The ridiculous suggestion that will just not go away.......
Reason a coveted QB available at No. 11 would be great for Dolphins even if they don’t want him

- Start date
The ridiculous suggestion that will just not go away.......
So says the poster that never actually discusses the play on the field. I have never read a post of yours where you actually attempt to explain what is happening on the field.

Not blameless...but hardly the college pedigree of some of the QB's he's being compared to and really....the team and coaching staff that he has dealt with since his arrival and the beating he has taken ....he has the skill set to win...give him consistency on the coaching staff....and I don't know...an Oline?...a running back threat?....a true Alpha receiver?...a better than half a$$ed TE?....at least give him one or two of these....
Some of you talk as if the QB is SUPPOSED to be able to overcome the flaws of the entire team AND coaching staff and win regardless....unbelievable
Not be ready to start if you draft a QB in round 2 or 3?
OK, just like Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott weren't ready.
Honestly, idgaf about college anything once you're in the NFL. What you did in college doesn't matter. Also, Tannehill isn't the only QB/player in the NFL who has had to face changing staffs, injuries, adversity, questionable roster talent, etc.
The NFL is a results driven league. Period. Potential doesn't mean **** unless you do something with it.
We can play this "what if" game all we want, but it won't change any results. If Tannehill doesn't have the best year of his career in 2018, Miami will be in the market for a QB in 2019.
I like the guy, he's made some nice plays in his career, but when he was drafted, we ALL hoped he would be a better player and have a better career than he has currently had.
More is against Tannehill than for him right now. And that's a fact.

And nor does yours unless you can explain having one of the best head coaches in NFL history in Shula, one of the best QBs in Marino, and no Super Bowls to show for it. Remember, not one other position matters....

True enough. But that's two (and I know you can find a couple of more) starter worthy QBs from beyond the 1st round, but how many didn't make the cut?
And how many first-rounders also didn't make the cut?

I really think that is the pick if he's there at #11. He's also the player I'd want assuming Derwin James is gone by then. James IMO would be perfect for what we need on defense.
First round QBs fare much better, it's not even close...

Fair enough....Didn't mean to get you all riled up...
but it is tough to face every one of those obstacles every season...(or so it seems)...can't the FO at least help narrow or shorten the obstacle course....
the front office should have had contingency plans all along with a developing QB...Tannehill hasn't shown to be the guy you fear behind center for whatever reason(s)....but I believe he is a good QB not a game changing QB...he has overcome adversity and the injury will be another set back that he will overcome...my point was he is not blameless ....there are only a handful of players at any position that can be a game changer week in and out...the QB position is probably the most scrutinized
I don't think many QB's in the league could have done a HUGE difference in terms of the win/loss column with our team for the past few seasons...IMO of course...
Yes, but just because you draft a QB in round 1 doesn't mean it's going to work out. That's the point.

Bad move.. 5 QB,s in 1st round means 1 can be Elite. 2 mediocre and 2 busts. That's normal these days. Roll with Tannehill and see what he can do. If a bad season then it's definitely worth to draft QB next year. This yea r we need Defense and OL and a RB... QB ain't really worth it unless we trade up and get Rosen. IMO I think Mayfield and Allen are busts.

While this is true, if we had chosen a QB that is a significantly better then tannehill (Rogers or brees or the eagles qb.) the team would have a piece to build around - things coalesce around the QB

I wouldn't mind using a 2nd or 3rd on Kyle Lauletta.
