I’ve jumped ship totally off the Tannehill wagon. But there’s no one worth picking up in next years draft. I’d build the oline up and fixed that leaky defense in this upcoming draft and pickup a qb round 1 in 2020.
I asked this in another thread, Why does the new QB get a revamped line? Why does THill have to make it happen behind a lousy line all the time? Yes, he needs to play better.

oh those are all our offensive lineman since 2012
Check out Mackenzie Milton and fall in love...sleeper too.Because odds are the Dolphins will never have a great offensive line, or a completely healthy one. When was the last time they did?
I like the chances of finding 1 QB that can make plays when protection breaks down more than I like the chances of finding 5-8 guys that not only are good, but won't get injured. I'm just gonna assume at this point that o-line is never gonna be above average and will consistently be a turnstyle due to injuries. Therefore what's needed is a QB that can do more with less.
Yeah, yeah .. I know franchise QB's aren't growing on trees. But I'm not expecting an Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees. There are better (non-elite) options already in the league so they're are certain to be some in available in the draft that the Dolphins could obtain.
Every single Sunday I'm watching QB's make plays when protection breaks down. They know when and how to step up or out when needed to buy time. And they have at least some pocket awareness. But the Dolphins haven't had a guy with those qualities since I can't remember when.
I’ve been one supporting Ryan and allowing him time to develop and to see what he can do with legit weapons.
While the o-line has been and continues to be a big problem, I’ve seen enough to know he’s not the guy.
Ryan, like most competent QB’s, is Just fine with a clean pocket. Problem is, in the NFL the pocket is often a mess and he cant make plays when the blocking breaks down. He’s a sitting duck that has poor pocket awareness and doesn’t make guys miss. Even the unathletic Andy Dalton made free pass rushers miss and turned in big plays. Tannehill rarely, if ever, does that.
Since it is quite apparent the Dolphins will never have a dominant or healthy o-line, it’s time to find a QB capable of making plays behind a broken line. At this point, Colin Kaepernick would be a better fit in this offense than Ryan Tannehill. No, I’m saying the Dolphins should go sign him, just acknowledging that a QB that can make plays once protection breaks down is a better fit —- whomever that QB is.
