Yes. And The Titans made Tannehill one of the highest paid as well.

The running game faltered becuase the Chiefs had a great run defense as well as a great offense .
And Tannehill still scored on them. His defense collapsed in the 4th Qtr.
No the Oline and defense collapsed.
PROOF is that he stepped on that team after you said he would "ride the Pine " for the rest of his career and did what #1 draft pick Miriota couldnt. With the same team.
Let's get our defense up to snuff so that doesnt happen to TUA.
Marino had Don Shula. Didnt get him to the game but helped keep him competitive. Its another reason Tanny took off like a Rocket as soon as he left here. I think Flores will be a difference maker here.
The wet firecracka took of like a rocket because he had an allpro oline and pound for pound the best running back in football.
And what happened when the chiefs stopped the running game. Tannehill couldnt take his team up another level like a great qb does...why? Because he is not very good.
Tannehill averaged 4000 yards ayear with phins in garbage time. When phins already lost games and defense played 10 yards off a receiver. He got his yards in trash time.alert me when he wins a superbowl.

If thats all it took wouldnt the Jets or the Bills be in the Superbowl? What about Miami? 20 yrs........We had Ricky @#$%& Williams. 2000 yds and we still didnt make the playoffs. Stop it.
Tannehill was a great Athlete, Just like I said over and over. And if Tua is gonna be great hes gonna need the same All Pro RB and Oline just like Patrick Mahomes does.

Did you watch the game?Dont think you did. You were too busy consumed with the draft . 4th Qtr. It was all Mahomes. DEFENSE gave it up.
We better be able to stop Mahomes or no matter who our QB is the 500 million $$$ man will bend us over. That's why I'm excited about the backfield and possibly having the best CB tandom in the game.
As far as Tanny goes.....he didn't ride that Pine long did he? That wet firecracker blew up gloriously.....just as I said he would. Drives you crazy.....how wrong you constantly are, year after year.player after player. I hope you do better at the Casinos? Lol....becuase you are 1 wrong MFer. You almost make it a science. You dont even talk a good game anymore. Qb this QB that....no facts, you out right make it up as you go along.
Tanny is a Pro bowler now. Deal with it. Admit it and move on.Its a fact.
And i guarantee you his team will win a superbowl not because of him. But because of the running game and dsfense and he will still play like he played here. Like crap.
OL is really the #1 thing I'm hoping proves out over the first 1/2 of the season. As bad as it was last year, I'm hoping that it could be graded as top 20 by the mid-point and top half by the end of the year. Truthfully, I think we have the talent (much of it raw) for it to be top 10 by the end of the year...but I don't hold out a lot of hope that in this very different year we'll see the talent develop and the unit gel as well as we might in a normal year.
Outside of Tua's health and individual readiness, this is the most important decision factor, in my opinion, for putting him on the field. If our OL performs anything like it did for the first +/-10 games of last year, then I would not want Tua behind it. If it's performing at about top 20 by mid-season and steadily (if only incrementally) improving, I think it's reasonable to put a rookie QB behind such a line and expect him to learn - taking lumps for sure, but not caught in an avalanche.
I don't think I'd be heartbroken if he doesn't play at all this year, as that approach certainly seems to have worked for Mahomes recently. I think I inadvertently strayed from my main point of definitely not wanting him to play in 2020 behind an awful OL.
Much like I was leading up to the draft with him (not that my opinion matters to anyone official) I'm very open to seeing how things play out overall with respect to coaches' decision for him to play or sit.
I dont want TUA to start mainly because I want to see Fitz behind a solid Oline with a decent ground game. I thought he played exceptional last season.

Sorry Sam, no matter how much you hate Tannehill, you still have to give him credit for his accomplishments while with Miami: 16 career 300-yard passing games, which is the second-most in Dolphins history; he engineered 14 career fourth-quarter comebacks; started 88 games over six seasons, accumulating 20,434 passing yards and 123 touchdown passes;rushed for 1,210 yards and 6 scores; Passed for at least 3,000 yards four times and more than 4,000 yards twice; in 2015, set a then NFL record with 25 consecutive completions; 2014 he had a passer rating of 92.8, while also posting 392 completions, which were the most in Dolphins history.
Bottom line: Sam, he wasn't as bad as you are making him out to be.
