A chunk of the reasoning for parting with what amounted to 135 receptions in 2014 was because Tannehill apparently didn’t have an affable relationship with those departed wideouts, according to the Sun Sentinel’s Omar Kelly.
“His receivers did not like him last year and they didn’t hide it,” Kelly said on WQAM’s Joe Rose Show Monday morning. “All the receivers that didn’t like him have been dumped except for Rishard Matthews. We’re getting to the point now where if you don’t like Ryan Tannehill you’ve got to go. And I understand that but there are players who are saying ‘we’re hitching our wagon to the wrong person.’
“Ryan is a trending player — he’s the 14th best quarterback in the NFL. You have no other options. You need to ride him out until the wheels fall off because there are no other options to replace him, especially right now. But he needs to be a better leader and he’s working on that.”

The Miami Dolphins QB ranked 14th in quarterback rating, 14th in QBR, and was Pro Football Focus’ 11th best quarterback last season after passing for 4,045 yards and 27 touchdowns, both career highs.
The Dolphins have a decision to make with Tannehill, who’s entering the fourth and final year of his rookie contract. They have a May deadline to extend him a fifth-year option worth around $15 million. The alternatives include extending him to a long-term deal or letting him hit unrestricted free agency in 2016.
“This is your poop-or-get-off-the-pot season,” Kelly said. “Not like there’s any other option but you’re about to pay Ryan Tannehill, not this year but in 2016 — you’re going to have to give him a $100 million contract. And that’s just the reality of the NFL today and right now he hasn’t produced a winning record in the NFL.”

Re: Tannehill's WRs didn't like him last year. Jarvis Landry liked him. Just sayin'
 
Yeah, Matthews dislikes Tannehill so much that he refused to work with he and Landry during the offseason...oh wait, that's the opposite of what is happening.

Omar must have pictures of someone in compromising positions, or generate a ton of revenue for the Herald, because there is no way anyone can justify his employment as a professional sports writer.
 
Omar's been hanging out with Miko too much.

Either way there are plenty of people in Miami bashing Tannehill.
 
I believe it. Look at what Grimes and Hartline said about RT and I'm sure Wallace wasn't a fan. Everyone has a million excuses for RT but maybe it is that he just isnt that good. There isn't currently a better option, but this team is short sighted if they don't bring in competition for QB and they should be drafting someone every year until someone proves that they are the guy.
 
This thread is gonna be fun to watch.

In all seriousness if they didn't like him it is what it is. But really only Wallace has a legit gripe to me.
 
Lol Omar is an idiot. Well apparently Bree's had issues with some players, Wilson had some issues with Harvin, and on and on. Deva WR's has been an issue as long as I can remember. So what else is new omar?
