Other fans commented that the Dolphins receivers truly don't believe Tagovailoa is the most accurate passer:
Fans also feel that the former Chief's numbers will go down this season with Tagovailoa under center:
In a recent appearance on First Take, Hill said that he'd rather play with the most accurate passer in the league in Tagovailoa:
"I just feel like a lot of people haven't seen young Tua's full potential. I had a chance to practice with him. I see a lot of similarities when I look at him and look at Patrick. Zach Wilson is a dog, but I'd rather play with the most accurate quarterback in the NFL."
Hill on Tua this offseason
On his new podcast last month, It Needed to be Said, Hill said that Tagovailoa was a more accurate passer than his former quarterback, Patrick Mahomes:
"Obviously, like I'm gonna go with 15 as the strongest arm but as far as accuracy-wise, I'm going with Tua all day."
The Dolphins quarterback made an appearance on his new wideout's podcast and told him that their chemistry will get there:
“I just feel that our chemistry will get there. Look, it’s going to be about 2 a.m. one night and you’re gonna wake up and walk in your kitchen and I’m going to be washing your dishes. That’s how good our chemistry is going to be, dawg.”
Per ESPN Stats & Info, the Miami quarterback was the most accurate passer in the league last season on passing attempts of at least 25 air yards. Although he connected on 50 percent of his attempts, he attempted the second-fewest of such passes.
