You don’t have to give up your hard-earned right to be skeptical about all things Dolphins without agreeing Tannehill showed with a functional offense around him that he can be a winning quarterback.
That’s really the line of him. He’s not Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. He’s not one of the elites capable of lifting a team and making everyone better. But he can be good enough to help a decent team win in the manner, say, Matt Ryan or Alex Smith does.
He’s good enough, in other words, if the team around him is good enough. “Organizations make quarterbacks,’’ the great Bill Walsh said, and he should know, as Joe Montana and Steve Young had a great system with Hall of Fame talent around him in San Francisco. Update that to the last Super Bowl, when Philadelphia’s Nick Foles moved in for injured Carson Wentz and won.
That’s why of all the odd moves the Dolphins made this offseason –-- ridding themselve of talent, signing four free agents over the age of 32 by the first kickoff — hoping on Tannehill should be the most logical one.
You can question if the backups are sound enough or plot a future-thinking ideal, considering David Fales and Brock Osweiler weren’t exactly coveted by teams last year You can wonder if the Dolphins learned the value of having a trusted backup, especially with a quarterback returning from a long, injury absence.
But If Tannehill returns to health — and, really, knee surgery isn’t the limb-reducing concern of yesteryear — then there’s too much hand-wringing over the injury part of this.
That’s why this coming week matters. The Dolphins coaches, doctors, front-office and Tannehill have to decide how much work to have him do in the shorts- and T-shirt season of offseason workouts.
This will be an ongoing conversation through training camp and preseason, too, in a more pronounced manner than it is for any quarterback. It’s no secret why. The importance of them isn’t just obvious. The cost is going up, too.

1. Miami will have a new “franchise” QB in 5 years
2. 0 SB wins
3. The Dolphins don’t even know what their goal is.
4. Tannehill needs 21 pro bowlers around him...Most drafts yield one pro bowler for the average team. For Miami it takes about 3 years to draft a single pro bowler. Miami only has 2 pro bowlers on the team. So Miami needs to find 19 more pro bowlers for Tannehill. So no they won’t draft well for Tannehill. By the time Tannehill is ready to be an alternate of an alternate of an alternate at a pro bowl in 2022, 34 year Tannehill will still not have enough help with the meager 5 pro bowlers Miami could muster together for him.
I agree. We’ve been hearing that the team would be good enough. We got a glimpse in 2016. This is the year.

Ryan knows the system, and more importantly, has succeeded in it.
Think about what Drake did last year, now add a better o line and a healthy Ryan.
Guys, this is going to be a great year.

1. The Dolphins will be dominating the league
2. 4
3. Win a bunch of Super Bowls.
4. They will surround him will All Pros.
Aaron Rodgers only has one Super Bowl win. I bet you would still see a lot of complaining here even if the Dolphins did have Aaron Rodgers.

Complaining that he’s not getting help not that he’s not getting the job done. Different complaining.
