Look everyone, I had an epiphany tonight.

I finally figured out why our team can never play complimentary ball.

It's because the heart and soul of what is the Miami Dolphins, the loyal FH faithful, are not acting as one.

We all must get behind Tannehill with full support in order for the team to succeed!

Now, I really am just kidding. This is not one of those! This is not a Pro / Con Tanny Thread!

This is the Tanny unity thread.

And in said unity thread, it is about time we all just agreed on one aspect of RTs game.

This dude is tough. Right everyone? Right?

He is like a beat dog that won't quit. I mean, little bitch ass Jimmy G gets rocked game two, RT gets his **** pushed in only five times a game, still smoking seem routes.

No matter your take on Tanny......

FH, I challenge you, cant we all just agree on something RT related?

I put my trust in all of you...

The faithful, the loyal, the FH members.

RT has QB'd against two of the toughest teams in the NFL and is in the top ten in performers anyway you want to slice it.

He's consistently the best 1 or 2 players rated on the Miami Dolphins.

And he's TOUGH -- the toughest QB in the NFL in terms of free hits on him, yet still playing.

Anyone with a football IQ above room temp on this site is in general agreement on RT17. He's not the problem w. the team. If the rest of the skill positions rated as highly as RT, the team would be 1 in the division and a perennial SB contender.

We are then in agreement.

The way he stares down the Barrell and will still deliver an accurate ball, leaving him completely exposed. It's a shame our o-line has been unable to stabilize.

Feeling better in Pass Pro about the new group though.

He's fearless in the way he takes full contact. The fact that he's not been completely screwed over as a QB after 4 years of Philbin torture and football idiocy is a remarkable testament to RT's inner fortitude as well as physical toughness. No wonder the team (outside of Miko and his wife Brent last year) respects him so much.

Tannehill suffers from Nice Guy Syndrome. People will always minimize what he does because he lacks swagger.

He is tough as nails, but he doesn't spit nails, doesn't curse out his teammates or smack talk the opposition, doesn't shove the other team when he gets up, and doesn't talk to the press like he is going to kick someone's azz. So, some fans and many non-fans see him as not tough, despite the empirical evidence of him standing tough in the pocket, taking hits, blocking and tackling in those few opportunities, and him jacking up a defender just the other week.

There are two things that make a QB an NFL caliber player. It is what separates the collegiate stars from the NFL players. Those two things are 1) consistent accuracy, and 2) ability to read a defense.

Tannehill has both of those traits. Sure, his long balls are not his strength, but they are improving. His short and wide throws are very good. He rarely makes the same mistake twice. He learns from his mistakes and is becoming a good defense reader. The next step will come in his audiblizing, but that is a work in progress at the moment.

Does he walk with a swagger? No. Does he talk like a rebel or a badazz? No. Does he physically dominate his teammates or the opposition by shoving physically or lashing verbally? No. Does he call out his teammates in public? No. The only way the fans will get behind a guy like this is when the team consistently wins ... and we're not there yet.

But, Tannehill is a very good young QB. He does what the coaches want, says what the coaches want, and his teammates follow him. But, he's no Joe Namath, Snake Stabler or Dan Marino to the fan. So, I've accepted the fact that he is destined to be under appreciated until we get a coach that forms a dynasty.

Personally, I think Tannehill is a good QB. He is better than every QB we've had since Dan Marino retired. But that's the thing ... some of us still remember Dan Marino ... and well ... that was so great, we really do miss it.

Never thought of RT suffering (in how others perceive him) bc he's a great guy. True though.

Eli Manning doesn't spit nails or curse out his teammates or smack talk the opposition, doesn't shove the other team when he gets up, and doesn't talk to the press like he is going to kick someone's azz either (Mr. Awe Shucks) yet he is a two-time Super Bowl champion. I love RT to death but it's time to get the job done plain and simple. NO EXCUSES, including regime changes, personnel changes, lack of a running game, yadda yadda yadda. History will not be kind to those who don't take their teams far into the postseason. Four years grace period is enough let's make it happen NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Go Ryan Go!
 
Digital - your nice guy assessment is spot on. 3 years ago I was lucky enough to watch the SB between Denver and Seattle w Tannehill and Tony Gonzalez. I posted a thread on it here of course. I got to spend what felt like a lot of time w him just BSinf about football. He was so damn nice - gracious with his time and really did not have an "I'm special" air about him like Tony did. Tony was cool but clearly was not as into the thing (corporate event) as Ryan was. He wanted to engage and talk about the Dolphins, the SB game going on - it was not a drag to him. He was enjoying himself and I thought "wow, what a good kid - someone you want as the face of your franchise". For those that question his competitiveness (since people often mistake being nice as the person is not a blood thirsty competitor) - I got around to busting his chops about that scene in hard knocks where he had IKEA furniture fail and he got all defensive, blaming the furniture that something was too long or short - that's when I realized he's as competitive as you'd expect an NFL player to be - it just showed up in a comical way. He is super tough and has taken so many hits yet he just gets up and keeps slinging. That run at the end of the Pats game where he steamrolled a defender was awesome. It's nice to see him getting time to throw. He wasn't sacked in the NE game - let's hope the trend continues.
 
..and he never complains nor throws his teammates - particularly the OLs, under the bus.

We're now learning from JO indirectly, that Philbin was inflexible and generally an asshole. Yet we never heard that from him. Maybe we should have :idk:

:lol: at the bit about the IKEA furniture.
 
Tanny is THE toughest QB in the NFL. He was definitely baptized by fire and nothing comes easy behind that line. Now he does have some things going for him. He is the quarterback of The Miami Dolphins...he has a beautiful wife and a newborn son. And now he has a Coach. Have to say his arrow is pointing up!
 
I agree. Tannehill is so tough he drinks his own bloody urine for breakfast. Some QBS will pull a ***** move and try to escape pressure by moving out of the pocket before it collapses to make a play, but not our QB. He'll hang on to that ball, plant his feet and take the sack just to show how damn tough he is.
 
I like this, kind of a "mass consciousness" experiment. I'm in!
