Tannehill's regression

[MikeO]

he guy now has people saying Nick Foles has more upside than he does, and Foles is awful!

He's started 1 game!!!! 

This is why everyone jumps on you. Because you make these blanket statements after a game, half, or a quarter and they are absurd on every level! Like when you proclaimed Jerome Simpson an "elite WR" or when you said Tim Tebow was a Top 10 NFL QB and a one in a million talent. You make these statements based off of almost no sample size and you always end up eating your words and looking like a fool! Saying Nick Foles is awful after he has started just 1 game in his life is a joke! As I say...go back and watch Peyton Manning's rookie year. It was brutal. Beyond brutal. You aren't willing to give anyone any time you just take the anti-Dolphins/Pro-Jets stance on everything to stir the pot around here. It's a stale and old act that now EVERYONE is on too!!

So you're saying you believe Foles is good? Never speak of football again if you believe that. -EK

I don't know if he is good or awful it takes more than 1 start to determine that!!

I could give a shit one way or the other if "everyone jumps" on me. There is a massive world outside of this board and I in no way value my self worth, nor identify myself through either this website, nor the people on it. And what- other than in your delusions- have I ever said that took a "pro-Jets" stance? Hey- you hated Marshall and Henne and even started threads and argued about them with not only myself but other members even after they left- that must make you Anti-Miami and pro-Jet as well. Every time I hear that Taylor Swift song, I wonder if she actually knows you personally:

"And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things"

Yet you are here after EVERY LOSS ragging on the Fins. And never show up after the team wins. You must put some value on this site or else you wouldn't make a decision based on the outcome of game whether you are here or not for that week! And when the team plays well or Tanny plays well you come here  weeks later with ..." I didn't see the game that week so I can't say they were good I didn't see it"

And what- other than in your delusions- have I ever said that took a "pro-Jets" stance?

1) You faught with people here for like 9 months saying Mark Sanchez had a "career year" last year when he had the worst year of his life
2) You said Tim Tebow would fix all of the Jets problems and make them so much better
3) When the Jets drafted Coples you said Miami was going to pay for passing on him and he was going to haunt Miami forever (p.s...he has only 20 tackles in 10 games so far, a whopping 2 tackles per game average)
4) You RIPPED the Dolphins defense last year and PRAISED the Jets when Miami's defense gave up less points overall

I could keep going but we would be here all day. This is why you are FIREMAN EK!! The Jets can do no wrong in you're eyes and the Dolphins can do no right!

You listen to Taylor Swift?!? That explains a lot!

You guys keep believing this mess if you want. Tannehill sucks as a QB. He was not great in college and he's showing how he can't close games now. All season- ALL season- I've been saying he gets too many balls tipped and he absolutely snatches defeat from the jaws of victory in the second half of games. He's done that all year. He is not an upgrade over what we had and his numbers and ability to lose games validates this. So keep believing whatever you want; in three years when Miami is drafting a QB AGAIN, remember that I said this since the preseason. -EK

What about this post did you think wouldn't be thought of as offensive? If I didn't know better I would have thought that Tannehill personally offended you in some way with this post.

I could give a shit one way or the other if "everyone jumps" on me. There is a massive world outside of this board and I in no way value my self worth, nor identify myself through either this website, nor the people on it.

Or how about this one? The people on this forum shouldn't take this personally?

Pappy- why does my opinion bother you so much one way or another? I don't get it. If you disagree, great but you are coming across as if I have personally offended you.

I can ask you the same thing. Why is it SO important for you to be right on this? You haven't just stated your opinion on Tannehill and been done with it, you have CONSTANTLY reminded us at EVERY opportunity your opinion as if we might somehow forget that you weren't on board with the drafting of Tannehill from the start. Like if Tannehill does turn out to be a bust that we will somehow all grant EK the seeker of truth title. I'm sure that if Miami IS looking for another QB in 3 year's time you will be beyond proud of yourself. It's not your opinion of Tannehill that offends me, it's your attitude that "I AM RIGHT and you should all thank me" that offends me.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

With that said, I'll refrain from responding directly to you on this topic again. I don't want it to become a distraction on these forums.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Nope, I'm sure you're quite right with all of that.

Pallet I think you miss my point entirely and I'm sorry if I offended you. Every week, week in and week out, win or lose, there are members of this board who will ferret out the most ridiculous stats to somehow validate that Tannehill is on his way to greatness. I've seen threads started about how he's the 11th best quarterback by one metric or another and threads about how this guy or that guy loves him. It's nonsense and I'm pointing out the other side if the coin. It shouldn't offend anyone if I'm saying something bad about the guy- especially if its true. He's not very good. As often as people are going to post crazy meaningless stats about him, you're going to hear me saying he sucks. He's making the same mistakes he's made in the past, but it's being dismissed as the "rookie wall." Nonsense. If other members here can absolutely destroy Henne and Moore for their play with complete immunity, I will continue pointing out Tannehill's flaws. Where was this righteous indignation for Moore last year or Henne the year before? -EK

Thread is on a cliff and about to go over.  I believe everyone has had their say (a few times).  This one is locked before we all go off the deep end.
