Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has apparently shown some flashes, but there are still growing pains.

As I’ve said before, I expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to open the season as the starter. It seems like the safest option for the team.
While Fitz isn’t going to ever be an NFL star, there’s no doubt that he’s steady and dependable, which makes him a solid choice to start the season.
Tua is coming off of a brutal hip injury from his days at Alabama, and hasn’t taken a snap of NFL football. It’s going to take some time to get him ready.

There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s better if he takes his time, and then the Dolphins can put him once he’s ready.
It sounds like he’s already showing flashes, but he’s got a ways to go. Nothing wrong with that. Making the jump from college to the NFL is a big challenge for quarterbacks.

When he’s ready, Tua will take over and probably have several great years with the Dolphins. It just probably won’t happen week one.
