Tua Tagovailoa and Dan Marino have been two of the Miami Dolphins' best quarterbacks in recent memory. Both play the position in a similar fashion in terms of how they throw the ball.

That comparison was put on display during Week 2's Sunday Night Football game between the Dolphins and the New England Patriots. During the game, broadcaster Cris Collinsworth showed Tagovailoa and Marino side-by-side, with each quarterback throwing the football.

What made the comparison interesting was they flipped Tagovailoa to mirror Marino because he throws left-handed. Fans took to X (Twitter) to share their thoughts on the comparison, trolling Tagovailoa in the process:

As for Dan Marino, he spent all 17 seasons with the franchise retiring in March 2000. Marino is the Dolphins' all-time leader in nearly all of the major passing categories like passing yards (61,361 yards) and touchdowns (420).

He led the league in passing yards five times and was the first quarterback to have 5,000 yards in a season. However, both of them have yet to lead the team to a Super Bowl win.
