class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tagovailoa\u2019s 2024 season has been a wild ride due to the concussion he suffered in Week 2, but when he\u2019s been available, he\u2019s been very productive.<\/p>\n<p>Across nine games, he has completed a league-best 73.8 percent of his passes (putting him in the mix to set the all-time NFL record) for 2,456 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. The Dolphins have gone 5-4 in his starts, so one can only wonder where they\u2019d be if he never suffered his Week 2 concussion. Miami is currently 6-7 overall.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,123749106\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5eb56158e9893f1f1a5bfcb8_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As mentioned, this is really Tagovailoa\u2019s third straight season in which he\u2019s been rock solid. In his first two NFL seasons under former head coach Brian Flores, he was never able to live up to his full potential. But in three seasons under current head coach Mike McDaniel, he has looked more like the player the Dolphins hoped they were drafting in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In Tagovailoa\u2019s first season under McDaniel, he led the league in passer rating. In his second season under McDaniel, he led the league in total passing yards. This season, he\u2019s got the best completion percentage in football.<\/p>\n<p>Tagovailoa also helped the Dolphins reach the playoffs in each of his first two seasons under McDaniel, and he\u2019s hoping to make it three straight this season. Doing so, however, is going to be a challenge. Miami may need to win out to earn a playoff bid.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,123749106\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5eb56158e9893f1f1a5bfcb8_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The team\u2019s remaining games will come against the\u00a0Houston Texans,\u00a0San Francisco 49ers,\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0and\u00a0New York Jets. Winning all four games would put the Dolphins at 10-7 on the season, a solid place to be. But there are no guarantees that a 10-7 finish is in the cards.<\/p>\n<p>Tagovailoa will certainly do everything he can to help the team get there, and he\u2019ll look to prove Warner right in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images With\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0quarterback Tua Tagovailoa working on his third consecutive very strong season, Hall of Fame signal-caller Kurt Warner has a message for his critics&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
