now let me preface this by saying at this point Tannehill probably is the best route to go....there's only one problem....
WE'RE NOT GUARANTEED TO GET HIM!!!!!
hello? are you guys paying attention? Cleveland picks 4th, they need a QB just as bad as we do. if they take him, then what do we do?
this is where those meaningless losses in the 2nd half of the season are coming back to bite us in the ass, the same fans who are disappointed that we're whiffing on all these QBs are probably the same myopic fans who said "i want to win this meaningless week 14 game, lets worry about the draft and our position to finally acquire a franchise QB later!"
well guess what, 6 wins not only took us out of the running for Luck and RG3, but now we might not even be able to get the 3rd best prospect in the draft...unless we trade up. and even then we're at a disadvantage, browns would only have to move up 1 spot to secure Tannehill, minnesota would definitely rather take #4 and a 2nd rounder from CLE than #8 and a 2nd rounder from us. and we're not gonna win a bidding war against Cleveland if they feel like Tannehill is their last chance at a franchise QB, especially when they just got outbid by Wash for RG3.
bottom line is there is no simple route to go, meaningless wins late in the year + an inept front office = everything becoming a huge obstacle.
