Coach Gruden just nails it here. The points he makes to Tannehill are extremely relevant even today, but he didn't mature much past this stage in development for some reason. He still misdiagnosis coverages, stares down targets, get baited into throws, has at times, poor accuracy and anticipation, can't consistently throw receivers open, poor pocket awareness most of the time, and on and on... Some guys respond to the challenge at the next level, figure it out, some don't or can't.
After year 3 I thought we've pretty much seen what we're getting from Tannehill. That's who he is. He needs to be on a team that has a solid defense and running game and let him be a game manager type guy who makes 25-30 pass attempts a game. No more. Maybe he runs a little option play a couple times a game and get you 20 rushing yards and his job beyond that is not to turn the ball over. You can't put him out there to be Aaron Rogers or any other top tier QB. Instead of drafting and building a roster for that, Miami has insisted that Tannehill can be an elite QB and you're seeing those results.
Poor drafting, failure to assemble an o-line worth a damn, failure to find a good running back, failure to field a defense even in the top half of the NFL... the franchise let Tannehill down and vice versa.
