Title: Tua was number 1 in the red zone last year (2021) Post by: CF DolFan on May 05, 2022, 06:09:39 pm Interesting numbers on Tua. He had some bad moments and even struggled the whole game against the Titans but I think Tua is a much better qb than he has been given credit for. Hoping he has a break out season with these new weapons around him.
NFL analyst Warren Sharp brought one of those topics to light on Thursday, as he referenced Tua Tagovailoa’s success in the red zone. He gave us a list of the league’s top-10 red zone quarterbacks based on success rate, and Tagovailoa’s position on the list might be surprising to some. top-10 red zone QBs in 2021* 1. Tua Tagovailoa 2. Josh Allen 3. Jalen Hurts 4. Lamar Jackson (tie) 4. Tom Brady 6. Ryan Tannehill 7. Jimmy Garoppolo 8. Kirk Cousins 9. Aaron Rodgers 10. Teddy Bridgewater *based on success rate (EPA>0), min 50 att With the injuries and inconsistencies in Miami’s offense in 2021, Tagovailoa was pretty successful when they were in close. In the red zone, he had the league’s best completion percentage (65.4%), third-best touchdown percentage (28.8%), second-lowest sack percentage (1.8%) and sixth-best passer rating (101.3). Typically, those numbers would lead to some pretty great seasons, but, at the very best, Tagovailoa’s season was considered average. If he can replicate those numbers with the playmakers that he has around him in 2022, the Dolphins should be set up for a better result. https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/05/dolphins-tua-tagovailoa-red-zone-2021/ |
