Gary Danielson reveals the one critique he has of Tua Tagovailoa's game
By any measure, Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is having one of the best seasons of any college quarterback ever. He’s thrown 27 touchdowns and only one interception through 10 weeks.
However, he’d be the first to tell you that he’s not perfect, and on Monday, CBS analyst Gary Danielson discussed one of the biggest weaknesses to Tagovailoa’s game.
Appearing on “Three Man Front” on WJOX, Danielson said Tagovailoa tries some throws that won’t work in the NFL (via AL.com):
“The only criticism I have of Tua — and I think his game has to improve at the next level — is he’s loose with the football,” Danielson said. “He tries a lot of throws. When he gets to the NFL, much like (New Orleans quarterback) Drew Brees, (he’ll struggle). Drew struggles his first two or three years because throws he was trying at Purdue just didn’t work in the NFL. He was too loose with the ball. Now, you see how he’s re-shaped his game where he anticipates and throws the ball with care.
“That’s the next step for Tua. He lets it fly and makes risky throws. Tua, right now, has no conscious when he throws the ball. He just lets it go.”
Those risky throws have been working, but Danielson has a point about the NFL, where every secondary is elite.
For now, though, Tagovailoa is dominating the college game in a way we haven’t seen before, so let’s just enjoy the ride.
I see what he means. Sometimes it seems like Tua is just waving around the football like a rag doll, and occasionally he just flings it at the first sight of a window.
None of it really matters, though, because as of now he can fit it in stride into pretty much any window.
I noticed these experts don’t seem to want to mention what the results of the one, and only interception were. Tua isn’t perfect, I was very slow to throw Hurts under the bus. But this crow sure do taste good.
Gary…no one cares what you think. We heard “He has no conscious..” several times from you. He’s a sophmore, for crying out loud. You don’t seem to have a conscious either.
I know you’re just going off the quote, but I believe the word both you and the transcriber are looking for is “conscience”
Exactly. Emphasis added.
He’s just complimenting his ice-cold efficiency, as in he has no mercy for the other team or what have you.
One ? Gary has criticism non-stop, 24-7-365. He will attempt to explain away blown calls by speaking absolute B S when he feels that he need to spew something. One critique,,,,LOLOL that’s rich.
Is it just me or did he not make sense many times last Saturday?
I look forward to a world without Gary Danielson.
