By Former NFL quarterback Mike Vick discussed Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during an interview on Tyreek Hill’s It Needed To Be Said podcast. Tagovailoa has to put on weight and strength to better resist hits on the field, according to Vick. Vick emphasised the need of avoiding strikes completely, while Tagovailoa has been learning jiu-jitsu to understand how to fall safely.
Vick brought up the fact that Hill no longer catches passes from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, although Hill has a good contract and a good life in Kansas City, and this brought up the topic of Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa’s remark prompted Hill to call him the “most accurate quarterback in the league.” Vick first agreed with Hill but immediately changed his mind, saying he wouldn’t name him the most accurate but would acknowledge Tagovailoa’s ability to make catches. Vick emphasised Tagovailoa’s success as a collegiate quarterback, during which time he routinely made accurate and well-placed passes to his receivers.
While there is still controversy around his accuracy, Tagovailoa has proven he can successfully run the offensive scheme Mike McDaniel has set up, and the Dolphins have had success when he is on the field. However, remaining fit and avoiding injuries will be Tagovailoa’s main struggles in the next 2023 season. The Dolphins’ chances of succeeding, perhaps even beating one of the league’s toughest divisions, mainly depend on Tagovailoa’s availability and regular playing time.
In conclusion, Vick emphasised the necessity of Tagovailoa gaining stature and muscle to endure blows while also praising his propensity for completing catchable passes. In the future, Tagovailoa will put his attention on maintaining his health and playing on the field because his presence has a big influence on the Dolphins’ prospects of success in the competitive NFL landscape.
