Zac Taylor - Garbage In/Garbage Out?
Looking over this kid's resume, it seems that although fairly successful over a year or two playing the position at Nebraska, he's never coached an NFL-level QB. This is his first gig. Makes one wonder when looking at Tannehill's lack of development, if from a coaching standpoint it's "garbage in/garbage out." What's worse is that he's Mike Sherman's son in law, so there's nepotism at play here.. and it's just as likely that Ryan would be benched before Taylor is gone so long as daddy in law dearest is our OC.
Tannehill is raw still and in his formative years of development where coaching, good or bad has a long lingering effect. He's too smart, athletic and talented to not be making strides unless he's being instructed by someone who's main claim to fame was being an assistant Aggie coach under his wife's father and going 9-3 one year for Nebraska.
I don't know if anyone's made this observation previously, but IMO putting Taylor in his first big time QB coaching job with a Brees or Manning might work, but what credentials does he really possess to train an inexperienced QB, no matter how promising, from the ground up??
While he may not be the root of all problems, for starters IMO he needs to go and be replaced either by someone who has successfully developed pro QBs from scratch or at least played the game at the pro level, cerebrally, like a Pennington.
