Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa nonetheless in concussion protocol

The folks closest to Tua Tagovailoa would possibly say they help him publicly, however there must be some a part of them that wishes to scream, “Intervention! Intervention! Intervention!” The mother and father of the Miami Dolphins quarterback, Galu and Diane, each stated their son “comes again,” and I can’t think about them saying something on the contrary.

In his first yr underneath new head coach Mike McDaniel, Tua lastly confirmed glimpses of what made him so deified at Alabama, and if he had every other harm, the hype for subsequent season would’ve already began. Nonetheless, he’s nonetheless in concussion protocol a month after what was his third blow to the top of the yr — two confirmed concussions and a regarding blow to the top — and can now miss the Professional Bowl. It’s the Professional Bowl so who cares, however at the least it was helpful this yr as a result of I don’t know if we get an replace on Tua’s standing if not for his inclusion within the upcoming showcase.

Why would anybody need to wreck Tua’s desires?

It’s really easy for me to take a seat right here and write that Tagovailoa must take a step away from the sport, at the least this offseason, and actually weigh his choices going ahead. See how simple that was. Right here have a look at this: Tagovailoa must take a step away from the sport, at the least this offseason, and actually weigh his choices going ahead. I didn’t even should kind it out that point. It was simply copy and paste.

The Dolphins haven’t had a franchise QB since Dan Marino, and all of South Florida desires this simply as a lot as Tua, possibly extra. And he was doing it. Miami made the playoffs largely due to the recent begin that the QB, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle acquired them off to. We all know how shut the bond is in locker rooms, and little question these guys need him again. My guess is Tagovailoa additionally wish to return and sure looks like he has an obligation to take action.

An ESPN report stated he’s been assembly with a number of medical doctors and specialists since coming into protocol, and that’s superior. I hope he’s doing it independently of the group and the NFL although. No person is aware of the precise ramifications of three concussions in a season, however we all know it’s not good. I hope whoever he’s speaking to is giving him the unbiased reality. Additionally, it in all probability wouldn’t harm to achieve out to an individual like Andrew Luck who can inform him what life is like after early retirement.

So as far as why anyone would want to ruin Tua’s dreams — no one does. It’s more than a multimillion-dollar decision, it’s a quality-of-life choice. One that, in theory, doctors are communicating to him right now.

Anytime Tagovailoa’s head gets hit during the rest of his career, fans are going to hold their breath while the press readies its takes. That’s the reality of the situation, and it’s awful. But it sucks even more for Tua.
