Tannehill completed 17 of his 28 attempts without a turnover Sunday and hooked up with tight end Dominique Jones for a one-yard touchdown pass.
Miami was down a score late as Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff 96 yards to bring the Dolphins to a 27-23 victory over their rival, the New York Jets.
But he’s on pace for the fewest passing yards, completions and touchdowns since his rookie year, and fewest attempts of his career. He’s averaged just 202 passing yards in the Dolphins’ three-game winning streak.No Dolphins player had more than three catches or 42 receiving yards against the Jets. The Dolphins had just two offensive touchdowns Sunday and might have lost if not for Kenyan Drake’s 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
“Obviously, there were some frustrating points in the game,” Tannehill said. “We didn’t make plays when we should have.”
Still, the Dolphins have their first three-game winning streak since 2014, and Tannehill has made timely winning plays during the run. In the process, they’ve climbed back to .500 and into the playoff conversation.
“We have some momentum,” Tannehill said. “I think we’re playing some good football right now. Obviously, today wasn’t as clean as we’d like it offensively, but we’re on the right track.”

All you have to do is look at last years Super Bowl Champs to answer that question!
 
he kept us in that game, he will have to do more. Not much more if you can get a consistent run game but I like how gase didn't abandon the run even when it struggled much of the game.
 
We need more from the passing game for sure but every game plays out different. You have to manage the game and see what's working and what's not. The score can dictate a lot too. I believe Tannehill started 13 for 16 but Still went out sick, Parker was not 100% and the pass pro wasn't very good so we kept it close to the vest. On to SD

Ozzy rules!!
 
this is gonna be a tough offseason decision.
we can win with him... but we're rarely gonna win because of him.

Can someone please tell me why he is playing if he is not 100%?

^ this sums it up perfectly. I still don't think Tannehill is irreplaceable. Nothing wrong with brining in more competition.
 
if this is the type of offense we are going to run i'm fine with it, but we don't need a $20 mil qb to be successful with it. we have a qb whisperer coach. can't we get an 8-10 mil guy and spend the money we save on defense? im even fine with tannehill staying if he takes a pay cut. we don't need a great qb in this offense.
 
Dak Prescott would be a nice replacement. Maybe we could trade RT and DVP to Dallas?
 
I think Tanny can easily sustain 149 yards per game..
:D

We probably need him to do a bit more than that though :p
