Just look at the last 4 teams remaining in the playoffs. Pitts, New England, The Packers and Atlanta.

Agreed but look how long it took Ryan to be a top qb. I'm all for using a 3rd or 4th every couple of years on a QB. Competition is good but the thing that sticks out with the 4 is continuity.

Ryan had new coords forever until dan quinn was hired. He's playing in the same system for the second straight year and it shows.

Tanne made strides this year. Hopefully next year it's astronomical like Ryan's this year. If not, that's why you continually draft QBs.

I saw the "Subject" of this topic and didn't even have to check to see who the author was.

Anyway, I agree with jsm08 and others on this board that there should be no restrictions on Miami drafting a QB every year, but not in the first three rounds, unless a superstar somehow slips to them.

The 2017 draft I would definitely take a QB as there are no guarantees if RT's knee is going to hold up or if he will be able to move around on it.

Insurance.

What that means, Sam, is that when there is any conversation concerning QBs, you are always there, always looking to replace RT.

I have agreed that if there is a Marino sitting there when Miami picks, no doubt about it, pick him! But, although RT is, at times, inconsistent (as is every damn QB in the league, even the super stars), he is a guy who has had good seasons since he has been the starting QB. RT is not a Marino, and never will be; he is a guy that needs a good supporting cast. Once he has that, he can get the job done. Gase got the HC job, and Ryan greatly improved his game.

BTW, as great as Marino was, the Dolphins made it to one Super Bowl, and that period of time was with one of the greatest coaches of all time at the helm.

So until the next Marino comes along, RT is Miami's QB.

Yes but we were in the playoffs almost every year and made it to the superbowl once and were in the AFC Championship more than once with marino.

Thats all iam asking of tannehill.

All iam asking is for a chance in the playoffs.

Unfortunately tannehill does not have the ability marino had.

Also the comparison of Tannehill to Marino presents a false....moreso a fallacious....equivalency.

Marino failed to win SuperBowl DESPITE his overwhelming talent. If anything Tannehill getting sacked during games killing numerous drives and his failure on long balls except toward the end of the season, basically kept us out of the SuperBowl and sometimes even the playoffs. Yes, one can complain about our less than perfect offensive line but remember at times during his tenure that line contained greats such as Pouncey and Long and Branden Albert Richie Igcognito. As for a running game, we now have Ajayi but also had Lamar Miller.

If you're going to compare Marino and Tanny, also remember Marino's success began immediately. We did not have to wait for him to mature.

I know you're not saying Tanny IS Marino or even is as good as but you do seem to be saying that Tanny has excuses in terms of a deficiency in his team that Marino didn't have.

Not true. Marino had no defenses. He just had to outscore every other opponent

He didn't have Griese's Hall of Fame offensive AND defensive lines.

Marino did it all.

If you want to make that excuse comparison in Quarterback performances you should have used Griese and said that Tannehill did not have Griese's type of team behind him. Marino was a bad, bad, bad example because with the exception of his receivers, he basically did it all by himself.

I'd still like to see more of Doughty. I hope he makes it though the off season and gets a chance to develop.

With our absolutely brutal schedule next season it may not matter who our QB is...Marino himself may not be good enough. Without a very strong team, being able to keep our F/A players, very good luck with injuries and a few key bounces going our way. We may not have a chance at the record we all enjoyed this season.

Chryen, not sure if you read my post or you just commented on what Sam reposted, but I was not comparing Marino and RT.

I also am well aware of what Marino had or did not have and am also aware he did much of it himself and was a gifted QB.
