Either Freeman or Moore get traded. Most likely Freeman.

 

Moore gets traded/cut Tannehill starts. cause only way freeman out preforms tannehill is preseason and that hardly means anything.

 

Tanny is not going to get traded because Freeman outperforms him.It means Freeman has some value and either him or Moore will be traded.

That's like saying What if Sturgis starts making FGs.

 

Then our coaches start questioning reality and whether or not they're in a coma. An alternate universe is created in which all virtue is barraged with doubt and cynicism to the point they start buying pot from Ricky Williams. They slowly start disassociating from their egos until one Sunday they all decide to invite a local native American shaman to bless the locker room. Said Shaman spikes the Gatorade with Peyote and I don't know if you've seen the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats", but suffice it to say that the final scene would be a rough facsimile... Just imagine Dan Marino and Don Shula flying off into the sunset in Stephen Ross' helicopter...

 

This coaching staff would be too queasy to make the call.

 

Freeman will be playing majority of time against guys that will be bagging groceries come week 1. So you tell us, what do YOU take from it if Freeman outplays them?

 

If Freeman outperforms Tannehill, we will be blessed with a solid backup. I just hope his modeling days are over. Seriously though....Freeman is another Mark sanchez, decent backup, not a starter.

 

What are the logistics behind a lurk/rep requirement before threads can be started?

 

Unless Tannehill gets hurt and Freeman plays during the regular season, there won't be a big enough sample size of meaningful play from which to determine that Freeman should start over Tannehill.

Training camp and the preseason are hardly going to be enough proving ground to show that Freeman should start over Tannehill.

 

That would be like saying "what if I am banging a supermodel and my supermodel wife walks in?"

Ain't never gonna happen.

 

meh, i wouldn't say tannehill or freeman are supermodels. Maybe, maybe tannehill's wife. But the two QBs right now are more like jc penny catalogue models.

 

then he should win the start. I play to win!

 

let them compete. I play to win.

 

If Tannehill is a JC Penney's catalog model, then Freeman is a Walmart model.

 

As was said, since he'll be playing against scrubs most of the time, the best case is getting a low pick back in a trade instead of cutting him.

 

It means Freeman performed well against future UPS and Target employees.



Is this a serious thread?!?!?

 

IF my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

 

Why do some posters here think it couldn't happen? I've heard of rose colored glasses, but we Phin Phans take it to a whole other level.

 

Thinking that Freeman doesn't have a chance in Hades of taking the starting job from Tannehill isn't having rose colored glasses. Rose colored glasses would be Phin fans thinking that a guy who failed to stick as a backup on the Giants, and then was out of the league for a year, is somehow going to be better than Tannehill, and would somehow net us a high draft pick.

 

it would not matter in the least. Tannehill started when he was out performed his first year. Tannehill will start no matter what or who is brought in.

 

It's just using... common sense. I mean this is a guy who failed in Tampa. Couldn't beat out Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder in Minnesotta. Couldn't even make the Giants roster as a backup, and there's rumous he's had off field issues, and to top it all off he hasn't exactly played, or been in the league in a while. It's completely realistic to think there's not a great chance of this scenario happening.

As a matter of fact, given the above, and the reality of the situation, thinking it might happen is more of a "rose colored glasses" situation than anything here in this discussion.

 

This is a great signing, but let's add some context. The team goes into camp with 3 QBs that can throw the ball. Each is a pocket passer with some mobility and slightly different preferences on where the throw the ball (i.e., outside, seam, and deeper outside). The benefits of the signing should be found in the following:

• WR Development - All WRs, including the upcoming late draft picks and UDFAs will have a chance to stand out since none will have a lousy-arm QB throwing to them. If unheralded players copy Landry's work ethic, having current and former NFL starting QBs should make it easier for the staff to determine if such WRs make the team.
• CB Development - eliminating inexperienced and weak-armed QBs means the CBs will not have any easy reps. Since J Taylor and W. Davis plus any rookies added lack playing experience, this could help prepare the CBs for the start of the season.

The realistic goal for Freeman is to beat out Moore for the 2nd team. His meeting with Kurt Warner has put into the right mind frame that his return to the 1st team can happen through injuries.

Finally, this QB approach is ideal for my NBAzation of the NFL theory. WRs are becoming more like basketball players that have ability to drive to the basket, which requires explosiveness, quickness, and body control. Age is important as most people start to lose these athleticism as their body naturally fills out. CBs are taking advantage of the technologies that have help NBA players become better defenders. Experience and ability to study tendencies and film are enabling savvy veterans to excel at defense. Having experience QBs (ball distributors) means inexperienced WRs have a chance to demonstrate if their athleticism translates on the football field (as opposed to combine athleticism) while challenging the experienced CBs to make defensive adjustments to stop their man.

 

We all know Fin D shops at Big Lots...

 

If Josh Freeman outperforms Ryan Tannehill, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing.

If he outperforms Matt Moore then Moore could get traded or cut purely as an expense-saving maneuver.

 

I also believe the positive in the Josh Freeman signing is you don't have guys like Gator Hoskins and the like getting torpedoed because the best you can do throwing them the football is Seth Lobato.

But that is provided Josh Freeman actually HAS shown up ready to play. Because the last time he suited up in camp with the Bucs he was absolutely awful, on par with a Seth Lobato.

 

You're talking about a coke head who was out of the league last season beating out a 4k yard passer than has improved every year....gimme a ****in break.


You say Moore? Maybe. I guess it's possible? Freeman gtfo
