I agree that Tannehill has the potential to be a Franchise QB, but i do not agree with your opinion of Lazor. Its still early and the offense is still coming together as a unit, which i believe is a big reason for a lot of the mishaps on the field. There has definitely been a few head scratching play calls by Lazor, keep in mind though he is 3 games into his NFL OC career so we are going to see that here and there until he learns not to get cute like you can in college. I'd like to see more designed roll outs, jet sweeps to Wallace, and misdirection runs but overall i am pleased. Look for around week 6 or 7 for the offense to take off, as i believe there will be more fluidity within the unit from less thinking and more executing from the players standpoint. POOR EXECUTION (penalties, dropped passes, poor accuracy at times) has put the offense in holes at times and we just dont have the offensive talent to dig our way out of those drive after drive.
Tannehill looks to me like hes focusing too much on improving his footwork, and its throwing the timing off with his receivers causing him to miss the open window to hit his first, and sometimes second receiver. Just go out and sling the damn rock kid! He also needs to learn to use his eyes more often to manipulate the defense to prevent batted passes and having routes jumped. Especially since he seems to be making pre determined reads before the snap quite often and staring down that receiver for the entire route. His accuracy has improved since week 1, and he seems to be getting the ball out sooner. Lazor needs to understand that Ryan will not carry this team to the playoffs on his arm alone, the play calling has to be more balanced or it will be a long season.
My biggest concern to tell you the truth is our receiving core. Wallace looks ok so far in the system (although forced at times), Landry has been alright. Hartline, Gibson, Matthews, and Clay have not shown up so far this season. Truth of the matter is our receivers are slow, and do not have a big catch radius to help out the qb at all. Poor coaching has to come into play with this group as well, i just do not like how our receivers don't seem to be taught to attack the ball at its highest point. This is a HUGE problem with Wallace on his fades, he always tries to bread basket the ball instead of reaching up for the ball at the high point to increase the catch radius so the ball has to be placed on the money in his arms or its incomplete.
