This is brought up every 5 - 10 years. It is very cyclic. A few of the young QBs will develop and the league will go on.
this would have been tannehill's breakout season
- Thread starter CorduroyG
- Start date
Just more shouright data distortional gobbledegook!
Matt Ryan, who until this season, never met the second half of a win or go home game where he didn't melt, between 2013-15, won 4 less games than Tannehill despite better OLs, the TE GOAT and at times among the best receivers on the planet. Between '13 and '14, again despite all MRyan's assets, he won a combined 6 less games than Tannehill. (Tannehill's 2nd and 3rd year). In 2014 and '15, they won the same number of games despite it being the 7th and 8th year of experience for Matt vs the 3rd and 4th year for Tannehill.
If it took 9 years for Matt Ryan to reach his potential, there's absolutely no empirical argument that after 5 years experience, Tannehill's potential has flatlined. (Oh, that's unless you also want to throw Melty out with the bathwater too LOL)
All the shouwrongfulness might be nicely shoveled, but still it's BS.

There wasn't anything to clear up. Passer rating differential by definition includes the defense against the opposing team's quarterback, thereby implicating the importance of defense.
Insane that someone actually believes that the success of the coaching staff and 56 players that play on 3 different units all hinge on a single position.
Oh yeah, b/c analytics. :roflmao

Given the low likelihood of improving on Tannehill, that should definitely be the plan.
I have nothing against Tannehill (the thread is about him having a breakout season) but I have to say that's about all this thread needs to have, Those words there..
What about those can point to that happening in his 3rd season?

Along those lines, when there are recurrent threads that drone on and on about how good a player is, it's probably an indication he's about average.
But certainly not the thread of the site.

There's noise about Luck wanting out of Indy.
Miami should go get him. I'd give up a lot for him. Multiple picks. Easy.

It's not as much that those quarterbacks are bad as it is that the league is so dependent on good quarterback play for an offense to look good, that the comparatively poorer QBs make the whole offense look bad.
This is what happens when you change the rules to heavily favor the passing game. The game begins to revolve around the guy passing the ball, and one who does a poorer job of it makes the offense look like garbage.
