Who is Simms arguing against here? Are there really a lot of fans saying Tannehill is the problem? It's nice to see him saying nice things about him, but I don't see any kind of storm swirling around Tannehill that Simms needs to calm.

when Sims did one of our games down here he talked on inside the nfl after that he was shocked at how impatient our fanbase is, and was obviously mocking the fanbase.
I to hope ryan tannehill can become as good as the so called ''2nd tier qbs'' Joe flacco, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck and obviously Ben Rothlesberger...lol..2nd tier my ***, what a dumass statement by a football reporter..
all four of those qbs are great qbs.dolphin25, bakedmatt and shamegame13 like this. -

we could only wish to have one of this 2nd tier types he mentioned, any team would..
can he get there...ughhh idk..all five of those guys he mentioned as 2nd tier, and you can include romo in that quote, has a specific type of playmaking ability that ryan has not shown that he has in his makeup.

Wait a second, there's a few of you(or a certain one) out there that say nobody in the media says anything positive about Ryan, and that everyone in the media says he's below average? :lol:
SMH
As I said in that other thread... Stop listening to the local idiots that have no clue, and start listening to the guys that know what they're talking about, and that played in the league. -
Phil Sims is a tier Two qb with a ring. We had a tier one qb in the same era with no rings. I think Ryan has show he has at least tier two ability. Lets build this guy a team and see what happens???

Before Tanny's rookie year I actually asked Simms about his potential and could starting him with a suspect OL would hurt his growth and perhaps stunt it and he was confident he would be fine, it liked him from the beginning .
I was working a Pepsi NFL event he was at and I had to mic him up along with Barry Sanders, Jerry Jones, John Mara, Goodell and Trey Wingo...one of the cooler gigs I worked at. -
Is wish it were that easy Phil. But the naysayers can't accept the fact that not everyone is Brady, Manning, Luck or Marino.

This fanbase is no harder on Ryan then any other fanbase is on a QB that has solidified his spot. Only 1 or 2 posters have I seen since the end of the season have been stating Ryan needs to be replaced.
Simms is talking to be talking p, when it comes to that part.shamegame13 likes this. -
I don't want Phil Simms defending Tannehill. lol.

find me someone, anyone who thinks that ryans individual qb play has been close to on par with Luck, Berger, Wilson, or Flacco?
im not being braggadocios here, not going out on a limb..
Can he get to those so called 2nd tier qb's play is a silly question because those 4 mentioned are not 2nd tier by anyone with half a brain about the game..and ryan has a way to go to be a top tier qb. -

I like RT17, I have him ranked as the 13th best QB in the NFL and growing but some of you make it seem like this guy is the best QB in the NFL and he has no faults. Which is both far from the truth.
We were an 8-8 team. Nobody should be proud on this team and there isnt one great player on this team. Everyone needs to step up, including your golden boy RT17. -
I think having Ryan ranked 13th overall is very fair, I have him in that vicinity myself. But I also see some areas that need improving and not afraid to point those things out.
I think people confuse that with "not liking" him...Im excited he's my QB, and he is about to have a tremendous season hence the extension talks right now.bran, shamegame13 and djphinfan like this. -
Let's see...wow, when I break it down as far as how many qbs I would take over Ryan long term wise, he's right there on the cusp of top 10, maybe even slipping in the back door.

I'll take psuedo-positive reinforcement when I can get it. Better than ESPN and others who don't even acknowledge Tannehill as even being a part of the draft class.

I guess since I dont have RT17 in the top five, this means I think he sucks and want him out of town.... Give me a breakdjphinfan likes this. -
The thing which continues to frustrate me about Tannehill is his continued inconsistency. He can look like one of the top QB's in the league one week and like one of the worst QB's the next week.
I am certainly willing to see how next season unfolds in regards to him taking that next step up as an NFL QB. Especially since there are no better options in free agency or in this years draft.
I just can't get all that excited about a QB who has gone up against Geno Smith four times in the past two years and been completely outplayed by the 31st B ranked QB on this list, the last two times the game was played on the Dolphins home field. -
