In typical fashion, our fan base continues to be bi polar. In this case we seem to be split down the middle between loving or hating the Tannehill pick with little middle ground.
Personally, I was in the draft Floyd and then trade back up to get Weeden camp, so it's true I could be happier. But the bottom line is that I'm a helluva lot more content because we didn't buy a pig in a poke. Our OC whose GB squad broke the then existing franchise passing records and who knows his way around elite QBs, (Princess Favre) actually coached this kid so really, could there be a better point of reference??? Yeah, he may not have been my pick but to arbitrarily compare him to failures based on someone's impressions formed largely in front of their HDTVs on their lazyboys strongly infers that these remote GMs know more from afar than does Mike Sherman in general or in particular as relating to Tanny. And taking a step back, anyone who can substitute their emotionalism for objectivity knows this is far from the reality!
More than that, our token courtesy offer to Flynn for face-saving purposes strongly suggests that Sherman liked Tannehill a helluva lot more than Philbin did Flynn. I happen to agree with this and believe Flynn adds nothing that we don't already have in Moore. HOWEVER, if Philbin wanted Flynn, I said all along I'd be perfectly fine with that, as I am with Tannehill although Weeden was and still is my personal choice. So if we expect our coaches to do their jobs, how can we find fault with their obvious strong conviction in Tannehill's upside?
So take a deep breath before suggesting some negative analogies to Tannehill and realize that while your opinions may or may not turn out to come true, few on here know half of what Sherman does about successful QBs going in, even before the up front and personal interaction. It just is what it is :idk:
