Ok,

I've read it multiple places now and it could just be the same person posting the same ramblings in every thread, but could someone please explain how Tannehill has regressed.

Tannehill in 2015 (through 10 games)

358 (Attempts) - 225 (Completions) - 62.8% - 2640 (Yards) - 7.4 (YPA) - 264 (YPG) - 17 (TDS) - 10 (INTS) - 37 (20+ Yard Plays) - 9 (40+ Yard Plays) - 30 (Sacks) - 89.4 (Rate)

Tannehill in 2014

590 (Attempts) - 392 (Completions) - 66.4% - 4045 (Yards) - 6.9 (YPA) - 252.8 (YPG) - 27 (TDS) - 12 (INTS) - 41 (20+ Yard Plays) - 4 (40+ Yard Plays) - 46 (Sacks) - 92.8 (Rate)


So where is the regression? Point it out where the TRUE regression has occurred and explain it.

- Above 60% completion still
- On pace for more yards
- Higher Yards Per Attempt
- Higher Yards Per Game
- On pace for more TDs
- More 20+ yard plays is a likely given
- More than doubled the 40+ yard plays already compared to last year

His interceptions are up, but realistically that is about the only thing that hasn't increased. So where is the regression? Seriously?

Everyone wants to exclaim what the stats totally go against.

We can all agree that the defense has been somewhat of a let down, the offensive line is still a blaring problem that we refuse to address, the play calling is absolutely atrocious, and that there have been a mass amount of other problems from week to week.

I mean he is still on track to have a better year than last year. How is this regression?

Everyone complains about check-downs and screen passes, yet I'm watching other QBs do the exact same thing with no torches being lit against them.

It just baffles me anymore...

I get it's fun to just throw around terms and stuff but let's be honest, Tannehill has stayed the same if anything, but he hasn't regressed...

There is no regression. He and the offense, including Lazor and Campbell, just aren't good enough to win consistently.
 
I don't agree with those who say he has regressed. For three years he's been showing us the same mediocrity he's always had.
 
Stat-wise, as you point out, he hasn't really regressed, but when you look at our points per game offensively compared to 2014, this year it's way lower. And that's not entirely on the QB but he IS responsible.

I personally think the entire offense has regressed, starting with Lazor. The reality is that our offense is scoring on average below 20 points per game, and that's just not good enough to win.

I'm happy that he's been much better throwing deep this year, that's definitely not something to overlook. But I want this offense to score more points, and they haven't done that. And Ryan, whether we like it or not, is part of that problem.
 
I'm all for getting rid of Lazor and removing him from the equation. If Tannehill is what he is after that and we move on, so be it.
 
Young QB is fine, Henning, Sherman, Lazor all just suck. See a pattern??

QB constantly progresses every year despite the fact that the team never improves...see a pattern?
 
I think he was asked to do more...

and he has shown that he cannot do it.

he should be given plays like he was when Sherman was here,

make him read only half the field, if it is not there then run.

He plays on 3rd down the same now as he has for the past couple of years.

He shows absolutely no sense of urgency on 3rd down whatsoever.

He treats 3rd down the same as 1st down. If his first read is open he goes there, REGARDLESS OF DOWN AND DISTANCE
 
He hasn't regressed, he is same guy he's always been. This team is going nowhere until it upgraded at QB.

I'm all for finding a new head coach, one that brings in his own staff . . . and have that new staff determine if Ryan Tannehill needs to be in the equation. If they say yes, then they assume liability for him if they say no, then by all means I hope they aren't "forced" to deal wit him because of the contract he recently signed . . . I get it, next year is hard to get out of, but if they want to go QB in round 1 for the guy they want, by all means, go for it.

There should be ZERO promises made to Ryan Tannehill after the season.
 
Tannehill will be given another shot next year with a new OC and hopefully an improved offensive line. If every thing else is improved yet the offense continues to struggle then we will have a huge problem. Hoping that Tannehill and the offense can take the next step in 2016. When you have a defense with Larry, Moe , Curly, Shemp and Curly Joe as your LBs, FS and #2 CB and your offense can't muster more than a net of 7 points, your team is in serious trouble.

No. I don't. You ask, "Where has he progressed?" I ask, "Where has he improved this year?" The deep ball? If that's your answer, give me a break...
