During the offseason, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was interviewed on “The Dan Le Batard Show,” where he discussed his former head coach Brian Flores.

“If you woke up every morning and I told you you suck at what you did, that you don’t belong doing what you do, that you shouldn’t be here, that this guy should be here, that you haven’t earned this right, and then you have somebody else come in and tell you, ‘Dude, you are the best fit for this,’” Tagovailoa said about Flores, “how would it make you feel listening to one or the other?”

At the time, many people sided with Tua, thinking Flores was wrong, but after Tagovailoa’s poor performance in Week 2, opinions have changed.

It was probably the worst game of Tua’s NFL career. He completed 17 of 25 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, and a 56.7 passer rating.

To make matters worse, the Buffalo defense took back his third interception for a pick-six. It was disheartening for many Dolphins fans, considering he just signed a four-year $212 million contract.

Tua Tagovailoa Suffers Third Concussion While In The NFL

Despite Tua’s rough performance in Week 2, it’s hard not to feel hopeful for the young quarterback, who also suffered his third concussion at the NFL level.

It came during a quarterback scramble, which he dove head-first into the chest of Bills safety Damar Hamlin and was immediately taken out of the game.

The most concerning part about all of this is that he has suffered all of these head injuries in just a 24-month span. As we have learned from other former players, head injuries are not something to take lightly.
