Quarterback situation: Miami Dolphins bet on Tua Tagovailoa
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Tua Tagovailoa has had a difficult year. Although the quarterback was able to convince on the field, he suffered several concussions. Experts even speculated regarding a possible early career end for health reasons. The Dolphins are still planning with Tagovailoa: According to information from “ESPN” reporter Adam Schefter, the Hawaiian has already secured his starter job for the 2023 season – the last of his rookie contract. Speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, GM Chris Grier said the franchise isn’t ruling out a long-term future with the Lefty: “It’s not something that makes us shy away from planning something long-term,” Grier said. “Even though he’s been knocked out, he always comes back and performs well. I’m looking forward to his future.”
- Starter: Tua Tagovailoa
- Backup: Skylar Thompson
Next turn at the Arizona Cardinals. After head coach Kliff Kingsbury announced that quarterback Colt McCoy got through concussion protocol, he now had to take a backwards roll. The head coach explained that McCoy subsequently noticed further symptoms of a concussion. The playmaker falls out of the game once morest the Atlanta Falcons. David Blough, signed in week two from the Vikings’ practice squad, will be the Cardinals’ fourth signal caller this season. Murray representative McCoy suffered a concussion on December 18 and was replaced by Trace McSorley last week. This will now become Blough’s backup.

Munich – Marcus Mariota’s time with the Atlanta Falcons seems to be over. The quarterback has reportedly already closed personally with the team and may be planning his escape from the Falcons.
The 29-year-old is said to have made the decision for himself following head coach Arthur Smith announced that Mariota would only sit on the bench in the upcoming games and rookie Desmond Ridder would take over the starting job with the Falcons.
According to “The Athletic”, two scenarios are now opening up for the franchise to deal with the Mariota personality: you might put the quarterback on the “injured reserve” list due to an alleged “chronic knee injury” or fire him directly – if the player does not get ahead of themselves with an escape or a strike. Because Mariota voluntarily sits on the bench does not seem to be an option in the current situation. How exactly Atlanta as a club ultimately decides is still completely unclear.
Uncertain future for Mariota
So does Mariota’s NFL future. He signed a two-year contract with Atlanta last offseason following spending two years as a backup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Between 2015 and 2019, the Hawaiian played for the Tennessee Titans.
So far this season, the 2015 draft pick has thrown for 2,219 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also made nine interceptions. He scored four touchdowns himself. Will he also run away from Atlanta?
