Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa out indefinitely after second head injury

The star quarterback was stretchered off the field Thursday night, just four days after looking woozy and stumbling in a game.

Time for the Dolphins to finally realize and admit that the fragile , injury prone Tua is not the answer . It is time to move on from this nonsense . It’s time for the Dolphins to stop insisting on trying to make him the answer . He isn’t .

You can win this game with Mickey Mouse as QB.

We can’t afford him.

A lot of people will be fired . But what about accountability for the player who made his own decision to be out there even knowing he had a lingering injury . Sure , coaches and medical staff should do their part to protect players , but these are grown men who should be able to admit when their well being is at risk and not go out there . Let’s see how many people are made scapegoats in this matter .

So you want a player that just had his bell rung to use better judgement?

Well, I’m sure Paolo is celebrating this news:

Dolphins say QB Tagovailoa ruled out for Week 5

The Dolphins have ruled quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out for Week 5 against the Jets as he remains in the concussion protocol, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday.

Up until this point McDaniel has seemed like an experienced HC although he is a rookie. I view the Tua injury as an unfortunate learning experience for McDaniel. He is correct that he followed the rules. However, following the rules is only part of the decision process. Tua obviously was wobbled in the Bills game. Even if it was a back issue rushing him back was unwise.

Anyone who is a first-time Supervisor or any other type of leader makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from it and not repeat it. Tua probably told McDaniel he wanted to play. Sometimes a HC has to save a player from himself. I predict that McDaniel will have a great career as a HC. I absolutely believe he is the man for the job but he will need to be more cautious in the future with his QBs. Even if a player is medically cleared to play it isn't always best.

Bridgewater is capable and Thompson has that "it" factor. He seems to make players even better. The Fins will be fine at QB going forward.

Tua has the heart of a lion but the team needs to make sure that he is well before he is cleared to play again.

'Concussion' Dr. Bennet Omalu Urging Tua Tagovailoa To Quit Football Forever

Famed neuropathologist Bennet Omalu tells TMZ Sports ... Tua Tagovailoa should never play another down in the NFL again after suffering a scary head injury last week.

But we all know terrible Tua is more inclined to make the decision that he thinks makes him look tough rather than the smart decision . He can walk away honorably or be laid out permanently . Either way , he doesn’t have what it takes to be the answer for this organization and should stop trying to be.

 

[FanofPelicans]

He's not trying to look tough. He's trying to make plays for your favorite team.

There is nothing Terrible about Tua. He just doesn't protect himself well on the field. I think it's because he would rather try to make a play rather than throw the ball away. In addition he is on the small side for a qb.

Brady has been much better at protecting himself. If there is no one open and the pressure is coming he throws it away and he protects his body better when being tackled. That is how he has lasted more than two decades in the league.

It odd that you never see Brady or Rodgers or Mahomes take and get hit like Tua has had the past few games.

Brady folds himself up right before he is being hit to protect himself. Most of the time he gets rid of the ball before they get a chance to hit him.

I think Tua is less conscientious about avoiding hits. He's focused on making plays to the last second. He was the same way in college.

Your O-line still sucks.
Unfortunately, it is very inconsistent on Tua's blind side.
Still can't run block so the defenders get a big jump on passing downs.
Right side is going to get him killed!

 

[FanofPelicans]

It's a huge challenge for the Fins Oline. The Jets have a very good Dline. The Oline will need to play well.

On defense the Fins Dline will need to generate pressure. The Jets passing game is good but with pressure Wilson is likely to turn the ball over.

You can look at it your way . I see it as him trying to look tough. That’s his goal . To attempt plays that make him look tough — not necessarily the smart plays .
