Tua Tagovailoa may be less divisive after Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins quarterback overcame some early mistakes against the Baltimore Ravens and was great in the second half, leading a 42-38 comeback win.

Tagovailoa shut up his critics by throwing for 469 yards and six touchdown. The main beneficiaries were Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

His critics were angry after his first two turnovers.

If you can't see that Tua ain't it, you're a Dolphins homer.

How many more games and terrible throws will it take? Just call Tua what he is, a mediocre QB that holds back an offense. Miami needs a real QB.

Jonas Shaffer @jonas_shaffer

Every Tua pass beyond 20 yards feels as long as a commercial break.

Tua throwing a “catchable ball” is the “you have nice eyes” of QB compliments

He went sicko in the second half and was given flowers for his performance by the social networking site.

Y'all gon' give Tua his props for that TD throw?

Tua Tagovailoa 48-yard touchdown deep over the middle to Tyreek Hill, but they'll still say Hill had to slow down for it.

This is the kind of stuff that makes you not give up on Tua Tagovailoa. He still has so much growth to go through. His type of QB takes longer to develop, I keep saying it.

Valley Boys Sports @VBSofficial_

Tua’s been good today honestly. Just some growing pains in the new offense which we all expected.

Will Manso @WillManso

Tua has definitely showed resiliency today. Love to see this kind of response. He’s made some big time throws.

Judy Battista @judybattista

Tua with a hell of a second half.

TUANON rise up

A Tagovailoa performance has often been a mirror into the preconceived notions fans brought into the contest. People think he's the quarterback. A similar script was followed throughout the day.

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds

Due to supply chain issues outside of our control, each tweeter is limited to no more than five (5) Tua hot takes for the remainder of this game.

We regret any inconvenience.

The good was more important in Baltimore. The narrative turned in his favor. That will be accomplished by six scores.

The Dolphins needed every single one of them to beat Lamar Jackson, who was absolutely brilliant.

Tua was crowned the new king. He proved to his doubters that he still has something to offer. The Dolphins are 2-0
