Tua Tagovailoa's 'most likely' season outcome for Falcons would be disappointing
This outcome for the Falcons and Tagovailoa would be very underwhelming.
The Atlanta Falcons' quarterback situation for the 2026 season appears to be heading for a disappointing outcome, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. The team signed Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year contract this offseason, hoping to use him as the starter after still not ready Michael Penix Jr. Graziano predicts that Tagovailoa would likely start the season, but his health and performance would be a major concern.
Once Penix Jr. is healthy, it's most likely that he would be slotted in as the starter, barring Tagovailoa performing exceptionally well. Tagovailoa's poor performance with the Dolphins, including 15 interceptions and a low 88.5 passer rating, along with Penix's potential for improvement, suggests that the Falcons could be in for a tough season at the quarterback position.
