Because, seriously, it amuses the #### out of me.

Tell me again about how you find new ways for him to be a failure with your selective stats or unclassifiable intangibles.

Tell me again about how "Great QBs find a way to win." Because that's what just happened. You sit back on your laurels when the defense collapses and point at things like that. Now that the D stood up, you'll probably say "If it wasn't for a miraculous play by our D, Tannehill would be a loser again."

Tell me. Tell me about stats that actually compare favorably to Manning and Brees.

Tell me about seconds before sacks happen, which is pretty much the same as turning loose one tiger on a piece of raw meat, and turning four tigers loose on a piece of raw meat, comparing them equally, then throwing up your hands and saying "HEY, THE STATS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!"

Tell me again how Tannehill is the next Chad Henne, when Helen Keller herself would show up, perceive the two to the best of her ability, then look at you incredulously and say, "What, are you ####### stupid?"

Tell me, regardless of what happens for the rest of this season, that this kid isn't worth the investment of letting him grow into the position. Because there hasn't ever been a situation quite like his.

Because after today, if you can SERIOUSLY do that, then just go ahead and say "I don't like Tannehill, no matter what." At least be ####### honest. Because if you don't, you're insulting our intelligence.
 
Tannehill is a baller just needs to work on the deep throw with Wallace just air that sucker out
 
He had good plays and bad plays today. People will forget one or the other.

Off the top of my head,

Good:

- Touchdown pass to Clay. Great play after the catch, but lost in that, great throw.
- Scrambling and staying in bounds with just over 2 minutes to play.
- Nice, decisive couple of throws to get the ball out of the shadow of our own goalposts at the end of the game. Go look at that throw down the seam to Matthews. That's a top tier throw right there, folks.
- Got the team up to the line quickly late in the game so that the Chargers couldn't sub personnel, but then milked the clock effectively. That was very nice to see.

Bad:

- The interception. Fooled by the coverage. Nice play by the defense. Still a lousy interception.
- Missed Wallace deep.
- Missed Hartline on that late play.
- Went out of bounds on the last play before the punt at the end of the game. Maybe that's only a four second difference, but we'd just seen him have the presence of mind to stay in bounds.


I haven't changed my mind. Let him continue to develop. And... GET HIM A REAL QUARTERBACK COACH.
 
How about we wait till he can string together some good games before you crown him elite. He usually has one good game, then one bad game so lets wait dude.
 
I like Tannehill, but he did make 2 costly mistakes at the end of the game that could have lost the game.

1. he missed a wide open Hartline to move the chains.
2. ran out of bounds on 3rd down, preserving the clock and a timeout for the Chargers.

He had a good game, but he did have a few glaring, potentially costly errors, including the aforementioned, the pick, and the deep ball miss to Wallace.
 
I want him to be the opening day starter week 1 next year.

Click to expand...

When he went out of bounds before the 2 kin warning. The play was irrelevant.
 
I think what you see with this offense is that everyone is error prone. Mike Wallace NOT AT FAULT on that deep miss, but he has definitely been at fault on others this season. Brian Hartline slipping, dropping the ball, then Tannehill has one miss on him later.

Again, no margin for error. Too many mistakes. Charles Clay was great today, finally had a game without drops, and that was the difference, IMO.
