The Dolphin Backup Qb situation.

I never underestimate folks with degrees in philosophy or music.

I was always a science nerd, but some folks I met with those other degrees turned out to be pretty sharp.

Music theory is very straining and difficult, if you REALLY learn it. It has its own science to it.

You might if all the following conditions prevail:

1) You have a tight cap that can be improved by trading one of our two backup QB's and reducing our payroll.

2) You can find an experienced Vet with the following skill sets & experience:
a) A Vet who has some playoff experience
b) A Vet who can provide the experience and skill set our PS QB will need, when playing as the "opposing team" QB in practice. (This is really important)
c) A Vet who has shown that he can come into a new system and be effective after just three or four games as a backup with the new team.

3) A vet who will be willing to come in at a price that will not reduce the newly increased cap space too much.

How well does Tannehill fit that set of requirements?

All of the above

Sorry but he is not.

I may have put up solid completion % numbers but I can't even count the yards he wasted because he threw behind a guy or made him slow down to catch the ball, instead of hitting him in stride.

This just isn’t so.

Tanny didnt exactly have a great receiving corp while with us.

He didnt seem to have problems connecting with AJ Brown.

We have guys that can get open, I think he will manage. (Although I'd imagine he will eat a lot of sacks behind this oline.)

I can live with the sacks if he can still move the sticks.

Here’s the thing:

There was a DISTINCT and pervasive narrative early in his career that Tannehill couldn’t throw a deep ball.

The fuel for this argument was that he couldn’t hit Mike Wallace in stride. In retrospect, this was like blaming Zach Wilson’s OL coach for his failures.

Tannehill ended up being one of the best deep ball throwers in the league. Imagine what might have happened if someone had tried to fix his pocket presence issues with something smarter than CHASING HIM AROUND IN PRACTICE WITH A MOTHER******* BROOM?

I had a friend who was a drummer. He understood cord theory better than i did. Very dis-heartening.

I worked at the Baldwin Piano & Organ Co, for just under 10 years, most of it in the Church Organ department. I learned a lot about the history of music via the history of the pipe organ and developed a taste for the "classical" music written for that instrument.

Bach's stuff was really very good, even though he had a lot of "flourishes" written in that were so difficult that only he could play them. I did not know he was the best organ player in the world at that time, even though those organs had relatively few stops compared to what we were putting on the larger two and three manual organs.

A bunch of us were young men and when we were first introduced to some of those stops with "funny" names we had a lot of "fun" with them. Examples are the 16' ***got, or the 5 2/3' Plein Ju. Simpler stops like the "Tibia" were just too gross to think about. Then there was the "Vox Humana", what an arrogant concept to begin with.

Besides, I enjoyed playing the guitar.

PM me if you want to know how I pissed off Chet Adkins when I wasn't even there. This was when we owned Gretsch, and our guitar maker had just finished making a dedicated guitar for Chet called the Country Gentleman.

See, I was special way back then in the 1970's and 1980's. - LOL

Yes.

The relevant text being:

"Stetson headed back east to Philadelphia, launching his business in a one-room workshop with $60 he borrowed from his sister.

There, he developed The Boss of the Plains, based on his Pike’s Peak creation, a lightweight and all-weather fur felt hat with a high, creased four-inch crown and a wide four-inch brim. Instantly iconic, the hat sold far and wide, equally renowned for its quality and practicality. Working with different shapes and materials, he created hats for city and country, eventually selling millions of hats per year in the half-century that followed, including many styles that we still make today."

"There" being Philadelphia.

So, almost 10 years after he developed and sold that hat in Colorado City, Co.

A "day late and a dollar short". - LOL
