In the preseason, Devlin showed he had the same skill that Tannehill has right now in getting to the goalline and not scoring.
You never answered my serious questions about why Devlin the last time you posted this same suggestion in preseason.I knew this would get your panties in a bunch. I know that you know so much about football because you didn't waste your time playing football, but instead spent countless long hours studying others playing and listening to what others say. There is no way that you will be convinced until you see it for yourselves, so just wait and see, and remember you heard it here first.

You have advocated for him early in preseason - even before he had his good showings against non-starters. How long have you been following him and are you basing this opinion on something besides this year's preseason games?
How can you suggest with what you have seen that he should be playing ahead of RT?
I know I"m going to take a lot of heat from all the people who know really what they are talking about, but it would really be nice to have a chance to win this year. I don't care about Ireland keeping his job, nor do I really want to gamble again for another 2 or 3 years in the hopes that we have our quarterback.
We know that Devlin will be able to keep us in the game, and not lose it for us. He will have much better decision making, he will move the ball, complete passes, and not throw many ints, batted balls, and sacks. Contrary to poplular opinion, he is more experienced and ready than Tannehill right now.
I know it is early, and I know it won't happen because of Ireland's agenda, but I'm just saying...

I don't remember what you question was, but College carreer speaks for itself. Also outplayed all our other qbs in minimal pre-season opportunities, if you watched the preseason. He has moved the ball the length of the field on 4 out of his 7 possessions played. Tannehill got to the redzone only 4 times out of all his posessions in the preseason. You say he only played agaisnt 2s and 3s, but that's all he was given, it doesn't mean that he would have been worse against 1s. Besides, he was working with 2s and 3s offensive line and receivers who couldn't get space. Matt Moore was even better against 1s than 2s and 3s.
I'm not saying he should be playing in front of Tannehill (a hefty price was paid for him), I'm just saying that we do better and win a lot more games if he was.
But don't worry, hopefully Tannehill will win us more games than Henne, maybe; and even if Philbin would like to play Devlin, he won't with Ireland running him.
