Absolutely correct. I just emphasized the same thing in hoops' thread. Clay bailed out Sherman on a horrendous call. I worked in a stats office for many years. The room would erupt in laughter whenever a key play was thrown behind the line of scrimmage, forcing a catch and run. The percentage is disastrous, in the 20% range. Luckily the New England safety #28 Gregory took a terrible angle and overran the play, allowing Clay to duck inside him and manage just enough for the first down. Otherwise all the summations on this forum are likely completely different.
It wouldn't have been Tannehill's fault. He did a nice job changing the angle of his arm to avoid a deflection. Sherman has the offense looking increasingly dangerous but he got away with an inept play call on 4th down. That was a Big 12 caliber call and it nearly ruined our chances.
Tannehill put up 17 points in the second half after managing just 40 points in the 7 previous halves against New England. Well done. Now he needs to keep it up. I'm not a happy adjuster nor a pathetic overreacter.
Yeah, we've seen some steady improvement... needs to consistently do this week-in and week-out. Completely agree on the play choice for the 4th down was awful. Once I saw it was a screen pass, my heart nearly stopped. We got lucky there.

I am encouraged.... He has his best game in a huge spot today and averaged > 8 YPA
You geeks need a stats forum. Also take into account that the play was called for a player who hadn't touched the ball all game long and I'm sure you "stat" guys pissed yourself. As much as some would hate to admit it, the game is played on the field, not on paper.

I appreciate statistical analysis. I use it in what I do for a living.
The problem is that the guy who posts all of the 'objective statistics' threads on this forum doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. And that's a pity, because he really kind of ruins it for the rest of us.
I am really confused by all the thanks for the OP. So FH criticizes the OP because he jumped ship saying Tannehill is awful and needs to be replaced. But after tannehill puts together an awesome string of games the OP says he is wrong because of those games and his excuse for making a poor judgement was not necessarily because of his performance in the NFL and less than 2 year's worth of starts but because he didnt perform well in college. In college with a very limited amount of starts.
And now we say good job although was judging too early and is still judging too early by starting a thread that says "Happy to say I was wrong, we have a QB."
To clarify Im not saying Tannehill is or is not the answer. To the gun I would say yes he is.
But really these posters should be shunned before celebrated for being overzealous in their snap judgements.

Also this type of situation for an OP in a win-win. Either your snap judgement is correct by luck or you recant and say you were wrong with excuses and the praise flows. Perfect plan. And this is part of the reason why crappy threads flow around FH because there is zero accountability and no reprecussions. /rant
Don't forget that particular individual found an unintended-flaw in the FH programming and for a thread or two actually made his threads invisible to certain designated members to censor criticism -at least until Bill put a stop to that nonsense.

Ya, I'm finally sold too. To go on the road in crappy weather conditions and get a "W" up in Pitt was one thing, but to follow it up with the game he had in a must win vs. the Pats? That's called evolving before our very eyes. I mean jeez, a 120 passer rating 300+ yards and 3 TD's ..... not to mention converting that huge drive in the 4th quarter for the go-ahead TD.
Next up obviously are things like playoffs wins and major crunch time road wins, but yeah I'm satisfied for now.

Speaking of which, I dunno about everyone else but I applauded them going for it on that 4th down with 3mins to go in the 4th quarter.
i applaud him for that, too, but if you want to have any chance to win the game, that's the only viable call. if we punt there, we never see the ball again.

That win vs. the Falcons doesn't amount to much. They were hit seriously by the injury bug, didn't even have Julio Jones and Roddy White playing at 100%. They are a bad team this year, nothing they did in 2012 has any effect on that.
This win vs. the Pats is paramount. We traditionally get embarrassed in games like this so for Tanny to step up, it's just monumental in the scheme of things.

Ya, they were eating us alive with a long field because of injuries in our secondary.
Actually Tannehill led Texas A&M back in the 4th quarter a number of times...the issue was that the defense at Texas A&M was awful and gave up leads all the time. You can only bring a team back so many times.
I'm not sure how many 4th quarter come backs Tannehill has as a Dolphin...I think he had 1 or 2 last year and he's got the Atlanta game and the Pats game this year...might be 1 more. I know he led us to the game tying FG against Cincy to send it into OT, actually we were losing against the Steelers when he scored the go ahead TD with 2:53 left on the clock, then we added a FG. Pretty sure the one last year was Seattle.
