Bull. And since I was expecting that bull from either you or Run, I very specifically wrote "demanding and expecting those around him work as hard as he does".

That you went ahead with the bull anyway just proves the point that you're full of it.

More paranoia.... Cheesy

No. You clearly have an agenda. You come in and try to sound analytical, but you've been cherry-picking, ignoring anything that doesn't suit your preconceptions. This is just another one of those situations. I clearly state that Tannehill should demand that those around him work as hard as he does. You even ADMIT that Tannehill's effort and work ethic is great. Yet you still come out with a bunch of bull about, attacking a straw man (instead of what I actually said).

The normal term for that is a troll.

You may be one of the more eloquent trolls, but the smell is certainly strong.

I wouldn't say he is selfless considering the whole practice squad thing. Tannehill is the frat boy who has had everything on s silver spoon his whole life.

I know this is your usual Tannehill trolling, but this is certainly one area where he needs to step up. Not necessarily rah rah rah, but leadership by demanding and expecting that those around him work as hard as he does -- and tries as hard as he does. Fortunately, his chemistry with the two young receivers looks like it's great and that will go  a long ways. Now it's mainly the oline...
I started to see a glimmer of this towards the end of the year. He was getting sacked and getting pissed at his o line about it.  I'm pissed he hasn't been more of a leader yet, but I think he has the potential to be one moving forward. He has next year to prove it. If he can't show he's the real deal, then see ya later Ryan Tannehill.

The Gase contract was constructed such that Ryan Tannehill may not be the only first-round quarterback he's coaching for the Miami Dolphins.

And anybody who watched the end of that Cardinals/Packers game yesterday -- and who isn't wearing rose-colored glasses -- has to be wondering whether Ryan Tannehill could possibly help this team be highly competitive deep into the playoffs.  That game consisted of winning plays from the quarterback position, involving escaping pressure with movement and making throws downfield, the types of plays Tannehill has been very, very rarely capable of.

I agree.  Let's change that one to "questionable," rather than "check."

Believe me- I'm the last one to start talking up RT, but in the interest of accuracy, wasn't that "whole practice squad thing," squashed as being basically made up and untrue? If you're hanging your hat on that to evaluate his selflessness, it's a pretty weak stance.

Are you referring to when the QB of the winning team, in the 4th quarter:

- threw an interception in the end zone
- threw ANOTHER red zone pass directly to a DB (that was dropped)
- threw a third pass that was deflected by a DB and was miraculously caught by a WR in a sea of DBs for the go-ahead TD

And then, in OT, threw a 15-yard out that was taken 60 extra yards by his receiver, followed by handing the ball off to the same receiver for a GW rushing TD?

Rodgers played great... and lost.  Palmer played like garbage at "the end of that Cardinals/Packers game," and his team won in spite of him.

The incident actually did happen, and the comment about the practice squad trophy was said. The only untrue thing that was reported was his comments on the practice squad players' checks.

Rodgers played great... and lost.  Palmer played like garbage at "the end of that Cardinals/Packers game," and his team won in spite of him.

The most impactful plays from the time the Packers were down 20-13 on 4th and 20 from their own end zone were made by quarterbacks (both Rodgers and Palmer) who evaded pressure with movement and hit receivers downfield.

Again, those kinds of plays are very, very rarely made by Ryan Tannehill.  He far more often succumbs to pressure, rather than evading it with movement and making a play in the face of it.

And that's a problem, because those are the plays that are needed from the quarterback position in the NFL -- when things break down and the QB is still able to make something of it.  Tannehill needs everything to unfold "from script."

I just don't get why you make such an important decision so quickly.

Proves my point that you can't measure quarterbacks by a team stat.

What about the drive that put ARI up 20-13 in the first place?
What about the drive before that in which Palmer threw an INT in the GB end zone?

Larry Fitzgerald was 15 yards from the line of scrimmage.  If that counts as "throwing downfield" then I'm sure I can find plenty of examples of Tannehill scrambling and "throwing downfield."

So is it your position that Tannehill's ability to evade pressure with movement and make plays under those conditions is exceptionally good?
