Disrespected, Even When He's Great: Tua Tagovailoa

Why is Tua So Disrespected? Tua Tagovailoa is now in the NFL MVP discussion as the Dolphins finding another gear on offense. Mike McDaniel, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle all get credit & love, but Tua still draws criticism from around the league.

He’s pinpoint accurate, elusive, has great pocket awareness, makes smart decisions, gets the ball out quicker than most QBs, hardly ever turns the ball over, tough as nails, and has become a master at manipulating opposing defenses. Oh yeah, he also wins almost every game he plays. Only time will tell though if he can stay healthy throughout his career.

As a neutral party (a Bengals fan), I think a lot of the people who disrespect Tua are the ones who are all up on Herbert and are just mad Tua was taken over Herbert. But I think this year has shown why he was. Tua is a top QB in the league. I won't pretend that I thought much of him talent-wise before this stellar year by him, but he has massively improved. Yes he has an improved situation, but I don't think that alone can account for such a large improvement. People don't want to believe he's good because it breaks the notions they had of him last year and when he was drafted.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I think you’re on to something. I feel like that’s where some of the Mahomes dislike comes from as well. If you look at the comments on old Mahomes draft videos, it’s clear a lot of people thought KC had made a huge mistake & he was clearly a bust. I think it stems from people just hating being proven wrong. Those kind of people don’t want to admit Tua is a lot better than they thought he’d be, so they look for reasons why they might still be right (system QB, Waddle & Hill etc). Some will continue to look for reasons even after he’s gone to consecutive Pro Bowls/Super Bowls.

[@smudgeous4068]

As a Dolphins fan, it's something I hadn't previously considered, but I completely get it. Lamar is #3 in win percentage in history, had one of the best seasons of all time in 2019, and is still finding ways to win despite tons of injuries. The fact that Fields is suddenly balling (and rushing) out of his mind means there's a new exciting extremely talented rushing QB for people to fawn over. Also due to missing his top receiving options, Lamar's pure passing stats aren't on the same level as Mahomes/Hurts/Tua means he slid further down the MVP race so far this season. All that said though, I don't know how anyone would argue he's average/underwhelming/only a product of his system like people still are claiming about Tua.

As a fellow broncos fan I think Tua is incredible. He plays at a high level and has the leadership and drive of a top 5 QB. Brian Flores I think was the main problem with Tua and was trying to hurt his development. Remember the finger incident last year where Tua got benched for being "hurt" when he said he wasn't, then he comes back and lead the dolphins on that huge win streak. That's the main reason why Brian Flores's firing looked weird but if Tua didn't carry them to those wins then there wouldn't have been any controversy at all with his firing.

One correction - it's a myth that Tua throws short passes and succeeds because of Hill and Waddle YAC. The numbers say exactly the opposite he connects deep with minimal YAC.

I think a hugely overlooked reason why Tua is so controversial, before any comparisons with the others in the 2020 draft class, is that he was even drafted by the Dolphins to begin with. Please, hear me out on this one. Tua's arrival at Miami marked the most coveted QB draft prospect for the Dolphins since Dan Marino, who was obviously a special player. Just as obviously, they means the two are going to be compared to each other a lot. Marino is a bona fide gunslinger. He was a quarterback who was known for his arm strength and big time throws. Tua...is not a gunslinger. He can look at times like he's checking the ball down too much out of fear of taking too big a risk. He's a sound football player who is extremely consistent, but Dan Marino especially? He is not. In a lot of ways, he's almost a stark opposite to Marino, and before this year, he also didn't seem to really be the leader that people would want a franchise QB to be. To many, especially those who compare to the Dan Marino era, they might think he's still too mild mannered this year. Obviously, the comparisons to Justin Herbert, who is also a gunslinger and far more Marino-like, serve to throw fuel to a raging fire. However, it's my honest opinion that even without Herbert's existence, Tua would still be a polarizing player today. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Have enjoyed your channel for many years, Perna and these balls deep segments are well done. Appreciate it

[@omgbygollywow]

He is Samoan. He is short. He is a Christian. He is left-handed. He does not fit the mold.

