Ryan Fitzpatrick: Tua Tagovailoa outshines every other QB in a specific stat

First-year Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel decided once he took the job that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was a player worth investing in.

After upgrading his supporting cast and building up his confidence during the offseason, Tagovailoa has rewarded the Dolphins in spades. Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has noticed a substantial jump in third-year QB’s development.

“Mike McDaniel has helped a lot, and I think a lot of that has just been confidence,” Fitzpatrick recently stated on the "AP Pro Football Podcast." “…In between the numbers, the line of scrimmage to 20 yards — those throws he’s so effective on because he can see it, he can anticipate it, and he’s extremely accurate in that box. That’s where he’s just been feasting this year. …The stuff over the middle of the field, there isn’t a better passer in the league right now than Tua and what he’s done.”
