"It's tough whenever you don't have a chance to even really start your progression, or if you do, to get to [the] number two [progression]. There's no chance of that. It makes it tough. It makes it tough on everyone. The receivers have to be able to get open quickly. I think several of those were on third down situations, so it's tough to get to the open guy if you don't have time. ... [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Y[/FONT][FONT=&quot]ou have to have time to move. If your eyes are downfield and you're looking at one [and] you get hit from behind, it's tough to move at that point. As a quarterback — as a guy who has the ability to move — I feel like I need to be able to escape the pocket some and get out of harm's way."

Let's get to the current quarterback in Miami, actually. Despite preseason speculation suggesting Tannehill had finally found his quarterback whisperer in new head coach Adam Gase, he has been a mess this season. Tannehill has played one half of excellent football this season, and it came while trailing by several touchdowns to the Patriots in Week 2. During that second half, Tannehill went 22-of-27 for 273 yards with two touchdowns and a pick. Over the rest of the season, the Texas A&M product has been far worse: 78-of-129 for 999 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions. He has also fumbled four times and is taking sacks on 9.8 percent of his dropbacks. Miami's offense is certainly flawed, as evidenced by the Dolphins rotating through four running backs at times and cutting three offensive linemen on Tuesday, but Tannehill isn't helping.
The structure of the deal Mike Tannenbaum gave to Tannehill basically requires the Dolphins to make a decision on their starting quarterback in March. If they keep Tannehill on the roster, he's guaranteed an additional $14.8 million on top the $3.5 million the Dolphins already owe him for 2017. The Fins would owe Tannehill a total of $20.3 million of their cap room if he's on the roster after the fifth league day of 2017 and would shave $9.9 million off that figure by trading or releasing him.
At the moment, given how poorly he's playing and the range of options likely to be available, I suspect the Dolphins would move on from Tannehill, which would make him a buy-low target for the aforementioned Browns and 49ers, both of whom have head coaches who would possess an interest in a mobile passer. If Tannehill improves and performs like a league-average quarterback the rest of the season, it's more plausible that Miami would keep him for one final season and turn 2017 into a must-win campaign.

Likelihood of Tannehill leaving: 40 percent[/FONT]

Jesus, I did not realize he was sacked on 10% of his drop backs... that is NUTS!

This entire team is a joke right now . I'm not sure why people down here are so focused on Tannehill. I'm more worried about all the holes on this team and how long it will take to fix our issues ,

We need guards , we might need a right tackle if this continues , we need a tight end , we need running backs , we need linebackers , we need corners , we need defensive ends coming here soon ...

Sorry gentlemen , were far from being competitive

Andrew Luck: Blame me for holding ball on sacks

The Indianapolis Colts' offensive line is one the most maligned groups in the NFL for good reason. They have given up an NFL-high 20 sacks, 42 quarterback hits and have opened few holes for a ground game that has gone 55 games without a 100-yard rusher.

"You are going to have a clock in your head regardless of how much you are getting hit or not hit or sacked or whatever that is," Luck said, via ESPN.com. "Again, I have said this before, I don't think the sacks are necessarily indicative of how well our offensive line is playing. You can blame for holding the ball too long. It is that clock developing in the game."

I read his quote a few times, and I don't see the blame-shifting that everyone's trying to push, he includes himself in the team critique as well. He always talks about the offense as "we," it's a team-centric philosophy with him.

Conversely, Luck's "it's my fault" take just comes across as unrealistic / ingenuine to me. I think he knows he's just trying to cover for his teammates

Would this be the same Greg A Bedard who, for starters

Predicted a huge Carolina SB win over the Broncos

Claimed that Elway doesn't like QBs

Calmed Eagles fans that Sanchez would be a great stand-in for an injured Foles

Supported the Tebow trade to the Jets... and then predicted a good chance of Tebow beating out Sanchez for the starting job

Chastised Elway for not offering Kaepernick Osweiller money

Predicted the 2015 Cardinals would have a 10 game losing streak and end up 5-11

???
 
"As a quarterback — as a guy who has the ability to move — I feel like I need to be able to escape the pocket some and get out of harm's way."

This is shifting blame? LOL

All he did was basically say he cant even get off his first read to his second before contact comes. And when that 1st read isnt open (which was all game last week, no WR's were getting separation), you get the results you see.
 
People bitch when he doesn't point or call out players, now there bitching he did.
 
I've been waiting for this guy to step up to the plate and take 100% blame for his play on the field , Which any good leader would do. But he just goes along with the company narrative. " It's tough when you don't have time to start your progression " , no doubt shifts the blame to the oline. Tannehill does the same thing everytime someone is replaced partly due to his ineptitude. The play caller gets canned he shifts it to the play caller , coach fired , coach didn't believe in him etc.. I'm starting to think he's the one that likes to be babied. At this point there is 2 things you can be certain of Tannehill shifting blame and TannenBum doing everything possible to save his ass.

you should go to the dolphins website, there's videos there where he states he has to do better. But what the f Ks wrong with him calling out bad play. Everyone bitches that he doesn't act like a leader and now he's stepping up, and you're bitching.
