and figure the rest out.
It's borderline coaching malpractice to not make these changes.
57
45
502
A reminder that Tua Tagovailoa just completed his 24th career start -- essentially, he's just 1.5 seasons into his NFL career.
So instead of waiting for his "inevitable regression," as some are saying, maybe we should consider that this is just the start of what he will become.

So now Tua Tagovailoa can play out the rest of the season knowing his team's owner spent Monday night talking with his possible replacement.

The Patriots have a very good defense. And the Dolphins posted 389 total yards on them, including 145 on the ground.

It's so easy to lose sight of the forest for the trees. Dolphins fans have been so obsessed with finding that franchise QB (I'm as guilty as anyone) that we are not appreciating enough what Brian Flores and the 2020 Miami Dolphins are accomplishing.

Back in week 2 when the Dolphins played the Bills, Byron Jones played 4 snaps before getting hurt. Also, Andrew Van Ginkel & Zach Sieler only played 16 snaps while Noah Igbinoghene struggled playing 93% of the snaps.

Calvin Ridley is an interesting trade possibility for the Dolphins. He's from the area and was obviously Tua's teammate at Alabama in 2017.

One year ago, the Dolphins selected Tua Tagovailoa as their franchise quarterback.

So Xavien Howard just had arguably the greatest season by a cornerback in NFL history. And he got 3 votes for Defensive Player of the Year.
The Associated Press voters should be ashamed.
Even as teams pass more, because INT rates have dropped so significantly, it means the number of INTs per game has dropped noticeably.
Which is why Xavien Howard and J.C. Jackson just produced 2 of the most impressive INT seasons ever
