Good use of the last pick in the fourth round. Five minutes later, and we'd be talking about the Bills spending a fifth round pick on him. I can't understand criticism of this pick.
-
At this point in his career Tannehill is pretty much the definition of mediocre. It's his 4th season and he has started 51 games so the "he's still developing" argument really falls upon deaf ears.
24-27 W-L record with decent talent around him, 84 QB rating, <7 yards/attempt...nothing stellar about those numbers. Can't hit the deep ball, relies almost exclusively on quick, short passing game. Has also failed in clutch late season opportunities when Fish could have pushed for a playoff spot.
He has protected the ball rather well (68/45 TD/INT ratio) but that's not completely surprising when you look at the sort of passes he throws (low risk).
Tannehill is the sort of QB whose stats will look decent at the end of the season, but never wows you or is a difference maker.
Perfect.
It's kind of interesting... you're either a top 10 QB, or you're ****.
Seems there's no middle ground, which is where I feel QBs like Tannehill sit.
He's about as "middle ground" as one can get.
Barbarian's been touting him as a star since he was at A&M, which is why I found it necessary to needle him a little bit.
No big deal either way.
not to derail the thread .
How many other QB's were people suggesting for Buffalo in the offseason? And how well are those others doing
1. Good, let's not.
2. Irrelevant.

What was his impression of Tanny? It was probably closer than your (incorrect one) of "He's not good, he wasn't good, and he really never will be good."
0/3 on the day.
All I have to judge on is 2 (now 3) games. And I don't remember saying anything too inflammatory, other than the defense sucked against the Pats. Which I probably will still believe after 16 games.
Go back to Tanny's draft year and read his posts. Tanny was going to be a freaking HOFer.
I like Barbarian; I want him to own up.
Betcha' goin' fishin' all o' da' time, baby, goin' fishin' too Bet yo' life, yo' sweet wife, catch mo' fish than you Many fish bites if ya' got good bait
Here's a little tip that I would like to relate Fred's Ghost goin fishin', Offsides goin' fishin’ And baby goin' fishin' too.
I have no idea what this means. It's written nicely in the Uncle Remus style, but other than that, your effort (which seems considerable) is lost on me.
-
Because you have a penchant for embarrassment?
I get it; you're Barbarian's daughter. It's nice of you to stick up for your dad. This thread, though, was dedicated to HIS impressions of Tannehill. Wake daddy up and ask him to respond, ok?
-
If Tyrod Taylor throws for 4000 yards, 27 TD's 12 INT's and completes 66.4% of his passes, will you call him mediocre?
#Mediocre #e.g.Fitz
Oh, do shut up. You're out of your mind and you're out of your depth, and you apparently have no idea why I posted this to begin with.
-
Sometimes people claim their Talleywhackers are better than they really are. It happens.
Yes. And I think the guy whose name still is a reference to Chan Gailey is one of them. I have no idea why.
-
You're wrong. Tanny was very good last year.
Another "evaluation" based on two games a year.
It's based on 3 plus years, now, which is how I judge QBs. How was he in the playoffs last year? Oh. I forgot. And how do we judge Bills QBs? Oh yeah. Same thing for Tanny, buddy.
-
The Bills D has owned Tannehill. He looks decent against other teams and usually horrible vs the Bills.
He never has looked better than mediocre, e.g. Fitz, and Barb owes us this.
Not sure if you were here the year Tannehill was drafted, but it was BRUTAL.
-
well, that's what you get for reading his posts
IMO, outside of his opinion on this particular QB, I don't think his posts are bad at all. And he seems to be a pretty nice guy.
But on this, Barbarian, I've fought you, and you've been fighting for too long. Own it and own up.
-
hard to really tell when he's got zero support from anywhere
and I mean anywhere
It really doesn't matter.
It's time, Barbarian.
-
After years of touting Tannehill. And after a bunch of us, not just me, saying, "nah," I think you owe us--and by "us," I mean everyone with a freaking sane mind on this board (so like 3 people)--an "own up." He's not good, he wasn't good, and he really never will be good.
Still love ya, my man.

I wrote this at SabreSpace and someone asked me to post it here:
Very materially. In the Second Circuit (for the rest of the board, that's where this is playing out, if this was filed in Manhattan): a party must demonstrate (1) irreparable harm absent injunctive relief and (2) either (a) a likelihood of success on the merits, or (b) a serious question going to the merits to make them a fair ground for trial, with a balance of hardships tipping decidedly in the plaintiff’s favor.
Lots of circuits do not have the "serious question" option.
Now let's analyze: What's the irreparable harm? Not his lost salary, because money is never, ever considered "irreparable harm." Not likely his reputation, since at the end of the day, he could still be vindicated by a verdict in his favor. It's got to be the opportunity to play. With a normal occupation, that won't fly, since the real opportunity is to earn money (again, never, ever considered "irreparable harm"),but maybe with a waning football career, he's got something. Maybe.
The second prong of the test: Overturning an arbitrator's decision is hard, so he probably doesn't have a likelihood of success on the merits. But one basis for overturning an award is arbitrator bias, and he may try to argue that Goodell is biased. That's at least a serious question going to the merits. Now we're down to a balance of hardships, and whether it tips decidedly in his favor, and I have no idea. The league has a serious interest in wanting to effectively and efficiently discipline cheaters. Brady has an interest in playing football. Don't know what a judge is going to do there. -

Well, my original post is no longer correct now that Easley has been re-signed.
-
In two years, everyone from the 2013 draft could be gone. Does that mean Whaley sucks?
It's a little different if one of the players is traded for value, no?
Otherwise, it still would indicate a problem evaluating and/or retaining talent.
-
With the departure of CJ Spiller, no player drafted by the Bills in 2010 remains with the team. This means the team did an extremely poor job of evaluating talent, retaining talent, and/or both. Not a recipe for success.
Let's hope the new regime's picks turn out better.
EDIT: Easley re-signed after I posted this. (Or it was reported after I posted this.)
-
Sorry, did I need to be more specific?
Maybe. This thread has been going on for nearly two years: http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/21880-the-trial-of-terry-pegula/
I'm sure today's news will lead to its resurrection.
-
Cue the first criticisms of Terry as the "meddling owner".
You've never been to SabreSpace, I take it.
-
I would NOT do that
EJ Manuel may well end up improving
He very well may. It's time to take the risk with this team and go for it. If EJ leaving is what's needed to make this happen, I'd be prepared to accept the risk that he improves elsewhere.
-
In theory, I agree. Except that you then have a TON of money tied up in QB with other areas left to address.
Lets say we sign McCown for 2yrs at $4m per. I believe it will take atleast that much to land him.
Then you get Bradford. His cap hit is $16m. Even if you extend/restructure his deal and bring the number down to $10m (which would be difficult and risky), that leaves $14m, plus a little over $2.4m for EJ. You can't cut EJ, it would cost more to cut him than keep him. There's the rub.
It's interesting to talk about, but I don't believe Bradford will end up being moved.
So include EJ as a piece in the trade.

47. Grass. Unless you think you can make it, consider shutting TFU.
-
Any one find it absurd that they are considering rules like a 35 yard extra point and making the goal posts narrower while continuing to let kickers use a separate ball?
They're not letting the kickers use a separate ball; they are forcing the kickers to use a separate ball. This rule was instituted to make it more difficult for kickers, not easier.
