All the Tannehill debates are just like when we had Henne as our starting QB. Both sides debated endlessly about whether or not he was a starting caliber QB, if he was going to be our franchise QB, if he was mediocre, good, very good, maybe one day elite. He had the arm, the experience in college, came from a top football school, was a high rated prospect, ect. Then the Henne era came a close, and now he's a career backup. While both Henne and Tannehill are two very different QBs, both have the same career trajectory: both gave us blue balls from the duration of their time here, with flashes of brilliance occasionally with a lot of terrible plays and decision making in between. That's what a backup QB is. If anything, we've spent way too much time, energy, brain power, and money hoping that these career backup QBs we've drafted turn into Marino when they were never even close to being anywhere near as good. At least we didn't waste as much time on Henne as we have with Tannehill. It's pretty inexcusable how long we've been waiting for Tannehill to finally fully develop. Hell, look at the QBs that were available recently. Foles took PHI to the Super Bowl and maybe almost got them there this year. They didnt bring him back even when Wentz keeps getting hurt. Case Keenum took Minny to the NFC championship and he was let go over signing Kirk Cousins. Bortles took JAX to AFC championship and was cut this year. All these QBs are about as average as Tannehill has been for us, yet they accomplished alot more (granted along with other factors) and their teams knew better than to keep them around for too long, knowing their limitations prevent them from being a franchise QB you build around. We gave Tannehill 7 years and we have little to show for it.
