Need I go on?
Doesn't matter. He played at a small school and went to the NFL and stunk. I don't care where he signed with originally he played college ball at a small school
Armando has it wrong this time. No one can tell me that Billy Turner would have performed any worse than Dallas Thomas last year.
I also think carries that should have gone to Damien Williams were wasted on Daniel Thomas. In fact, I would have kept Orleans Darkwa over Thomas in the first place.
I don't think the issue was that the kids were small school players as much as some guys need a year of NFL weight training. It happens with kids from bigger schools too.
philbin started a less than 20 college starts rookie qb his first year as hc so i think the won't play rookies is overblown...although i do think that he goes with what he's familiar with/trust from a camp setting on pretty much and doesn't much deviate or adjust to the actual field results in season
But wasn't Tannehill sort of forced into action when the Veteran QB we signed got hurt during camp and it was between Tannehill and Matt Moore? I forget the dudes name, I know he was a Black guy though.
