Hugh? His 4th season was better than anything Tannehill has ever done.
And thanks to ISS for bring up Brees and furthering my point. Sample size is now 3 for 3
Brees went from 67 passer rating to over 100 when threatened with Rivers joining the team.
Sample size is now 4 for 4
Peyton Manning raised his passer rating 14 points the season Osweiler was drafted.
These guys need to be challenged to play at their best IMO.
Thoughts?!?Alex Smith to the Redskins is a pretty surprising move. And it's one that could affect the Dolphins. Now with Cousins set to become a free agent do we try to make a run at him? IMO it would be awesome to have him but of course pricey.
Even if we don't sign him I think this still helps us. If a qb needy team drafting ahead of us signs Cousins then that makes one available for us in the draft.
Thoughts?
I don't see why you can't understand. When a QB isn't challenged and has a free ride his play will tend to drop. When faced with the real possibility of being replaced they step up their play. It has happened 4 times recently. And it certainly did have an effect.
You laugh at Osweiler, But Peyton was coming off neck surgery and Broncos didn't even know if he could still play. The drafting of Osweiler gave Peyton a short runway to get his game back to top level. He responded.
Brees was crap. They drafted Rivers and all of sudden he became good with the fear that he was going to loose his job to Rivers.
Smith average, but pushed to the top of the league when facing loosing his gig.
Brady great but not able to dominate for 10 years, draft a replacement and he wins 2 more Super Bowls.
Laugh all you want. If you think you can't be replaced you will perform at a lesser level IMO. And there are 4 cases that support my theory.

Both QB's rating went up over 10 points when threatened. You can believe what you want. To me it made a difference.
Based on Brees' performance up to that point, they had little choice.

Was going to post the same thing. That and the definition of coincidence.Correlation vs. Causation. Look it up. Likely to be of value to you beyond our boards here....
