Like many Miami<\/a> fans, CBS needs to see it to believe it.<\/p>\n

In CBS’ NFL quarterbacking tiers<\/a> heading into the 2025 season, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finds himself ranked among the bottom half of the league’s signal-callers.<\/p>\n

CBS placed Tagovailoa in Tier 4, which it referred to as “Volatile Veterans.”<\/p>\n

The medical conversation can’t be oversold here; Tagovailoa has played one full season in five years with the\u00a0Miami Dolphins<\/a>. Aside from that, he’s been polarizing, offering top-shelf accuracy (68.1% career completion rate) but struggling mightily when pressed to create plays out of script when it counts. – Cody Benjamin, CBS.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa played in and started just 11 games for Miami last season after suffering a nasty concussion in Week 2 versus the Buffalo Bills<\/a> that sidelined him for four games. Then, a hip injury late in the season cost Tagovailoa two more contests.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa completed 72.9% of his passes for 2,867 yards and 19 touchdowns against seven picks in 2024.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa finds himself among fellow veteran quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Kyler Murray and Sam Darnold in Tier 4.<\/p>\n

Tier 1 featured CBS’ “Transcendent Talents.” That group included Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels.<\/p>\n

Tier 2\u2014CBS’ “Borderline Stars”\u2014featured Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, Jordan Love, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Baker Mayfield and C.J. Stroud.<\/p>\n

Tier 3 welcomed “Promising Prospects” Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, J.J. McCarthy and Drake Maye.<\/p>\n

Though it’s just been the lone season where Tagovailoa has played in and started all 17 games for the Dolphins thus far, the 27-year-old led the league in passing during that 2023 campaign. Tagovailoa racked up an NFL-best 4,624 passing yards and had 29 touchdowns against 14 interceptions in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Like many Miami fans, CBS needs to see it to believe it.
