Most of those intangibles are least in the control of the individual QB.
Leadership, and the like.
But perhaps the most significant of all is one he gets basically no say in: Coaching.
By way of example, I refer you back to that No.
Which brings us to Tua Tagovailoa.
“You see what I’m saying?
And that’s sort of what ended up happening.
Let’s hear how youreallyfeel.
First of all, I had no idea Brian Flores was like this.
I mean, he never came across as a real barrel of laughs.
But also smart and capable.
But this is exactly what Tagovailoa is describing.
Being the tough, sarcastic, hyper-critical coach is an art form unto itself.
And practically no people can pull it off.
It’s like being an Insult Comic.
Bill Parcells had a genius for it.
Without that dynamic, you’re just being an abrasive, abusive dick.
Which is certainly how Tua is describing Flores.
And the results since Mike McDaniel took over speak for themselves.
And by opening up this way and saying it publicly, Tagovailoa gets the last laugh.
Every franchise dying to find a QB they want to give $200-plus million to.
And these words probably just ended any chance Flores will ever get another shot.
