Russell Wilson could have been a Miami Dolphin

[Ben Had]

Wilson plays for the seahawks...Tannehill plays for the dolphins. 2 very different teams that cant be compaired.

Russell Wilson is the most overrated quarterback in the nfl. Guy has a once in a generation defense behind him. Lynch is the entire offense.

Wilson on Miami would be the same thing that Tannehill or worse. We would not be in the playoffs with Wilson.

This is what you call overrated. I disagree

Lol you're my guy hoops, but what I'm saying is irrefutable, and you know it. The other factors you'd like point out are largely insignificant on the grand scheme of things. We're talking about elevating what's around you. We're talking about execution and consistency.

You are what you are. It's undeniable that Wilson elevates teams play. He's a proven commodity now. He did it in college, and he's doing in the Pros. There's no proof that Tannehill does as such. None. That's simply the reality right now. It could change, but that it is today.

Simple question.

Given what we know based of their collective body of work to date, if you needed to win one game right now, which quarter back do you want under center? If you're honest with yourself, I think we both know the answer.

i can't really answer that cause i don't see it that cut and dry...i will say though that wilsons intangibles are higher level right now...i don't dispute that one bit...so maybe right this minute wilson would be the smarter play...but i also see the differences in the coverages and the looks and tannehill is absolutely a better presnap read and progression qb...wilsons better in the pocket as in more elusive and his feel for the game is higher right now as well...but tannehills ceiling is higher...tannehills more disciiplined in his drop

i think it really comes down to one was more prepared than the other and probably still is...but at the same time i think the one not as prepared is making strides and catching up and if he does reach his ceiling in a few years is absolutely higher

tannehill is not chump change by any stretch...his tape is pretty damn good trust me on that...the other thing is tannehill is a qb who just happens to be an athlete...he wants to stand in the pocket and go thru progressions...and he can do it too when he has time...wilsons more the athlete playing qb who also has some pocket abilities but it's not hard to hide deficiencies if all you ever get is one on one looks and never see complex coverages cause you are pretty much always ahead of the sticks or you never have to break from plan a cause your defense is shutting down the opposition every game...it's just not...wilson and tannehill both take care of the ball damn well...

Ehh, I think you're overlooking a major aspect here, and thus skewing reality.
You're saying Wilson makes his team better and Tannehill doesn't, as though that's fact, but what's also fact is that Wilson's team around him is indeed better than Tanne's despite the QB position. Making a serviceable team better is easier than making a lousy team, good. Just look at the coaching. Carroll and Philbin, you'd put them on equal footing? Dan Quinn and Coyle? Tannehill's OC since college is Mike Sherman, only having Lazor for 1 year? Some hefty differences here, and I just don't see it.

After struggling to find a decent young QB for over a decade, we found a good one in Ryan Tannehill who continues to improve each season. Yes, Wilson defied the odds and won a Super Bowl in his second year, but we still drafted well in selecting Ryan. There should be no mental castigation on this one (well, maybe some from the 2nd round pick Jonathan Martin).
Every year there are good Draft picks and bad ones. No team selects well every time. Considering that over half of the picks turn out to be misses, to now be dismayed by the selection of Tannehill instead of Wilson, seems off base.

 

[JCane]

Considering what the Miami Dolphins are, I'm pretty impressed with what Ryan Tannehill has been capable of being.

 

[roy_miami]

I know plenty of people who aren't Dolphins fans who don't think Wilson is anything special . Getting a piggy back ride doesn't make you a great qb. He's average

Thats not the same as them saying they would take Tannehill over him.

If only Tannehill had Lynch...

 

[susser2000]

Seattle doesn't throw the ball as much as Miami. Wilson hasn't sniffed 4000 yards passing; he is a product of a system with great players. He doesn't throw a lot of INTs, but that's because he doesn't need to throw it as much.

And there it is, passing yards is now the most important QB stat. Wilson leads in every other stat except that one, so that must be the one and only predictive stat that matters...

Who gives a ****? We could have had just about ANY player in any draft if we wanted to pay he price to get them. I like Tannehill, and prefer him over Wilson. Wilson wouldn't be nearly as successful without Lynch and that ridiculous defense. Put Wilson on our current team and I don't think he'd have nearly the success he has had with Seattle. His skills sets fit in nicely with what they're doing. Tannehill fits in our program.

 

[uk_dolfan]

its the draft. he could have been taken by anyone. thats the point

 

[Finland]

Ummmm....can someone send this fella a private message offering some cousling...he seems to take what is said on a forum far too seriously and cares way too much about this...I would, but I'm not qualified to deal with crazy...

These types of "Aww did I hurt your feelings" type of replys are lame. Do you act like this in the VIP section?
I've thought of joining, but wonder if there is really any difference.
I like your posts, so I know you can do better. What's the point in it?

Picking Russell would have required far more balls and brains than Ireland ever had.

Ya to that

 

[Dthrill_08]

If we drafted Wilson and hawks drafted tannehill we would be saying "we should of drafted tannehill"
