What a jackass...
Kelly: Here's proof Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill performs better in a clean pocket
... quarterback Ryan Tannehill's raw statistics during that period can't be ignored. In those seven games over the past two seasons Tannehill, who has been the most sacked quarterback in the NFL during his four-year run as a starter, produced an impressive 107.0 passer rating.
During those seven games Tannehill clearly benefited from a cleaner pocket, and the Dolphins run game was more consistent, averaged 147.3 rushing yards and scoring six rushing touchdowns in those seven contests.
That explains why the Dolphins averaged 30.5 points in those games, which were against three teams that made it to the playoffs those seasons.
Tannehill completed 70 percent of his passes in those seven games. He averaged 254 passing yards, threw 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He was sacked 17 times in those seven games, which averages out to 2.43 sacks per contest, which is better than his 2.87 sacks per game career average.
Now, it should be pointed out that every NFL teams faces injuries, and few teams have benefited from a completely healthy offensive line for an entire season. So expecting things to be perfect is nothing but a fairytale.
Yeah, NS... ALL QBs benefit from either a clean pocket, or just A pocket that doesn't implode in under 3 seconds, much less having quality OLmen - as do running backs. Tannehill doesn't need a fairytale, nor elite linemen - he just needs starting quality OLmen for an average OL.
Perfect? How about just NOT a Mongolian Cluster fook on the OL?
