Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is experiencing a tough time this season, having suffered back-to-back concussions. He suffered two concussions in week 4 and week 16 of this season while playing against the Cincinnati Bengals and the Green Bay Packers.
Fans have previously voiced their concern regarding Tagovailoa’s health and how it is being undermined by the team and NFL. A recent remark from Dolphins GM Chris Grier on the player’s health condition has resulted in an outburst of criticism from the fans.
Chris Grier has stated that “Tua Tagovailoa is no more prone to concussions”. It did not go well with the fans, as they didn’t hold back from criticizing the GM on social media.
Dolphins GM Chris Grier doesn’t hesitate in saying Tua Tagovailoa is their starting QB next year. Mike McDaniel was similarly strong on the topic yesterday.

NFL reporter Cameron Wolfe twitted, “Grier said they fully expected Tua to be 100% healthy and ready to go as their QB next year.” Fans were dissatisfied with this statement and they let their disagreement be known to the world.
#Dolphins GM Chris Grier sais that Tua Tagovailoa is no more susceptible to concussions going forward that any other player.
Medically this just isn't true.
The more concussions a player has suffered, the more severe they are likely to get and the more likely they are to occur.

If there is anyone Tua should trust with his concussion issues, it’s the Dolphins training staff
They’ve certainly proven they’re capable of protecting him and making his health a priority 🙄
