Bye Tannehill

Playoff stats then.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if anything ever comes of it. So far, both have an AFCCG loss and both have a divisional loss. THill also has a WC loss.

To be clear (it was a few pages back) I’m not saying THill is better than Allen or even remotely in the “elite” category.
I’m stating Allen is not “elite”.

 

Odd timing to post this seeing the show Josh Allen put on today.

 

The timing of the conversation is because of the game (and the rest of the divisional games), it didn’t start until the game was almost over.

My point is that people may (not all by a long shot) take a monster game like today and put him in a category that I don’t think he belongs in.
For example we can side by side his game this year vs last year in the post season against KC

20: 28/48 287 2/1, 88 rush yds and sacked 4x
21: 21/25 305 5/0, 66 rush yards.

Huge improvement, I’d have to look into the KC Defense differences but does today’s game make him elite if someone thought he wasn’t before hand?

I don’t think it does, but that’s me and I’ve also explained I think elite gets overused all the time.

Edit: this was written before today but points out some of the best individual playoff performances for QBs in the QBR era. Some are not even considered good QBs, so I’m just not sold because of 1 game performance.

Ranking top 10 QB playoff performances of QBR era: Nick Foles cracks top five

 

KC Defense this year.
8 in points allowed
27 in yards allowed
27 yards in passing yards allowed
24 in FD allowed
31 in rushing YPA but 6 in att

Bills this year
1 in PPG allowed
1 in yards allowed
1 in passing yards allowed
1 in FD allowed

If anything, todays game proved that Mahomes belongs in the elite conversation.

 

No not at all. Some of us are saying having a signal caller that good isn’t required to win.

 

Jimmy Garoppolo for the affordable route or Russell Wilson if ready to invest in an actual upgrade.

 

We’ll get neither. Tammy better than Jimmy anyhoo! We cannot get out of Tammy’s contract! It’s just not possible.

 

Yeah, I see a lot of “go get Wilson” posts… with out an explanation of how they’d actually acquire him.

I feel like logically you just have to hope he improves. Rodgers isn’t coming in and signing an extremely cheap contact. Trading for Wilson would take more than draft picks. They’d want proven talent.

I’d like to see Tannehill with an actual offensive coordinator with a strategy other than hand it to he dry, play action to brown across the middle, or screen to the wr if AJ needs a breather and we want to throw. It’s literally a three - four play system. (Don’t get me wrong, love the handing to Henry).

Im not going to pretend finding a good OC will be easy either, but you have to try someone else. Henry can’t last with the amount of carries he was going to have, and just have to find some creative passing plays (although why we don’t go deep with AJ more blows my mind).

Long story short, everyone wants the shiny new toy but doesn’t want to provide a realistic way to get said shiny toy. I’d rather keep our team in tact (meaning not trading proven talent for Wilson) if we can get a new OC and just see what the offense can do. Im sure I’ll be in the minority here but I feel it’s the most realistic option, because I just don’t see a way to go get Wilson/Rodgers etc.

 

You're in the minority because most here are acting like the NFL is Madden on Xbox and you can just dump and pick up QBs at will.

The only option IS Tannehill.

Plus, I don't think Wilson or Rodgers or Brady or any other pipe dream QB will be playing for another team next year. And I KNOW they won't be playing in TN.

 

RT,s playoff performance in the biggest games have shown that he can't get it done. Home playoff game, throwing the ball late, not checking out of certain plays is reason enough to be benched. Stop looking at regular season body of work!
