"Tannehill is going to get more people fired. He's not done" - Shannon Sharpe
- Thread starter Yessir
- Start date
Yawn....
Like his job is to put people on the street, 
what an idiotic statement.
Sherman got fired because his offense could have been seen by Stevie Wonder and Lazor got fired for the same reason along with no will to adjust or release any trust to his QB.
I will say this though, if there is one person he drags down with him, fingers crossed it's Omar Kelly....

Did anyone read the whole thing? A few QBs you might have heard of thought a little differently in that same article...
Others view him more favorably.
CBS’ Phil Simms said he is going to be the starter here for a long time.
“He’s a really solid NFL quarterback,” Simms said. "[Longterm], we’ll judge him on the won/loss record.”
Rich Gannon:
“They need [a head coach] with a proven record to clean things up and somebody who can put together a staff to resurrect the quarterback’s career, somebody that can really get this guy playing with confidence and changing a little bit of his demeanor with his teammates,” CBS analyst and former NFL MVP Rich Gannon said by phone. “This isn’t like JP Losman or Colin Kaepernick. He throws the ball well enough.
“He has made steady progress in terms of completion percentage, decision making, touchdown to interception ratio. The guy is tough and durable. What’s troubling is the most important stat of all, which is wins and losses. That’s ultimately how you’re judged in our business.”
Gannon said Tannehill “reminds me of [Cincinnati’s] Andy Dalton but hasn’t shown the consistency [that Dalton has this season]. Dalton worked with [QB guru and former MLB pitching coach] Tom House. There is some merit to working with someone. Ryan has thrown the deep ball so much better and has to continue to work on it. I’m a prime example: It’s an area you can get better.
“Everything around Ryan is impacting his production or lack of production. I look at changes with the coordinator, with the head coaches, the front office and philosophical changes. Being sacked so many times. All these things impact growth and development at that position.”
Gannon said Tannehill “has to be more demonstrative. I would like to see him show some emotion at some point. If it’s me, I’m marching to New York to [owner] Stephen Ross’ office [this offseason] and say, ‘I’m pissed off and I want to see change. I’m not going to tolerate this anymore!’ Unless he’s OK with how things are. Some guys are OK with that.”
Gannon said he told his Raiders teammates in 1999, “If this [expletive] doesn’t change, I will sell life insurance.” Gannon wants to see that fire from Tannehill.

No biggie....I'm sure they will get merged.
A couple of these comments (from Sharpe and Simms) have been out there for awhile. Nothing wrong with some healthy criticism based on our offensive performance......it's not like we are setting any scoring records.
I will say that is something that was different this Sunday. Commentators saying that he was pissed off, slamming his helmet, chewing people out. That didn't happen very often in the old offense.
When you are invested in something you care more. Tannehill was never invested in Lazor's offense, he had no input to any of it. Now that he has a voice, I suspect you will see more emotion...

I had to post this part since OP just posted TE Shannon Sharpe's opinion and left out the comments from the QBs Phil Simms and Rich Gannon. Kind of a misleading take on the article if you ask me.
At least mention the fact that Simms and Gannon (two QBs, not TEs) had positive things to say about the kid if you are going to start a thread about Shannon Sharpe saying the polar opposite. It was all in the same article lol. Its not like Dolphin fans need any help getting frustrated with RT17 this year.
But hey, negativity makes the best headlines! Just ask Omar Kelly.

Good piece by Barry Jackson, as always. Of course the OP would choose that quote as the thread title.
I guess this whole Tannehill debate will end in a year or so. I don't see the team keeping him in 2017 if they're still undecided on whether or not he's the "guy".
