The guy has been in the league for more than two seasons. There is a lot more than 8 games to judge him off of.
Honestly that's irrelevant. Ryan Tannehill has only played in one offensive scheme from college till this season. If you believe in what Bruce Arians has said, you cannot judge a QB learning a new offense right off the bat. There is a learning curve. If you want...you can do this: Judge Ryan Tannehill over the course of his first two seasons: Did he improve on every major passing category from year one, to year two? Yes. Did he improve on those numbers from year two to year three? How can you say 4 games into the season? You cannot look at Ryan Tannehills performance this season this early and compare it to his last two season, because he is learning and the offense is learning a brand new offense. That is the point Bruce Arians is trying to make. If Ryan had started out this season with the same results, playing in the same system he has for the last two seasons..ok, much different story. But your removing any learning curve from the guy. Your expecting him to improve over last years numbers right off the bat this season, as if hes not trying to learn a new offense. How is that even logical? A much more realistic review of Ryan Tannehill would be to judge him by his body of work over the entire three seasons....not two and a Qtr of the way through a new offense. There are alot of pro scouts that see very good things in Ryan Tannehill. Not saying hes going to be an annual Pro Bowl player, but good enough to certainly win championships. But those scouts look at the body of work, and see what he did even when things dont look amazing.
Again, I'm judging Tannehill in his previous offense, not just his new one. His body of work in the NFL is not good. He improved from year one to year two, but year two still was not good. Certainly, we can see a drastic improvement. That is possible. Judging from history, it is very unlikely however. And I'm not expecting Ryan Tannehill to do anything. I certainly didn't expect him to improve. The reality is that drafting a QB, even in the first round, usually results in a player of the ability that we are seeing now. That is par for the course with drafting QBs.
Hey! I've got just as much of a right to pick my statistics to prove my point regardless of context or logic ss anybody else!
What if during the first two Years he was totally handcuffed by some wacko philosophy to force him to stay in the pocket and not call the proper amount of rollout, bootleg, and read option relative to his skillset.?
Well they did grow it in TX after all. I'm just haying that Tannehill hasn't been Marino yet. But he ain't been Beck either so give him a chance to play with 46 other guys who can ball and then we'll know. And if you take it and boil it in a shallow pan covered in water with a stick of margarine for 30 min or so then throw away everything but the margarine (let the water cool after you throw out the DIRT) Make your favorite baked treat w the margarine and life will be much better for a while.
Thats what Sherman did DJ..he came right out and said it. The thing is...its to early in the process to say it did or didnt work.
You'll never know if it worked, it got that specific coach fired, and we sacrificed a playoff season if he was constricted, having him go against any team last year with that OLINE and run game without gameplanning his legs into the strategy was indicting..
Look, I want it to be Tannehill. Hell, I felt bad for Henne. I pulled for him like crazy and made some of the same excuses. I don't want to be having the Henne talk with myself about Tannehill. All I really want is for once, just once, us to be not comparing stats while trying to defend Miami's young QB. I want to have a conversation like this: ****. He played great these last 8 weeks. He's really carrying the team.
I wish everyone would stop trying to show they are qb experts, that they "know" they are right. Truth is none of us know Ryan end result, cant know if all ills are or aren't Related to Ryan or a combo of factors. And we have no say in it, so why not watch and hope we are starting a roll
