Bad news for Dolphins’ fans: Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa admits to Josh Allen’s superiority: “I can’t do half of what he does”

The Buffalo Bills have enjoyed a perfect start to the new campaign with back-to-back victories over the Jets and the Ravens. Two results which leave Sean McDermott’s men top of the AFC East, as one of just four teams in the Conference with a 100 per cent record.

Much of that has been down to quarterback Josh Allen who has been in scintillating form since the regular season started. He led the Bills’ comeback against the Ravens on Sunday, as the team clawed their back from a 16-point deficit. Allen threw for 394 yards on 33-of-46 passing with a couple of touchdown tosses.

Miami still looking for their first win

On Thursday, the Bills welcome the Dolphins to Highmark Stadium - an opponent who have yet to win during the new season. The Dolphins opened the campaign with an embarrassing 33-8 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts.

Tua Tagovailoa struggled against the Colts, completing just 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards. He leads Miami’s stats with 429 passing yards, three interceptions and three touchdowns.

Tagovailoa spoke to the media ahead of Thursday’s game and his gushing remarks about his opposite number Josh Allen raised an eyebrow or two.

“He’s top tier. If it’s not with his arm, it’s with his legs. That dude can do literally anything he wants. Definitely different skill set for me. I can’t do half of what he does when it comes to running the ball and any of that. And then, with how he can just chuck a ball down the field, with the arm strength he has. He’s supreme when it comes to that,” Tua said. “It’s gonna to be fun, get to see him get to play him again, and we’ll see”.

Tua too complimentary about Josh Allen

Those comments, from a player who is regarded as one of the best QBs in the league, have come as a surprise to many. First Take host Stephen A. Smith says Dolphins fans won’t be happy to hear their star QB talk that way about a rival.

“If I was the Miami Dolphins front office, I’d be peeved! Did you say that when we were evaluating you coming into the National Football League? Did you say that in the interview process? This can’t be true about the Draft. If you’re talking about Josh Allen like that, there’s a couple of people that have his arm talent. Even though Josh Allen is special.

“To say that about about another quarterback within your division, you ain’t giving me much of a chance to believe in you,” he argued.
