I just thought that this board needed a Tannehill thread. They have been lacking around here as of late. The record and numbers are a bit scary, BUT, I think are boy is going to break that streak this weak. Streaks are meant to be broken. Woooooo!! Lets go!!!!! Bring it on!!!!

No, he HAS been terrible in those games. No excuse, no sugar coating. In fact....he's terrible in division games as a whole...home or away, doesn't matter.

Yeah, I mean, it certainly seems realistic to have expected the QB who everyone knew needed time to develop, to go into divisional games and carry the team, right out of the gate. With a terrible oline. And suspect receivers. And bad coaching.
I agree he needs to play better, but, again, to put all the onus on him is silly. A young, developing QB needed help...and he rarely got it. -
Dude this is all the offensive line, coaches, receivers dropping passes, RBs suck, and where is the Pope? Where is his help for Tannehill? These struggles have nothing NOTHING to do with Tannehill. After all QBs don't influence the game that much. The fact that Rodgers, Manning, and Brady are always on winning teams is just pure luck. They have hall of fame players at every position and their WRs are getting 30 YAC. Tannehill is a HOF QB so just step off with this BS.

As for the dual threat QB, you may have misunderstood what I meant and that could certainly and probably be my fault. I was saying that he doesn't have that ability or instinct and we should hope for a great pocket passer. I understand about the amount of running QBs. It's great to have, but I would always want the QB to be a proficient, true pocket passer. It's the ability to sense the pressure and use those nimble, subtle lateral and horizontal movements IN the pocket that I like and want. He does need improvement in that area.resnor likes this. -
Question: was Tannehill drafted as a fairly raw prospect with a high ceiling who needed time to develop?
Question: was the oline bad? Was it full of raw prospects who needed time to develop?
Question: were the receivers all raw prospects who needed time to develop? Were the receivers good?
Seriously, you guys don't even try to have realistic conversations about these things. You just want to complain about Tannehill, and throw garbage posts at anyone who gives the slightest information that opposed your narrow view. -

I'm not ready to pin our woes at Buffalo on Tannehill. The Bills are the Dolphins kryptonite. Their front 7 is very good and easily outmatches our OL. They make it tough to run, which means we have to pass more. They get to the QB very well which forces Tannehill into tough situations. They run the ball well and we don't defend it very well.
I'm not letting Tannehill of the hook because he definitely needs to step up his game but at the same time, they all do.resnor likes this. -

Had to get that out...back to Club. -

Is it possible our division opponents have him figured out since they face him more often? Yeah, away games are tough but that's brutal.
Yeah, the team has been to blame as well but damn.

Sounds like we all agree finally that the entire offense is pretty bad this year, Ryan included.
Settled. They both blow

In fairness to Ryan Tannehill virtually nobody goes into New England and wins so all those losses can be explained. Young QB in a VERY hostile environment going up against a loaded team that is coached by the best of a generation. Tannehill losing against NE I understand.
His playing poorly against the NYJ is less defensible but still, they had good defenses under Rex Ryan. His playing poorly against the Bills is less defensible than NE, but they too have had an awesome defense over the last several years.
Before you cast any judgement you have to admit that virtually any young QB would have very likely looked bad going up against the Bills defense twice a year, Rex Ryan twice a year and Bill Belichick twice a year.
It just so happens that the best defenses Ryan Tannehill faces are the ones in his own division. It's kind BS to compare that with someone like Andrew Luck or Matt Ryan for example who won a lot of games early in their careers beating lousy teams.cuchulainn, Aqua4Ever04 and resnor like this. -
He still needs to overcome these things at some point if he is to be considered the franchise QB.
