To keep Tanny or NOT?

I hope not. I’m loving what Tanny is able to do here but let’s not forget who he is. He will end up costing us a game from poor decision making. I hope we can sign him to a 2-3 year deal with a way out after one. Then draft a qb in the first. Let him sit and learn. If all goes well, we end up having the Chiefs/Smith/Mahomes dilemma.

 

Lol exactly what I was thinking. Chiraq, lol.

 

Tannehill's issue over his career hasn't really been decision making. The issue is more that he's been super vanilla. Despite being top 10 in the league in pass attempts almost every season, his yards per attempt were always bottom half of the league. Dan Le Batard actually has a funny sound bite about this and Tannehill's "15 play drives that take 10 minutes off the clock and end up in a 45 yard punt."

Now may be that's more a problem with Miami's play calling, but Tannehill has mostly just been a game manager up until this year. This year however, he's leading the league in YPA.

 

To give you a good idea on how good Tanne has been, here are his current rate stats extrapolated over a full 16 game season:

5000+ yards
38 TDs
14 Ints


Now he's super unlikely to maintain this pace. But don't sell him short on just how good he has been since taking over for Mariota.

 

If we sign tanne it will be for at least 4 years and we won't be drafting his replacement yet. People in here still thinking we will get this guy cheap and short term and it's just not gonna happen

 

For the bolded part to be trued he'd need to be averaging over 300 yards per game. Pretty sure he isn't doing that.

 

Hes on pace for 4,328 over 16 games.

 

Which is exactly what the OP said. But that is the pace he is on, which is impressive and the point of the post.

 

??

Hes either on pace for 5,000 or he isnt. I said he isnt, you agreed, but then said thats the pace hes on for.
