This play is a great example as to why "deep accuracy" should be thought of as more a function of the receiver than QB
Tua's ball goes over the wrong shoulder, Hill adjusts, gets under the ball and catches it for a 60 yard TD
Average receiver does not catch this ball

For those who work with data, this is also speaks to the limitations of using stuff like season-to-season correlation to measure the ability of stats to isolate individual performance
Tua's deep accuracy *is* sticky year-to-year because the receiving core is largely the same

Not that it's a bad approach, just that it's limited
The more you cut the data, the riskier it gets

Dolphins fans are already using this as an example of Tua being the best deep ball thrower in the game, too late

Tyreek said he ran the wrong route (post instead of a skinny post). For those of you that actually listen to what the players say over some guy.

Tyreek is one of the best I’ve ever seen at tracking the ball in the air

Yeah that’s why after the game Tyreek said Tua did put the ball on the right spot 🤡

For what it’s worth.
Tyreek Hill said he initially thought Tua was wrong on their 60-yard touchdown — he even went back to the sideline and told him he can’t throw the ball like that.
Tua insisted he put it where it was supposed to be. They watched the tape. Tyreek agreed.

How do you make this assessment without knowing what the playcall was?
Turns out, it was the wrong route and correct throw.

The ball went to the right spot. Stick to the numbers instead of making incorrect assumptions of film.
Tyreek Hill said that, on his second TD catch, he thought Tua Tagovailoa threw to the wrong spot. But when he watched the replay, Hill realized his route was wrong.

Its funny cause when its Tua/Tyreek, the assumption is Tua threw it over the wrong shoulder. Mahomes missed a deep ball last week and it was receiver ran the wrong route.
The bias comes out when people make assumptions without any accurate information.

Also Tua throws the ball BEFORE Tyreek leaks inside, with anticipation.
People who are clueless about QB play think, WR open throw there!
But good QBs throw to spots, throw based on coverage, etc. That is what Tua excels at and why casuals don't understand his greatness.

hi robby,
@cheetah
has a message for you
Bad take I ran my route wrong Tua threw that ball exactly where I was suppose to be . He noticed my angle put enough air time on it just to give me time to adjust 🥹

Why does everything Tua does that’s good have to be microanalyzed to the point y’all just start trying to throw stats away? And every single one of you “data workers” do it. It’s incredibly weird.
