I don't understand why we would even consider passing on a player that has this much potential to transcend the team. Am I reading right that he has 5,200 yards and 45 TDs this year ? LOL
Teams in Houston, LA, SF and Philly all have an enthusiasm towards their team. Yes two are coming off injuries, but their small sample size was more transcending than anything Miami has seen since the mid 1990's. In the NFL, Jackson will run less and have less rushing TDs. However, the ability to keep the chains moving is what makes this kid so appetizing.
I love the way Jackson played in his last 4 games. IMHO, Miami has been a mediocre team, playing with mediocre quarterbacks. Fans will not only lose their minds waiting for him to be transcending, it will never happen. There are too many needs for Tannehill to succeed. The SF 49ers were in the same position, however, now are re-buiding their team differently and easier because Garropolo is their qb.
Worst case scenario, why are we afraid of real qb competition? Have we really spent 1st round picks well in recent years? There are 1,000 Tannehill debates. Well, if the qb was playing well, there would be no debates. Miami cannot afford to have a mediocre qb, when the Jets, Bills and Pats will all have upgraded the same qb.
There you go again.
You've decided that RT isn't the answer based on bunch of team stats. Ok, that's ok. Everyone gets a vote here at Finheaven. But you have also decided that a player that hasn't played a single down in the NFL is a guaranteed HOF, elite QB (because there are so many truly elite QB that they just rain down each year in the draft). I guess I'm just wondering why you think he's such a lock on being great given all the years of players getting drafted with 'sure fire' type labels flaming out?
