Tyreek Hill: “As Far As Accuracy-Wise, I’m Going With Tua All Day”

New Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill fawned over his new quarterback’s accuracy at the expense of his former teammate.

One of the biggest moves in an offseason full of unprecedented player movement was the trade that sent All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins.

Since arriving in Miami, Hill has done plenty of heavy lifting to praise his new quarterback, Tua Tagovoiloa, and in the most recent example, he did so at the expense of his former teammate, Patrick Mahomes.

“I’ve had a chance to see Tua throw the ball, to myself, but he’s that dude, bro,” Hill said this past week on ‘It Needed To Be Said’ Podcast. “Like, what a lot of people don’t know, like, I’m not just sitting just saying this because he’s my quarterback now. . . . like, I’m not trying to get more targets right now, but what I’m trying to say is Tua is that deal, bro… Bro, he has a heck of an arm, bro. He’s accurate. He can throw the deep ball, and he actually goes through his reads, where people are like on Twitter like saying, ‘Oh, he doesn’t go through his reads.’ Man, this dude is that dude.”

Hill’s comments are likely going to rub Chiefs fans the wrong way but the reality is, it’s highly doubtful he believes Tua is the better overall quarterback… just the more accurate one. Hill did emphasize that he felt Mahomes had the stronger arm of the two but he feels his abilities will be far better utilized with Tua as his quarterback.

“I want it to hit me right in the breadbasket, just like I did in the Buffalo Bills game and take it 70,” Hill added. “And the rest is history.”

Tua’s potential has yet to be realized so who knows where he will ultimately find himself among the quarterback hierarchy. One thing is for certain, he has a long way to go if he wants to deliver the same way Mahomes has for Hill in Kansas City. With a new regime in Miami, the hope is that Hill is going to help him realize that potential sooner rather than later.

In 61 games with Mahomes, Hill averaged 81 yards per game with 53 touchdowns. In 31 games without Mahomes, Hill has gone for just 57 yards per game and has found the endzone just 13 times.
