Cousins is a 4th round draft choice and drafted as a backup. Anything he gives you is a bonus.
And it was us Dolphins fans who ridiculed the Jets for draft Sanchez high after a very short career in college. The same ridicule we used for the Jets is now being used as an excuse for Tannehill.

If OP posted it here as a good old fun thread that is one thing. But putting it into the public domain it makes it creepy.
So do you support Tannehill or not? I get the whole 1st vs 4th round pick thing, and the expectations that come with that, although I don't necessarily agree. There are a lot more factors that determine if a young QB will succeed--1st or 4th round. Except for the once in a generation QB's like Luck and Manning most require time to develop. There is no way Aaron Rodgers would be who he is today without sitting behind Favre as long as he did. Tannehill was thrown in the fire with less weapons than a pop gun his 1st year, then sacked 58 times his second year. Is that all on him? Even with all of that he had the best season a Miami QB has had since Marino. Things are better this year but to expect him to be an eltie QB at this point is irrational. I agree he has become tentative and needs to make more plays, but he is not getting a lot of help from his teammates either. I think we lead the league in drops. I'm not making excuses for him, but to put the franchise all on his shoulders is crazy. If you feel like you need to blame someone, then blame the leadership of the organization--Ross and Philbin. The Miami Dolphins needs new leadership and when, not if, that happens I think you will see us move out of the basement again.
