Pretty sure he had his answer, which is why he wanted to draft Carr in the first round.
Well . . . that is what we have to find out. It is true that nobody is really giving Joe Philbin the benefit of the doubt in regards to his handling of Ryan Tannehill . . . . but if he really wanted Carr, he should of let this kid drown if he can't handle running an offense.
Even at the risk of losing his job?
With a healthy oline, Tannehill would be competing with QB's 11-15 on this list.
1. Aaron Rodgers QB / Green Bay Packers
2. Tom Brady QB / New England Patriots (Only because of age, and this is a big maybe)
3. Ben Roethlisberger QB / Pittsburgh Steelers
4. Cam Newton QB / Carolina Panthers
5. Carson Palmer QB / Arizona Cardinals
6. Drew Brees QB / New Orleans Saints
7. Andrew Luck QB / Indianapolis Colts
8. Russell Wilson QB / Seattle Seahawks
9. Philip Rivers QB / San Diego Chargers
10. Eli Manning QB / New York Giants
11. Tony Romo QB / Dallas Cowboys
12. Matt Ryan QB / Atlanta Falcons
13. Andy Dalton QB / Cincinnati Bengals
14. Blake Bortles QB / Jacksonville Jaguars
15. Joe Flacco QB / Baltimore Ravens
16. Matthew Stafford QB / Detroit Lions
17. Derek Carr QB / Oakland Raiders
18. Jameis Winston QB / Tampa Bay Buccaneers
19. Jay Cutler QB / Chicago Bears
20. Alex Smith QB / Kansas City Chiefs
21. Ryan Tannehill QB / Miami Dolphins
22. Kirk Cousins QB / Washington Redskins
23. Teddy Bridgewater QB / Minnesota Vikings
24. Marcus Mariota QB / Tennessee Titans
25. Brock Osweiler QB / Houston Texans
26. Tyrod Taylor QB / Buffalo Bills
27. Sam Bradford QB / Philadelphia Eagles
28. Mark Sanchez QB / Denver Broncos
29. Geno Smith QB / New York Jets
30. Robert Griffin III QB / Cleveland Browns
31. Blaine Gabbert/Colin Kaepernick QB / San Francisco 49ers
32. Jared Goff QB / Los Angeles Rams
With a better O-line, these names in bold are QBs I believe Tannehill could/should be better then...Obviously I don't think Ryan will better then all those QBs, but Ryan has the skill to be as good or better then all those QBs in bold.
well he lost his job anyway so in hindsight, yes
oh boy, that's quite a list. Just one question, how is he as good/could be better/should be better than Tom Brady who is arguably the best QB of all time but he is not as good/shouldn't be better/couldn't be better than Philip Rivers who is arguably one of the most overrated QBs in history?
Allowing a QB to fail because you want another signal caller is more criminal than anything Philbin did in Miami.

Because Dolphins #1.
he did allow a qb to fail. he allowed tannehill to be abused to the point of leading the NFL in total sacks and liters of bloody piss.
if he "wanted carr" so bad, then he should have drafted him. not come out of the tannehill closet after the fact in an attempt to redeem himself and put down the qb of a team he no longer coaches.

Eagles have a different situation than the Dolphins. They are completely starting new and needed badly to inject some excitement into the fan base there by drafting Wents. Dolphins did all that promoting with the new jerseys and Tannehill as the future. They don't want to give up on him. And in my opinion, the only way you replace Tannehill is if there is a major upgrade available at QB. None of the QBs in that draft IMO were huge upgrades over RT.
Why did you bring up James, Albert and Pouncey then?
Pretty sure he had his answer, which is why he wanted to draft Carr in the first round.
Carr hasn't proven to be any different that Tannehill.
Hasn't sniffed a winning record..
And I highly doubt he purposely let Tannehill fail.
