the fate of Tannehill

In Tanny we trust! Keep growing and getting better. Please prove us all wrong.

again no one answers the question. AGAIN. I suggested a GM should go on two verticals. There is just as much a shot as him being a bust than being a star. So if you are a GM, you must prepare for that. It's not like Tannehill is the real deal after an amazing season

It has been answered. You just don't like the answer.

Tannehill is the starter. With Devlin being the 3 the past few years, I can see MIA parting ways with Moore. It really all depends on how the owner and the new GM feel about Tannehill.
I believe Ross will hire a GM that comes in and is of like mind on Tannehill.

If I were GM, I give Tannehill 2014 and bring back Moore. If Tannehill does not progress next year, you draft a prospect and make them fight it out. Miami just isn't at the point to justify pulling the plug on Tannehill. And if they did, some team will see enough there to allow him to compete. He has shown enough in this league to make fools of MIAMI and their fanbase, if Tannehill were to be short changed.

And I wasn't a fan of his picking @8. To high was my opinion at the time. I've seen enough to give him 2014 to make me a complete believer. Some here want him to be something more, while I expect steady growth. He put up numbers comparable to Matt Ryan this year, and led his team to a better over all showing. Despite having inferior weapons to throw too.
 
I cant believe anyone on these boards wants RT or PhiB to fail most members are merely stating facts or opinions..... [ QUOTE=xXwarXx;1064973977]Its weird watching dolphins fans on message boards.

The way some of you guys talk its like you want tannehill and philbin to fail, and enjoy starting over year after year.

Sorry I can't imagine starting over from the begining again, I'm putting my faith in them, heck its only been 2 years.[/QUOTE]
 
It's not like a new GM has unlimited draft choices and salary cap. With our O-line, linebackers, RB's, and even our corners after Grimes are in there isn't justification to spend our resources on a QB above the 4th round, if that.

"Two verticals" would only make sense if we were together in most of the other areas of the team AND you really believed that RT wasn't going to progress. I'm also willing to bet that RT will have a better pro career than Johnny Manziel or any other QB coming out this year.
 
You guys are really reaching for the Philip Rivers comparisons. Rivers wasn't running gassers with the wide receivers at North Carolina State. He was a 4 year starter who improved every season. I remember very well because I won plenty of bets on him, including twice against stiff Mike Leach at Texas Tech. The 2003 game with North Carolina State hosting Texas Tech was one of the greatest first half Fury of Anti Revenge bets of all time. I anticipated that wager for 10 months and never had to sweat at all. It was a first half avalanche. The great Mike Leach didn't sniff one point.

Rivers averaged 8.0 YPA as a junior and 9.3 as a senior. Tannehill has never threatened either of those levels. It would be perfectly proper to excuse Tannehill's first two seasons as growing pains if he had ever been great in the past. He has not, not even close. Sorry, but that means the adjustments have less weight and lower opportunity to pan out.

I do hope we run the ball 28+ times next season, to given Tannehill the highest opportunity to succeed. But I would definitely draft a quarterback in the 3rd to 5th round this year. I suggested Brett Smith of Wyoming in the Draft Forum a few hours ago. Tannehill can't be allowed to stagnate with all the attached excuses and nobody pushing him from the bench.
 
Rivers is the only QB in the history of the NFL to have never won a Super Bowl with multiple seasons of 100+ passer rating. Russell Wilson would be the second if he doesn't get it done but don't see anybody beating the Seahawks though.

...I am going to ask again, what if that fails?
That puts a GM one year behind.

You can't wait and see. That means you don't have confidence.

It means you don't have confidence if you draft a qb to replace the one who yore currently devoting a ton of time to develop. Like on really starting to question your football iq. So do you suggest drafting a qb in the 1st or what? With all of our other needs? What a joke

Change your screen name if you're so determined to see Tannehill fail, because that's clearly been your agenda lately
 
You know as well as I do that you start changing the front office/coaching staff and they're going to get their own guy in there. Whether you like Tannehill or not, he's done here. Sure, he starts next season but who knows for how long. We all got what we wished for when we cleaned house. Time to find another QB.
 
The danger with Tannehill, of course, and it's extreme, is that he improves moderately under a new coordinator and a few new toys, and we get excited and foolishly extend him for big bucks. Then it won't be his fault when he naturally returns to his normal and long established level. And we're stuck.
 
He leaped from 12 TD's to 24 with no running game and a crap Oline for passpro. wtf.

This is certainly a worry. I call it QB purgatory and why I think the most impressive move of the century was the Broncos trading Jay Cutler, it takes big balls to be able to escape QB purgatory.
 
nothing is wrong with Tannehill, you guys are trying to get rid of him because?..... the team wasn't good enough to make the playoffs, so who's the next man up? Mike Vick? A GM would be crazy to try and replace Tannehill , you can bet your A_ _ that this is all being addressed before they hire someone.
