Just out of curiosity, is "conversation rate" the speed at which you and a few other posters try to find ways to post negative things about Tannehill?
Nick Foles gave hints he could lead a Super Bowl team. Has Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill?

No, it's the speed at which you and a few other posters whine about critical opinions about Tannehill.

I'd be curious what our average yards to go on 3rd down was, and where it stood with the rest of the league. Because I am sure it goes without saying that the distance to go directly would impact our conversation rate....and that passer rating is probably a more effective individual measure of 3rd down performance than conversion rate.
I actually thought that was kinda lighthearted and funny. But to your point, I'm sure you're getting tired of the negative feedback, but that's literally almost the only thing you do is take shots at him. What do you expect?

That's team conversion rate.
Conversion rate is on the whole offense. Stop blaming everything on the best player on the offense.

No it's not lol. Because a QB can easily fatten up his QB rating with conservative and short throws behind the sticks.
Which guys like Alex Smith and Ryan Tannehill do A LOT.
Now obviously, more context is required when assessing these matters like down and distance, but the Dolphins have consistently been bad at situational football in the Ryan Tannehill era.

We've been at the bottom of the league every year in the Ryan Tannehill era. You have to put 2 and 2 together at some point, playa.
So clearly with Tannehill out last season, the rate shot up, right playa? He was the reason right? RIGHT?

Ryan Tannehill is Mr. Irrelevant according to his apologists around here. He can't do this or that because everyone else sucks.

Jay Cutler is worse. You've got no argument from me, there!
Actually it's the old "empty barrels make the most noise" adage. If you dropped out of space and started reading some of these threads, you'd think that the 70% majority were the posters who did NOT believe in Tannehill; not the 8% who absolutely don't LOL

I voted on the fence, so there must be more than 8%!

Conversion rate for all teams is impacted by the yardage to go. Conversion rates 1-3 yards worse than 4-6 worse than 7-10 worse than 10+.
So it is key to be proficient on first down and leave yourself manageable down and distance. And also avoid negative plays like sacks.
