Yes we know, I was just refuting the argument of them being mediocre, I have no problem with the not being worth their contract argument.
Only problem is that we are not taking advantage of this, and there will most likely be a regression next season
I was about to say the exact same thing. The incredible special teams performance is also being wasted.
Since you consider both of them average, I'm just curious where you fall on the Tannehill argument? Where do you rank him?
I didn't mess up my friend. Landry Made it well known he wanted to be a number 1, and be paid accordingly. He is a slot WR, a good slot WR, but that's it. Miami knew what he was worth, and he wasn't worth the money he wanted, nor would he ever be a No 1 receiver.
Tannehill is average too. Middle of the road QB. Could be better, but play calling and the Oline, plus injuries have limited his output. I believe he has the tools to be a top 10 qb. But that won't happen here.
He won't be a top 10 QB anywhere else either. Brady Brees Rodgers Rivers Roethlisberger Luck Mahomes Goff Ryan Stafford 10 off the top of my head that Tannehill isn't/won't be better than. I'm sure there's more.
He has the tools to be top 10, but as I said, he is being limited by numerous things. He won't be a top 10 if he stays in Miami. I see your point, and agree there are some dynamic young QBs playing ATM, but give him what most of these above have, RT would be there.
Neither were worth what it would have cost. I agree JL was a couple steps above average. Not worth 16 mil.
What does he need? He's been through 4 or 5 OCs, two head coaches, numerous resources getting him weapons, plus a ton of money spent on the o-line. I mean, at some point, we have to look at the common factor in all those groups struggling. I like Ryan, but while he has the physical tools to be a very good QB, he lacks a general feel for the game that you see most of your better QBs have.
Wish we could have scored more points off of these turnovers. Typically we do not score at all, or we get 3 points.
Gonna spend the money regardless, spend it on Lol, love how Landry continues to be a point of contention. And it wasn’t even started by me... Also, can’t stand the argument that a player’s production on a different team, in a different system, and different circumstances isn’t worth what Miami would have had to pay to keep him in their organization. All things being equal, I’d agree that his production doesn’t make him worth 15 mil, but the logic is flawed. Then to say he’s mediocre is just dumb. Terrible argument.
Ryan Tannehill needs more flawed thinking. He has always benefitted from flawed thinking and done just enough to allow it to persist. I don't think we've seen the end of it. A big game and victory against the Patriots and/or Vikings would be typical of this fiddle in the middle ongoing snore, enabling flawed thinking to continue.
He is mostly limited by himself. If its not in the manual, it doesnt happen. All scripted. He can't improvise and lacks situational awareness.
