Chad Henne or Ryan Tannehill..what's the difference?

[PFC]

I have to say there is a lot of resemblance between these two, from physical appearance and personalities, to the playing field, and even just from following this board's take on both. Initially, Henne was finally meant to be the franchise QB we were looking for, however over time as he progressively showed more and more of how useless he is, this place slowly turned from complete support, to less and less, with eventually no remaining defenders for RoboHenne. In the end the hate thrown towards the guy was overwhelming and uncontrollable until he finally got sent packing. I'm noticing the same trend with Tannehill. And let's face it - he's got al the makings of a bust. I've watched most of our games this year and the amount of balls outside the 20 yard range he's screwed up, really reminds me of Henne. Most of the guy's work has come from short drop backs and 5-10 yard flingers with Clay, Wallce, Hartline etc. expected to do the rest. Not to mention how unclutch he is in key situations, again very much like Henne. Only RoboHenne would also lead his offence so one-dimensionally to a total of 7(!!) points against two division rivals in back-to-back games, both pivotal for the playoffs. Oh but yes, some will be quick to jump and blame it on Sherman, the rain, wind, bad luck etc. similar to the cries of Henne's last remaining defenders..I think this team needs to start fresh from the management down, and that includes a new QB..

Maybe Tannehill could try out for the receiver spot though, he's got more experience there than at QB after-all..Heck even Egnew has developed a bit there with us.. and then Tannehill could probably slide his way short of first downs from that position as well!

Never took this place for a popularity contest. I'm not going to be giving Sparano-like fist-pumps here after another mediocre and disappointing season.

Tannehill is more athletic. Other than that, nothing.

Looks to me Ryan was picking a Geno out of his nose.

If you cant tell the difference between Henne and Tanne, i dont take anything you say about football seriously.

That's true, but with his amazing pocket awareness that athleticism still gets him sacked just as much as Henne.

Tannehill had more passing yards and TDs than Henne ever did in one season. Henne had an OLINE and a better running game to open up the pass.......comparing Henne to Tannehill is about as stupid as enrolling a retard into Harvard.

The main difference is that we wasted 2 years on Henne and will waste more on Tanehill.

Henne's offence was also set-up completely different and was much more dictated by the run. Tannehill has a lot more opportunities for throwing for more yards and TD's. Not to mention Hennehill has Wallace compared to someone like a Ted Ginn Jr. to hit with the deep ball..

Please.......Tannehill has made throws that Henne could never make.

Henne had Marshall for 2 years........Marshall is better than Wallace....NEXT

Better in shorter yardage situations yes but we both know Marshall can't get any separation down the field....and even still he had more yards in each of his two seasons than Wallace this year...Says to me more about who's throwing them the ball..

You stole my theme. Tannehill in many ways is more dangerous to this franchise than Henne ever was. With Henne the flaws were obvious, and no chance of reversal. Everyone pushed the give up button. Tannehill teases just enough to encourage the happy adjustment crew. If you've got happy adjusters atop the franchise, which is not uncommon, they'll be content to pretend next season will be the magical 1.5 multiplier, or the following year...

It reminds me of that song,"...strong, strong man to ever let you go."

We will never be strong enough as long as the regime who drafted him is still intact.
