Ochocinco vs. Mad Dog vs. Louis Riddick 🍿 Is Tua Tagovailoa worth his $212M extension? | First Take

Why when josh Allen got paid everybody was saying they paying him for what he’s going to do not What he’s done but they don’t say that for nobody else

[@kepapurdy1489]

It’s because Tua is not a good ol’ boy like Jesus Allen. Tua is Polynesian. That means he can in no way “understand “ the intricacies of an offense like Captain America can. Polynesians are typically suited to be “all brawn no brain “ type players even though Tua has proven otherwise thus far.

[@jamesvolder5320]

[@raikouuv3]

Beating Dallas isn’t the accomplishment people think it is. That Dallas Defense was horrendous

[@joshbeezley4158]

Over the last 12 weeks of the season up to the 49'ers game, he led the league in TD passes, TD-INT Ratio at 24-1, led the league in yards, was 3'rd in completion percentage and tied for the most wins in that span. I won't even use the Dallas game. That's too easy. He also beat the Chiefs with Mahomes and the Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving, and had great games against those teams. Jordan also has better physical traits than Tua. He's 6'3" ot Tua's 6'0". He's got far superior arm strength and talent. He's more accurate. He's mobile. He also had a better year statistically and finished with a better record than Aaron Rodgers did in his first year as a starter. Love also got his 9-8 team to the playoffs and won a playoff game against the 2 seed as a 7 seed, whereas Aaron's team just finished 6-10. Tua hasn't won a playoff game. This is an upside signing. Love has shown he has the capability to be great in the NFL and probably has the highest ceiling of any QB in the NFL, alongside or just behind Stroud. Tua hasn't proven anything yet.

[@J4RMAMS]

@@joshbeezley4158 Jordan is love is not more accurate then Tua. Jordan has a lot to prove and doesn’t have 4 winning seasons under his belt while two are with subpar teams and fresh from a broken hip which could have been career ending.

Once again this goal post keeps getting moved….. with Waddle he put up 2,600 and waddle accounted for 1K of those yards. Tyreek had over 1,7500 yards with Tua having 3,600 in 2022 and 4.624 in 2024….
