This is my main argument for Tannehill, most are right when saying he's very average, but alot of people seriously over estimate their odds of being able to upgrade over consistant average QB play. There's always a QB somewhere having a great season out of nowhere, that guy always becomes the benchmark, LOOK! even that guy is better than Tannehill... Problem is THAT guy almost always reverts back to bad, and then we just switch to next guy having that surprising season.... The benchmark is never the same player...
Should be easy to replace Tannehill with [2015 Carson Palmer/2016 Dak Prescott/2017 Case Keenum/2018 Ryan Fitzpatrick] right?
With that being said, It's time to start looking for possible upgrades as the team is solid enough that you can spend high end resources into the QB position. You keep Tannehill as your starter until you find what you're looking for in the draft.
So level headed. It's too bad the people you're conversing with probably won't adjust their thinking after reading your post.
If and when the Dolphins think that they're just a QB upgrade away from putting it all together, there's no reason to think they couldn't do what the Eagles did (trading away multiple future picks) to go get their QB. It just happened to work out for them (having Carson Wentz and Nick Foles) and luckily Foles was able to win that superbowl for them. I can't imagine the long term turmoil and damage done to that franchise if Wentz wasn't panning out for them. So there's a formula that fits these Dolphins, bundle up a bunch of your picks (multiple 1st rounders) and know exactly who you intend to draft.
Only problem I see is that this team had better have solved it's o-line depth issues before sinking that kind of investment on one QB. Have a plan in place for that new QB.
For the record, I haven't totally given up on Ryan Tannehill. It's just that these guys have never had a good plan for him. There was zero preparation with the line or the receivers. He literally came in and took chicken **** and somehow whipped up very average chicken salad sandwiches. Almost magic.
