You can’t have it both ways. You can’t scream from the rooftops about how bad Miami’s offensive coordinator was and then turn around and blast Tannehill for not performing better within his offense. Let’s be real. The offensive scheme was horrid. Formations rarely changed. Playmakers were always in the same spot. Misdirection running plays didn’t exist. Hell, you knew if it was run or pass by go vs. go-go. I could go on and on, but why relive the misery. The bottom line is that it was the most frustrating season I have ever been a part of, and I’ve only missed three games since I got my driver’s license seventeen years ago, and none of those were during 1-15.
In the end, I am so excited about Tannehill. I have no idea how all Dolphins fans are not. I agree, the deep accuracy has to improve. I also agree his needs to keep progressing on his pocket presence. But, let’s be fair, the jump from year one to year two was significant, as evidenced by, among other things, his much improved presence and touchdown numbers (doubled). That happened in...Sherman’s...offense. Which...anyone with eyes knew often caused involuntary vomiting. So, pick one. You can blame Tannehill or Sherman. Not both.
P.S. – I’m guessing the retort for those who want to blame both with be comparisons to Wilson, Luck, Foles, etc. Please remember that two of the three had elite running games. All three have above average to elite coaching. Hell, the one that won the Super Bowl played with possibly the best defense ever with a coaching staff that asked him to do what he does best, hand off the ball, run play action, get him out of the pocket, and let him throw to often wide open receivers. And lastly, ask yourself how those three would have done in Sheman’s offense. Even the great Andrew Luck, the man with an amazing ability to will defenders to drop the passes he throws right to them (Sean Smith is just one of many), and then throw for all kinds of yards when the ones they do catch cause his team to be way behind thus facilitating a prevent defense, would likely have struggled.
