Taking the positive out of this situation, I like that the vast majority of people have finally seen the reality of Tannehill’s limitations. Despite the annoyance with the team and it’s coaches, slowly but surely the Tannehill “is he good enough to be our franchise Qb” debate is being settled (with only a few holding out).
The REAL problem few are talking about is injuries being a scapegoat for the major, major instrastructure and scheme issues with this franchise. This season is undeniably snakebitten with bad injury luck, and if just enough cronies can convince Ross that is the reason for the meltdown, he will buy it and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. That not only includes the coaches but underperformers like Tannehill, our O line, and D line.
In hindsight, the absolute worst thing that could have happened is our 3-0 start because it feeds this phony “we were an awesome team before the injury bug came” narrative they are likely to trot out.
The real gut punch will come this offseason when minimal changes are undertaken again. I just hope someone in the front office is wise enough to ask fans what they think, because ultimately the only way Ross listens is if there are no fans in the seats due to a lack of hope with this organization.
