In an episode of his podcast “It Needed to Be Said,” Hill likened the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins to Patrick Mahomes, a former teammate of his in Kansas City. He said, “Obviously, like I’m gonna go with 15 as the strongest arm but as far as accuracy-wise, I’m going with Tua all day.” After which, the Kansas City supporters were upset because they had been under the impression that Hill would never change his mind on Mahomes.
Why did Tyreek take Tua’s side?

The reason behind Tyreek Hill taking Tua Tagovailoa’s side was because of the major stats that were tallied with Patrick Mahomes’ stats from last season. In addition to being fifth in the NFL in QBR last season with a 62.2, Tagovailoa was 18th with a 49.7. Their completion rates were close, with Mahomes’ 66.3% falling short of Tagovailoa’s 67.8%.
The fact that Tagovailoa had a completion percentage above the expectation of +0.9% compared to Mahomes’ -2.1% supports Hill’s claim that the quarterback for the Dolphins is a more accurate passer.
