Active Roster
That post embodies where we are, and it's a ridiculous locale.
The guy is 7 years out of college yet we are evaluating him game by game. If Tannehill has a great game I know exactly the user names of everyone who will be posting immediately after the game, and if he has a terrible game I know the user names who will be here.
That is Saturday Night Live caliber, if Tannehill were high profile enough for them to care. Only flawed thinking gets us there and has kept us there. If we are satisfied with Crowd mediocrity, that's fine. But the Tannehill defenders don't want to accept that it is much more logical and likely from a long term perspective to find an elite quarterback -- no matter how many tries it takes us -- than it is to forge an elite roster around Ryan Tannehill that just happens to peak at the exact time he is ready to manage a title with that roster.
As an older fan I'd prefer to have that 10-12 year window when anything is possible. Victories in this league are monopolized right now by offenses that score big every week.
I prefer freakish defense but I also know applied odds, and the likelihood of forging a Ravens 2000 or Seahawks 2013 defense is next to nothing. And even if you get there too many guys have to be paid so it can't last more than 2-3 seasons tops. That quarterback can keep going and going like Energizer.
Tannehill needs to remake himself quickly or we should move on.
I think most people here would agree with this. It's the far pro thill and the far anti thill crew that we hear the most from so the noise seems lop sided. I like thill as a QB and think we can win with him but I also would not be against bringing in a HIGH draft pick. I don't want some 3-7 round developmental piece as my QB. If we are gonna invest draft capital in a QB I don't want a half ass attempt.
