Tua Tagovailoa to start for Dolphins

[thismybgolname]

The Dolphins gave rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a taste of playing time in Sunday’s blowout win over the Jets. Now they think he’s ready to take over.

Tagovailoa will start for the Dolphins in Week Eight against the Rams, following the Dolphins’ bye this week.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will now be Tagovailoa’s backup. Fitzpatrick has played well enough that he doesn’t really deserve to be benched, but the plan was always to start Tagovailoa when the coaching staff thought he was ready, and now the coaching staff thinks he’s ready.

The Dolphins are 3-3 and could compete for a playoff spot in the AFC, but they’re balancing winning now with building for the future, and they’ve decided that Tua Time is now.

Wasn't this the plan from day one?

I don't like it. I think he should just sit out the year.

Makes sense Miami is going into their bye week so they can use the time to get him ready for the Rams at home.

If he were to struggle its no biggie to put fitzmagic back in.

What the hell Miami... I love Tua, but you guys have a legit chance to win a division that you haven't won since Brady's second year.

Man I really hope this works out because Brian Flores has really done some wonders in Miami and I'd hate to see him get canned if they lose this year.

Basically... this is exactly what I was thinking and Jalen Ramsey at the corner spot.
