2020 cant get here soon enough
There are many ways to skin a cat but personally I like what Pederson did. And I think Gase has missed his window on drafting the QB of the future.
Build Around Tannehill Or Make A Move At Quarterback?

I'll say this, I don't care who the quarterback is, but we should build around them.
And by 'build around them,' I mean certainly not whatever the hell we've been doing the last several years.

If they can get the right QB in this draft, then we may have Tannehills successor. I'd like a trade down to take a good QB prospect however my feeling tells me that Josh Allen will be somewhat successful. He has the physical gifts and he's one of the smartest QB's in the draft class based on the Wonderlic test scores. If Allen or Mayfield are not available, then it's Mason Rudolph who can be had with our 9th pick in the 3rd. After that our 31st pick in the 4th or any of our remaining picks won't land a QB worth drafting unless we get really lucky.
- Josh Allen: 37
- Josh Rosen: 29
- Sam Darnold: 28
- Baker Mayfield: 25
- Lamar Jackson: 13

And all those QBs are better than Tannehill. You must not watch much football to think he is better. No one anywhere would agree with you.
You know EVERY GM, SCOUT, and COACH????? Can you get me some autographs?
Oh, wait, were you just talking out of your butt?
Let me know.
This owner deserves a big f u from the fanbase for his past ten years. This team has done absolutely nothing under his ownership. It has been garbage coaching, garbage GMing, garbage results, garbage product, and a big part of that is Ryan Tannehill and other garbage quarterbacking.
Now, people say look at the 7-1. Let’s not throw awat the baby with bathwater! Okay, let’s see it one more year.
But, If this team misses out this draft on a QB you can say goodbye to the next ten years and this owner might as well sell the team like Wayne. He made his bucks but he would have done nothing for football and deserves a F U again.

Conflicted. It would be exciting to see if we draft an elite qb. But if we move up and they end up being worse than Tannehill, then we're moving backwards.
He’s a middle of the pack guy who can get it don if everything else around him is going well, like an Alex Smith. I think we need to keep grabbing QBs until we get a true franchise QB.
P.S. That knee injury was so ****ing painful. I finally thought he had turned a corner. Hope he can pick up where he left off.

Ruldolph, a guy people have going in the 4th round at 11. More evidence of the low football IQ of the RT17 haters.

I'm not a Tannehill-hater, but I don't think that Tannehill has "it". Yes, Philbin's pathetic o-line allowed him to be sacked more than any other QB over a 4 year period, but some of those sacks were his fault. He's very athletic and good at throwing on the run, yet he has a problem escaping pressure in the pocket. With Marino, they could be down 2 TDs with 5 minutes to go and they had a good chance of winning. With Tannehill running Gase's offense, there's no way they could win in that situation. Gase would probably call a short pass on 3rd and long, punt, and the opponent would run out the clock. Even if they would score a TD, Burke's defense would immediately give up another score. Everyone keeps mentioning how Tannehill went 7-1; that 7-1 record was against mostly bad teams and they barely won some of those games. The only reason they ended up at 10-6 was due to a few lucky bounces and breaks... they actually won a few games that they should have lost (for example, Cleveland missing a FG).
In a way, I pity Tannehill. He was never given a sporting chance under two inexperienced Head Coaches who were in way over their head and had no idea what they were doing. Neither Philbin nor Gase wanted a big strong o-line and a punishing running game which would have helped take some pressure off of Tannehill. Instead, Ryan was stuck with a stumbling, bumbling offense that usually couldn't score until nearly half-time when they were already down by a few scores, matched with a defense that was built to play with a lead even though they rarely had a lead. He has shown potential at times, especially with his ability to roll out and go deep, but any good play he made was usually followed by poor playcalling from Gase.

Tannehill is what he is. He's a middling QB. Just a middle of the pack guy. That's why an upgrade is needed at QB.
RT17 hasn't had a competent team. Horrible coaching, horrible Oline, Horrible WRs and so on. He turned Brian Hartline into an actual NFL WR. Wins and loses aren't a QB stat. period.
