It’s almost impressive how terrible Tua Tagovailoa has become. Falcons training camp began with Tua locked in as QB1, and then a chasm of space to Michael Penix Jr, who hasn’t been able to practice because he’s hurt — yet somehow Tagovailoa managed to lose the job to nobody.

In a surprising turn of events, Tua Tagovailoa has seen his starting quarterback position with the Atlanta Falcons taken away by none other than his teammate, Michael Penix Jr. The team's decision to sideline Tagovailoa stemmed from his dismal preseason performances, which have left the coaching staff with no choice but to await Penix's recovery before making the move.

His poor play, such as an ill-advised throw resulting in a pick-six, has left him in the unenviable position of being a mere No. 2 option. With Penix Jr. stepping up and showcasing his talent, it seems that the era of Tagovailoa as the Falcons' starting quarterback has come to a close.
