He collected 3,546 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns. As a former University of Alabama standout, Tagovailoa was becoming a star under Mike McDaniel and some had him in the Most Valuable Player conversation for the National Football League. Multiple concussions sidelined him for the rest of the 2022 season, but Miami’s front office had positive news regarding his future. McDaniel expects to work with Tagovailoa as the starter next season, and so does general manager Chris Grier.
Dolphins GM Chris Grier reiterates that Tua is the team’s starting quarterback.

Dolphins brass has been very clear QB Tua Tagovailoa will be their 2023 starter & he’ll be 100% healthy to do it. It appears no QB uncertainty in Miami this offseason.
Mike McDaniel did say they’d work with/coach Tua this offseason on improving the way he falls to the ground.
