Ryan Tannehill
11318 replies
He played second half of the game last Week, put zero points on the board, sacked often and threw a pick, seems like the same old Tannehill.
lateral move at best, they will be looking to draft a quarterback soon.
titans have had two top 10 draft picks at quarterbacks in the last 8 years, Mariota and Locker. And they may be seeing their third one real soon.
I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. He actually didn't do bad in last weeks game. He moved them into scoring position a couple of times and the interception was on 4th and 11 just trying to make a play in desperation time.
I think the offensive line is going to be an Achilles heel for him there, just as it was here. But they have a pretty good defense. If he can muster even an avg QB showing they might be able to win some games and be playing some meaningful games deep into the season. at 2 and 4 they are probably not winning the division, but wildcard might be within reach.

That's nothing new for Tannehill.
He's made his living in non-clutch situations and/or against poorer pass defenses, which never augured well for success in the playoffs.
Hmmm, so based on 3 out of the 4 posts in this thread, I suppose we're going to get our first win?

I actually followed a bit of that game once he got in there. Yes....Absolutely, same old Ryan Tannehill. Looked brilliant and poised at times like a great QB should, and then would take a sack and fold under the pressure. He'd lose that pocket presence, and then on a 4th and 11 that a great QB can sometimes convert, he threw a pick. Still....I hope he does well for them if given further opportunity. I'm never going to not root for the guy.

And the 4th down was the clutch situation, where he failed, embedded in the garbage time, where he succeeded in general. Same old pattern.

I'm telling ya, stay away from those Oregon QB's. Something is just lacking with those guys. And yes I'm talking about Herbert.

Well tannehill has had past success against the chargers and the chargers showed me they cant tackle .. so who knows..
Makes you want to consider the value in tanking for a QB.
Of course with fans, their jobs are not on the line and they can blame everyone but themselves when a selection doesn't pan out.
It will be interesting to see how he performed when the season is over. Especially when you consider where we are with our QB's and who or whom we pick in the draft. It will then be interesting to see how well we perform with whoever ends up playing QB in 2020 and 2021for Miami.
Got Mariota way wrong coming out of the draft..
Got Tannehill way right..

At this point I think he's better than Mariota but he'll never be the guy.

Next test is Darnold. That's one we disagree on (I think he's at best average, same as Mariota, while you think he could be way better).
btw.. it's pretty rare for a QB to end up "great" so even guys who are above average at talent eval will get more wrong than right with QB's. Worth remembering that it's not the percentage of your hits and misses in a vacuum that counts.. have to always compare to others.

I hear you but I want to see if that pattern continues now that he is away from this team and its less then stellar record of putting people in positions to succeed. I never thought Tanny was elite, but I still believe he is good/above average QB. IF Titans ask him to just do his part they might find some success with him. Of course at this point its more of a curiosity, if he isn't going to help my team win then there isn't a ton of value in him lighting it up now.

In my opinion the only way Tannehill stands a chance of making any noise in the playoffs is if he’s on a team that’s asking him to do very little offensively and he can therefore play an Alex Smith-type game, and that’s accompanied by one of the best if not the best pass defenses in the league. Only then is he going to be able to compete with the elite quarterbacks he would face in the playoffs.
You might get some elevated play out of him during the regular season amidst some better surroundings, but that isn’t going to mean shit come playoff time unless these other factors are present. He’s not going to go out there in the playoffs and outduel Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes unless his own pass defense can shut them down.

I was a Tannehill supporter for a long time before I soured on him towards the end of his tenure here. This post is spot on as far as I'm concerned. He can hold his own and be competent IF the pieces around him fit perfectly.
So on one side of the fence there's a Ryan Tannehill thread...and on the other side of the fence there's a Kyler Murray thread.

And unfortunately the likelihood of assembling those pieces is fairly low, which is why Super Bowls in this era are almost never won by average QBs.

Eli Manning won 2
Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Right, and Joe Flacco, Trent Dilfer, and Brad Johnson each won one.
The rest of the past 25 -- or 80% of them -- have been won by Hall of Famers.

And a bunch were won by the same QB. You make it sound worse than it actually is. It's not like there's 25 other QBs. Brady has how many of the past 25? LOL
