Marvez: Dolphins won't consistently win until Tannehill less erratic

After the controversy he created by refusing to endorse Ryan Tannehill as a starter before a Week 4 game against Oakland, Philbin will probably refrain from offering any more pointed critiques of his third-year quarterback. So I'll say it: The Dolphins won't consistently win until getting less erratic play from under center. Tannehill's performance against Green Bay was maddening. He tossed two interceptions while posting a first-half quarterback rating of 26.0. The first turnover stemmed from a recurring Tannehill problem in which he locks on to his receiver rather than looking off coverage and/or failing to go through his progressions. Packers cornerback Casey Hayward caught Tannehill staring down Jarvis Landry from the snap and stepped in front of the Dolphins rookie for the pick. The second interception reflected Tannehill's ongoing difficulties in throwing deep. Tannehill misfired on a heave to wideout Brian Hartine that FOX game analyst John Lynch astutely lamented "should not be thrown."
Hartline was smothered in coverage by Packers cornerback Sam Shields, who notched the interception. Tannehill also failed to see when Hartline was wide open on another play for what could have proven a huge gain, instead throwing an incompletion to Landry. The second half was completely different. Tannehill had a 40-yard run on the second play of the third quarter, displaying the kind of athleticism that isn't exploited enough by Dolphins coaches. He completed 10 of his first 11 passes for 132 yards with two touchdowns.
Tannehill even looked like Brett Favre on two plays, spinning out of Packers pressure to hit Mike Wallace for a 25-yard gain and later beating the blitz by backpedaling and throwing off his back foot for an 11-yard score to Landry. I'm not expecting Tannehill to play like Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, a future Hall of Famer whose 2-minute drive to win the game was a thing of beauty. But after 37 career starts, Tannehill must stop making the same fundamental mistakes over and over if he's ever to become a franchise quarterback and for Philbin to keep his job beyond this season. Performances like the one to Green Bay make me wonder if either will happen.

Sounds fair to me although many around here will disagree and call him an idiot. Actually sounds like captain obvious to me.

Hennehill will be less erratic and more consistent when he is on the bench.
 
Marvez is a long term pathological Tannehill hater like Skip Bayless and Brian Billick (WV as well). When Ryan has a good game like the one in London, all 3 are silent or make side comments like he's a very nice young man. But every game he loses, they have their guns out to shoot him as a total failure.
Rather than simply assessing a player on his performance, particularly Alex and Skip are more determined to show that they are always right.

Hmm...echoing what I was saying in the Lazor thread, which garnished derision. And I'm the crazy one.
 
i dont got a problem with it...although i'd like to see what play he's talking about where hartline was wide open for a big gain and he missed him...the first pick was all eye discipline or lack there of...i thought he was past that at this point...

playing good halfs is just not good enough anymore...must be more consistent thru games...it's year 3 he is defining himself as a pro now...i need more
 
It wasn't a hatchet job, he makes a very objective assessment. Like others posted though, wow, he really went out on a limb there...

So I'll say it: The Dolphins wont consistently win until they score more points than the other team......
 
I don't have a problem with the article. RT is inconsistent.

However, he is also the best QB on our roster.....so lets hope he improves.
 
Sorry, I've seen enough of Tannehill. He is what he is, and that is an inconsistent player. We won't win with him period. I had high hopes for him but he always takes a step backwards when you want him to make that crucial step forward.
 
I.m wondering if Tanny is bad in the first half of games as he is following a game plan laid out for him by the coaches.and they have told him not to deviate, so he is running plays the coaches have told have told him to run. Then at half time says- screw it I,m going to play this game my way- and then improvises/ reacts, as he plays 2 different halves.. Plus he isn't the best QB so mistakes are made but something is holding him back from playing a complete game and I would say it's coaching. Philbin has also let him know in many ways that he doesn't trust him and that has to be in Tanny;s mind. Philbin just seems so "set" in how it "should be" instead of reacting to" what is."
