To everyone who wants to Blame Tannehill

Ask yourself why this QB fas failed to generate 30 points in all but ONE complete game since he got here.

that's like giving Chad Pennington credit for hanging 38 points in a game against the Pats, in New England, (hint: wildcat game) ... when Ronnie Brown scored most of the points in that game.

But, you know, great non-point by you.

And you know why they bust out the wildcat offense, because of the shortcomings of the QB position.

People here think Pennington was the sole reason this team made it to the playoffs. The wildcat offense run by Ricky and Ronnie which surprised teams had more to that playoff appearance more than anything.

Watch the play again. Wallace made 2 adjustments to the ball, the first one was wrong and then he tried to make a second correction. That's on him. Tannehill was hit as he threw the ball and still got it roughly 70 yards down field and put it on Wallace's hands. Wallace has to make that catch. Period.

If Tannehill gets the ball out of there with ANTICPATION and hits Wallace as he's wide open we're not even talking about the adjustments he had to make. I mean Wallace was streaking wide open towards the middle of the field for a good 20 yards after he burned his DB.

That's one of the areas they need Tanny to work on, anticipating. He's very reactionary in his release, which is why most of those deep balls are contested and/or behind receivers.

Bottom line end result of the throw: In the hands of the WR, who still drops the ball...

There is no "bottom line". There are factors for why that play evolved as it did. Wallace had to twist and turn two times to adjust, sending him off balance and let's be honest - this is Wallace we're talking about here. When has he ever made that kind of catch for us? This guy only knows how to catch with his body.

Both Tanny and Wallace were at fault for a play which should've netted a TD. Tanny for waiting to long to throw the pass and Wallace for not bringing it in when it was in his hands. This is typical of this offense though. They don't do it the easy way ...... even when the WR is streaking WIDE FREAKING OPEN, we find some way to throw the more difficult pass.

I agree but the QB isn't the only factor in getting points.

Luck scored 30 against Tennessee but he was responsible for ONE touchdown. Football is a team sport, no a singular sport.

Perspective, not a garbage one liner.

Nah bro. That throw was there to be had. The mistake on that pass was clearly on wallace. Wallace even states in his post game interview that he made a bad adjustment and then tried to re adjust to the ball. In the end even with his bad adjustment he still had a game winning pass slip through his hands. That again is on Wallace.

Dont want to believe me hear it from Wallace's own lips.

Also the fact that Tanny was even able to get enough mustard on the ball to get it there as he was being leveled has got to be taken into consideration. Unless your next argument is that we shouldn't expect Wallace to catch any pass other than those that are thrown perfectly.

Tannehill is just an average QB. His YPA in the 2nd half was garbage. There are better options in the 2014 draft. I believe if we roll with Tannehill in 2014, we'll be making the same mistake that we made with Henne in 2011 (Yes, I agree Tannehill is better than Henne, but that doesn't mean much since 90% of the league is better than Henne). Don't hold out for something that just isn't there.

So his YPA wasn't a reflection of them not being able to run the ball AGAIN and him having to manufacture yards so not to be in 3 and long all the time?

So, it's ok to make excuses for Wallace but not for Tannehill? Agenda much?
 
Tannehill and Wallace need to practice together more and maybe go to a few nudie bars together, then maybe we'll see them start to click.
 
Both the QB and the receiver have to do their job, and be on the same page. They're not. There's nothing wrong with Wallace, just as there was nothing wrong with Marshall. We have a raw QB who is learning his job. I thought both Wallace and Tannehill had good games Sunday, but it wasn't good enough because we lost. I do put more responsibility on the QB though, because Wallace is just one guy, just one receiver, he can't throw the ball to himself or call his own plays. Tannehill and Sherman control the offense. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand football.
 
Tannehill is holding his own so far given the shoddy run game and offensive line. Props to him for being able to survive so many hits this season as well.

Sitting in trafic on north bound turnpike. RT in person is not very impressive, had wide open field in front of him and could have run at least five times for a lot of yardage and really helped the non existing running game. Made some horrible throws, still not reading the field.

He was our LEADING RUSHER.

Want him to catch the passes he throws? Want him to return kicks?
 
bottom line is since 2004 never met teams that find way to lose even when they are up. team give dolphins 10 point and still win the game
