    Seriously though. I can't think of anything good with this guy except QB keepers and dump offs. Once in a while he'll make a good deep pass but that's something that every QB in the league is able to do. Is there anything that's he's exceptional at that would warrant his contract? How long will it take the Dolphins to end the Tannehill era?

    Back-shoulder throws, comebacks, and curls.

    That's it though. He's not a cerebral QB and lacks natural feel for the pocket. His arm strength often masks his deficiencies.

    He doesn't even throw a true back shoulder pass.

    All he is good at after what I saw tonight, is dividing a message board.

    The problems I saw tonight aren't fixable. He will sprinkle in a couple good games per usual but he is not a QB you can win anything significant with.

    Tannehill is good at the read option and passing the ball when he has 5+ seconds to throw.

    I knew this was coming all year. I never bought into the bull**** with the audibles and the new system and coaches, I always had a sinking feeling Philbin was not the complete moron the team was making him out to be.

    Getting sacked and having no time to throw. And I still think Philbin is still a complete moron.

    The question is how do they acquire a qb? If they are 6-10 they have to give assets up to move up. They need to essentially tank the season. I never thought after 4 games we would have this discussion. I expected huge things from Tannehill. But he is overwhelmed right now and the "project" is over.

    Gase said if any guy doesnt produce regardless of where he was drafted or what he is paid he will bench him, Im calling out Gase to bench Tannehill for at least a game.

    I did not want to say it, but I agree. As I said earlier, seems he is overwhelmed. The sacks, the different offenses and the amount of adversity may have caught up. Miami does not have to be ashamed of maybe sitting him down a game. Seeing it from the sideline live could have a positive effect. Whether he is on the bench or playing, Tannenbaum should not be allowed to hold this franchise back by not evaluating players and admitting he made a mistake

    Physically he is outstanding. Athletic, Strong arm can make plays with his legs if he needs. Mentally he just doesn't have it.

    Been defending him for a long time, but these last two weeks have soured me on him.

    He's good at being robotic. He's good at not reading pressure and taking a billion sacks. Marino was more mobile in the pocket in the 90s with his legs all braced up.

    Some Tannehill fans will blame the OL certainly. But what they fail to acknowledge is that every OL in the league will have breakdowns. Great...even good QBs find a way to extend the play or at the very least get out of the pocket and throw the ball away.

    Tannehill doesn't do this. He stands in the pocket, either holds it until he is sacked or forces a bad pass for an I-N-T. He has virtually no lateral movement in the pocket. As far as I'm concerned the Tannehill era is over. I am just waiting for it to officially expire.

    And no I don't think Matt Moore is the answer. Our QB search must continue however.

    Gase hasn't called him out yet. In the press conference, he blamed everyone. The season is in the next 5 weeks, 4 home games with a bye in there. I think if we come out with only a couple wins, we have to move on

    I agree. I like Tannehill and I want to believe in his play. Unfortunately, if it isn't happening by now, it's not going to. Those that blame the O line, they aren't wrong because that has been a problem. It's more than that though. Some guys make pieces around them better and together they grow. Some guys, however, need those pieces already good to succeed. I see him more of a Alex Smith and Carson Palmer in their younger days. Holding the ball too long, reading the wrong coverage, not going through the progression totally. They struggled, but as they got older and finally found teams that had the pieces in place, they succeeded. that could happen for Tannehill, but I just don't think it'll be here.

    Hopefully, our QB of the future is getting ready to arrive soon.

    I think you draft a QB. If we can agree that Gase is going to be around for a bit, who is the guy? And do you go first round? I think Chad Kelly could be drafted in rounds 2-4.

    Gase's offense is supposed to be a base 2 TE package but our personnel is horrible for the system he wants to run. I like Tannehill but have accepted that he will never be elite and always an average QB. No shame in that as only a handful of teams have an elite QB.

    Chad Kelly is going to be a top ten pick and may very well be the top pick of the draft by the end of the season.

    We're rebuilding. I don't think Tannehill will be here after next year. He can't realistically be cut or traded this year or next with his contract. Miami can draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round.

    Tannehill is the Koa Misi of our offense. A limited player that we have been unwilling to replace since there are other, even more pressing needs.

    I don't think replacing Tannehill with a better QB last night would have given us a win. Bengals are a talented team who could have scored more points if they needed. I think if Marino had been back there, you'd have more downfield interceptions, and fewer sack/fumbles, but still we lose.

    If Gase wants to coach here more than two seasons, he gets rid of Tannehill in the offseason and drafts a QB. It's that simple.

    Look, Ryan may never be more than the average/slightly above average QB he's been, but to see he does nothing well is ignorant. You don't put up 2:1 TD:INT ratio three straight seasons by not doing anything well. It's a ridiculous line of thinking. He's simply just inconsistent.

    I'd say there is a great chance Jimmy G ends up better. Brissett may be taking it too far, who knows.

    But no one is going to give Jacoby 20 M dollars either.

    Problem is, is there even as close to sure fire as you can get QB even going to be available in the draft next year? Tannehill is clearly not the guy but who in the heck do we replace him with? Another thing is this team has so many holes in the roster that simply replacing the QB isn't going to help in the least.

    the team has to play a different QB the last 4 games of the season to see what they have. It should be Dougthy because Moore is getting up there in age.

    You think? I mean, good for him. I just don't see it yet (and I watch and go to the games). I can see him being a first rounder if he starts to click, but from what I've seen, he's a high second right now in my mind. His history will definitely be questioned. Uncle Jim may have some pull in NFL circles. It would be pretty great though, if he came to Miami. Not just for me, but I think for the team.

    No point in dumping more resources in to another QB when the OL and running game are so poor.

    That's the same **** we just did w Tannehill.

    Yeaaaa.... but Tannehill was vastly overdrafted. In hindsight, its easy to see he should of been a 3rd or 4th round pick. His combine numbers put him in the first. His tape, QB acumen, stats all said he should of been a 4th rounder. Miami's fault for drafting him (or bringing Sherman in).

    I guess the fact Jeff Ireland fell in love with Ryan should've told us everything we needed to know.

    He was a project, it was going to take good surroundings and good coaching for him to become a good NFL QB.

    It was a bad situation for him but atleast he is a multi millionare for it. Now we are 13 games from being back to square one.

    This isn't some game of "I told you so" it's a sad reality for us die hard fans, good luck 17 and safe travels.
