Kind of sad, but as of now, unfortunately, true.

This is very similar to what Sterling Sharpe found last year. Start at the 2:50 mark here:

Wow Sterling sharp sees the same thing two years in a row. We see it, Ryan T. holding the ball, not releasing it at the right time. I'm constantly yelling at the TV get rid of it.

And that's a pretty rough combination. When people are open you don't throw it to them enough, and when they aren't, you can't extend plays with your feet and make throws downfield. That leaves you with a much smaller percentage of plays than the typical QB in which a play can be made. It's little wonder the team has trouble moving the ball and scoring points. -
Tannehill to me is similar to what you'd have if you put Usain Bolt at wide receiver in the NFL: a guy with great speed who can run around very fast on the field, but who would have nowhere near the ability to play the entire wide receiver position well enough to be effective. Similarly, Tannehill has an arm, but nowhere near enough of the diverse skills or abilities to play the entire quarterback position effectively. He's a square peg in a round hole. -
Watch him have great game against a bad team and we will be back on the band wagon.
If not the tents fold up till next season... -

You have to wonder if the constant pressure from having crappy offensive lines has him thinking too much. He does need to start checking down and getting rid of the ball, he holds it too long. He doesn't seem to move up or move very well in the pocket either, a lot of Qbs side step and get out of sacks that Ryan takes. I think the point Sterling makes about Ryan "not seeing or not trusting what he's seeing" is pretty spot on, he just is oblivious to check downs or open guys on a lot of plays. We need to do him a favor and run more and his receivers need to stop dropping the ball, he's been victimized by some terrible drops at times too so its not all him.

The Raiders are the absolute worst team in the NFL and the Dolphins offense should be able to move the ball and Tannehill will probably play effectively against this poor excuse of an NFL team.
It all comes down to how effective Tannehill will be over the last 12 games for me. If he plays like he did in the first three games, he will NOT be the starting QB next year under a new head coach. -
For some reason he's just too lackadaisical when the game isn't absolutely on the line or its time to go full throttle. I would bet if all of the above plays were the last play of the game or even in the 2 minute drill he'd actually pull the trigger on time. Its funny how much more effective he, and the entire offense, looks during the 2 minute drills.

took too many hits last year. seeing ghosts on the field, hearing footsteps behind him...thank you, Philbin.
will he shake it off & begin to fulfill his potential or fade away like so many others in the past?
I think game four is turning point one way or the other.
this is the type of thing that you either suddenly come back from after a few games or it destroys you.
either way we'll know after they play the tomorrow. -

I don't see recognition, and to me that's why even though he has some speed he doesn't run, cause he doesn't recognize.

Again, though, isn't this what you'd expect from someone who was moved from wide receiver to quarterback? Contrast that with Wilson, who had more than double the number of pass attempts than Tannehill at the college level. -

Edit: In fact, they really didn't get it clicking until their 9th game...Arians says hi. -

Foles's adjustment to the Eagles' new (Chip Kelly) offense as a young and relatively inexperienced QB is what we're talking about here, not the Eagles' performance as a team prior to Foles's involvement. -

In their first four. I guess we can do something fairly similar with a good game. -
