This, IMO, is also B.S. Tannehill practices with these guys all week. He should know their speed by now. People want to put blame on Hartline and Bess for not being fast enough but to me that is just an excuse for the QB. Tannehill looks like he's going to be a pretty solid QB but he needs to hit open receivers down the field.
But they aren't "open" he's not missing bess or hartline when they're wide open. He's missing cause he's keeping the ball away from the trailing by 1 ft defender. You can argue that he's afraid of getting picked and thus also keeping bess and hartline from making the play too, but it always seems these two just can't get there. The throw to Moore, a faster receiver, was perfect.
Andrew Luck is a once in a generation talent. Comparing Tannehill to him is ridiculous. Everyone knew Luck was ready to roll walking off the bus and everyone knew Tannehill was a developmental quarterback. Robert Griffin is a different talent. He is running a very simple offense. He also has a very good running game, an underrated offensive line and some weapons. Russell Wilson is a comparable but he also has MUCH better weapons and a better offensive line. Comparing what Ryan Tannehill is doing to other players is completely the wrong way of evaluating him as a player. We need to look at him in a bubble. What is he doing to get better in comparison to what he was last week/last month/last year. The only player we can compare Ryan Tannehill to as he develops is Ryan Tannehill.
Why is Jay ****ing Fiedler being brought up in any discussion? He did not have "success". He fell *** backwards into a situation where his coach was a short sighted franchise wrecking **** for brains, had a good running game and a top 5 defense. I am not sure I'd need more than the fingers on one hand to count the number of games Jay ****ing Fiedler won for us. He held that team back, he did not push it forward. Ryan Tannehill has already won games for this team this year (and should have 2 more wins to his credit, that he led game winning drives on, if we had a reliable ****ing kicker). I knew when we drafted Tannehill that people would be impatient but I thought they would wait a year. Congrats, some of you have given the kid 13 starts before you declare him a bust. 13 starts behind a mediocre (at best) offensive line, NO ****ING PLAYMAKERS, an evaporating running game and, at times, VERY questionable playcalling from Mike Sherman. Well done people, well done.
