Ryan Tannehill Has Smoothed Things Over With Coach.

[Daytona Fin]

3) Ryan Tannehill's fall?: Joe Philbin didn't carry on all week the way he did for nothing, apology or no apology. A couple people inside the building certainly made it sound to me like benching Tannehill is not out of the question, and that the head coach's public fence-sitting on naming a starter should serve as a de facto warning shot at the eighth overall pick in the 2012 draft. The problems with Tannehill? According to one informed party, the quarterback's ability to see the field hasn't developed as the team would've liked, nor has his pocket presence or deep accuracy. (That final issue is compounded by the heavy investment the club made in Mike Wallace.) It's added up to a quarterback rating that tops only three other qualifiers in the NFL, a completion percentage closer to 55 than 60 and a league-worst average of 5.03 yards per attempt. Miami, like Washington, will have to make a decision on its quarterback after the season, choosing by May whether or not to exercise an option that figures to hover around $15 million for 2016. Whether or not Philbin is involved in that call remains an open question. What seems clear is that he and the staff see backup Matt Moore as a potentially viable leader to get him there.

I don't think this is going away any time soon...

To me, Philbin has already sealed his fate. The two leaks to the press this week to Jason Cole and Greg Cote, about Marino and Ross's dissatisfaction with Philbin, are pretty huge.

The only question now is when Ross is going to be able to do it without looking hasty. After the way he botched replacing Tony Sparano in the absolute worst possible ways, he has to do this thing right this time and show that he's learned how to handle these decisions in an acceptable manner.

I think if the team poops the bed against Oakland, he can fire Philbin without looking the fool.

Agreed. I don't think all is so well right now. We have the defense complaining about Coyle's game plan and adjustments, the offense questioning Philbin (laying down at the end of the first half against Buffalo), all three units struggling and looking completely unprepared at the start of every game so far this season, and Philbin with his decision making and creating off the field distractions. It just seems a rift is growing between players and coaches.

I think this team is in a very fragile state, and if they don't start winning it is going to get pretty ugly.

Oh really? Is that why several players were openly confused by Joe's refusal to name the starting QB? Is that why Wake publicly said RT is our guy? You must be blinded by Philbin love to think this wont be a continued issue.

Maybe I missed it. But I did not see any players saying they were confused about him stating the obvious. I did see reports of the players openly stating RT was the starter, which verifies to me that EVERYONE eternally knew there was no QB controversy. And please stop placing labels (philbin lover) on people based on their opinions in various matters, not only is it inaccurate, silly and immature but it's also something I would expect from a troll like that Wallace17 dude.

The lack of basic logic and reasoning skills displayed by most on this site is astounding to me.

-Tannehill is playing like garbage, but thats ok because it typically takes a QB 8 games to learn a new offense.

-Joe Philbin needs to find a way to win in spite of bad QB play during that 8 game transition. if Joe Philbin can't find a way to win with poor QB play he needs to be fired immediately.

-Stephen Ross has proven to be extremely rash and agrees with the above logic.

On the flipside, the amount of egotistical *beefcakes* on this site that feel they need to insult those whom they disagree with is what astounds me.

If it's not the way Philbin dumped Johnson during hard knocks, the Martin/Incognito debacle of 2013, and now this Tannehill Vs. Philbin mess, it'll be something else. This team is a fricken hot mess...........

They don't have 8 games. That's what I don't think people realize.

You did miss it, the initial report that players openly laughed at the suggestion when asked by reporters. Matt Moore himself even joked about it.

As for your last item, how else do you want me to describe the minority of people on this site who will defend Philbin s ineptitude to the ends of the Earth without any sound, rational basis? I am not calling people "Philbin lovers" to be facetious, I honestly don't know what else to call them.

If they were confused, why did they openly laugh at it? Sounds like they knew the media was being ridiculous with the questions because THEY knew who their starter was. And my point was, you throw out philbin lover just because I disagreed with your opinion when in fact, at this point, I could care less if he stays or goes. But this blow up because he wouldnt succumb to media pressure is beyond overblown (as usual).

And to your point: If you arent one of those egotistical *beefcakes*, then you shouldnt be offended. I wasn't referring to you (or anyone in particular) in the first place. Im sorry bad words offend you.

I wasn't referring to you as a Philbin lover, so why were you offended? Dude, you are ridiculous.

Geez. I'm sorry I was so confused. :rolleyes2:

Oh wow, so you were referring to THAT? I thought you were referring to another post, because I did make a post referencing "Philbin lovers". Jeez, you are one oversensitive dude. How is that any different than what you wrote in a previous post I was replying to?

Posted by psfign:

I can't believe ANYONE would actually believe anything you just said here. To think that any of the players care or would be concerned about any of this is just flat out ridiculous to me. I'm sure they're rolling their eyes at the media's stupid assumptions.

Basically implying I am a complete moron for even suggesting it...

I see your point. And I'm sure you think I was overreacting based on the egotistical prick comment....but honestly, I wasn't even thinking about you when I typed that. It wasn't directed at our conversation. I'm at work. Doing other things at the same time. I can see how you must've assumed I was referring to you as it was right after I complained about your comment.

Move on by going 2-2.

Yup, thats the ticket right there.. Win and go 2-2 into the bye, with pretty much everyone back for Greenbay at full strength.. HOPEFULLY Moreno! I feel it all hinges with him..
