While Tua has shown flashes of brilliance since being drafted in 2020, critics argue that the team may eventually look to explore other options\u2014especially if postseason results continue to fall short.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"994\">\u201cTua has had moments where he looks like a franchise QB,\u201d the article states. \u201cBut Miami is entering a win-now window, and patience may be wearing thin if the team starts slowly in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1252\">Fans and analysts have already taken to social media to defend the 26-year-old signal-caller, pointing to his impressive 2023 stats and leadership qualities.

However, this latest list from Bleacher Report adds more fuel to the ongoing conversation about his future in Miami.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1649\">As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Tua\u2014not just to keep his starting job, but to prove he can lead the Dolphins deep into the playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QBs also listed:\u00a0Dak Prescott (Cowboys)\u00a0Russell Wilson (Giants)\u00a0Sam Darnold (Seahawks)\u00a0Aaron Rodgers (Steelers\/Free Agent) In a surprising development, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been named by Bleacher Report&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
