Hey frosty i deleted part of your post. Discuss the subject at hand and do not go after your fellow posters. That goes for everyone.
The same people who bash Omar for having an "agenda" against Tannehill are citing statistics used by him in articles to prove that Tannehill is some how awesome when his offensive line plays well. The irony is palpable.

Tannehill 6-1 in 2014 VS.
Chicago - 5-11 WIN
Jacksonville - 3-13 WIN
San Diego - 9-7 WIN
Greenbay - 12-4 LOSS
2015
Washington - 9-7 WIN
Tenn. - 3-13 WIN
Houston - 9-7 WIN
Hard to have an agenda when you stick to the facts. It is a rare occurrence, but it does happen. The record and stats from those 7 games are FACTS.
Houston and Tenn were the 3rd and 7th ranked pass defenses last season. Washington was 25th. San Diego, Greenbay, Jax, and Chi were 4th, 10th, 22nd, and 30th in 2014.
So what your saying is. If the oline stays healthy all season long, we will win 6 games out of every 7 games played and Tannehill will have top 10 stats? I don't think top 10, there are a lot of QB's that are good in this league. Maybe 11-14 range.
The interpretation of those facts is the problem, not the facts themselves.
Going 6-1 over a small sample size does not equal what we've seen the last 4 years.
Here's the thing...
He's already been a top 15 QB, so he has already shown he should be a starter in the NFL...this notion of "top 10 or still be worried" is so far from a reality that is should not be said. Out side of your top five guys...the movement of "qb ranking" varies from year to year. Rarely is any QB consistent enough (outside of those top 5) to be in the top 10 year after year. Flacco, Ryan, E. Manning...all range from as high as 6 to as low as 20 depending to the past season.
I swear...it is as if no one watches anything but the Dolphins.
I disagree that 7 games is too small a sample size.
Even if you disagreed with the sample size, which is ridiculously small compared to the 57 other games (FACT: 57 games > 7 games) hes played in, does Miami really want a QB that needs to have everything perfect around him to succeed at a high level?
I'm comfortable saying the guy isn't good enough to take this team where it needs to be.
You make a good case that in a perfect scenario with a healthy line the QB plays better. i don't think anyone can dispute that however you can not count on that happening.
With a healthy oline, Tannehill would be competing with QB's 11-15 on this list.
1. Aaron Rodgers QB / Green Bay Packers
2. Tom Brady QB / New England Patriots
