2024 Dolphins 1-6 against winning teams

Are things going to be different this year? What will be the path for Tua?
Are you going to pay $50 million for him to continue?

"If there's one team heading toward QB purgatory it's the Dolphins with Tua Tagovailoa. Whether it's been injury, cold weather or poor performance, Tua and Miami have crumbled down the stretch in back-to-back years after getting off to historic starts on offense. The Dolphins should hold off on extending Tagovailoa until the team proves it can make a playoff run with him under center. He was just 1-6 with eight touchdowns and seven picks vs. playoff teams last year, which doesn't inspire enough confidence for a long-term deal worth $50 million per year. He can play on the fifth-year option in 2024 and they can franchise tag him in 2025 if necessary.

I mostly agree that he needs to earn his new contract by winning a division and a playoff game or two this year. He has a lot to still prove IMO. The loses late last season not all on him, D was hit hard by injuries and a bone head decision by McDaniel.
