Ryan Tannehill is an average QB not a great one.

There have been Superbowl champions with average QB before. So Im not saying the phins cant be any good. If you look at the great QB's in the league, each and every year their teams have +10,11,12 wins. Now before you say "well its not tannys fault that the rest of the team sucks" Look at Peyton Manning. Look at what he did/doing with the Broncos. A bunch of no name WR's on that team. Without Manning the Broncos are a losing team. With him they are superbowl contenders.
You cant say the same for Tanny. Great QB's will have one or two bad games the entire season, and but up big numbers in like 90% of their games. Ryan Tannehill had some great games this season but he also had many bad games. He is inconsistent.
This is why in my opinion he isnt the next Marino. And he hasnt that big of an upgrade from Chad Henne. If you want to blame somone for why the phins suck so bad, it starts with the owner for bringing in the wrong people to run the organization. Bill Parcells is responsible for the most damage done to the phins with all the wasted draft pics setting back the phins for years and bringing in Ireland.
Tannehill had a horrible game. His season was ok to slightly good. He improved and he should be the qb next year. Guy NEEDS to spend the entire offseason with Wallace. Lets look at it objectively though. He lost his starting TE, starting slot receiver, Hartline, the rbs were bad, and the oline was horrendous. He needs alot of work but all things considered he is not the problem.

Tannehill could have had more time had Clabo just fell down and forced Mario to step over him.

Decker, Demaryius Thomas, and Welker are not no name WRs.
2017 Dream Draft (3/17 – NFLDraftScout ~ Rankings used)

223. Aviante Collins, OL, TCU
I'd say average is right. But he's only in his second year and I think he can be above average.
It's a little early to jump to conclusions on him yet, isn't it? I'd say that despite the last 2 games, he's trending in the right direction.

Thank you. That statement makes me think this person has no idea what they're talking about.

They were to Ireland when he drafted.

He doesnt suck but he needs to work on the deep ball intricacies with Wallace as well as pocket presence. Our pass blocking is awful but he took a lot of sacks this year where the great qb's just get rid of the ball or step u; in the pocket or just do something to evade the rush. We got into so many 2nd and 3rd and longs because of sacks that can be avoided.
Tannehill, as well as every other QB, would benefit greatly from watching tape with peyton manning.
:lol:
The quality of these newbies today is just... Jacksonville Jaguar's like.

1972 Miami Dolphins-The ONLY undefeated team in NFL history!!!

Yeah, I still think Tanny can get better but I am not sure he will ever be an elite QB that Marino was.
I just want him to show some of his supposed athletic ability. His footwork in the pocket is horrible. I know the OL is pathetic but he needs to be able to do more when he's pressured. He doesn't seem to know when to tuck it and run and use his straight line speed.
It's a really good idea to make these proclamations after two seasons, because as well all know great QBs are always great from the moment the start playing in the NFL. They never, ever need time to adjust to the game, and they certainly never improve with experience.

He's well behind other young QB's in this league.

You are right, his pocket awarness and deep ball need a lot of work. A lot of those sacks is not the lines fault he can avoid them. I bet you put P. Manning on the Dolphins and we are playoff bound and he doesn't get sacked a record 867 times.

Here we agree. He needs to run more for first downs. He started to and then the Buffalo game happened. I think he may have a leg injury.

So if you put one of the top five qbs EVER back there we would be in the playoffs? What a stretch. I didnt realize that he had to be Manning already

He was sacked 58 times. His whole body is hurt.
The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.

The offensive line still wouldn't be good but peyton manning and his extremely cerebral pre snap reads help his offensive line a lot.

wow. do you even watch other games? or just spout BS because you're upset that we choked so badly?
Yes, he's behind Russell Wilson, but so are majority of QBs in the league. Tannehill improved his play quite a bit this year and right now is better than RGIII and on par with A Luck (although I do believe Luck distances himself in the end). Tannehill is better than Andy Dalton. unfair to compare him to rookies like Manuel and Smith, who he is better than both. Cam Newton is definltely outplaying Tannehill, not a surprise.

By what measure? The stats certainly don't back up your claim. He threw for more yards this season than all of the other "young QBs", while posting similar or better TD numbers.
