Tannenbaum to Sanchez us?

Build around Tannehill in any way and this team is doomed. Adam Gase for HC? Because he helped resurrect the career of Jay Cutler? This thinking is disastrous. Tannehill isn't, wasn't and won't be. Any path that is geared toward this team riding on the back of our current QB will certainly slip on the Bananapeel. The new Head Coach must be chosen with total disregard for RT as should the OC. RT has been babied since day one and our record shows it. He's been playing in the same offense since college and has continued to become so predictably bad, he's getting owned on a regular basis by Miko Grimes. As a matter of fact, it wasn't until Johnny Manziel ran the same exact offense at the same school one year later that we actually got to see how it actually works successfully. It's time to scrap this ineffective, college offense, build an elite offensive line and let Tannehill compete for the job. The fastest way to completing the successful rebuild in Miami is to do it without #17 in mind.

I don't disagree, but...Who is a better option RIGHT NOW for next year? Don't say draft someone, give me a name where you are drafting and why they are better. Or give me a free agent, how much you are paying and what are you doing with RT's contract. I personally don't believe there is a sure fire franchise QB in this draft. The 2017 draft will be much better for QB's. Love him, like him, or hate him RT is the QB through at least 2016 and probably 2017. There are a couple of QB's I would take a flyer on in the mid to late rounds and see if a real QB coach can develop them.

As far as Gase goes what I like about him is he doesn't seem to force the players to play his system, but can mold his system to his players. It looks like McCoy is going to be fired in SD and I would be all over reuniting them in Miami with Gase as the HC and McCoy as the OC.

I just read where it looks like the Chargers are leaning more towards bringing McCoy back...

[ONole1]

They should, he's a good coach. SD has a similar problem to Miami...no depth

[cuchulainn]

Agree on McCoy. Really wished Ross had let Ireland hire him back in the day.

[Phinatic514]

This isn't even funny. If this happens, I'm done with this team after 20+ years.

[VAIDER5120]

David Garrard was named starter and got injured. RT BEAT out Matt Moore for the starting job. Mike Sherman ran a pro style O at Texas A&M with RT and Kevin Sumlin ran a no huddle air raid scheme with Manziel. Two completely different schemes. So NO Manziel did NOT run Shermans pro WCO scheme successfully the next year.

[cuchulainn]

Don't interrupt a silly rant with anything factual now. I've lost count of the QBs we should've drafted each season since 2012 per Kelly. I think last year it was the kid who is the 3rd stringer for the stej now.

[DolphinsFreak]

I have to admit that I am worried about Tannenbaum sticking with Tannehill longer then he should, much like he did with Sanchez. In this business you have to leave your ego at the door and admit when you blew it on a draft pick.

[Alpha]

What did Tannenbaum have to do with Tannehill being drafted?

[DolphinsFreak]

Tannenbaum had nothing to do with the drafting of Tannehill. We both know that. What I am referring to is how he sticks to the WRONG players, especially at the QB position.

[Idahomer]

Vaider please don't let facts get in the way of a Tannehill beat down. Lol

[kelbail2.2]

I'll stand corrected. Tannehill did take a lot more snaps from under center but he also ran a lot of the same single back, read option play action where he was basically left with just his five offensive lineman left to protect him. Manziel was almost exclusively in the single back spread formation where he only had his five offensive lineman to protect him. Manziel had a much greater feel for pressure, use of athleticism, ability to locate receivers on the move, ability to throw accurately on the run and presence of mind to always know the down and distance and have the smarts and courage to at least attempt to get his team the necessary yardage. Tannehill just doesn't have the natural instincts, feel for the game and radar scanner to be a championship caliber Quarterback in this league and trying to make him a passer out of that formation was never going to succeed. I'm not saying hang the guy. Let's just bring in a coach that uses the run game to create play action that actually slows or redirects defenders then relies on the Quarterback to find open space to scan the field and locate the open receivers. I have no doubt Tannehill will be here next year. And he should compete for the job. The best way I've heard it worded was to not hitch our wagon to Tannehill the way Tannenbaum did with Sanchez. Make the Quarterback live up to the potential of the weapons around him.
