Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is poised to ink a significant contract extension during this offseason. Despite his lackluster performance in the Wildcard Round loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, the organization remains steadfast in their belief that he is the quarterback of their future.
A recent social media post by Tagovailoa’s mother, Diane, celebrating his birthday sparked controversy when one user labeled Tagovailoa as the ‘worst quarterback’ they had ever seen. Diane Tagovailoa swiftly responded to the criticism, retorting, “Your mom must be proud.”
Throughout the season’s conclusion, Tagovailoa faced significant criticism from fans across the league, with even some Dolphins supporters expressing doubt about offering the 26-year-old quarterback a multi-year contract extension.
The upcoming draft class boasts numerous talented quarterbacks, providing the AFC East franchise with options to potentially replace their current signal-caller.
NFL analyst Joe Klatt previously suggested that the Dolphins should consider drafting Michael Penix Jr., citing similarities to Tagovailoa and the potential to reset their quarterback contract cycle.
However, the Dolphins remain committed to Tagovailoa, and their decision to stand by him as their quarterback will be closely scrutinized in the seasons to come.
