I made the 5 hour drive to the game yesterday, and was witness to numerous examples of this, but I happened to capture one of them and figured it was worth sharing. I'd be curious to review this on TV but it wasn't televised here (Brooksville, FL) so I couldn't record it. I'll catch some of the rewind tonight on NFL Network, anyway, there were MANY times in the game where I saw a receiver wide open that Tannehill would completely ignore in favor of targeting Wallace, once there were even two open receivers near the end zone, but I think this pic really captures it.

Here Charles Clay is wide open right in front of Tannehill with room to run, but instead he elects to throw a terrible pass behind Wallace (if I recall correctly, might've been Hartline) which of course resulted in an incompletion. Not that this is a revelation to anyone here, but I thought seeing it from this angle might really help to show just how obvious it is to everyone (except our front office).

 
the look on Charles's face says it all... He is like "what the hell are you looking at? I'm open!"
 
Not defending Thill here but if he is purposely looking for Wallace over everyone else, it would look like he's ordered to do that from Lazor trying to force the chemistry between those two. Or it could just be Ryan forcing it knowing he has to make it work. Last year he was hitting all his WRs, so I find it hard to believe he's all of a sudden ignoring Clay, Gibson and co.

I've been saying Lazor and been wanting to focus the passing game through Wallace since the first game.

Anyway...if Tannehill throws that pass to Clay, Clay is going to get lit up by #90 who's right there.

I guess you don't see too well. Look to the right, Thill is about to be smashed. Sheesh

This was definitely an agenda driven post by the OP
 
Not surprised. Look how long the shadows are. There is no one trailing Clay within 6 feet. That ball should be gone by now. Tannehill is playin skerd. That's one reason why the coaches are talking about benching him this week.
 
90 is watching waiting to destroy Clay, whom Clay can't see... You can find these types of scenarios for Dan Marino. Its one pic.

If you attended the games more often, then you would know almost every play any QB misses wide open players. I use to see Marino consistently not see wide open players. I'm not sure what play this was, but it looks like to me his progression was deep/mid to a short pass. If that's the case, what's the problem?
 
There was another play on 3rd and short where Daniel Thomas was wide open in the flat and Tannehill throws downfield into coverage. He has NO VISION!!!

No offense but #90 for Kansas City is right there to make a play and probably kill Clay if he caught it. On this specific pass, was this photo taken as Tannehill was still dropping back or was he moving forward? I ask b/c that also makes a difference based on the timing of this particular image.
 
Like the pic but what is down and distance? Clay is 10 yards from Tannehill which means five from the LOS. Number 90 has coverage over the middle and is less than five off Clay who doesn't appear to be setting up for stop and go route or a hook. In fact he looks like he will be moving another two to three yards to the left. 90 is then in the throwing lane or easily able to make ball to receiver impact. This image also doesn't show what is open downfield or where the ball is actually thrown. Tannehill didn't throw a lot of passes yesterday behind his receivers for a change. If this were a 3rd and 1 and Clay was doing a stop route then Tannehill definitely made a mistake.

Regardless, it's not enough to say Tanny screwed it up any more than it is to say he didn't. Just not enough to make a real judgement without it rolling in action. Like the pic though.
