Let's start Devlin "Rent" -> (tail wagging!!!!) uh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Admitting we whiffed on Tannehill is admitting that the franchise is set back another 3-4 years. He's lost to Thad Lewis and Mike Glennon, a who's who of bodies. Geno Smith is licking his chops to join that list.
We're at 25 games and counting with one game over 30 points scored and one game with 3 TDs. This is a span of games where multiple times either our special teams or defense spotted us a TD.. and we still can't score 30.
Tannehill is a backup quarterback in this league. I've seen all I've needed to see and you what that is? It's 5-6 more loses to finish the season. I believe our final record will be 6-10 to 7-9. That's not even mediocre.
From the day that Tannehill was drafted, many fin fans have been blinded by a "Sanchize" type mentality.
Literally, on the day that Tannehill was drafted, many on finheaven declared "Finally, we have our franchise quarterback".
I was flamed for saying he was a 2nd round talent, who we overreached with a top 10 draft pick.
Maybe Tannehill will develop into an elite QB. But nobody should just assume that he will. He could very well turn out to be a bust.
Regarding the Tannehill-Wallace inconsistency, various people blame Tannehill, Wallace, Sherman, etc. But consider that Wallace has a track record for elite success. Tannehill & Sherman do not.

To me, Wallace is still the same guy. He has always been a body catcher. Nobody should be astounded that he still is a body catcher, even after $60 million.
So before we anoint Tannehill the next great Miami QB after Griese & Marino, consider the possibility that Tannehill might actually be a mediocre talent.
How bout he shouldve generated more than 19 points in the other 58 minutes of the game vs a winless team? You know, the other 58 minutes when he had clean pockets to operate from the entire time. The other 58 minutes when he had his big play WR streaking down the sidelines wide open for a TD. The other 58 minutes when his defense set him up with VERY SHORT fields THREE TIMES in the 2nd half, yet he only managed 12 points.
Thats how in the world its Tannehill's fault.

I would assume it wouldn't have taken this season, and his last 3 games of 4TDs, 7Iints, 10-10-13pts, 10total 2nd half offensive points including 7 in the 4th qtr for you to lose the preternatural "choke hold" (pardon the pun) that Matty Melt has had on you. One only need to consider his championship, and other "win or go home" 2nd half and 4th qtr in particular performance to have abandoned that ship, right?

I mean it's certainly alright to come down on 2nd year qb, even if it might be prematurely, but honestly WV, going back to his ACC championship, if you haven't seen enough of Melty's 3rd and 4th qtr conclusiveness chokefests to admit to getting off the bandwagon, then I dunno how objective you really are about this :idk:
(queue all the Matty Minion's excuse rationalizing why he disappears in big games and 4th qtrs )

Matty had a healthy ATL team in it's prime and got the JOB done, I don't understand? Can you elaborate?
Yeah, he certainly always had the horses, and did well in regular season, but going back to his college conference championship game, you may as well put a MIA pic of him on a milk carton, cuz when it counts most, that's when he comes up least.... just look at his 3rd and 4th qtr performances.. if that doesn't cry "choke city" I dunno what does - yet because he's a good regular season QB when he's got the horses to harness, his slurpers always find excuses why he sucks so badly when he damn well better win or go home. Hell even the PO game he finally won , he did with 3pts in the 4th qtr after going into the 2nd half up 20-0. To quote the great Bob Dylan: "you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." If you want blue balls like we got from Noodle vs the Ravens, then Matty's your guy; if you want a "happy ending" you might be better off even pinch hitting buttfumbler in the postseason for him. So yeah, if someone can't see the forest from the trees when it comes to Melty, then you have to question that vision in general. Sorry for interjecting a dose of reality and i do like and appreciate WV, and he knows it, but this blind love for Melty is his achilles heel. Don't tell me a raw THill with what he has to work with is a failure if you're not gonna admit after 6 PO 2nd halfs that Melty shoots blanks when it matters most :idk:
Bro, Matty Ice has nothing to do with any of this. YOU brought him up. I havent even spoken of him in this thread until last post to point out your attempt at deflecting.
We got him all this talent this year, and he has thrown only 2 more TDs than INTs. He has 0 pocket presence, and by now he should realize he doesn't have all day to throw the ball or he's going to get sacked. The only reason we won on Thursday is because of the Defense. 4 turnovers and Tanny can't do anything with them. You guys act like he's some kind of god. Overrated at minimum.
