I think it's funny that people think Tua only played one half of football last year. There's a reason people kept saying he was going to take Jalen's job. He played several halves of football last year, and did things most QB's can't do in just about every one of them.
He's going to make mistakes. But, he's also going to be a star.

yep
Tua proved himself very well all year long, every chance he got. There were those that said "yeah, but he accomplished all that when the other team was already beaten." in spite of the fact that he was often playing against the same defense, and immediately produced when Hurts did not.
Then, the beaten team in the national title game was Alabama. In the first half, the offense couldn't move the ball, which was typical of Jalen Hurts vs good defenses. Tua comes in the 2nd half and totally turns the game around. In case you didn't notice, the entire team, defense included, played better with him in the game because they knew that, now, they had a chance to win this game.
In fact, Tagovailoa was better during the season than Jalen Hurts and Jarrett Stidham.
Only 2 interceptions, and threw a td pass every 7 attempts. 175 qb rating. LINK
Hurts threw a td about every 15 attempts. 150.2 qb rating. LINK
Stidham threw a td about every 20.5 attempts. Qb rating of 151. LINK
So you can claim that Tua's accomplishments during the season were because he wasn't under pressure, or you can claim that his accomplishments were only in a half of football, but you can't claim both.
