Tua Tagovailoa is not the weak end of the roster but until he can prove that he is capable of leading the team on his shoulder the quarterback position is, unfortunately, the weakest position on the team. This is not to say Tagovailoa is bad or there are concerns, there shouldn’t be.

With a full off-season and improved offensive line and more weapons, Tagovailoa is prepped for a big jump this season but the entire success of this franchise will rest on his production and leadership.

While Tagovailoa is the key to Miami’s success, another reason the position is low is that Miami’s backup doesn’t have the same leadership and immediate respect that Ryan Fitzpatrick brought to Miami. Jacoby Brissett is a capable backup who can start and has starting experience but he doesn’t bring that special play to the field like Fitz did. Hopefully, he won’t have to if Tua can take a leap.

Beyond the two of them, the Dolphins have only Reid Sinnett on the roster and will probably add another quarterback before training camp but this unit will ride or die on the progress of Tua Tagovailoa.
