Tua Tagovailoa ‘has similarities to Steve Young’ and people need to be patient, according to David Carr

He has his critics, but Tua Tagovailoa also has people supporting him too.

David Carr, a former quarterback in the National Football League, is one of the supporters. Carr, an alumnus of Fresno State University, played 11 seasons in the NFL — including two stints with the New York Giants. He was signed to the Giants in 2011 as a backup to Eli Manning and assisted the team to a Super Bowl title that season. Carr did not have the greatest career in the pros; however, he knows what it takes to succeed. As an analyst for NFL Network, he is not ready to write off Tagovailoa after one year.
