Phillip Rivers for Tannehill + our number 1- Would you?

[zach attach]

This is just for fun in the offseason.
There is a report that Rivers is not signing an extension for any time beyond '15. And maybe S.D. trades him to Tennessee to get the number 2 pick (Mariotta).
I know we have the 14th, but what if Tannehill went with that 14?
Would you be ok as fans to let our franchise qb go to get a 33 year old (9 playoff appearances) Rivers for a Super Bowl run in the next few years?
I'm not suggesting we do this, just for fun to hear arguements either way. Are we all Tanny or bring in a playoff experienced guy?

No

 

[FSU Truth]

Yes, Yes, a thousand times Yes...

 

[YungRobbin]

No.

Its not like we're a good QB away from being the favorites so why throw away a good cheap and young QB when I honestly believe his ceiling is close to Rivers.

I wouldn't even trade Tannehill straight up for rivers.... I'm not sure rivers is much better at this point and i really can't deal with another 10 years of searching for a qb after rivers retires in 2 years..

It's true Rivers is not in the elite category, but he has playoff experience, football wisdom, and dare I say..a deep ball? haha

I like Rivers, he is one of my favorite QBs, but NO...

The Dolphins need to compete this year and build a team to continue to compete in the future.

They need to draft QB's and bring them up in this system. If Tannehill does not take a step forward this season, then they need to draft a QB and throw him in to the mix

 

[truedolfan57]

no

 

[Nawledge]

Hell no

 

[AphexPhin]

HELL NO. Did you see Rivers against Miami last season? lol

 

[nick1]

Not in a million years. Rivers is barely any better as it is. Tannehill will be far better

Are you guys kidding me....Philip River is 10 times the Qb Tannehill is, **** I would give them RT, a first, Dion Jordan, and another later pick. Well worth it to take this team to the next stage. Plus he has a good 5 year left. **** it would be similar to adding Manning to the Broncos.