[@horsekfobster7823]

Christians aren’t attacked in football

[@omgbygollywow]

@@horsekfobster7823 Yes, they are, if they proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, as Tua and Tebow have done on national television. Most Christians won't say the name of Jesus on national television or in public.

[@CHIEFINSIDOUS]

He's name isn't a typical English name. He's not white or black so he doesn't fit in. He's an outcast so he's an easy target to bash.

[@Tubalcain422]

Christian? Please be quiet, you sound unhinged. Tua is disrespected for 99 reasons, but religion ain’t one.

[@cringecertifier3125]

Tua🤝Kirk cousins Being hated for no damn reason while playing top ten level

[@joshuapaulgibson]

Lifelong Bama fan. He’s my favorite QB of all time. I’m a lefty so I’m partial. He is and always has been SPECIAL though and that’s why they hate him. He’s unique, original and CANNOT BE BOUGHT! I love the kid for all the reasons they hate him.

[@TheFrenchPug]

Best sports channel on KZbin. Someone should at least pick you up for a writer. But I'd rather see you on TV with your dry sense of humor delivering the goods.

[@nintendsoad]

Is he disrespected? I mean yeah he is not in the same conversation as Allen or Mahomes, but those guys have been elite for more than a single season. Tua has not done that yet, but I think most believe he has the potential.

[@maureenhenry7034]

Thanks for doing this on Tua. I also agreed that he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He is special and will bring us a championship soon…

[@tip3058]

Flo was In love with Jordan Love of that 2020 draft

[@geoffreypotter836]

As a human being, but also a Bills fan, I am disgusted by Tua's treatment thus far.

[@geoffreypotter836]

Also, that outro statement about winning a Super Bowl before our lord and savior JOSH ALLEN is almost means to unsubscribe. Your balls are on thin ice, sir.

[@moeoftwo]

You know what? People doubted Tom Brady too. Always remember it and prove them wrong, Tua.

[@tannerc43]

Short answer? Because people suck. Anyways, great video Brandon 😂

[@CarnageUndone]

I don't think people I just don't trust his availability because he's very very injured. No one really said that he doesn't have talent it was just if he was even able to get on the field and stay on it.

[@ImStillLandy]

@@CarnageUndone he's not overly injured? He's really only been out once and that was because of medical malpractice. I'm not sure I follow?

[@CarnageUndone]

@@ImStillLandy yeah you don't follow his college career was riddled with injuries also his first year in the NFL was riddled with injuries. One of these injuries will catch up on to him.

[@ImStillLandy]

@@CarnageUndone haven't so far.

[@CarnageUndone]

@@ImStillLandy all right I should have known by using name that you're delusional. And that you can't do your research

[@nathannamulauti3193]

Just remember his injury that almost ended his football career. Then drafted to the dolphins which wasn’t doing to well for some years..think about how much pressure he was probably going through thinking about his injury and just tryna do the best he can when he got the opportunity to behind Fitzpatrick..And dealing with a head coach that had no respect for him and didn’t kno how to use TUA to his capabilities..Now with the coach that knows how to use TUA and create plays for him and the team and bring in players to benefit the entire team..He doesn’t have the strongest arm but he’s a damn good job at throwing it to his receivers weather there wide open or in tight coverage..it just shows you don’t gotta throw the deep ball to be successful..give him the respect he deserves lesssss gooooo TUA 🤙🏽

[@darianclark3980]

Like I said a month or so before, I feel very bad for Tua Tagavailoa. In my opinion, people hate him because he isn't as "iconic" as Justin Herbert, who cant beat bad teams and has a losing/worse record than Tua. But hey, both Bama QBs (Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagavailoa) are doing better bc they got a much improved rosters around them and have reviewed less hate that shouldn't had been given to them last year.

