By Dr. Bruce Banner
So Hulk watch another disappointing loss and Hulk not even get angry. Hulk just sit there and think what can Hulk write about this week? Another poor job by offensive line. Another poor job of watching defense let opposing team convert 3rd and long after and 3rd and long. Another piece about whether Tannehill is good or bad? Hulk say enough of all this. Hulk want to start looking to the future so Hulk write about 5 possible head coaching candidates and whether or not they good fit for this failing team.
So before Hulk think about head coaches for next year Hulk think what criteria or credentials should the coaching candidates have before team consider hiring them. This is what Hulk think: Whoever the next head coach is must be somebody that has track record of working and developing young QBs. Hulk say regardless of whether or not you believe Tannehill is the quarterback of the future or if the Phins should draft a guy like Lynch, Goff or Cook we are going to need someone who can work with and develop a young quarterback. However, whoever the next head coach is must also be somebody that has skill and knowledge in building a defense. I know this sound like polar opposite but when you look at team there will be almost complete rebuild of defense. On the line Vernon is likely gone. Wake is aging and coming back from major injury. There needs to be a serious infusion of talent at linebacker and we only have one defense back that is any good. With this in mind Hulk look at some names being mentioned for head coach.
Hue Jackson: He has an excellent track record with quarterbacks. He salvaged Carson Palmer’s career when he traded for him as head coach of the Raiders. He now turn around career of Andy Dalton who after last season many Bengal fans were ready to run out of town. Dalton have fine year and now Bengal fans be worried that he no be healthy for playoffs. Oh, the irony. Yes, Hulk like irony. However, there are drawbacks. Jackson have no real defensive experience. He will have to rely on a good defensive coordinator hire. He had only 1 year of head coaching experience with Raiders and did alright taking the team to an 8-8 finish and then was summarily fired by old Al Davis who may or may not have been dead by that time.
Darrell Bevell: He too has done excellent job in developing a young quarterback in Russell Wilson. He has taken Wilson from game manager to game breaker. You can see his development this year given all the injuries to Seahawk running backs. Wilson is now focus of offense and he now on fire as team heads into playoffs. Hulk like being on fire. Bevell also know how to run ball, especially with power back. He would be good fit with Ajayai. But there are drawbacks with Bevell as well. He would be 1st time head coach and there will be a learning curve. He too no really have any experience in running a defense except for seeing a good one every day in practice. Also there was horrible play call at end of Superbowl. How much that have Bevell’s fingerprints on it Hulk no know but it smacks of a Lazor play call being too cute when no have to be.
Chuck Pagano: He likely not back as Colts head coach. He has developed young quarterback in Andrew Luck and made Colts instant playoff team. He also is former defensive coordinator and certainly no stranger to building a defense. So what not to like? Well there is fact that he no get along with dysfunctional owner and front office. Many accuse Miami having dysfunctional owner and front office. Not sure Pagano will be good fit with current front office structure. Also, Pagano’s Colts have struggled mightily against Pats, especially in playoffs.
Mike Smith: He too like Pagano has developed a young quarterback who has turned franchise into instant playoff team. He too like Pagano was a former defensive coordinator and no stranger to building a defense. So again what not to like? Well there is Smith’s playoff record which is full of one and dones in the playoffs. He also went from a head coach who built a balance offense to a head coach who came to rely too heavily on passing game by end of his tenure in Atlanta. Also for being such a good defense mind he never really turned Falcons into good defense team. Falcons won because of offense with defense being constant problem.
Josh McDaniels: He is considered offensive guru. He coach under the almighty Bill Billecheat. He coach Tom Brady. He has coached a team to playoffs including beating good Steelers team in playoffs. He is supposedly on everyone’s short list for head coaching candidates and will be able to pick and choose where he want to go. So what not to like? Well for such an offensive guru he invested a 1st round draft choice in some guy named Tebow. This make Hulk think he no know his backside from his elbow about quarterbacks. He also have stink of Patriots on him. He too like Pagano had stormy relationship with front office and owner and may not be good fit for current structure of Miami front office.
