A successful year for Tua Tagovailoa won’t look like Burrow or Herbert’s

What would qualify as a successful rookie season for Tua Tagovailoa?

The 2020 rookie quarterback class is set in stone. And Tua Tagovailoa will be judged this year very differently than Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow.

Tagovailoa isn’t going to be judged by the same metrics as the other rookie quarterbacks.

And just to clarify, I’m not including Jordan Love. He’s not going to see the field this year, and it could be several years before he gets his chance.
