get the salt and tequila...

I say that to ask if there are any other QB's who have played and succeeded behind o-line that were comparable to our old turnstiles.

I take my favorite example, Russell Wilson...and wonder if Seahaawks fans are as quick to say, "I wonder how good our franchise QB would have been had he had a good o-line," as our fans/supporters say that about Tannehill.

I dont feel like doing the research now because I'm on my phone, but I'm sure I'll find a few franchises/franchise QBs who have successes in spite of bad o-line play.

Never. No QB consistently succeeds with bad O-line play.

Some greats can get you by with below average lines, but those lines have to run block decently. And those QBs aren't likely to last long.

Stopped at that since 2018 is up in the air mid way through and didn’t include 2017 due to no QB-line comparison...
 
Hey Cleo Lemon almost singlehadedly delivered our franchise Jake Long. For this we will forever be thankful.

Doh!
 
The bad thing is, our Olin is delicate, but one of Tannehills strengths is to run. We don't use that skill nearly as much as we should.
There was a game this year where he ran alot, to inude for 1 St downs, and we won.
It's like he's told to stay in the pocket.
