I Can Now Say The Dolphins Do Not Have A QB.

[DuderinoN703]

anyone catch the halftime show? cowher is talking about how inaccurate geno is and marino chimes in to say "what about tannehill" and cowher says "oh, he's bad too" haha, I don't know just something about the way he said it made me crack up, refreshing to see some honesty from the media

Care to explain why he has a better completion percentage than Cam Newton, Andy Dalton, Robert Griffin III, Tom Brady, Joe Flacco, Alex Smith and Matthew Stafford?

If he's so inaccurate and "bad" according to Cowher, how can he have a better % than the guys mentioned above?

That play was 90% Hartline.

Yeah he's the only QB to ever have his WR make a play to score a TD.

Then don't read them. Simple, right?

Some us have a pathological inability to let asinine posts go unchallenged. I'm guilty....

 

[DuderinoN703]

Truth, Dude. This game should be 35-3. Our Offense is a Joke. Happy about beating the Jets. But if you want to be in the playoffs, you got to beat Buffalo and Carolina, 2 winnable games.
And being 6-0 at Halftime today is inexcusable. This team is not going to the Playoffs...

Why did Buffalo beat Carolina earlier in the year if you had to beat both to make it in for Miami?

Tannehill had a nice second half but if you don't see the difference in the two halves I don't know what to say.

What about Tom Brady's 1st half vs. Miami a few weeks ago? Absolutely awful first half.

 

[DuderinoN703]

That pass was a hot read and a great job by Tannehill of recognizing that the defense was ten yards off and getting the ball to Wallace right away with time to make the defenders miss. It was just as good of a pass/read as it was a catch and run, and Wallace actually almost screwed it up by not really anticipating the throw all that much.

With a slower receiver, that pass probably wasn't a TD, but don't take it away from Tannehill that he recognized the defense right away and got the ball in the hands of a guy he knows can take it to the house.

Gannon actually said the same thing....

This was certainly spoken too soon today. He finished the game with a 94 QB rating.

Here's an idea: when you have a solitary thought that's based almost entirely on venting your feelings, post it in the game thread! :)

This x 1,000,1000

yea but tannehill single handedly lost 6 games

:lol2:

You're being ridiculous. You're comparing Tannehill and Brady?

Tell me that if Brady was playing the Jets today, and had OUR time of possession, and a defense that had 2 takeaways, that he'd march down into Jets territory over and over and over, without a TD. Because if you believe that, then I don't know what to say.

Brady's stats vs. Jets this year:

vs Jets: 19 for 39 185 yds 1 TD (Rating of 71)
at Jets: 22 for 46 228 yds 0 TD 1 INT (Rating of 53.5 and team lost)

Your move....

Bill Cowher, the man who considered Kordell Steward prime starting material for like 3 years -- along w. Neil O'Donnell -- is now bagging on Tannehill?

If anything should prove Tannehill's worth, it should be the fact that Cowher thinks he has no worth.

Please. Cowher is not an offensive mind in the least. Nor a QB evaluator. Kinda on par w. Wanny, in that regard.

As I said in another thread, you want to talk about a coach who thinks highly of Ryan Tannehill, Ron Rivera was raving about him to Joe Rose after the game -- as Joe mentioned on the radio. Wade Phillips has gone on the record to say he thinks Tannehill is going to be real good -- even after the Texans dismantled us in his first game. So there's that. You can't just go to the experts, because a lot of experts have different opinions. And to be honest, I would definitely take the word over a guy who is actively doing film study and gameplanning for -- and coaching against -- a player over a guy who sits in the CBS studio squinting at 37 different TV sets so he can say three sentences at halftime.

That play was 90% Hartline.

You're right, it was. It was a fantastic play by Brian Hartline, and he deserves 90% of the credit. That's the kind of play we need to see more of out of receivers we have invested a lot of money in. That's the kind of play this offense is built around.

However, this works both ways. When the receiver screws up, we should likewise assign the same credit (or blame) to them that we assign on great plays they make. For instance, at the end of the Baltimore game when Charles Clay drops a football that makes that kick a little bit easier for Captain Chokejob, our placekicker, do you blame him for that cruddy drop or do you blame the QB for 'not getting it done?' When Mike Wallace totally ****s up his route against the Patriots and costs us what would probably have been the nail in the coffin, do you blame the QB for an 'off-target throw' or do you actually look and see that the receiver misread the coverage and ****ed up, and likewise assign him the blame?

It's okay to expect your receivers to make great plays like Wallace and Hartline did in this game. It's okay to credit them and say "that was a great play by the receiver to help out his quarterback." And... it's also okay to understand that receivers making great plays is part of what makes quarterbacks have great games. It's part of what they're paid the big bucks to do.

All Tannehill's fault I'd say, or at least from me using the knowledge I've gained by being on this site for 9 years.

Anyone who trusts Bill Cowher's evaluation of QB play deserves to suffer for years under Kordell Stewart-like QBs.

Total idiots. Cant even stand it lany more

 

[Al13]

Very inconsistant. Not a good game for him so far. He's missed 4 or 5 passes that should have been completions.

well looking pretty stupid now....do you

The Jets defense is no joke. This is why I am encouraged. I agree with those who felt that Ryan Tannehill was bad in the first half. Yet he ended the day with a very respectable stat line, a 20 point win, and one fluke turnover against a legitimately good defense. You have to factor in the competition. That's also why I thought he played well against Carolina even though we lost the game -- that Panthers defense is ****ing ridiculous and we could not / did not run the ball at all. He's showing some moxie.

I'm waiting for his response. He made it seem like Brady would've had NE score 200 points.
