Tyreek Hill has continued to hype up his new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and made a bold statement regarding his former QB Patrick Mahomes.
Tyreek Hill was recently traded to the Miami Dolphins from the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a big part of the Chiefs’ offense for the past four years, and it was a very big move.
Even though the move was due to a contract dispute, both the parties didn’t have any bad feelings for each other. However, that might have changed since then. Recently Hill has made multiple comments that would upset everyone associated with the Chiefs.
Recently he appeared on a podcast, and further talked about his move from the Chiefs. He was asked about who has the better arm between his new quarterback Tua, and old QB in Mahomes.
Hill replied and said, “Obviously, I’m gonna go with one five as the strongest arm, but as far as accuracy-wise, I’m going with Tua all day,” Hill said. “I want it to hit me right in the bread basket just like I did in the Buffalo Bills game and take it 70 (yards).”
This was a very strange statement by Tyreek Hill, as everyone is aware of the difference in quality between Mahomes and Tua. Hill was maybe right in his position, as he is looking to build up the confidence of his new quarterback who has been under the pressure throughout his career.
“He’s that dude”- Tyreek Hill is very confident about playing with Tua Tagovailoa
Everyone is very eager to see how Tyreek Hill will fit on the Dolphins. He is used to catching long balls from Mahomes, but now it won’t be the same. Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t have arm strength like Mahomes, and as a result, that could impact Hill’s performance.
Tyreek Hill further talked about Tua and said, “Man, I’ve had the chance to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, but he’s that dude. A lot of people don’t know. I’m not just sitting here just saying this because he’s my quarterback. I’m not trying to get more targets right now, but what I’m to say is Tua is that deal.”
Hill added, “Bro, he has a heck of an arm. He’s accurate, he can throw the deep ball and he actually goes through his reads while people on Twitter are saying ‘Oh, he doesn’t go through his reads.’ Man, this dude is that dude.”
The Cheetah certainly has confidence in his quarterback, and that has left many people wondering. With what we have seen of Tua in the NFL so far, he hasn’t shown anything similar to what Tyreek has been describing lately.
Can Miami Dolphins make the playoffs this season?
The Miami Dolphins have a tough task ahead of them next season. Their division is quite competitive, and with all the talent that they have added up, they’ll need to qualify for the playoffs.
The Buffalo Bills are undoubtedly the clear-cut favorites to win their division. The main focus will be on the second position in their division. The Dolphins will be challenged by the Patriots and the Jets. Both of them are pretty solid teams, and anyone can cement a playoff spot from their division.
The main pressure will be on Dolphins’ quarterback Tua. If he doesn’t play well this season, his place might be in jeopardy. Tua has been given all the tools to excel, and it’s now up to him to lead his team to success.
The Patriots led by Mac Jones were able to reach the playoffs last season, and they will be the biggest barricade in front of Tua and the Dolphins. Both Tua and Mac Jones played for Alabama at the college level, and this will be an interesting fight between them.
