    Check out Omar Kelly on John Renshaw's show. it is pretty good. Renshaw is a Dolphin Super Homer, BTW.

    How many times did Omar say that he hasn't seen Tannehill KILL yet?

    Although I must say that I do agree with Omar that asking Tannehill to match Andy Dalton's numbers is neither unreasonable nor should it be all that difficult and that if he doesn't then we may have a problem.

    Some precious quotes from our beloved Omar K.

    "I don't talk quarterback because it's not worth my time" - Sure fooled me.

    "Dolphins fans are not educated enough to evaluate quarterbacks" - Good thing we have good ol' Omar to educate us.

    Talking about the most important position on the football team for which he's a beat writer isn't worth his time? WTF?

    "Not educated enough" is a really nice way of calling his readers dumb.

    Unfortunately not privy of practices, basing a debate on what an unqualified beat reporter says about improvement on a player is impossible, he may not know how to simulate practice to game situation.

    Ahh.. An F6F-5. That pic alone makes the almost half of the conversation I listened to with OK and whoeverthehell that was on the radio. I am glad I don't have to put up with THAT up here!

    That is a great pic of a great plane! Ain't pretty, but rugged as a cast iron wash tub and absolutely lethal when it met the A6M-2 through 5. Most folks don't know it had a bigger wing area then a P-47. Go Grumman Iron Works!

    Omar lost me a few years back when he thought that someone playing a 3-technique meant that 1 player was responsible for playing 3 gaps.

    "Zoned In"? C'mon.

    Seems to be a tad of an ego maniac. What led him to believe he "is educated" enough to evaluate QBs? What are his credentials?

    Probably zero.

    This guy gets more threads than a cheap suit. Really really discussed ad nauseam. I mean yesterday he goes on twitter with his full disclosure of Tannehill (after Ryan has one BAD practice) and then he hits the air waves within an hour of that. It's as if the whole thing was pre-meditated. Naaa... can't be. Sure, he's never been a fan of Tannehill's and has been consistent with that, but after RT's worst practice of the summer, you'd think he'd wait for repeat performances (back to back bad practices) before shooting his load.

    I've heard he made his acct private now.

    I'm not sold on Tannehill, think it is to soon to say, but never would I take his opinion seriously.

    OMark is pretty much a self deluded tool of a reporter who knows very little about the game of football and who surprisingly has little inside sources within the roster after years of covering the team.

    INOW, he'd not last a month in a media market that took it's NFL team more seriously.

    I am not a fan of Omar and his attitude but as I stated earlier, I do agree with his basic point that if Tannehill doesn't reach Andy Dalton levels at a minimum this year that we need to really consider what we're doing moving forward.

    Now, I think (hope) that Tannehill will pass those levels this year and prove to be a franchise QB, but stating that we haven't seen it yet, and that there should be a minimum bar of performance for a franchise QB to clear is completely reasonable IMO

    :lol:

    Who is "not educated enough" to evaluate football as he states?
    Idiot.
    It's 100 times worse for him to be uneducated on any aspect of the game as he is getting paid to be a sports reporter.
    If he's doing his job and being a professional within his craft things like that SHOULD be unacceptable.
    The average fan does not have that responsibility.
    Again.... Idiot.

    I think Tannehill will get a chance to start his third season as the franchise quarterback no matter what he does this season. Think of Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder as two current examples. This offseason didn't bring their replacements. Even though in Jacksonville, a new HC and GM combination were brought in. I'm not saying that we "follow" their lead. I'm saying what they are experiencing, with two struggling first round picks entering their third season, appears to be the norm.

    His craft is generating threads like this. And he is phenomenal at it.
     
  32. If Omar don't like him he will probably end his career in the HOF.

    No argument that "journalism" has turned into a circus of the absurd which is needed to attract the oblivious masses today.
    That said, I'm not sure that he's "a master" at generating articles or tweets to mobilize these people OR if he's just one of the oblivious masses that happens to be paid for being oblivious and relating well to his own.

    Regardless of which one it is, his assessment of what a 3 technique was is still great entertainment and unacceptable for anyone "professionally reporting" on the game of football. Hence the term.... Idiot.

    He's a smart guy. He knows exactly what he's doing. Its not his fault either, its what the market dictates. Barry Jackson is the guy with all the inside sources. Omar Kelly has 3X as many twitter followers.

    Probably, but the questions will be escalating, particularly since we might have a new GM at that time.

    Hopefully Tanny turns in a great season and we don't have to worry about this.

    The only phins writer I bother with is Barry Jackson, especially with Volin now in Patsies land.

    I rarely click on a link to anything related to OmarK, or Salguero for that matter, they are just to incompetent for me to bother with, and report no real information, so why bother?

    I hate his kill comments because he gives Brady credit all the time for leading his team to a FG. I believe Ryan did that at least two times to win the game but our kicker missed them. WOuld those not count as kills or does he have to kick the ball as well. Seriously, the reason he doesn't want to talk about Qbs is he has no clue about them. Garrard was amazing, Moore is better than Tannehill. Moore would have lead us to more victories last year, sure he may have but Tannehill getting a year of experience will lead us to more over the long haul. He loves to stir it up. I had to unfollow him because of his know it all attitude though he has never coached or played the game in anyway and uses our guys on this site, CK, to do his work for him all the time.
