Heading into Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the league, with head coach Mike McDaniel having this team on the right track and potentially ready to do some damage once the NFL playoffs get underway.
At this point, the Dolphins are going to win the AFC East division title and will be a legitimate Super Bowl title contender once the postseason begins, which has led to superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill wanting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to get more credit on the national stage.
Hill believes that Tagovailoa is the most underrated quarterback in the NFL, and he may have a point, but those comments have come with a bit of backlash, namely from former NFL star James Jones of FOX Sports.
Jones believes that Tagovailoa hasn’t beaten anyone of note yet and doesn’t get treated the same way that Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys does, via “Speak” on FS1.

Prescott and Tagovailoa shouldn’t be in the same discussion for a couple of different reasons, as these situations can’t be compared equally.
First of all, Prescott has been in the league much longer than Tagovailoa and is playing for the most popular team in the NFL, which will always come with much more scrutiny than any other team in the league.
Prescott gets treated the way he has because of the pressure that comes with being the Cowboys starting quarterback and the fact that he hasn’t won anything while in that position.
As for Tagovailoa, he’s only been a starter for a couple of years and is already in a position to pass Prescott in terms of success on the field.
