Bad decision. Doughty is not starting NFL caliber, IMO, from either an arm strength or basic talent perspective.
I'm obviously not a fan of Tannehill's background or the devastating possibility of wasting more seasons with him. But he's a starting caliber NFL quarterback who can rebound and win games, perhaps soon.
Just throw the ball assertively down the field. I have no idea what happened to the 10 to 12 yard dart sideline throws we used so often on first down a year or two ago. One cheap first down after another to get the drive moving. Now we dump if off for a few yards. Gase's offense is not as advertised so far. I also keep wondering what happened to the attitude that helped the Bears under Gase go into St. Louis last season and stun the Rams as 8 point underdog, scoring 37 points.
If we resort to Doughty it will be one sad short throw after another combined with an overmatched athlete who is under onslaught from all sides.
