Who Starts At Qb Against Lions

[finsgonewild]

Who would you like to start against the Lions next week?

If Tannehill is actually healthy, you have to go with him. Osweiler had a lot of success today, but keep in mind that the Bears did very little to prepare for him. If you give a team a full week to prepare for Osweiler, things could get ugly. I still think a healthy Tannehill is still better than Osweiler. Then again, that is not saying much. Neither choice is great. I am just not ready yet to jump on the Osweiler bandwagon. If Tannehill played behind this oline today, it would have been interesting how he would of played. A lot of QB's would have played well today considering the o-line played out of its mind. Granted, if Tannehill does play next week, there needs to be a short lease. If he starts to struggle, Gase should not hesitate for a second to bench him.

I think BO is alright when he is a surprise start, not so good when teams have time to prepare.

of course RT starts, but theres a leash now, or atleast there should be. if the offense sputters, its time to look elsewhere. 7 years is more than enough time to accept mistakes.

If your starter can go then you go with your starter. I don't understand the question by the OP here.

LOL @ David Fales option. Tonya Harding in the building this week perhaps?

Tannehill. Short (but reasonable) leash.

BO

Tanny has shown that he cannot get it done. He has looked mediocre this season. Brock looked better today and he doesn’t get the first team reps that Tanny gets. The Bears have the best defense that we have faced this season and Brock looked better than Tanny has in the previous 5 games.

Tannehill no question. No leash either. Y’all are crazy to think the Dolphins organization thinks otherwise. Plain and simple- the Fins win way more than they lose with the Gase/Tannehill combo.

Good on Brock Lobster for manning up today and getting the W

I dont think Ryan Tannehill plays this game without having extended Khalil Mack's strip sack record and multiple sacks.

At this point I have more confidence in Osweiler's game management skills than I do Ryan Tannehill's.

Bledsoe was the starter until he got hurt and Brady came in relief. So by your logic, Bledsoe should have been handed back the position because he was the "starter".

if he's healthy, Ryan...Ryan has been atrocious the past 2 games he started, but if he really was battling a shoulder injury the performances make more sense in context.

 

[Ray R]

If another week of rest will allow a substantial improvement in Tannehill's shoulder, we should go with Brock. If another week of rest will not add much for Tannehill's improvement, then he should start.

I voted for Brock to start because I suspect TH's shoulder has been giving him a problem during his previous 2 games and want to give it all the time we reasonably can before we start him again. I'm not comfortable enough with Brock yet to want to see him play more than two games in a row. I think todays performance has cemented the backup QB position for Brock. He is now in a much better position to continue in the NFL then he was before we brought him in.

Considering how things were going before todays game, we ought to be much more enthusiastic about the Dolphins future then some of the posters here seem to be.

You pick Tom Brady as your example? Beldsoe almost died from a blood vessel that popped as a result of a hit and was out for an extended time. Terrible comparison.

He's right, Tannhill is your starting QB and you go with him until Gase feels there it is time for a change.

Belichick (the genius) had no idea what he had in Brady until Bledsoe got injured.

Brady turned out to be a hall of famer.

Osweiler came in and does what a good back up is supposed to do, win while the starter recovers.

Tannehill is light years better than Osweiler when he's healthy, and everyone with a semblance of football knowledge is aware of it.

Those of you on here calling for the far-inferior QB should just watch the games in your undies and refrain from commenting.

I would say Osweiler starts to give RT time to heal. Once healthy, I would say RT starts again. I think Osweiler is the next Ryan Fitzpatrick of the season.
