Ryan TanneFiedler

I was at that last playoff win in Dolphin history...Lamar Smith(208 yards) and the Dolphins Defense won that game.

Jay Fiedler DID NOT win that game.

1 td pass and 3 interceptions....brilliant.

3 interceptions in the next weeks playoff game in the 27-0 embarrassment against the Raiders.

Jay Fiedler's 2000 playoff game performance.........1 td - 6 interceptions!

I thought we had put Jay Fiedler away long ago...amazing some still re-write history and long for the days of his glory in Miami!
 
This thread and many of the posts in it are so wrong on so many levels
 
I know when it comes to other embedded, attention-whoring, BS-shoveling trolls, our powers that be show remarkable restraint - much more restraint than some of our fellow fins and opponents' forums will tolerate. I dunno if that's good or bad but sooner or later the sensory overload of this reality must surely come to trump their threshold of patience.

Ryans #'s aren't too much better then Fiedlers first two years in Miami..... QB rating is almost identical. Took RT 138 more pass attempts to throw for 4 more tds in their second years... RT fumbles more, and both of identical comp %'s.

This is beyond ridiculous. Jay Fiedler was a 4th and 5th year veteran of the NFL in his first 2 years in Miami. The fact that a guy with little more than 2 years total experience at the QB position outplayed him in his first 2 years says it all.
 
Not to mention that Fiedler was always swimming downstream and still couldn't get it done- where do the statistics factor in the advantages that Fiedler had and wasn't good enough to take advantage of- the solid defense, offensive line and Ricky Williams shouldering the load? Fiedler should have been uber efficient with those advantages. And he wasn't.
 
Add in to it if Fiedler could actually complete passes . Ricky wouldnt have been used so much that he had to go off to smoke in parts unknown. If I remember right that was one of his complaints and didnt want to end up like Earl Campbell! Fiedler couldnt complete anything over 15 yds. His arm was bad. He kind of reminded me of another noodle arm. Qb we had in Pennington. Only Penny was a better Qb.
 
Lets not forget the defense back then was stout with JT, Thomas, Surtain, and Madison. The team back then was built around the defense, and Fiedler still couldn't muster enough to make that offense more than decent.

With Ricky Williams, with that offensive line, with Chris Chambers, with Oronde Gaadsen, with Randy McMichael iirc. Fiedler was the gaping wound on that team, a good QB was the missing link. The idiot Wannstedt thought that he could do just fine without a good QB. As usual, he was wrong.

I seem to remember someone asking Wanny why he passed on. Brees. His response was something like what can Drew Brees do that Fiedler can't. That was a big clue to me how clueless of a coach Wanny was and his manlove for Fiedler. Those two belonged together one was a below average qb. The other a bad coach.

True, but I wonder how many pick 6's he would have this year with so many short out routes called...dudes arm was just a notch or two above noodle arm Pennington. Loved Fiedler heart and desire, but he isn't close to RT physically OR talent wise.
 
Jay tried. he had a decent defense and a good running game. Looking back, yes he threw too many picks. All in all though he was decent. I'd take him over Frerotte, Harrington, Culpepper, Lemon, Henne. He had heart. Tannehill has athletic talent. If you can't see that you're watching something else. Miami has their QB. You will see...it is written.

Jay was a good guy, smart, a solid athlete and he tried his guts out- he just wasn't good enough. The sin was with Wannstedt stubbornly and stupidly sticking with him, capped off by passing over him in the draft in favor of a tiny 3rd CB for his beloved defense. What a maroon. We passed on Drew Brees twice, and he was dying to play for us both times. Two clear shots at a Hall of Fame QB for a team desperate for a QB and we couldn't get it done. In hindsite Marino retired in 1999 and Brees came out in the 2001 draft- how nearly perfect would that have been for a transition. Jamar Fletcher over Brees and then Daunte Culpepper over Brees- 2 enormous, franchise altering boners for the Dolphins in the 21st century.