Hulk know there are and will be other names for head coaching candidates such as Sean Payton and John Harbaugh. Hulk did not consider them as Hulk think they unlikely to be Phin’s coach next year. But Hulk sure there are many other names out there that are likely to be considered but Hulk think the 5 listed above are the most likely candidates. What you guys think?
Post Script (Yes Hulk know fancy literary term): Breaking news from Philadelphia; Hulk now know what would make him angry – Hiring this guy:
Finsmob Unleashed 
I don’t get into the coaching search too much!
Just pick one and we will try it out for 3 years then flush everything again!
But everyone wanting to Flush Hickey has got me puzzled?
His drafts have been pretty good as far as I can see! Anyone disagree?
He finally gets to pick his HC and have a say in the OC and DC.
Let’s see what brand of football he comes up with!
What the fuck is 3 more years anyway?
I too think he has drafted well, but he’s gone with this coaching staff.
I kind of said the same thing yesterday. I am in favor of this approach.
As far as Tannehill and his stats go, how many of his stats have been piled up when the game was already decided? I can think of at least 5 games where we have gotten the shit kicked out of us (not just the defenses fault) , and I’m curious as to what his stats were when the game was out of reach.
I would love to see his stats in the 1st Qtr
I know our team was hopelessly outscored then
I’m guessing his stats are not very good int he 1st qtr as well
I know they suck because we have gotten off to notoriously bad starts in most of our games. This combined with the poor play on D put us in big holes that we were unlikely to dig out of.
He throws more than anyone else but does less with it and is a lot less efficient
Piggy, I know you are using hyperbole but this is statistically not true. 21% of the starting QB’s in the league had more passing attempts than him…..
Now that I have “attacked” a false stat let me just say again, Tannehill’s play this year did not reach our expectations and was disappointing to say the least but he was not as bad as you are making out.
“but go ahead and act like I’m the foolish for believing that a new coach won’t want to go in a different direction at QB instead of rescuing Ryan Tannehill from the depths of being completely below average at almost everything he does”
– I never said the new coach would not want to go another direction. That is impossible to say as we don’t know who that new coach will be or what he thinks. Again you are using Hyperbole (understandable when making and argument) He is not “below average in everything he does” He above average in some of his stats and below the mean in others. (THIS YEAR)
I get it. You are unhappy as am I but I don’t think he is the main reason we have issues on offense. Does he have issues? Hell yes. Can those be fixed? I think so. But we will have to wait and see.
which stats would you say he is above average in?
ESPN says he is 8th in passing attempts
not 22
That was not intended to be Hyperbole
that is what the stats actually say
He is 15th in TD and I’m calling 15 and 16 average
There are 2 stats I have him top 10 in
pass attempts
and pass comp
this isn;t hyperbole
these are my reading of ESPN stats
Those are not good numbers
Why do people keep talking about how much Tannehill gets sacked but refuse to acknowledge HIS role in that? He sucks in the pocket. He holds the ball too long. He rarely throws the ball away. Does any of that matter? I know the OL struggles, but they are not the only reason Tannehill gets sacked so often. Tannehill needs to improve immensely on his pocket management. He hasn’t gotten much better in this area from day one.
***
Huh, so this is what’s it’s like to be on the other side of this argument. Lol
But if you are comparing QB stats, let’s compare Tannehill’s to all QBs who had their HC and OC fired mid-year and had their DC fired as well, so there was not even a cushion to take up the slack.
Not only does that cause turmoil for a QB to deal with week to week, but it also suggests that the season plans and schemes put into place in training camp were so bad they are also not something the QB can fall back on or even trust a little bit. What offense were they even running there for the last month?
To me, Tannehill is heroic considering he was basically asked to figure out what to do all by himself. They never did get a replacement OC and the HC was as young as some NFL players!!
