On certain occasions interim coach Dan Campbell taps Marino for advice, and Campbell appreciates the contribution. Sometimes.

“What he contributed the other day, I guess the day before the game at New England,” Campbell said with a smile, “we were getting ready for the game and something happened on his phone and he couldn’t get it turned off, so it was very distracting.”

But seriously…

“Just to have Dan Marino around, first of all, he’s a guy’s guy, he’s one of the greatest that’s ever played this game,” Campbell said. “I don’t care who it is, or what profession it is, when you have people in the building that are (legendary) you’re kind of surrounding yourself with greatness, so that in itself has been an asset to have him.”

And, yes, Campbell does go to Marino for insight, sometimes on quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

“How much have I done of that?” Campbell said. “A little bit. I would say I have asked his input on just quarterbacks and Ryan, and, ‘What about this?’ and, ‘Is there anything you would say about it?’ or, ‘Anything different that you would do?’

“So those things, certainly, I ask him questions. I don’t do it every day, but there will be things that I do run by him. He’s got a wealth of knowledge himself.”

Smart to do. Surround yourself with great people, listen and learn. A great plan for any profession. Maybe he can get with Lazor and Ryan about identifying defenses and adjusting the play.

It's too bad that the ""force" is not strong with Tannehill.

He's who we have at the moment and this coaching staff needs to do a much better job playing to his strengths. Throwing the ball a Millions times is not one of them. Having him not use his legs is another.

My guess would be Marino likes him. However, I think he would criticism him for not consistently playing up to the moment. I don't know what it is about him as a Qb but it seems like if things aren't near perfect he's unlikely to rise. It's only been a few times I can say I've seen him in "the zone" most times it's like I can see him "thinking." We gotta evolve to the next level Tannehill.

It subtle things like we're down by a bunch and you see Kenny Stills streaking down the field. He's a little open and the safety is coming across. Yes! The coverage is not ideal but the "moment" calls for it. Instead he's more like to check down the the RB on 3rd and long. Bro, we're down 21pts in the 4th quarter with 5 minutes to go.

Marino has always spoken highly of Tannehill.

thank god Danny continues to give a **** about this dumpster fire
 
I hate the way those cretins make a living

The only reason Campbell said any of that is because someone specifically ASKED HIM about it.

I'm definitely not a Thill hater. But, I think we would all agree that he definitely needs as close to a complete team around him to succeed. I don't think anyone can dispute that at this point in his career. The only question is "How much of that complete team does he need?" Is it as simple as a strong OL which can aide in a decent-strong run game and pass protection? Or does he also need a strong quality D-Fense that doesn't give up point of big plays.

IMO, It's too costly to try and find and invest in another Qb. Plus, figure out whats the bare minimum that QB needs to succeed. At this point as a FO we should know exactly what kinda QB we have and what he needs to be successful. The obvious glaring need yet again..is a damn OL. For the love of all things I wish the would once and for all dedicate some serious resources to fixing that problem.

My guess is that they might be asking Kap to do more than we are asking RT to do.

I think Chip would take him if he doesn't get run out of Philly after this season
