the qb is the leader of the offense. as the qb goes, so goes the offense. good qb play= good offensive unit play. poor qb play= bad offensive unit play.
take for example last year with this team, do u think its just a coincidence that when matt moore replaced henne, the same slowly started to looked a lot better as a whole? why? bc moore was a significant upgrade to chad henne, and the team improved dramatically from what it had been with henne.
when tannehill was playing well at the beggining of the season, we were scoring more, have longer sustained drives, which led to a well rested defense, and a better overall team performance.
however, since the 2nd half of the indy game, our qb play has stunk, which has led to an entire offensive collapse for the most part, bc as the qb play regresses, so does the entire offense as a whole.
i understand hes a rookie, but in this day and age, rookies can come in and play well right away. no one is criticizing him because he is not taking us to a Superbowl this year, but its because he looks far from the qb he did in the 1st 7 games.
i hope he improves next year because the dolphins are pinning there future hope on tannehill, and if he is a failure, we will just be irrelevant for many more years to come. im not giving up hope yet, im just stating what i have seen.
