    Fans are so desperate for a QB they can believe in that they'll accept anyone better Ray Lucas & Jay Fiedler. Anyone watching the game without emotions can see what Tannehill is. We're nearly four full years in. He's a mediocre QB.

    Drew Brees wasn't the answer in San Diego until he was in New Orleans..

    I love Lynch and think he would be a big upgrade over Tannehill. So assuming the Dolphins won't get the first pick in the 2016 draft, I would have no problem trading Tannehill for a first round draft pick and then trading this pick along with the Dolphins other first round pick to move up and draft Lynch.

    Unfortunately I think the Dolphins would be lucky if they could get a third round pick for Tannehill. I don't think he is viewed as a long term starter by the other organizations around the league and a starting QB who has a sub 500 record after 4 years in the NFL isn't going to be worth a first round to other teams. Especially one which is signed for so much money in 2016 and beyond.

    I'd be willing to trade him and his bad contract for a 2nd rounder. a 1st for Tannehill, I would be floored if any team was that stupid. But I hope they are.

    Tannehill had his chance. I'm ready to hit the reset button yet again on the QB position.

    His first few years there were bad, but he turned it around then got hurt and they went with Rivers.

    I'd like to see a list of fans who still support Tannehill so they can eat their crow. The Henne fans got away with it. Not acceptable. I may comprise that list of names in my free time. Anybody wanna make my job easier an volunteer.

    Calling out the Tannehill fan club.

    When he's eventually traded or cut I will post the list, then again for every game he starts for another team where he blows.

    I proudly support RT and think that he's a good QB. I'm not sure why I'd be ashamed of that. I want to see him as our quarterback for years to come.

    So, you're feeling proud/happy that the team and the QB is struggling because a group of fans had/have hope in a QB? I believe in Tannehill and still think he can be an above average to good QB but we will see how things shape up.

    If he doesn't become what he can become here, I will be fine with that and will be rooting for the next QB here.

    It's a better question than some of you think. People would have scoffed last year if anyone asked if anyone would trade a first round pick for Andy Dalton. After this season? Maybe not so much.

    Fans make the mistake all the time to think a player's current level of play will continue indefinitely. Tannehill is now in his 4th year with no playoffs, so the criticism is absolutely justified. But he's not as bad as some of you make him out to be, and he's already proved in prior years he can play better than he's playing now. Let's see how the season plays out and then we will all be in a better place to discuss Tannehill.

    With Dalton it's always been about the playoffs, where he has been abysmal;

    Reg sea- comp % 62.2, TD/INT- 122-72, 4.9 TD%, 2.9 INT%, YPA-7.2, QB rating- 88.1
    Post sea- comp % 55.7, TD/INT----- 1-6, 0.6 TD%, 3.8 INT%, YPA-5.5, QB rating- 57.8

    So Dalton can finish the season with a 158.3 rating, if he plays like this in the playoffs it doesn't matter.

    Yeah, I'm 95% off the Tannehill bandwagon (pending the last 5 games), but the player I'll be rooting for the most today will be Tannehill. Would like nothing more than that he shows he was shackled by the HC and OC. I doubt that's the real story, and for me this is his last chance (can't blame failures on others forever), but I really really hope we don't have to go back to searching for a franchise QB because that search over almost the last 2 decades has been really painful.

    Tannehill as he is now is serviceable, you don't get rid of a 20+ TD, 1.5+ TD/INT ratio a season QB without a darn good reason. I think his best years are to come and will give a team, unlikely ourselves, ten years of solid to near elite QB play in the future.

    It's not about what your opinion is, man. It's about the merit of your reason and what you can bring to the table to open other people's eyes. Any attempt to make people feel unwelcome because they're more optimistic than the average poster or draw lines between groups is BS in my opinion.

    It's totally against what a forum should be about. In that vein, F any forum that wouldn't be accepting of pro-Tannehill views. Snark and sarcasm-that's the depth of the analysis in this thread. I have a lot to say on this matter but I'm going to refrain because of the vibes in this forum.

    While I am not a Tannehill supporter as the long term answer for the Dolphins because I just don't see him as a QB who can EVER help this team win a SB. I root for him every time the team plays and I would love nothing better than for him to prove me wrong.

    I am not offended by the Tannehill supporters or the anti-Tannehill crowd. Because forums like this are where differing opinions should be respected, whether you agree with the opinions of another poster or not.

    What crow? That he hasn't improved this season? Great. You guys are acting like he looked like **** all along. He hasn't.

    This season has me not as hyped about him. I was advocating trying to get a second rounder for him recently.

    I'd be absolutely floored with a first.

    Seeing theres 17 people on here who wouldn't trade Thill for a top 15 pick is pretty funny. Must be more Jets, Bills, Patriots fans on this forum than I thought.

    His ability to consistently lead this team in critical situations on critical throws. He makes bad reads, his accuracy is inconsistent, and he still stares down receivers in his 4th season.

    So for people holding out hope that he's the long term answer, they need to stop lying to themselves is all I'm saying. Every once in awhile, Tannehill makes a play.. But for every play he's made I guarentee he's missed 4 or 5 when he had a clean pocket this year(for people who want to put all the blame on the OL, which admittedly sucks.)

    Bookmarked for when Tannehill is where Henne is now (for the people that voted no)

    If people are going to do real analysis with fair comparisons to other players and draw conclusions based on the data, I'm fine with reading that.

    It's not ok to pollute the forum with negative, cynical, snarky, and divisive BS that states the conclusion first ("Tannehill sucks") and subsequently uses a bunch of general, non-specific offensive stats to back up.

    The lack of effort in the criticism is what hurts the forum.

    Trolling? Do you know what trolling is? I'm trolling cause I'm explaining that I don't think Tanne is the answer for the Dolphins on a Dolphins fan forum? Ok..

    If you had cancer would you say, "I think I'll keep it unless you give me a really good deal on treating it?" If a starting QB is not the answer then the team should take whatever they can get and move on...cut him you have to...believe me, I am not opposed to getting a 1st round pick for him, but I think it would be a mistake to not move on unless Miami were to get one.

    He has had 4 years...IT'S TIME to MOVE ON!

    Actually that's a decision many make. Often, if they're properly informed, they understand the options are: 1) treat cancer and live a few extra years but be sick and weak most of the time (side effects of the treatment) until you most probably die from cancer anyway vs. 2) don't treat it and live comparatively speaking healthy for fewer years until cancer kills you. Thing is, many people think there's a higher chance of the treatment actually curing you than there actually is, so they don't choose option 2 as often as they otherwise might.

    Exactly...Wow is totally appropriate. You don't think our offense is sick?

    10 out of 12 games this year Miami's offense has scored 20 points or less. Worst in the league in converting 3rd downs, putting the defense on the field an exuberant amount of time where they get worn out. I think the analogy is relevant to the situation.

    To the Tannehill fans the cancer has been Sherman, Philbin, Lazor and not allowing Tannehill to have input on the offense and call audibles so Miami tried to cut it out...They are all gone and it looks like disease is getting worse, not better.

    There is another option and that is to treat it by making a change, a healthy change...eating healthy, exercising, etc...and cutting out what made the person sick in the first place.

    Correct.

    It was a very political time in San Diego. One side wanted to go with Brees and another badly wanted the young Philip Rivers out there.

    Brees' injury sealed his fate in San Diego. Tragic story really. It was only fair that Brees had some success in New Orleans.
