Dorkington Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 how do you think Tannehill would look with our team? Say if we didnt get cassell and harvin to more or less balance the books. I'd say roughly like he has with the Dolphins so far. Solid and safe, not a huge playmaker, but doesn't actively hurt a team. That's generally what I think of him so far, he's a solid middle of the pack guy. If he's surrounded by talent, he'll be successful, if he's not, he won't be.

PlayoffsPlease Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Tannehll only played QB 1 year in college and has shown steady improvement in the NFL. Personally I think they over paid because Tannehill has a pretty decent chance of not being a long term answer. In recent years Rex Ryan was instrumental in a disastrous QB contract with Mark Sanchez and Doug Whaley was the second in command for the nearly as disastrous Ryan Fitzpatrick contract. So all of us here at twoobd should hope that its simply Miami's turn to screw the pooch on the QB contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @AlbertBreer: Tannehill's new-$$ average ($19.25M) is 6th among QBs. Only QB among 15 highest paid to not have a plus-.500 season or playoff appearance. Â True, but that speaks more to contract dates than anything else. He'll likely be passed by Cam, Eli, Rivers, Luck and Wilson by next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Ha ha tannehill sucks, we have nobody but tannehill has played enough to show that he'll probably never be elite while the guy we have who has completely sucked and been benched as a result might have this magical upside that we haven't quite ruled out yet because we haven't seen enough of him. Even though tannehill just started playing the position of quarterback a few years ago. Our guy can go from suck to good but their guy is what he is. Joke's on the dolphins, ha ha ha, blah blah blah... EDIT: It's exactly like a situation in which the guy you think is a complete douchebag at the gym is bangin an average looking chick (but she is an actual chick) and you talk s**t about him and his girl to make you feel better about yourself, when meanwhile, you haven't gotten laid since 1999.

Â Tannehill has 1 more year on Manuel and far more games played. I think most Manuel supporters would say he has to step up or he is gone after this year. Â Tannehill was nearly benched last year, but they stuck with him, and he has gotten better, but he does have his problems, and our QB situation has no impact on that assessment.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I find it kind of funny how the anti-EJ posters are the ones who agree most with the Dolphins. Â Tannehill had an extraordinarily up and down season his rookie year, and he wasn't all that much better his second. But mysteriously, after playing for a few seasons he gets better and is worth shelling out the big bucks for? Â Tannehill is the best sales pitch ever for giving EJ a legit shot to win this training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
