Fun thread. Would read again.
Dolphins simply don’t have the offensive talent
In order to challenge the Chicago Bears’ defense, opposing offenses need a game-changing player who’s capable of flipping the field in a single touch. That player doesn’t appear to be on the Miami Dolphins’ roster.
Albert Wilson? Kenyan Drake? Nope. Kenny Stills? Maybe, but highly unlikely.
Just for the record, Tannehill has beat the Pats and the Steelers with their Starting QB in there...Just in case it was forgotten, and and we won with a backup that can throw an INT at any moment, so great article but that guy.
I tweeted this part to Albert Wilson.This part seems especially stupid in hindsight....

And guess who responded?
He beat them years ago... This year he cant go a game without getting a sack, throwing unneeded pick sixea or generally making a careless error.
The Titans suck and we barely beat them, and it wasnt because our QB play. Alnoat all touchdowns this year have come feom long play and yards aftdr the catch by the WRs, not because of outsanding QB play.
Ryan Tannehill has regressed.
Tannehill has one huge problem, and throwing pick 6s is not even a small issue with him. Tannehill does tend to fumble more then he should, but INTs is that big a problem.
Of the 5 games he has played Ryan Tannehill has had a good game , two great games, one bad game and one horrible game so far this season, pretty amazing after coming back from surgery, his two worst games came after losing his best linemen, no running game, and possibly playing hurt.
Tannehill so far this season has thrown for 972 yards, 8 TDs 5 ints, and a 92.9 Rating (120+ rating before Pat's game), against Bengals he had done enough to have them at a 17-3 lead, if after that or during he was playing injured, that is tough, but can't blame him too much if his line is allowing him to get massacred and his defense decided to stop actually holding the Bengals.
Of the 3 Tannehill wins, They beat a Titan team that was un the playoffs last year, Nd in 1st place this year, a division game against a Jets team team that is hot, and a Raiders team that was desperate.
Could Tannehill played better, sure, but in 4 of the 5 games, he has done enough to help his team win, if the other players did their part.
We've played 3 teams that are in 1st place right now. Raiders are only team we've played with a losing record.Worth noting that:
- Bears havent faced a team with a winning record yet
- Their opponents overall record is 7-11-1
- Bears only road win came against the 1-4 Cardinals
- measured by SRS, their strength of schedule is 2.5 points below average, Fins SoS is 2 points above average for comparison sake...
Ryan Tannehill has not played well this season. He has played mediocre at best, like the rest of his career.
Maybe you are fine with mediocre play from the team and QB, which is fine as your preference, but it is not realistically good.
Could we win a Superbowl with Ryan Tannehill? I dont see it.
Our defense is winning us games, if it wasnt for them playing lights out, we would be 0 and 6.
Here is the real question? Do you think Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, and the rest of the rookies could have done better? I think it is quite arguable that they could have and those are rookies. Now imagine the rest of the qbs in this league.
Can you name me some quarterbacks that Ryan Tannehill is hands down a better qb than?
