Did the Dolphins make the right call by playing Tua Tagovailoa?

Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins quarterback, was injured in last night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was sacked late and laid on the ground with his fingers curling oddly, then needed to be carted off the field. This is the second time in two weeks that Tua has been sacked and taken out of a game. Some are questioning whether or not he should have been playing in last night’s game at all, given his previous injuries. Let’s take a look at the facts.

Tua Tagovailoa was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 2020 with the fifth overall pick. He had previously played for the University of Alabama, where he won a national championship in 2018. Tua earned the Dolphin’s starting quarterback position and went back and forth for the starting spot. He regained his starting spot after Week 7 when starter Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched.

This year, Tua is the full-time starter and was sacked by Bills and taken out of the game last week. He later returned to play. The following week, against the Bengals, Tua was again sacked and had to be helped off the field.

Some are questioning whether or not Tua should have been playing in last night’s game at all, given his previous injuries. Let’s take a look at both sides of the argument.

On the one hand, some say that Tua should not have played in last night’s game because he is still recovering from previous injuries. On the other hand, others say that Tua should have been playing because he is the best quarterback on the Dolphin’s roster and gives them their best chance to win games. The Dolphins were 3-0 at that juncture of the season.

So what do you think? Should Tua have been playing in last night’s game?
