YoloinOhio Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I don’t think Tannehill is a “bad” QB and I think the Titans were in a tough spot. But I think he’s a game manager type. Edited March 15, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: And I just think he is a class above the other guys. I put Ryan in the "how the hell didn't he win one?" category that Philip Rivers belongs in. He is a better Quarterback than Flacco, Stafford and Carr and Tannehill isn't even in the same ball park as Ryan. Same reason Garappalo doesn't have one. Kyle Shanahan refuses to run the ball to close out the Superbowl. I agree with you though that he's a step above the players I listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Lol. This contract is insane. Tannehill is not that good. He had some moxie last season but he will never lead them to a championship especially eating up that much cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good but not great starting quarterbacks that keep your team from taking that next step because they need talent around them on both sides of the ball in order to win a Superbowl. Their salary prohibits the team from acquiring that talent. This was a bad move for the Titans. Especially given last year may have been the exception and not the norm as far as Tannehill is concerned. Matt Ryan good not great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan4 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I thought they would go after Brady. Seemed like the best fit for him. Im wondering if he will just stay in New England though, with offseason programs potentially being in jeopardy. It would be tough to switch teams (especially at his age, where time is critical) and not have the offseason programs to get family,air with your new receivers/offense etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him regressing to a level of play similar to his Miami years. Side note: QB money is crazy these days. Can't wait to see what Mahomes ends up getting. Hard to believe he was so bad in Miami they got rid of him, and then he is worth this to Titans.

Foxx Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: So I think this is high for Tanny, but not totally off kilter if you think he is a decent not great QB which Tennessee obviously do. I don't, I think he sucks and had a bit of lightening in a bottle, but if you agree with them and make him the 7th best paid now, he will be at least 10th maybe even lower at the end of this offseason as Mahomes, Prescott and Watson are signed (and maybe Brady and Brees stop taking team friendly deals.... remains to be seen) by the end of next off-season if Mayfield, Allen, Lamar and Darnold are all signed it leaves Tannehill about 15th or 16th highest paid. Not that far off the mark I'd say for what Tennessee think he is.. agreed. all it is going to take is for him to see ghosts one time then it is going to be all downhill from there.

machine gun kelly Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Well the NFLR boys have moved Brady as likely if not back in NE and signs don’t look good, so it’s Tampa or maybe the Raiders. LA would love him, and his wife would probably love LA, but I don’t see him going to a team with such a crappy O Line. I can’t believe these words are coming out of my mouth, but I wouldn’t mind him in Tampa. He could battle for two years against Brees, and Tampa has a lot of weapons and a pretty good line. Their front seven is good, just their RB’s are mediocre, and secondary sucks. The Bills are always my first team, but I have lived here for half my life so once every four years is their a conflict. It would be nice to see Brady play for an NFC team, and maybe even help the Bucs get back to the playoffs. Not as bad as the Bills 17 year drought, but it has been a 12 year drought for them.
