Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores confirmed Wednesday that rookie Tua Tagovailoa will be the team's starting quarterback moving forward.
Flores said the Dolphins feel that starting Tagovailoa is what's best for the team, citing the rookie's performance in meetings, walkthroughs and practices.
"He's gotten more comfortable -- accuracy, decision-making have been good in practice. ... We're comfortable and confident that he'll be able to competitive in those games when that time comes," Flores said.
Flores also noted that he was disappointed that he didn't address the QB change with the team before ESPN and other outlets reported Tuesday that Tagovailoa would replace popular veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick.
