Maybe I Wasn't Wrong Afterall

In the past I have been very critical of Ryan Tannehill's play. I have always thought he was a below average QB. But after the back-to-back wins over New England and Pittsburgh I thought we had our QB. Then came the back-to-back debacles against Buffalo and the Jets. Now whether you are a big Tannehill fan or not, the performance in those two games are unacceptable. I along with a few other fans on this board felt Matt Moore could have given this team 2 extra wins in 2012 and 2013 which would have landed the Miami Dolphins in the playoffs. Evidently, the Head Coach may have come around to our line of thinking. He is now saying there will be OPEN COMPETITION for the QB job next season. I wish he had that same mindset the last two seasons because if he had, his status would have been a lot more secure right now. I am guessing Bill Lazor may have tipped him off that Matt Moore is a quality QB that can win games even if he is not flashy. The Head Coach may be finally understanding that he is here to WIN GAMES and it doesn't matter who the starting QB is.

tannehill is seen as a franchise qb on this site and its pretty laughable. 95 percent of the posters talk numbers and stats and potential but they always seem to never mention how this guy has NEVER been a winner. mediocre in college and mediocre as a pro but that is always overlooked. there were so many games this year where he left points on the field i lost count. matt moore came in at buffalo and immediately connected on a bomb, something tannehill sucked at all year. its not a stretch at all to say this would have been a playoff team if moore was the starter.

I didn't know football was a one man sport.... I wish Tannehill covered the Wr's better and blitzed better :(
 
why was texas a&m much, much, much better when manziel became the starter?? their defense is pittiful and is much worse than when tannemarino was there, yet they were much better when taneehill left . all this crap about football being a 53 man team, then why does every elite team have an excellent qb? sh*t if qb is just a part of the team how come you need a great one to compete? i look forward to reading excuses next year when we suck yet again.

I mean they didn't have a new head coach either.....oh wait they did.
 
dobrasz if your boy could throw a deep pass accurately we wouldnt be talking about the oline, rb or sherman the way we are. but all those pathetic over throws or underthrows or passes to the bench on the sideline when mike wallacw was WIDE open were NEVER tannehills fault. denial is not a river in egypt. once we get a qb we'll become relevant again.
 
Bird if your boy Moore was so good he wouldn't have lost out to someone you think is so terrible.
 
im not saying moore is that good, and i seriously doubt there was competition for the starting qb job. im saying we DEFINITELY need to open the competition for the qb job. if tannehill wins it fine, just make it a true competition. i think moore is easily as good as tannehill but he wasnt over drafted 8th overall now was he?

We have the best qb in Miami since Marino left. And he hasnt been in league that long. Yeah he may have overthrown. But overthrowing and such is better than throwing INTs! Considering he had no run game and a bad O line he did pretty good. I am not so sure alot of other qbs would have held in there as he did. Unless we find a better option which there isn't at the moment ! I think its best to keep letting him grow as the franchise QB!
 
What does drafted 8 overall mean? That he has high expectations? Yes he should have high expectations. But let's not forget Tannehill now has 32 games under his belt in the pros to add to his 19 in college. So he is still learning. He was supposed to be a project QB who wasn't even supposed to start until this year upcoming as said by the gurus and experts. So if you think he is so terrible as you basically are we should just give up now and use pick 19 on a QB. Just keep picking up a new QB every 2 years until Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have a love child and we can draft him. Continuity man. Lets give up on a QB who had a better season than his rookie year. Who missed on those deep balls when even Mike Wallace himself said if they had more time together it would have made a difference. Year 1 together man. If you are giving up after that then may god help you with you committment issues.

Franchise QB?!!! You can't be serious, can you?
 
I'm giving Tannehill one more year before I decide. I think there are a lot of Debbies being way to pessimistic and there are a lot of homers that are way over hyping him. He has not played that bad nor has he played that great. I was getting pretty hyped myself until the last two weeks. Those two weeks were absolutely dreadful and Tannehill played a large part in that. He better come out next year on target with his deep ball or he might find himself on the bench at some point. I don't care what his stats say. Tannehill's deep ball was one of the worst in the league. A QB has to be able to hit those throws if he wants to remain a starter. I sure as hell hope he does and if so we may have our Guy
