Will tannehill be greatest titans qb EVER

It's sad how little this requires.

 

Ive always liked Tanny, thank God we got him

 

You realize with the rest of the quote, that I specifically stated him needing more time before this can really be judged. Tons of players throughout history had 1-2 seasons, no matter how great, and were never considered greatest anything.

He’s playing lights out. Love to see him continue, but even with current production, he’s not better nor can I say he’s going to be better than Moon. If something were to happen today, people will argue history that McNair was better.

 

yeah, i got that. it's a question about an unknown future base on what you see/believe/feel now.

Obviously no one has enough info to KNOW- that was the whole point of the survey, and what made it interesting. i.e., based on what you've seen, what do you think? Will he (in time)?

 

He has all the tools- smart, strong arm, pin point accuracy, great on the run, durable..... If he stays healthy, he'll be like alot of QBs in their late 30s. Drew Brees had his highest 5 year average from age 36-41. THill has quite a bit of tread left in his tires. He's also got a frame to handle it and takes great care of himself.

 

Then easy no.

As pointed out, he’s already got a later start based on age.
His production is through the roof and despite the league being easier for QBs today than it was for Moon, I still expect law of averages to lower THills general production.
this is not to say he will become terrible or even average, he is just producing at such a high level, it’s unrealistic to expect that forever.

 

Better than Moon? No, not until he leads this franchise to the playoffs for 7 straight seasons.

Better than McNair? No, not until he leads this franchise to a Super Bowl.

And he'll have to WIN that Super Bowl to be better than either.

(and this is coming from someone who thinks he's great...)

 

Yeah, it’s probably not going to happen lest he win the superbowl, or lose a couole of them.

 

history of this franchise / the QB position runs 8 deep

1- Moon
2- McNair
3- Blanda
4- Tannehill
5- Pastorini
6- Young
7- Mariota
8- Collins
After Collins it’s a stretch to fill out the final 2 - hodgepodge of meh
9- Volek
10- Hasselbeck

 

Ahem.
Rusty f’n Smith
