Good. That means they will be all in on getting some coaches that will work with tannehill, not against. Right or wrong, atleast we will have no debate the next few seasons.

 

Let him hit on 30 td's, that is the bar

 

Interesting article. The question is whether Armando's getting accurate information there. Does the Dolphins front office REALLY think Tannehill is a better long-term prospect than Cam Newton?? He claims that's what they told him, but whether that's what they really believe is another story, and I'm not convinced that's what they really believe.

The quotes from the coaches were useful too. Basically shows they don't think Tannehill can process information fast, i.e. he doesn't have much football smarts. At least it's comforting to know they think Tannehill isn't that smart a QB (shows coaches aren't THAT dumb).

 

They value Tannehill so high yet he isn't even allowed to audible

 

SWEET! Long live 8-8

 

If this is the result of a "build a long term roster" thought exercise, I'm a little horrified at the age distribution of these QBs. They're either pretty old or very young. The only median is Cam Newton.

But if this is more of a "build a roster for this year" thought exercise, the selections are more understandable.

As for the coaching staff, most of them will not be here next year, and their opinions can be safely disregarded.

 

This all reminds me a bit of the Jay Cutler debate.

Just from what I'm seeing from Tannehill, he appears like a really frustrated Qb

2 td's per game, on avg, will have him knocking on the 30 td club, to me that is where the rubber meets the road

 

I think Armando uses a ton of conjecture there. I didn't read anything new in any of that..hes just trying to connect dogs to get them to lead somewhere

 

Coaching staff is speaking the truth and the front office is saying what they need to say knowing well that there is an escape hatch in his contract if any of this is truth.

 

That was my first thought as well, just not sure you can take the FO at their word, are they just backing their product to show stability, because midseason they aren't going to admit anything, and guys get fired right after they get extensions that show how much the FO believes in their guy, so you can't take the FO at their word.

 

If one of the top QBs in the draft falls to us, you would have to give it strong consideration. Bring him in and let him compete. See what happens. Maybe you get an Aaron Rodgers type situation and he sits for a bit, but pays off down the road.

 

How bad will tannehill play against a divisional opponent this time?

 

Of course the front office is going to sit there and back up their 1st round draft pick who is still starting at the moment. Especially mid season. It is more telling how the coaches don't have a lot of confidence in him.

 

They are looking at Memphis and no he wont fall to us. It will have to be a splash.

 

Like Matt Moore but with less balls? Sorry I went there

 

Better question is, how bad will the team play against another divisional opponent?

 

If that is accurate we officially have the DUMBEST front office in the NFL. You almost could argue the age factor with a couple guys then you see a Cam Newton and are forced to just shake your head and prepare to keep being a crappy franchise.

 

Except that Tannenbaum is known for giving up picks and what-not to go up and get a player he really likes. Maybe all this is a smokescreen for just such a move. Personally, I wouldn't mind. Better to take a gamble and fail than play it safe and stay average.

 

They cant say what they want to say in the middle of the season. C'mon man

 

armando is also telling us that the he's heard from sources that the from office loves paxton from memphis...

 

Couldnt agree more although he is known for mortgaging the future to his demise and the teams. We do have a lot of escape clauses right now on big contracts.

 

This talk has been circulating for more than a month.

 

Do you see how these reports conflict??

Feeling like an attempt to save face that we are interested in replacing our 90M QB.

 

Or retain our perception of value of him

 

Considering Landry and Matthews might not play, the state of our OL, and our incompetent OC, and our inexperienced HC, combined with a QB who hasn't had a real QB coach in his career in the NFL... I'd say the chances are pretty good he plays like ****, just like all year.

 

I know you know you can evaluate a qb regardless of the pieces round him?..

I don't see him playing like sh##, he better not play like sh##.

 

Like this?

 

Coaching staff sucks. Lazor needs to go. Personnel department is right on this one. If there is this disconnect its guaranteed that Lazor is gone next season which should make all of us happy

 

the front office views him the same way we do. Which is good. It means Lazor is out next year and we will be getting some offensive linemen in the offseason.

 

no. we have some of the dumbest fans in the NFL though

 

To me, Tannehill is miscast in this style of offense, as in wildly miscast.

Remember the up tempo/no huddle offense Lazor was supposed to install?

Yeah, that was fun..never saw it out on the field.

IIRC THill's magic number of passes is 35, below that number he is quite good, instead the offense features Miller maybe getting 12 carries and Tannehill pass pass pass, which does not mesh will with our offensive line *cough* talent, nor Tannehill at this point strengths....

We've watched him improve his deep passing tremendously this season, to me that also means he will sharpen up as a passer as he gains more experience especially in the right offense.

 

No one I trust more than our staff and FO to evaluate the QB position. Great track records, all.

My issue with sticking only with Tannehill is that, in doing so, you're expecting him to progress in a very very uncommon manner. You're expecting him to be an exception to the rule. QBs hardly ever get suddenly good after their first 3-4 years. If they haven't flashed a really good season by then, odds are they never will, let alone consistently. By that point you generally are who you are. Looking around the League at who you'd take over him is a small part of the thinking; you need to ask how you can find/develop a great QB.

Look at Drew Brees. Ups and downs in SD, injuries, etc...but in his 3rd year as a starter he had the 3rd-highest passer rating in the League. Flashed legit hi-end potential. People who are surprised by Cam's 2015 success I guess forgot his rookie season when he was a total force (OROY, pro bowl, 35 TDs, boosted CAR by +4 in the W column). Those are the kinds of track records and guys you should be gambling on with a high projection.

Projecting great things from a guy who has shown it before is one thing; projecting greatness from a guy who has never shown it before is, imo, foolish. And waiting for someone to become an exception to the rule is an even bigger mistake.

 

The same front office that wants to draft Paxton Lynch reportedly??? :up:

 

They're not drafting a quarterback high this year, and I'm not sure why people think that's even marginally realistic for a lot of reasons.

 

All that article tells me is that this team is dysfunctional on all levels of football.. LOL @ they would pick him over Cam Newton.. A borderline Top 5 quarterback.. a leader, a real captain.

Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Rivers are all better than Tannehill that's not even remotely debatable. Bortles and Bridgewater are on his level but Bortles is showing something lately.

 

Some of the names you mention, the article stated , they view Tannehill better in the LONG TERM....not now. I have no problem with the Dolphins doing due diligence on one of the better players in the upcoming draft. I expect no less. I think it's crazy ,but expected, that people will try to spin this to fit what they want to happen. People who view him as "Matt Moore with no balls" or Tannehill has progressed every year , see this article as a definitive "the FO see him as the problem ....or the FO sees him as the answer.

And we wonder why we are a joke in this league....................Look squarely at the front office if this article is accurate.
