Hope it works out. I miss the Fish being good. Only thing I don’t like us the smug undefeated 72 squad. Too over the top for me. They are grateful for my team so no biggie. sincerely a giants fan

Sherman the GM was AWFUL…
Sherman the coach is good…

His scheme probably prolonged Favre’s career by about 4 years….

Run The football, max protect…. Dude was hardly sacked …

Well, stlpimp, he was good enough to hang a 112 qb-rating on your garbage team and send you Rams home with a big, fat “L.”

I know, it stings.

This bust is averaging about 200 yards a game and only has 4 td’s vs 6 picks… Whissue these delusional dolphin fans on his jock? if luck or rg3 had a start like this, you would all be complaining… This bust is not the real deal, he was drafted too high, and he won’t even be as good as mark Sanchez ( which is setting the bar low) the fins will. E drafting yet another qb in the next 5 years…. The disfunction wil continue LOL

Says the person whose franchise QB lost to this supposed “bust”

As a Fins fan, I’d like RT to improve under the radar w/o alot of eyes on him.
As for Sherman, he’s an employee of the Fins, and is helping to sell tickets.

Following the post-Marino era of great qb’s such as Jay Fiedler,Ray Lucas,and now Tannehill.As a Jet fan,not worried bout this bowel movement.He may be better that the immigrant we have at qb though.Its Tebow time.

Mike Sherman is a good coach. As for player evaluation just check his draft and
FA record with the Packers. He sucks.

“Ryan Tannehill isn’t just staying composed under pressure, he’s the NFL’s most efficient quarterback under pressure. According to Pro Football Focus, Tannehill has a league-best 86.0 accuracy percentage under pressure and a second-best 62.3 completion percentage under pressure”

Great stat, thank you. Regardless of what is said about Sherman’s past, anyone who is saying Tannehill looks anything less than legit is clearly not watching the games. He looks a LOT better in action than he does on the box score. The only thing that matters long term right now in Miami is finding a franchise QB, and so far it looks like the search is over

He’s already equalled Marino’s tally of Super Bowl rings.

You would have just circled that game…..you guys have been the biggest critics of the phins all year and now you’re interested in that game. Should be blacked out from you guys watching it.

Rookie Tannehill> 4 year “starter” Sanchez. lol

Tannehill has been very solid for a rookie, but rookie of the year? MVP? Working with less or not, there is no way he is better than RG3. Maybe you haven’t seen what RG3 is working with. Bottomline, Tannehill has thrown 4 tds and 6 picks with a 76 rating. In his defense, he has no receivers but let’s not put this guy in the probowl just yet

What a lot of negative comments on here today, from the Dolphin haters. It’s all fans who have crap QB’s I guess?? Well, just get on with it, and we will see where Tannehill is at the end of the season. So far so good. One thing for sure, he looks a lot better than Sanchez and Tebow.

Sighhhh. And with the same pick a year earlier, my Jags end up with Gabbert.

He is much better than I thought he would be but I would like to see him seal the deal in the end instead of having our defense on the field fighting and scraping not to give up a field goal like the previous 3 games.

Ahhhh

Let me feel your hate jets fans…. Good……

Tanne is for real, our coaches are good, and your stuck with Sexy Rexy, Dirty Sanchez, and Teblow…..

Remember the movie Castaway? You know how Tom Hanks’ character looked and felt when he was floating in the ocean he saw the ship pull up to him?

That’s what we feel like down here. We’ve been on a deserted island since 2000. We have been all alone with nothing at QB . We’ve lost 12 years of our lives. “What? New England’s been to how many Super Bowls? Wasn’t their coach the guy from Cleveland? Isn’t their QB Drw Henson’s backup at Michigan?”

Maybe it was a lucky pick by Ireland, but Ryan Tannehill has saved us. He’s good. Real good. Going to be even better. And if your QB is good, in this league, that’s almost all you need.

Going to take time to get used to this.

Umm….

5th or 6th year of a 1st round QB, or a 7th round QB?

Can he give us a list of 1st round QBs that have been at this development level after 1 year and which ones took 5 or 6 to get there?

Off the charts smart? Really? Can I see that chart and your testing methods? How do other players on the team score for smarts? Is Ryan in an elite special category by himself or is it commonplace for Dolphins to be off the charts?”

How about you get a life, since the number of “thumbs down” you’re getting indicates you’re pretty bad at being funny on the internet?

I’m impressed by Tannehill, I thought he’d take a little more time to develop as a QB in the NFL. He looks like Miami’s best QB since Marino retired.

That said Russell Wilson is better so far, I can’t believe Seattle got that steal in the 3rd round. If my Ravens didn’t have Flacco I wish they would have drafted Wilson.

Says the idiot that gave Favre no targets and killed the Pack’s salary cap signing overrated defensive lineman. Sherman shouldn’t be allowed to coach pop warner much less pro.

I was a little skeptical about taking Tannehill in the top 10 of the draft. Then early reports had him stuggling in camp, but he has more than held his own and the future of the Miami Dolphins looks brighter than ever.

Ummm didn’t he run the same plays in College? That’s 75% of the battle, but I give dude credit he’s lookin Better then Sanchez or Fitzgerald

Jets fans getting mad on here cause Tannehill is already better than that scrub Sanchez. Jets suck! Gonna be fun smashing y’all in couple weeks.

“And, of course, that twelfth game will pit Tannehill for the first time against Bill Belichick and the Patriots.”

========================

From what we just saw from Russell Wilson, if Tannehill can throw the ball FAR, he should do just fine against that vaunted Belichick pass defense.

Apparently, in deference to Buddy Ryan’s old “56″ defense, Belichick has developed the new “35″ defense – as in, “stop covering the receiver if he runs more than 35 yards downfield”.

Keep in mind this is the guy who gave in to Brett Favre for his every wish. And even though he was a real good coach he was a horrible GM. Set the Packers back for years.
