If you know me from my time here, you know that I obviously forgot to add my <sarcastic/> font....Not fair or true.

So Drake scored all 34 points? How did Drake get the ball on his one play?drake
I forgot Drake hit Stills on those absolute dime strikes and threw that beauty right down the middle to Butler too. Still said thanks Drake for helping me get 135 yards and a TDdrake
As un-athletic as Eli Manning seems to be, we all saw him extend a play in the SB against the Patriots that set them up for the upset (Tyree catch). I can't recall a time I've ever seen Ryan Tannehill make that kind of play despite being a better, stronger athlete.
After the meltdown in the Bengals game and seeing the offense perform better without him against the Bears, I was about ready to give up on Tanne for good, after years of unconditional support. However, he has played very good and efficient football these last few weeks, in spite of the shoulder injury. I'm cautiously optimistic that he might finally be consistently good if he stays healthy and confident, which is enough to win with, even if he'll never be a pocket magician like Rodgers or Marino. I would say no to Bridgewater or any other free agent stopgap at this point. Just find a decent backup and draft defence and OL in 2019, it's not the year to take a qb high anyway. Give Tanne another year to see if he can keep it going. If not, do whatever it takes to get a top qb in the 2020 draft.
Seriously?
Steelers game in 2016 50 yard pass to Gray? Doesn't ring a bell? Jump to the 50 second mark in this clip for a refresher:
Ridiculous escape and run for a first down against the Chargers? Nothing?

Check out the 1:15 mark here (and just watch the whole thing while your at it):
There are more of these......
While I appreciate what you are saying, I'm sick of the "give Tannehill another year to see" mentality. Another year to see what? If he can overcome an overall bad team and make the playoffs? win a championship? IMO, he led a very mediocre team to the playoffs in 2016 and he is giving a worse team to a chance to make the playoffs this year. The idea that this team will compete for a championship with any QB is laughable (see Rodgers, Aaron. Green Bay Packers 2018-2019).
Doesn't it occur to anyone (not singling you out) that it is BIZARRE to be talking about a QB overcoming the rest of the team (especially the OL) for all these years? Why the f**k is that still necessary?
Minnesota went out and got a QB. Who struggles with a bad OL. Surprised?chancing a ring. minn went out and got qb. GB goal was to go to sb with arron rodger. they just fail to produce. result firing there head coach..
After the Patriots game, there were quite a few posters here who had been down on him for a while giving him credit for that game, which IMO shows they don’t have an anti Tannehill agenda (Martel13 for example).Doesn't it occur to anyone (not singling you out) that it is BIZARRE to be talking about a QB overcoming the rest of the team (especially the OL) for all these years? Why the f**k is that still necessary?
Another year to see if he can stay healthy and consistent in playing at a level close to the one he showed in the last 3 games.
I didn't say we should keep making him try to overcome bad teams and expect him to win championships. If he had stayed healthy in 2017, we would have probably known by now if he is a true franchise qb or not. Maybe 2018 was meant to be his year, but he got injured again after a few games in which he wasn't bad but not really good either and since he came back he's been very good. I'm not blaming him for the injuries as we all know they happen, but it is what it is and that's why I think we should be cautious going forward. I'm not saying replace him, if he keeps playing well in the final games you clearly give him next year, but what if he gets injured yet again or if he has 5 or more games like the ones vs the Patriots or Bengals this year? I mean almost anything is possible with him at this point. I'm just hoping for the best and interested to see how he finishes the season.
He has a passer rating of 102.67 over the last 16 games with 29 TDs and 11 INTs, while leading a no better than average team to a 12-4 record. What, exactly, are you looking for?
If the previous 16 games haven't convinced you, the next three will not either.
I've expressed this several times in the past and certainly it doesn't apply to all of them.To be fair, its not a big number. And its really not difficult to figure out. Just look in every thread, and they pop up. While this team rightfully has given us reason to be a bit negative, I am talking about the few who will be negative all day and in every post.Trying to be negative after yesterday takes effort....pretty much all I am trying to say
Like I said, I'm looking for health and consistency. And I also hope he can somehow improve his ability to move around and buy time in the pocket, although I won't get into that debate, it's already been talked about enough. The 16 games you mention happened over a span of almost 3 seasons because of injury, so I'm not sure you can count it as a regular NFL season of 16 games and a 12-4 record. What if he gets injured again at the start of next year and misses say 8 games, do you still automatically keep him as a franchise qb, ignoring the 2020 class? That's why I want to see what happens this year and next before I reach a definite conclusion, and I believe that to be reasonable.
