Great to see him run, great to see him at least try to throw down the field.

He had a great game, Hartline topped 1k yds etc

 

The play that I really liked was where stepped up in the pocked looked like he was going to scramble stopped and hit Fasano with a laser. The throw was a bit behind Fasano but he also made a great catch.

 

Ryan tries to throw the ball down the field several times a game.

 

It was against the Jags, sure, but he looked really good out there today.

 

Seriously, had to stick that in there in Tannehill's thread?

BTW, Hartline's 1k yards is a product of a passing game that will happen regardless of who is on the field combined with no depth behind him or starter to challenge his job as we saw today with no Davone Bess. I love how people treat it as if the passing game would entirely disappear if Hartline weren't any good as a starter.


Mike Thomas was cut by Jax this year. When forced to be a starter for 11 games in 2010 Thomas had 820 yards and 4 TDs. Just some perspective.

 

Btw, when was the last time Tannehill threw an INT? Say what you will about the rookie, he sure isn't a reckless thrower. Less than 1 Int per game as a rookie with all his passing attempts, that's something positive to build on.

 

I wouldn't have said anything if he hasn't been so anti Tannehill.

 

Just stop already. We know you don't like Hartline.

Congrats to Tanny, I was hoping he would have a great game today and he delivered! Hope he finishes the season strong.

 

Glad he played well. Let's see it two games in a row now. The last two months have been Tannehill alternating good performances with bad ones. Need to see some consistency outta him.

 

Only 78%? wow not good enough to get to 80 huh? I bet RGIII or Luck would have

 

Kudos to tannehill he played really well today.Hopefully he will carry this through the final 2 games and gives us some hope going into 2013.

 

That's exactly how others and I feel when we have to ridiculously hear week after week how great of a starter Hartline is and how Tannehill is the one holding him back. When people stop posting that inflated nonsense I'll stop responding to it. I'd actually like to be able to appreciate Hartline for the quality complimentary player he is, but that's quite difficult while having to argue against some of this lunacy.

Fixed this statement for you with the underlined part.... for the sake of accuracy and all.

 

Smarter fans can see the promise in Tannehill, the rest...not so much.

 

Not in last three games! I think he had one vs. Seattle.

 

The funny thing is that I agree with that statement. I do not like him as a No. 1 receiver, I'd rather have him as a 2 or 3. But he got 1000 yards and to just ignore that or act like he didn't earn it is ridiculous.

But this isn't a thread to talk about this.

 

I'm anxious to see how he plays against Buffalo next week. This will be the first time he's had the chance to play a team twice (Jets game doesn't count since he got hurt so early).

 

I don't want to ignore Hartline's 1k yards, but I almost have to in principle alone b/c of how much a few posters are using his yardage stats as an argument to qualify him as great starting receiver. 1k yards is truly a nice job by a substitute starter, and I'd like to be able to appreciate it as such. My last post on the topic.

 

If this game is an indicator what Tannehill will be, then the drought will be broken.

 

Good point, and he hasn't made a lot of bone-headed plays. Most of his picks came off of tipped balls or trying to bring us back into games late in the 4th quarter and forcing a ball. Say what you will but having Tannehill play this whole season is going to pay dividends next year and the following year.

I think my favorite throw of todays game was the one on third down and goal (it was by the goal line anyway) were Hartline ran a little in and Tannehill rifled it in there between the linebacker and the CB. He had a hell of an arm to get it in there fast enough and pretty good accuracy to fit it into that small area. Hartline couldn't hold onto it (the DB was all over him) and it was incomplete, but that throw made me say, "wow."

I would love to get Tannehill a WR that would stretch the field. Terrance Williams from Baylor comes to mind.

 

Even if Tannehill throws 2 TDs per game next 2 weeks the TD production is still going to be a disappointment this year.

BUT finishing strong is important. If he can have a couple more games like this to close the season I'm sure it will make a world of difference for next season.

 

Loved what Tannehill did today. Looked very solid. Anybody else find it interesting how well Cousins did with the Skins today? I know there has been a lot of debate recently about how RG3 and Luck have done well because of the talent around them. To give a little more life to that theory Cousins who, excuse me to toot my own horn I found to be the most impressive at the combine, went for 329 yards and 2 TD's today. Anybody else feel like this says more about the Redskins than it does RG3?

 

Not on one game, no.

 

His Qb rating on the year is 75.8.

 

He's now just a tad above average in comparison to the 27 QBs who have played as rookies since 2004.

 

That's not so bad. If he finishes out the year strong, he could get his QB rating in the low 80s.

 

It's not bad at all, but remember that he's playing in the same system he did in college, which I imagine is a rarity among rookie QBs. Then again, his level of rawness is probably a rarity, as well. Most guys as raw as he are holding a clipboard in their rookie years.

 

wow, so now it's higher than Andrew Luck's 75.5?... and with an inferior receiving corps to boot?
