Tua Tagovailoa’s arm has been the most compelling topic of discussion over the last week.
The team originally put out a video of practice where the quarterback seemed to underthrow wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Miami’s fan base and the national media took that video and created a storm. Hill responded by putting out a video from his own account showing accurate passes from Tagovailoa.
Naturally, when quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell spoke to the media on Friday, he was asked a number of questions about Tagovailoa and the offense with the former Crimson Tide quarterback at the helm.
“We’ll be able to do whatever we want to do,” Bevell said. “There’s not really any throw that he can’t make.”
Bevell knows a thing or two about the position. He’s worked with Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson and Trevor Lawrence in his career.
When asked about the most important traits that a quarterback would need in this offense, he picked two that seem to fit Tagovailoa’s skill set, in his mind at least.
“I think really a sense of timing and accuracy would be the first two things that I would say,” Bevell said. “Tua’s got, really, a great feel for both of those. That’s where I would say it starts.”
Bevell also talked up Tagovailoa’s leadership.
“Each guy really has kind of a different set of leadership skills,” he said. “No one’s guy going to be the same, but Tua definitely has it. The No. 1 thing is when you go play well that helps you lead. He’s doing all those other things. He’s working on his game. He’s working on his team. He’s doing all those things to help him be a great leader.”
It’s clear that everyone in the organization is on the same page when it comes to supporting Tagvoailoa as the starter.
