As for the notion that Ryan Tannehill is not good enough to lead the Dolphins to a championship, there is little reason to give it any credence. He has already displayed more than enough talent to do so. As the chart below highlights, he has a higher career passer rating than 22 of the 31 QBs who have won a Super Bowl. Tannehill’s critics will, no doubt, argue that passer rating is not a particularly accurate measure in this case because the game has changed drastically since the dawn of the Super Bowl era. Well, there is certainly no doubt the sport has evolved, but the formula used to calculate a QB’s efficiency has remained unchanged since 1973. Moreover, the league statisticians then went back and applied it to the careers of quarterbacks who played before that date. Thus, it has been the best and only constant measure throughout the modern era of the game.
