Thats cause its not a vertical passing game...and its your ocs doing
It's the guards, it's the OC, it's the RB not getting north and south. . . .
Lord knows Lazor called so much off balanced stuff to keep Miami in that game because he knows the liability this QB is to the entire offense when you get behind, and get one dimensional against this Buffalo defense.
Your lack of accountability towards the QB has reached levels of nauseum for many people.
We've watched this kid for 3.5 years . . . you really believe the OC is holding him back from a vertical passing game? Come on dude . . . Buffalo and New England were literally BEGGING Ryan Tannehill to throw the ball down the field . . . they know he won't and if for some strange reason he does and he connects, they come right back up and say "bet you can't do it again".
Rush 4, keep 4 in front of the first down . . . Ryan's almost always going short . . . . you think that is all OC? You think he's that robotic that the OC is forcing him to throw it short and allow his playmakers to break tackles to get the first? 3rd and 5 in the first quarter, throw it a yard short of the LOS and maybe Landry will get 6? If you really think the OC is directing him to do that . . . . they need to throw Ryan's azz on the bench because that's a complete lack of faith/trust in him that has built up over practice/games the last 1.5 years. Any SANE Qb is going to try to make plays and not do the same thing over and over and over . . . you know . . . thats the definition of insanity.
Lets not forget his tunnel vision on Landry almost always, even when covered, while Stills is the much better option in on that play in the 2nd half (don't worry, I'm not rewatching that crap, I truly am not that interested in seeing it again). Guess I can't blame him tho . . . Landry saved like 3 INTs today.
What about this kid in the pocket . . . at least he found the hot read once or twice today when Buffalo blitzed, but his feet are all jumbled, has no natural movement when trying to evade pressure, looks awkward as hell for some reason when trying to scramble . . . I mean if he's not being directed to run it's just uncomfortable for him to do it when the play breaks down . . . don't think teams don't know this about him . . . I'd almost keep him in read option because at least it forces him to make a split second decision on keeping or handing off. I don't like this kid having to think so much . . . smart kid, but he needs to be quicker.
He's the worst kind of quarterback man . . . so inconsistent, flashes enough just so you don't lose out hope on him and will always be better than the crap we've seen over the last 15 years . . . . which is the exact reason why he gets so much defense on this board . . . . we've seen the lowest of the low, and Tannehill isn't that and people don't wanna go back to that . . . but this kid will break your heart over and over until you realize 5 or 6 years have gone by and you are setting with a sub .500 record and no playoff appearances.
And he'll get his 5 years because his contract dictates him next year so we'll see this through but I have very little hope for him . . . he'll continue to flash every once in a while and people will get sarcastic with the "but he can't do this" . . . but in the end, he'll be the same inconsistent mess that has polarized this board arguably more than any player.
But go ahead and continue giving him every excuse in the book to comfort your opinion on him and continue asking me to point out specific plays (which I won't do because I don't rewatch or try to remember this type of crap) and ridicule me for not having them on a silver plate for you . . . . I don't claim to be a "guru" on analyzing football plays, in fact, I don't rewatch them . . . I watch enough football to know that this quarterback will never lead this team anywhere, he doesn't do the things that successful qbs in this league do on a consistent basis.
