"The ceiling is too low" - Skip Bayless explains why Dolphins will never fully embrace Tua 

The topic of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins was discussed on the Fox Sports 1 show Undisputed.

Co-host and sports personality Skip Bayless stated that Tagovailoa is more liked than beloved by players in the Dolphins locker room because his ceiling is too low:

"I think he's liked in the locker room. Maybe not beloved, but liked. The reason he's not beloved is because he can't back it up on the field. So it's hard for the locker room to embrace him because they see the flaws. They see the ceiling is low for him, because he is what was the report that ESPN report was he had six different surgeries at Alabama. I think it's six or maybe even seven. It shook his confidence. Never had the biggest star but did give to throw to a track team of receivers. You got another track team. And again, he'll compete he'll do the best he can but the ceiling is too low."

The Dolphins drafted Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama. He started nine games for Miami in his rookie season, throwing for 1,814 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Tagovailoa started 12 games in the 2021 NFL season, throwing for 2,653 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

He suffered fractured ribs during the Week 2 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills. Tagovailoa was placed on IR and missed three games.

The quarterback missed the Week 9 game against the Houston Texans because of a minor fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand.
