Looks like he is progressing to me. I don't see how you can argue that he sucks, especially if he continues to get better year after year.
Getting "better" does not preclude a player from sucking. If a player is the 28th worst at his position one year, 26th the next, then 25th, he's progressed, but he still sucks!
@Pappy- it's interesting that you mention seeing "the good and the bad," since NO ONE in these threads seems to want admit there is any bad. That's such BS, since looking through the game threads gives a much harsher critique of Tannehill. How soon people forget that he actually isn't as great as he's made out to be. From the last two game threads- games Miami WON:
"Tanny has a problem throwing deep balls no matter who the receiver is! Hartline had his guy beat and Tanny under threw him too!"
"Gotta be honest, I am starting to see what you guys say about Tanny's accuracy throwing deep. He missed an easy TD before by throwing it out of bounds and on that 4th and 1 play Hartline had the corner beat. He needs better accuracy and needs to know that throwing it away is better than taking a sack."
"That was all on Tanny, terrible throw."
"That 4th and goal shows exactly what I'm talking about... great time for a stretch with Miller but a bad throw by Tanny!"
"Tannehill was pretty good, although he did have a couple of really loose throws early, ate a sack and copped some hits by simply hanging on to the ball too long - you can't blame the O-line for that."
"Back to back bonehead plays for Tanny. Gave the hand off to RB after he fell down, then led Polamu to the INT with his eyes."
"I have seen lovers make less eye contact during sex than Tanny and Polamalu on that pass. Indefensible."
"Thank goodness for Clay and Hartline! Doesn't look like Tanny will ever learn to throw deep to Wallace... pretty much a bad signing! Wallace is not a go up at Highest point and catch receiver... he's a run by everyone run under it guy. Tanny somehow can't seem to figure that out... he keeps under throwing."
So, when the game is actually on and people are watching it, the truth seems to come out a lot more clearly. These are not Panthers fans- these are the fans of this board and Miami. But somehow, a few days go by, and everyone else forgets that the guy is crap frequently. Apparently I'm the only one who recalls it and mentions it... Until Sunday, when he does the same thing and everyone will bitch about it again, only to mysteriously forget he sucked again by Tuesday. -EK