[@legoman2313]

Yeah but Justin Herbert has a loosing record and although he’s not 100% he is showing why we chose Tua over him. Tua proving all the haters wrong and there is no excuse for it

[@NearlyChimp]

Great vid, all sports analysts craft a narrative for a player/team but you consistently delve deeper and don’t say the first simple take or snappy headline that comes to mind. Brandon “I use my mega mind to craft quality content instead of whoring myself for views” Perna

[@krakaman8861]

the "Rocket Armed Passer" and "9 inch penis" comparison was PRICELESS lolol 15:03

[@exillens]

"But but he can't learn his playbook". Seriously though. Tua body wise is not eye popping "bigger, stronger, faster" like the average fan looks for. Tua's elite skills are things only knowledgeable observers notice. Quick twitch movement, quick throwing release, pocket awareness, accuracy, anticipation, timing, feel for the game, eye manipulation, decision making, quick progressions. These are all the things Tua is elite at which makes it look like he's playing the game too easy

[@everbard3071]

Tua is good. Darn good. He's gotta be the favorite for MVP right now.

[@iseentertainment3482]

Tua is a true warrior regardless of all the doubters and haters! this man has nothing to prove to anyone he is definitely the best thing that ever happened to the miami dolphins right now!! FINS Up… 🐬

[@Bughy2236]

I’m pretty sure Rich Eisen is the only media figure that actually believes in Tua

[@alvinmapanao920]

I would like to add that every QB needs, to be successful, needs a supporting cast to get things done... Montana/Rice/Craig , Aikman/Irvin/Smith , Warner/Bruce/Faulk... and yet no one never talked shit about them.

[@betordsimoes]

I´m not a Dolpinhs fan, but my dog is (yes, that's correct. Long story.). Here in Brazil, fortunately, there's no debate regarding Tua's talent and abilities. He's good, period. Not a gunslinger or extremely dinamic running the football, but a accurate and smart QB, and the Dolphins are really something this year. And that's something really cool about QBs. You can watch Lamar, Herbert, Allen, Mahomes, Tua and others and everyone of them are really cool to watch in different ways.

[@riftur7636]

This video says it all. The media attacked Tua like I have never seen before. They have never been so critical of a young QB and I have been watching football religiously since the mid 80's. It was ridiculous and its why Tuanon was born, which is funny, but also ridiculous.

[@SmokeBurp]

great analysis sir the tom brady X on his face made me snort lol

[@dirges88]

great insight. well done video and arguement. keep up the amazing work

[@patrickgreen4154]

I didn't want say but honestly The Nfl doesn't like when player's especially Tua everytime he's speaking to reporters his first word is to are thanks to my Savior Lord Jesus Christ...praise his Faith which i love..NFL doesn't like it...but to bad Tua keep doing what your doing.

[@klausshuh5156]

Now imagine if that dolphins defense starts to play up to their potential like they have the past couple years and not like they have been against teams like the bears

[@santisiso5]

I had my reservations about Tua starting the season, but after watching him more I've grown to love his game, all the hate he receives comes from absurdity from people who decided he sucks his rookie year and cannot bring themselves to be wrong about it

[@impreza99rs]

Haters are gonna hate... and the haters are gonna double down! GREAT video! Liked and subscribed!

[@smudgeous4068]

The truth is either Tua's first 2 seasons were a great QB dealing with a terrible situation who is no longer shackled by those shortcomings and finally showing the ability he's had all along, or he's just an underwhelming quarterback who is somehow now just in the best offensive situation of any QB in the league. Despite all the evidence pointing to the former, the latter hot take is lazier and allows sports media to avoid needing to admit they were wrong.

[@smudgeous4068]

People cite that comparing him to QBs like Mahomes is blasphemy, but Mahomes has always had Hill + Kelce + better offensive lines and rushing attacks. Mahomes was the most pressured QB in Super Bowl history vs Tampa at 52%, finishing with 53% completion, 5.5 y/a, and a QB rating of 52.3. By comparison Tua's entire 2021 season was at a QB pressure rate of 60.5% and finished the year with 67.8% completion, 6.8 y/a, and a QB rating of 90.1
