Great write-up, Digital. I really think Ryan Tannehill just needs to take off where he ended last season. As you noted, after the first six games he played exceptionally well. Tannehill was a big reason Miami won 10 games.
I'm not ready to compare him with Tom Brady, but I also wouldn't be surprised inf Tannehill ended up in the top 10 for quarterback rating this season. He probably compares better to Matt Ryan and where he was in year six.
Loved your point on Brady continuing to improve. I know when he entered the league he was more of a game manager and his deep arm was questionable. Can't deny the guy has worked hard to get better. His ball placement, in particular, is among the best I've ever seen.
When it comes to best ever, I have a problem with that. I think Aaron Rodgers has better attributes. He can make plays on the move, keep plays alive with his athletic ability and has an insanely accurate deep game. Brady is great, but I just think there are better quarterbacks than him despite the amazing run of championships.
Ya well done Digital!!!
I also agree that he's been getting better every year and now with some stability he should flourish.
No more days of hartline, bess, and gibson lol Landry, Parker, Stills, Julius, and Ajayi along with a premiere LT keeping his blindside safe, will elevate tannehill's game.
IMO he needs to take more risks with the talented receivers we have.
He has all the physical attributes you look for with being able to make any throw on the run or in the pocket.
When he actually has a couple seconds to get rid of the ball, he's had fantastic games.
I agree with you that Aaron Rodgers is a better QB than brady and the best I've ever seen.
The SB was his coming out party where he made throws that looked unbelievable.
I remember saying "I have never seen the a SB Steelers Defense get torn up this bad"
He is the Packers where if Brady went down they would be more than likely win the division than if Aaron went down.
If Rodgers were a Patriot, I believe it wouldn't be fair.
I hate brady yet recognize his greatness. As for being a better player, I gotta give it to A-rod.
Rodgers has the best Qb rating of all time (104.1 rating, 65% Comp, 297 tds, 72 ints, 25 rushing tds 2x MVP, has 36 tds and 10 ints in the playoffs. That's unreal. Only two seasons with double digit Ints 13, 11 lol
Brady is obviously ridiculous. I just think Rodgers is the better player.
