someone will be getting a call. this is russian roulette right now. his knee even if he is out for a short period of time is not right. with over a month till the regular season, Miami should protect themselves.
Manning or Romo would work...but I really don't want to talk about that when the guy we backed for six years walked off the field on his own. It could easily be a sprain that needs a week to heal as a serious injury.
Either way we know Doughty is not the answer at backup and Moore isn't as good as T-hill. So we need to have a vet in camp stat. If Tannehill gets better great but I don't want to flush the season to keep from hurting T-hills feelings...
Highly unlikely but fun to think about. I can see Manning wanting no part of coming in cold in the middle of a season, but with a few weeks before the season starts to get ready maybe if Peyton still thinks he has "it" could be lured for one last run! I'd love to see it, but I'd rather Tannehill be healthy.
Whatever they are doing they better hurry the hell up. Times wasting and Tannehill's knee couldn't make it 7 days into TC without a problem so he needs to go have the damned surgery and we need to have a plan as either a starter or a backup to Moore. Doughty ain't the answer.
I think the door has closed on Manning coming back. Realistically, I think if we have to bring someone in, it's either Cutler or Ckap. Of course that all depends on RT's diagnosis. If they're saying 6-8 weeks from now, I don't think I press the panic button yet. That's only probably 3-4 regular season games. I think we can survive that with Matt Moore. Depending on where they feel they're at with Doughty, maybe they'd consider adding a QB2 for that time period. Any longer than that into the regular season though, I think they look at adding a stable option, and I just don't see Manning or Romo coming back. Cutler is a slim possibility to me. Kaepernick is the most likely because he's out there, and looking for work. I'm actually a bit interested in what Gase could do with Kap. Kap's struggles are in reading a D, and with the skill players we have, I'd think a guy like Gase could make that easier on him similar to how he stripped things down early last year with Tannehill until he got comfortable and took off. Kap could also help negate our shaky OL with his mobility. Kap also brings a lot of negativity along with him, sure, but I think I can see the media agenda on that one flipping now that it's been written over and over that it's a travesty he's unemployed, and he's being blackballed by teams etc. etc. With Ross' equality fight with that action group (I cant recall the name) he has I could see Kap being in play, and the move being praised now by some. At least from that angle anyways. Hopefully none of this has to happen though.
