Watching all these "every Ryan Tannehill Dropbacks", one thing is very really stands- he has the slowest release of any QB in the league. Even when the play is right in front of him. To make matters worse, Gase is calling a long developing route for the receivers. I have been his biggest fan but I doubt we will ever see a winning season with him at the helm. Even when he has his best game during the second half on NE's game, he still made horrible mistakes.

I think his release is decent. It's between the ears I have issues with.
 
His release is probably the only thing he has going for him.

Everything else is garbage....
 
His release is fine. His footwork is sloppy and he holds on to the ball too long because he's got a low football IQ and can't see the field or anticipate.

This information is a bit dated: https://www.profootballfocus.com/signature-stat-snapshot-time-to-throw/

But still #4 Snap to release 2.57 seconds.

How exactly did you come to your conclusion?

When Bill Walton called Jazz games, he would always talk about John Stockton's mental quickness. Tannehill's release is actually very quick, but that's only when his brain tells his body to move. That sounds obvious to the point it's comical, but QB is a complex position, and to excel, you have to know it well enough that you're acting on instincts and muscle memory. I never felt Tannehill reached this point. When he makes an instinctive play, it's like seeing an exotic animal. He made one of these plays against SD two years ago, where he escaped the rush and threw a TD pass while rolling to his left. People used it as an example of how instinctive he is, but they failed to consider how infrequently Tannehill made similar plays (not just for TD's).

He still has time to turn it around, but the window is closing.
