This season, Tua Tagovailoa has been the highlight of the NFL universe for the most impressive clutch plays. Despite having two career-ending injuries, the star quarterback recovered and came back to the front lines strongly. After that dominant display, many started comparing him to the NBA’s all-time greats.
The QB had a great start to the season, and his comeback performance earned him a victory. As a result of his play, critics are comparing him with the NBA GOAT, Michael Jordan. Afterward, Bill Simmons, a football analyst, took to Twitter to share his opinions on Tagovailoa. He stated, “Tua is the Michael Jordan of dropped picks.”

Prior to Sunday night, the last time we watched Tagovailoa play football, he was knocked unconscious in a terrifying sight. An ongoing discussion over player safety was sparked as a result.
On the day against the Steelers, Tua Tagovailoa completed 21 of 35 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown. The return of the franchise quarterback thrilled the Miami crowds. Their enthusiasm skyrocketed when Tua completed a touchdown throw to RB Raheem Mostert from eight yards out.
The fans have taken to social media to express their delight at Tagovailoa’s homecoming.

Barstool Sports joked: “Billy this is Tua Tagovailoa, one of the most undervalued QBs in football. His defect is that he does not know how to slide.” The Dolphins are now 4-3, and their season seems to be on the upswing. They can breathe a sigh of relief with the return of Tagovailoa.
