Tagovailoa was obviously referring to Allen’s physical abilities, which are arguably superior to those of any other quarterback in the NFL. But for a quarterback who has struggled mightily over the past two seasons, fans were quick to hit Tua with the “you can say that again” treatment.
Tagovailoa has struggled with turnovers
Through two games this season, Tagovailoa has turned the ball over four times. He had two interceptions and lost a fumble in a 33-8 blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. He then threw another pick in Sunday’s 33-27 loss to the New England Patriots, and that one came when the Dolphins were trying to mount a comeback late in the fourth quarter.
After signing a four-year, $212.4M extension last offseason, Tagovailoa battled injuries and failed to lead Miami to the playoffs. He threw for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He missed six games due to injury, and the Dolphins finished 8-9.
Allen, on the other hand, is coming off an MVP season. It would be an understatement to say Tagovailoa “can’t do half of what” Allen does, even if that is not how Tua meant for it to come out.
