NFL Fans React To Tua Tagovailoa’s Performance Against Commanders
Here’s what NFL fans were saying about Tagovailoa:
@JoeRobbie_: “There are 3 things that are certain in life Death, taxes & McDaniel/Tua Delay of Game for absolutely no reason at all”
@EliesenDan: “Tua simply cannot improvise. If the play isn’t there, it game over.”
@steeevieb22: “He never steps up in the pocket due to height and injury risk. Its always turn his back on the play and try to sprint outside”
@HURTS2x: “Tua is the worst QB I’ve ever watched play football good lord”
Geoff Schwartz: “Tua just can’t move anymore.”
@xoriiyahh: “Tua literally has no awareness”
@JBaileyNFL: “If you watched an entire game of Tua Tagovailoa try to play quarterback, you may be entitled to financial compensation.”
@ljc7975: “Keep McDaniel and Tua in Spain.”
@soIoucity: “Waking up at 630 to watch Marcus Mariota vs tua is dedication.”
@EliteMarino: “Tua thought he was him again 💀💀”
Joe Schad: “Tua Tagovailoa has now been sacked three times That had happened only 1 time in previous 8 games”
@DiBiase_MDMH: “Tua Tagovailoa, show me who you are?”
@305UntilIDie: “Watching Tua try to do athletic things is so embarrassing lmao”
Barry Jackson: “This should be game where Dolphins score 30. Too often, there’s something exasperating that works to prevent that. Delay of game first series, missing open Dulcich (miscommunication?) on potential TD. We can all hope for a flawless Tua, but it’s clearly not realistic”
