Joe Schad: "cut Ryan Tannehill? Hah. Miami Dolphins Are Blessed To Have His Contract."

The offensive line is perfectly within the normal range. I'll laugh at anyone who doesn't understand that.

This is delusional. Forgot about Tannehill and just think about this comment...…..

I am perfectly fine with Tannehill being gone and bringing in someone new. But the idea that you think our offensive line is performing at a normal level ridiculous. I'm actually laughing at you for saying this.....
 
O line play matters. I dont know how much evidence people need to see of it every week. But it matters a lot more than maybe it should when the qb offers nothing off script.

For example how many times you seen ryan buy time in the pocket on a 3rd and 15 plus when the reads are taken away early by the coverage but something uncover late cause of the qbs ability to keep a play alive and allow something to uncover?

If i have seen it i doubt ive seen it more than a handful of times. And not having that skill set as something in the tool box especially in this current high improvisation era of football and qb play well its a game changer
 
As I've posted several times, the offensive line is perfectly within the normal range.

The problem has always been the quarterback. If we continue to pretend that variance among a group of 5 lower paid lesser athletes is our morgue, as opposed to variance at one position that happens to be light years the most important position on the field, then we'll go nowhere and deserve it.

When the college game changed so dramatically the argument was that fewer pro quarterbacks would be available. It is exactly the opposite. More viable quarterbacks are available, with an interesting blend of pro style and athletic quarterbacks. Every year you can evaluate among the two varieties. Clemson had the athletic type in DeShaun Watson and now a more traditional pro type quarterback -- but with some movement skills -- in Trevor Lawrence. Other pro teams are learning to evaluate the two styles, and are taking risks. Many of those risks will connect.

If the Dolphins stand pat we'll be continually stuck and gradually realize that almost every team on the college and pro level complains about its offensive line. That position has declined in athletic ability while others have improved. Those guys have a tremendously varied responsibility in blocking for both run and pass. It is complicated teamwork involving switching off and recognizing blitz tendencies, etc. Often your help is from guys who don't actually help, like O'Leary and Drake.

Cleanse the quarterback position and it will be remarkable how everything rises alongside. We'll be in disbelief we ever wasted so many seasons with Ryan Tannehill.

While I think you’re completely wrong about the line, kudos to at least going on record with that position.
