Tua Tagovailoa 2022 Outlook
The No. 1 question for the Dolphins' new coaching staff revolves around the development of Tagovailoa. "I think the system is going to be built and tailored to him," QBs coach Darrell Bevell said. "And bring out all the positives in his game." Bevell, who has worked with Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford and Trevor Lawrence in the past decade, noted that, unlike other positions, it's vital to construct the offense around what the quarterback does best, or the entire operation never gets off the ground. As NFL.com noted, Tagovailoa's strength is his accuracy, particularly in close quarters, and his ability to quickly get the ball out. The negative to Tua's game is the lack of arm strength that could hold back the offense, particularly down the field and deep outside the numbers, where he didn't target much in 2021. All that said, assuming the bulk of Mike McDaniel's offense compares to the Kyle Shanahan scheme, it should fit with what Tua does well, namely getting the ball to players in space and working defenses over the middle. In addition, the Dolphins' RPO game should be better in 2022 in the new system. And of course, we can't overlook a supporting cast that's now led by former Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill, acquired in an off-season trade, Jaylen Waddle and Mike Gesicki. With the scheme and pieces in place, rolling with Tua as a QB2 with upside is a fair approach.

Tua Tagovailoa 2021 Outlook
With the Dolphins' brass standing behind Tagovailoa, who only offered brief glimpses of playmaking ability as rookie, the Alabama product has exclusive control of the reins in Miami moving forward. The key in Year 2 is growth. Remember, Tua got off to a solid start and displayed his high upside in a Week 9 win at Arizona in just his second start. Unfortunately, the more he played, the more the rookie struggles took hold. Tua was benched twice late in games in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the difference between the offense when the veteran was in the game was stark. Tagovailoa believes getting a full offseason to focus on his craft instead of rehabbing will be a critical first step to that Year 2 improvement. "First off, this will be my first offseason," he said, noting last year he was rehabbing from a hip injury. "I can focus more on my footwork, my pocket presence, things like that." He owns talent; that much is unquestioned. After all, he hit on 64.1 percent of his throws, finished with more than twice as many TD passes (11) as interceptions (5) and ran for three scores. While the addition of former Alabama teammate Jaylen Waddle will help, Tua still isn't a viable front-line fantasy prospect at this point, but he may be just scratching the surface.

Tua Tagovailoa 2020 Outlook
Should the Dolphins slow-roll Tagovailoa during his rookie season or should he play as soon as he begins to perform as well as -- or better than -- Ryan Fitzpatrick in practice? That's the most important on-field question the Dolphins will face this season. While it's likely Fitzpatrick will begin Week 1 as the starter, Miami isn't opposed to playing Tagovailoa as a rookie. According to the Miami Herald, the expectation of Fitzpatrick holding on to the job is based not only on the fact that he has infinitely more experience than Tagovailoa, (and five years of experience in offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's system) but also because Tagovailoa cannot do any on-field work with Dolphins coaches because of the lack of an in-person off-season program. But if Tagovailoa impresses coaches, they're not at all opposed to him seeing the field at some point this season. Fantasy managers will see how that plays out, but it's worth noting that Tagovailoa had more games where he threw four or more touchdowns (12) than he had total interceptions (11) throughout his entire collegiate career. In the words of Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport, "If he plays half as well as he did at Alabama, Tagovailoa is going to take South Florida (and the NFL as a whole) by storm."
