you need Seattle's QB not OC
I think the whole team looked great and polished. Right down to the way they break huddles and congratulate players coming off the field. Credit Coach too.
you need Seattle's QB not OC
The offensive schemes in Miami leave Tannehill with a greater % of difficult throws than I can ever remember seeing. He is regularly required to throw into tight windows, very quickly, from dirty pockets, just before getting smacked, etc, etc...
Tannehill asked to carry the Miami offense![]()
it's more than that though...the option routes the setting of the protections etc this offense is not easy...he is asked to do more than any other first 3 year qb in the game that i know of...
nick foles though imo is a system qb...that systems helps him put up those numbers...
all things being equal what russell wison has is sustainable over the long term...i like him as the long term 3rd best qb in the 2012 class...behind tannehill and luck
tannehills upside left still and ceiling trumps em all imo if he ever reaches it...
the focal point is mike wallace but tannehill is ABSOLUTELY asked to carry this offense...

That is probably why you are 6-6.
What concerns me about Wilson is his height. It remains to be seen if defenses will be able to exploit that consistently. If he can be kept in the pocket, he is less effective. I will always favor the QB that is better from the pocket until there is a sufficient trend in the league to change that. Right now, Russell Wilson is the exception. How long he remains that way is yet to be determined. He still has the occasional complete game clunker (8 out of 19 for 142, 12 out of 23 for 123, 10 out of 18 for 139, 15 out of 31 for 201). That's 4 out of 12 games this season. I can't even imagine the noise that would be generated here if Tannehill put up those numbers.
I give him credit for rarely making mistakes but, again, he has the luxury of not having to do it alone.
You know, like the Jets running game in 2009 and 2010.

6-6 because of an ineffective running game, poor pass blocking, and poor play calling..... yes, I agree.
you guys can run, you throw way too much and it has hurt you. if you run more you will make the playoffs.
yeah dude...we can really line up and knock em off the ball in short yardage and goalline...this team can't run when the opposition gives em 8 man boxes...we have seen enough to know that
keep trying
Wilson is asked to carry his offense less than any quarterback in the league, as the Seahawks run the ball a greater percentage of the time (roughly 53%) than any other team.
However, Wilson attempts the fifth-most passes in the league of at least 20 yards in the air, and he completes the greatest percentage of passes in the league (a whopping 60%) of that kind.
Tannehill, by contrast, is asked to pass the ball on a greater percentage of his team's offensive plays, but his downfield throws are less frequent (10% to Wilson's 14.8%), and he completes only 35.6% of them.
Seattle's line surrenders the second-greatest percentage of pressured dropbacks in the league (45.2%), to the Dolphins' 32.9%, which ranks 23rd in the league. Moreover, Tannehill is sacked on a league-leading 26.9% of his pressured dropbacks, whereas Wilson is 17th in the league in that regard, at 17.6%. The Dolphins' line is ranked 17th in the league in pass blocking efficiency by PFF, whereas Seattle's line is ranked 20th.
When you consider within the above context the quarterback related variables that are most strongly correlated with winning -- QB rating, YPA, net YPA, and adjusted net YPA -- and consider that Wilson is head and shoulders above Tannehill with regard to them, I think it's fairly easy to conclude that Wilson is playing the quarterback position in its entirety far better than Tannehill right now.
just b/c you are foolish enough to ignore the run doesn't mean you can't, we have BY FAR the best run D in the league and you guys ran it well against us yet abandoned the run game which kept us in the game.
