Jonnu Smith, who called him the “best quarterback in the world.” Smith, when asked about Tua’s status, didn’t hesitate to assert that Tagovailoa’s poise, accuracy, and overall performance place him at the top of the league.
“This guy, to me, right now, he’s the best quarterback in the world right now,” Smith said, emphasizing how Tagovailoa’s performances have impressed him beyond what many outsiders might see.
Tua, ever humble, responded to the compliment by expressing gratitude, but downplaying the individual accolades. “I’m flattered by Jonnu’s words, but for me, it’s all about doing my job to help the team win. It’s not about me; it’s about us being successful as a unit,” Tagovailoa said. He acknowledged that while there’s still room for growth in his game, his focus remains on executing the team’s plan and continuing to improve.
Despite the praise, Tua maintains a team-first mindset, with the Dolphins’ success being his primary goal. He is currently on track to match the greats in terms of consistency and efficiency, something that has been crucial in Miami’s offensive success this season. Tagovailoa’s impressive performances, particularly his calm under pressure and pinpoint accuracy, have made him one of the most talked-about quarterbacks in the league.
