I’ve always liked tanny more than most. He’s actually the floor for Allen imo.  He’s just never had the quality team he might have now in tenn.  they would be a scary team to face with how angry Henry runs 

I’m not sure of any similarities between Tannehill and Allen QB skill sets outside of their ability to run, but Allen has been a far better rusher in the NFL.

Tannehill looks good right now, but as teams get used to the new Titans with him at QB - that team will fall apart.  Tannehill is average and that team is riding the QB change, but we have seen this before with Tannehill - it most likely will not continue in the face of a good defense.

I kind of want Henry to replace Gore next season. The idea of relentlessly hammering teams with him and Singletary makes me something something.

tanny was a decent runner the first few years but he’s been a better passer.   Allen for sure has been a better runner.  They’re both very good athletes playing qb but Ryan ran into injuries.

I think there is merit to this viewpoint.  Or at least, Tannehill isn't nearly as bad as he has been portrayed.

Tanny was never bad! He's an example of how teams grow tired of average/respectable quarterbacking since that no longer wins anyone a Super Bowl or even makes a big playoff run (Nick Foles Eagles run notwithstanding). He was kind of Tyrod Taylor-ish, Kyle Orton-esque in a different way, maybe a Marcus Mariota with more staying power ...

These guys look solid.     Derrick Henry Just busts everyone’s heads open then Tannenhill kills with accuracy and running ability. 

 

Possible playoff opponent ? 


Tannehill is an inconsistent QB.  He can look great one week and then suck the next.  It seems that he’s not trusted anymore in Tennessee than he was in Miami.  But Tennessee has a better running game and defense.  So he’s still all about minimizing mistakes and supporting a good running game

I think he’s very good and the dink and dunk offense.

Tannehill is way better than Mariota. 

 

Mariota was a system QB under Chip at Oregon. I'm surprised he has done this well as a pro. 

Chip recruited him but only coached him in 2012. Helfrich was HC in 2013 and 2014. Same system and I too was surprised he was drafted so high. BTW that Oregon system is really more about the zone read running game than it is about passing game.

I think Miami sucks and Tannenhill is good 

Miami definitely sucks. If his entire career was against the Bills and how he performed against, he wouldn’t be playing right now. Good Tannenhill rarely surfaced against the Bills.

Historically. But he’s 4-1 as a starter and having a career year not on the Dolphins. Could be coincidence but might not be either.

He's looked good for stretches of games in the past.

That definitely looks to be the case so far. He has been playing very well. Has better coaching in Tenn than he has had his whole career. So I'm not surprised he is playing a lot better there than he was in Miami.

I think Tannehill is a decent NFL QB.  He's competent, and if he's given good support, he can give a reasonable impersonation of a top tier QB at times.  He's also a good leader.  The Titans' philosophy of a strong defense and running offense suits him perfectly by taking a lot of the pressure off him.  The Titans have always been a pretty good team, but they could never get better than mediocre with Mariota providing uninspiring leadership along with uninspiring QBing.

Tannehill is a good QB. He is accurate and doesn’t turn the ball over much. He doesn’t dominate the game, but he won’t lose many games via turnovers. It’s much the same formula we used the first 9 games. That said when the team needs big plays & big throws Tannehill can do that but hasn’t done so consistently where he scares you. Is that good enough to win the AFC South? Sure. Is it good enough to beat the Ravens or Patriots? Maybe one of them, but I don’t see him pulling a Nick Foles & running the table. I believe the Titans will be the #6 Wild Card team & the Colts or Texans win the division.

Then we could only meet them in the AFC title game at New Era.....sounds like a plan to me!

Wet dream.  Is he a FA?  I'm usually against spending money on FA running backs, but maybe he won't demand a big contract
