LOL, I'd vote for this just to watch the chaos in the thread.... But no, Tannehill is not a good fit for this offense.
Yeah, Tannehill doesn't have the timing needed for our offense. And if he doesn't make his read within ~3 seconds, I don't know if he's going to stay alive behind our line.
How come you guys don't believe that if Tannehill had a coach that believed in him, and crafted things specifically for him, that he couldn't be successful here?
OMG.. this again? Tannehill had everything he could ask for, essentially an all-star surrounding cast in Tennessee, surprised everyone by playing elite 2 years but then reverted to what we all know about him: a QB that cannot carry his team when the team is doing poorly. Had a chance to take a #1 seed to the SB and crapped in the playoffs. You CANNOT have that kind of QB to have any kind of decent chance to win the SB. Tannehill in years 3-4 in Tennessee was merely average, and last year was well below average. Over his entire career he's just a slightly above average QB. That's not the kind of QB you want on a team. Even as a backup he has the wrong skillset for this offense. Getting rid of Tannehill (which happened way too late) was one of the best things this team has done in the last 10 years.
Yeah he had a wonderful situation. He had the same ****ty issues that Tua had his first couple seasons, minus injuries, and you guys never excused anything. I can't believe you're going to bring up the #1 seed **** when I've heard every excuse in the book for the Dolphins this year losing the #1 seed, and backing in to the playoffs. And you're seriously gonna compare Gase to McDaniel? So ridiculous.
Like, yeah let's compare the end of an older QB career to the beginning of a young guys. Like there are so many reasons for an older player to decline it's completely disingenuous to even try to make that argument.
We weren't the #1 seed. The Titans were. BIG difference. And Gase was trumpeted here by many (not me) as the right coach for Tannehill, one that finally believed in him etc. with all that nonsense. Sorry he didn't pan out. But if you're a Dolphins fan (and you are) you should be very happy we got rid of Tannehill. LOL!! YOU are the one that made that comparison. You asked whether Tannehill TODAY would be successful here with the right coach (i.e., McDaniel). So you are the one that created the "disingenuous" comparison. Good job lol.
The way some of you are poo pooing this you would think they were talking about bringing him in to replace Tua. Is Tannehill good enough as a starter? No. He's proven that over his career. That said, he can absolutely be a reliable backup in this league and probably an improvement over the current backups on the roster.
Not a good fit for this offense. You can expect below average performance when the offense isn’t tailored around him. No as a backup.
