    Has anyone heard if Tannehill is starting tonight? If Sparano was still coaching, I know Moore would be starting tonight, but I'm hoping Philbin has the balls to start Tannehill to see what the kid has got.

    as a tangent, I was speaking to 2 diehard Jets fans yesterday, and they have no clue about Sparano. They, like the media, seem to think of him as this innovative offensive minded coach that will eventually take their offense to the next level. when in fact, their crappy TC so far from Sanchez and Tebow is being helped in part by a lack of imagination by Sparano.

    Moore is #1 on the depth chart, but Ive heard that Tannehill may get a few reps vs the #1's this week and if not, then next week for certain.

    How the hell can anyone refer to Sparano as innovative. Because he went along with another coaches idea to try out the wildcat?? Give me a break. What a joke. Funny that when he was here, and we first started it, the wildcat was laughable. Hell, Rex Ryan himself said it wasnt football. Now that big piece of **** is out on the radio saying "I'm a huge believe in single wing, and wildcat football" Yet after we beat him with he, he cried like a baby for a week.

    Funny how the media changes they way they want so spin things when a coach moves from one place to another. Sparano was a useless boob here, but now he's an innovative offensive mind. The only thing he will help that offense do is keep the ball out of the hands of Sanchez because it will be run run run. Tebow wildcat. Maybe the odd Mark throw here and there on a screen or something safe. So innovative... ohhh...

    :sidelol:

    As for tonight. I dont think there's been any word on who starts. Id like it to be Ryan though.

    Just don't even get me started on the Stinkin' Jets! LOL!

    As for tonight, I REALLY hope Ryan starts!!! He has been consistent through practice and he played well in the first game, as opposed to Moore who really didn't. I think everyone, including Philbin are surprised at how fast he's been coming along... especially for a rookie! I'd like to see Naanee and Wallace start as well.

    maybe the coaching staff is still becoming familiar with Moore, but we know what you get with the guy, a good, but not great QB. I see no downside in starting Tannehill for tonight unless the plan was to get him another week of practice and start him week 3 instead.

    If it wasn't Ryan, would it be this quiet? Seems like if it was going to be Moore it would have been said already.

    I really hope its RT starting. I think he's earned a shot. I don't know if it'll be televised here in the Tampa ish area... I wonder if I can still buy the preseason thing...

    Dick Stockton just said on 790 that it's gonna be Tannehill.

    Jose Rose said if he doesn't, Tannehill should get in real early.

    We'll find out on Episode 3 of Hard Knocks who the starter is. Just wait until Tuesday and you'll have your answer.

    Something tells me that Ryan will get the start next week as well if he does decently.Philbin may know Moore is a leader and has the respect of his teammates, but it will also be clear to the players who the more talented quarterback is. I doubt many players see Tannehill as an incapable rookie.

    Oh for ****s sake. It has nothing to do with "balls", there's a pretty legitimate mix of opinion on starting a rookie quarterback or not, especially this early. Treating it like it's some backwater Sparano thing is childish. Why do we even need to have Sparano 2-minute hates at this point?
