"A primary job of a columnist is to offer unsolicited advice to anybody, and here's some for Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross: Move on from Tua Tagovailoa. It's time. It's obvious, too. Maybe not move on from the final three insignificant games of this season after Monday's 28-15 lackluster loss in Pittsburgh. Maybe you don't even release him this offseason if you want some training-camp bang for the $99 million owed him."
"The Dolphins were down 21-3 in the third quarter, then 28-3 early in the fourth, and had no giddy-up to their tempo. "Flabbergasting," ESPN's Troy Aikman called their waving the white flag by moving so slow. It's like they were the team with the lead or wanted to run out the clock. And why not? Tua had 60 yards passing through three, empty quarters. His limitations were obvious."
Steve Ross should move on from Tua Tagovailoa. Keeping Tua for the final three games or the offseason can be justified financially, but the era of Tua as a reliable starter is over. Tua appears aged and limited, prompting game plans that avoid downfield passing and rely on the run. The offense stalled against Pittsburgh, falling behind 28-3 with little urgency and producing only 60 passing yards through three quarters. Late-game stats were meaningless because they came after the outcome was decided. Sacks and long opponent touchdown drives exposed fundamental team problems.
