YoloinOhio Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Quote But one game does not tell the whole story of the difference between Tannehill and Allen, the new Bills quarterback you’ll be seeing on the opposing sideline for the next few years. One game actually should make you wary about the future because that was certainly something Allen put on display in a losing cause to Miami. If you’re a football fan, it was fun and exciting to watch. If you’re a Dolphins fan it was unnerving and worrisome because Allen is a rookie. Quote Because while Tannehill showed in his seventh season he’s polished his game to a certain solid level, Allen showed in his seventh start his ceiling is way higher and way more promising than anything the Dolphins have.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Well duh with Tannehill as their only decent QB with no upside. Edited December 3, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This was my exact thought about todays game. I mentioned in the GDT that what we were watching was a team built to compete doing everything they could to lose to a team that is in the middle of a hard rebuild. The bills are going in the right direction. Take away 2-3 key rookie/young player mistakes (on a team starting about 10 first and second year players) and we win that game easy. If im a dolphins fan I don't walk away feeling happy, regardless of the end score. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 They should be worried when they come to Buffalo I'd bet they're going to be facing a pretty fired up team after this one and is getting more in sync as they go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I agree with this, this is about the least disappointed that I ever remember feeling in a Bills loss. Yeah the drop sucked but many of the young players showed real potential to be a part of the team's future. We may have something in Allen, the Dolphins are saddled with a QB whose ceiling is "Meh". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yep, Dolphins may have won, but they had to be eating their hearts out looking across the field at what's coming at them in the future. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I'm sure they'd prefer the other 17 on the field today. With the goal always be winning the Superbowl, Tannehill is not the long term solution there. Obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Dolphins do just well enough this year to keep Gase and Tannehill. Best thing that can happen to the East.

Nick the Greek Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 We have a rook.. jury is still out. Tanihill is looking like a bust, and they may have to start from scratch. Of course the future it currently brighter for us. Give it time tho. Things can change in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Tannehill was taken one pick behind where Allen was selected, and I think Allen has already shown more upside in his career. (that's probably homerism.) Just goes to show how the QB market has no year to year consistency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Tannehill is the same guy he's always been. Right around the 16th-20th best QB in the league at any time. I'm happy with him being in the division as long as they want to keep him. The Dolphins have Andy Dalton syndrome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 That’s too bad that the Miami Press would down Tannehill like that. guy is very meh but he tossed 3 touchdowns today. his first to Parker and third to Stills were probably the best two passes from the pocket all game by either QB.

ColdFront_USAF Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It's cool to see how other teams view our players. Especially rivals. You tend to get more accurate assessments from people that aren't emotionally tied to the player. Good find Yolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I doubt any team or players are concerned about anything but the next opponent cetainly not next season; it’s too risky to think you are guaranteed getting through the next practice without injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're set up for at least 3 more years of Allen which should give us plenty of time to see his development. And by rival I meant divisional opponent. I'm personally hoping Darnold and Allen both develop into good enough quarterbacks to spark a true rivalry (obviously hoping Allen is better) so younger fans like me can get a taste of that Kelly/Marino rivalry that came before our time.

WhoTom Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 One of the announcers mentioned that the Miami GM said that if Josh had been available when they picked, they would have had an interesting decision to make.

IDBillzFan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Watching the highlights again, I gotta say that after the first-down throw from the endzone on 3rd and 12, my favorite play was the run he made early in the game. Kiko Alonso is chasing him. Allen turns in, so Kiko follows him, then Allen turns out, Alonso tries to turn but gets off balance, and Allen pushes him out of the way en route to a first down. I watch a crapload of football, and you just don't see a QB make that kind of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for giving him a chance to prove himself, but it became clear last season that he'd hit his ceiling. I'm happy they let him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
