Cam Newton fires back at Tua Tagovailoa with 'Anybody can go 0-3' response in war of words

Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins are 0-3 following their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Colin Cowherd asks where the Dolphins should go from here.

There is a new chapter in the Cam Newton-Tua Tagovailoa saga.

Tagovailoa responded to Newton’s earlier criticism, saying, "Well, anybody can play quarterback in this league then," while dismissing football pundits in a press conference Thursday. Newton clapped back Friday. 

"Anybody can go 0-3," Newton said during ESPN’s "First Take" on Friday.

"When I see the situation that’s taken place in Miami, it’s more ‘Love Island’ drama than football," Newton said, "And, in large part, I wouldn’t say it’s all on Tua, but it is a main ingredient, and I just know what he’s capable of."

Newton cited how much Tagovailoa makes to highlight his past success. 

"There (were) times we’ve seen Tua Tagovailoa, and it was at a high level. You don’t make $53 million … by just being a random on the street," Newton said. 

Newton encouraged Tagovailoa to trust his wide receivers.

"Let it rip," Newton said. "When you have Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill and Mike McDaniel as your coach, you have all the assets and amenities. You have once shown that you’re capable. I don’t know what this is in Miami now."

Newton’s comments on ESPN’s "First Take" were in response to Tagovailoa mentioning him by name during a press conference Thursday.
