I've had a chance to see Tua [Tagovailoa] throw the ball, to myself, but. . . . he's that dude, bro," Hill said. "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 co-host, Julius Collins, then asked Hill who has the stronger arm, Tua or Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes?
"Obviously, like I'm gonna go with 15 as the strongest arm but as far as accuracy-wise, I'm going with Tua all day," Hill said.
"So which one would you rather have, the deep ball where you gotta scramble around the field to try to go find it, or do you want that accuracy to hit you breadbasket on the run?" Collins asked Hill.
"I want it to hit me right in the breadbasket, just like I did in the Buffalo Bills game and take it 70," Hill said. "And the rest is history."
Hill added that his game in Miami will consist of a lot more than tracking long throws.
"I love the deep ball, but guess what though? I done expanded my game," Hill said. "So now I'm doing a lot more than just the deep ball now. I'm doing intermediate routes. I'm doing short routes. So now I actually need a guy who can just get me the ball now, on a dagger route, on a corner route, on a shallow cross route. You know, right now, right in my chest. So I can do the rest. I make you look good now."
Obviously this is Tua and Mahomes and not Mac and Trey. Only posted it fir the highlighted. I'm curious how many other WRs feel this way.
Idk, Mac got completely roasted by a big armed athletic QB twice down the stretch, including an embarrassing thrashing in the playoffs.
Obviously a wr will prefer someone that can get them the ball. I think every WR, if they're being honest, prefers a big arm QB. It's not that it means EVERY throw is a deep bomb, but when you have an arm like guys such as Allen, herb, etc. it's going to open things up.
When you have an arm that isn't elite, you're going to have issues. This is part (not only, part) of why Mac got completely demolished down the stretch. However, a guy like burrow (who doesn't have an elite arm imo) made the sb.
For Mac, he needs elite playmakers around him or he will always top out as a one and done (at best). Pats have done him 0 favors this offseason and I think most would agree they go into the season as the #3 team in the afc east.
