The Miami Dolphins' Problems with Sacks: Is the Culprit Ryan Tannehill?

Little quips like that do little to further the conversation, because they don't include enough elaboration to support any sort of position on anything. What, are we just supposed to take your word for it because you're you, whoever you are? :)

It's wrong because the data you're using is incomplete. As such, we're not going to take YOUR word for it. Whoever you are.
 
this is the worst thread I have ever come across in the history of all my years on finheaven.

I've seen a lot of threads. I've seen a lot of 1 star threads from this same O.P.

this is a trainwreck.

what a waste of bandwidth and money.

Well I appreciate your bumping it up to the top of the list of threads, because I believe the discussion's been quite good, and perhaps its visibility at the top of the list will attract members who can make a contribution much better than yours. :up:

When I give thumbs up to Dlockz, Shouwrong has to know something is terribly wrong this thread, but I doubt he will figure it out.
Apparently not yet! :lol: ;)

Not a problem. Like I said, it's my opinion only. I don't expect anybody to consider me some kind of authority on anything. :)

Then please, for the love of God, stop using the flawed data to imply that your conclusions are fact-based rather than opinion-based.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that Tannehill is blameless in this sacks department. However, suggesting that the Dolphins would have allowed far fewer sacks with any other QB is simply asinine.
 
I noticed that, and unfortunately I can't answer the question. When you default the PFF data to "75%" (which supposedly means QBs who have taken 75% of their team's snaps, and which I thought would eliminate backup QBs completely), it removes the QBs you mentioned. I guess that's some kind of glitch on their part, I don't know.

Then remove the restriction of 75% and recalculate. Your numbers are now not only incomplete with respect to the type of data they capture, they are incomplete, for these stats and therefore inaccurate. I can't believe how much time has been wasted on bunk.

I suggest you re-read the original post and look for where the word "opinion" is written. :up:

Done. I had to use a word search to find the word "opinion" wedged in there, under the chart. And your "opinion" was based on which statistics were relevant to the conversation.

Basically, you hand-picked the criteria upon which the entire conversation would be based. That is a fundamentally flawed way to try to present a statistically-based debate.

I'm just asking you to stop pretending your opinion is based upon anything but skewed statistics, inaccurate data, and a preconception against Ryan Tannehill.

If you don't like the guy, just come out and say it. You're ALLOWED to. It just bugs some of us that you're knowingly presenting a flawed case, and pretending there's no bias behind it.

Well I'm happy to read whatever it is you'd like to present that you believe is less flawed. Where is it? :unsure:

So you're reading my mind now? Is that it?

I didn't start a thread stating "Ryan Tannehill is not at all to blame for any of this year's sacks", now did I? I don't have to prove a different theory just to disprove yours.

So you're reading my mind now? Is that it?

No, but your negative posting history on the topic of Tannehill is certainly more than coincidental. After a certain point, a collection of circumstances becomes evidence.

If you have an opinion about the data collected or the opinions based on it, that's fine.

Plenty of people have served very long and arduous prison terms for circumstantial evidence that led to an incorrect verdict. :)

Do you think Ryan Tannehill is a good quarterback?

I think he's playing about average overall right now, which, if sustained for the rest of the season, will be a smashing success for him in his second year as a starter, given his lack of experience. :up:
 
Once again I'll ask, did Tannehill take an inordinate amount of sacks last year behind a decent OL and his senior year in college?

What are the variables in those two years, New team, New offensive line. Tannehill, however, is relatively the same. If he hasn't taken bad sacks those two years then I'd say it's unreasonable to assume that he's going to suddenly start taking bad sacks this year.

Update on this from the Buffalo game here, from PFF:

Tannehill was pressured on a greater percentage of his dropbacks in the Buffalo game than he had been previously on the season.

He was sacked on a fewer percentage of his pressured dropbacks than he had been previously on the season.

However, he was sacked twice in the Buffalo game before 2.5 seconds after the snap, which were his first two sacks of the year of that sort. All of his previous 24 sacks had come after the 2.5 second mark.
 
Excellent piece. Thank you.

He needs to learn to move in the pocket. Or alternatively, we need an above average line play. We knew that, and that is what data supprots.
