1 is worst - 32 best 10. Miami Dolphins - 1) Ryan Tannehill, 2) Matt Moore In baseball, there's the well-known stat WAR, which stands for Wins Above Replacement. The idea is that it takes the most average baseball player and then evaluates how many more wins another player produces over the course of a season. Bryce Harper, for instance, had 9.3 WAR in 2015, meaning he was good for nine wins himself. Why am I mentioning all this in a football post? Because Ryan Tannehill is the embodiment of an NFL "replacement player." http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...ing-the-best-worst-cowboys-eagles-pack-050416
 
It is much easier to rate an individual in baseball because he individually has errors or bad at bats. There is no one that has to contribute to him stopping the ball or striking out on his team. Tannehill despite having a line that is below average, has played mostly with not only a below average line, but a line where most of the best players were hurt with well below (actually) horrible back ups. Yet he has still produced back to back 4000 yard seasons, a 2-1 TD to int rate, and played every game. Replacement player my hairy Jets!

Using baseball theory for evaluating a football player is as useful as pissing in the wind. Absolutely ZERO correlation.

I don't think the writer is claiming to use a baseball stat to evaluate Tannehill. He give a "replacement player" definition and says that is who Tannehill is - the 'average" player.