Randy
Maybe if we sent him somewhere to show him what a “pocket” actually was supposed to look like he would learn what the “presence” was? 😉
You wont; find any in the last few weeks
the OL has been really bad recently
but there were moments during the year, not entire games, but times when protection was better and Tanny did not deliver or show any semblance of what an NFL Qb should be in the pocket
Really like the game with the perfect QB rating and 4 TD passes? Come on, man. You’re going overboard with this stuff.
We need new players. Unless you’re bringing in a great coach who can work a miracle….we need new players. Even in an extremely down year in the NFL and a ridiculously easy schedule, we still sucked hind titty. IT’S THE PLAYERS!
Of this I agree 100%
Cut them all and we can play practice squad players for a year or 2!
What you worried about?
A loosing season????????????
Hearing rumors now that Tomlin might be on the hot seat in Pitt……wtf. If true and he does get fired, i know who i want as our new coach.
Hadn’t heard that but he would shoot to the top of any list!
wyoming,
Lol. Good one. I’ve never claimed our OL has played well.
which stats would you say he is above average in?
Any and all of them that list him above #16 (the mean average) LOL
I’m not going to keep up this round robin. You are picking Tannehill for your emotional outlet. Fine. I AGREE WITH YOU his play this year was disappointing. Much like Eli Mannings were for years….. Let’s talk about something else.
its not an emotion outlet
on all of his stats he is 15 (TDs) or below except pass attempts and pass completions
take a look at his stats on the ESPN link I posted above
this is not an emotional rant
Ryan Tannehill does not have good stats
the stats themselves are facts
not a matter of opinion or the product of being upset about the team
So what do we need as an HC here? (if we are not going to give Campbell a chance to find an OC and a DC and put his players through a spring camp and a Training camp the right way, and I think we should)
Do we want to promote a DC or an OC or recycle a fired HC?
Or do something crazy like bring up the Clemson or FSU or Baylor coach from college. There are very few college coaches that can do the NFL thing. I prefer former NFL players.
But Jimbo Fisher was a great athlete and QB in college and is a proven developer of over-achiever QBs.
Dabo Swinney is a former WR whose proteges at WR are some of the best in the NFL.
Maybe that is what we need. A high-powered deep-ball offense. They both had very good defenses as well.
naples
But, we fired all those coaches because they were making Tannehill worse! Lol
***
Shouldn’t firing all those terrible coaches have made him better? That’s what all the tanneholics said was going to happen. But, now it seems we also need a new OL, new WR/TE, a new towel boy, a new equipment manager, a new defense because our defense somehow makes Tannehill play worse. Is there anything else this organization can do to make the life of their very average, overpaid QB any easier? A new owner, perhaps?
How many teams are looking for head coaches this year?
pls no Mike Tomlin … not after he feinted at the KR that day.
And certain other things reveal his deteriorating emotional stability.
You are the watchdog for mentally unstable coaches. LOL
>>>
naples
But, now it seems we also need a new towel boy.
>>>
WRONG!!!
I think we have elite towel people!!
Tim
I honestly think keeping your head on straight is a huge plus and/or necessity for being an NFL / HC or really any managerial job in the US. When they can remain calm and plan and work their plan and still flex when the plan starts to fail, then they win. If not, we get “PLAYOFFS??!!??”
I’m just saying I was not aware of the mental instability of Mora and Tomlin, but you are. LOL
>>>
naples
But, we fired all those coaches because they were making Tannehill worse! Lol
>>>
Actually that is true, but beside the point.
I think if you use statistics to mark Tanny’s production level, and you took all statistics into account, you basically would come with “average” as your result. This year showed very little to see as improvement, except the 4-5 times all year we threw a deep pass, those looked better. The rest of the arguments about his +’s and -‘s hinge on your opinion of the skills he failed at, and what blame can be put on him vs the team around him and we have been tirelessly arguing those points for what seems like decades.
I know what i had hoped to see, and i saw the opposite of it. I am willing however to see it through and see if he can go back to, at the very least, the point i expected from him this year. My expectations were only to continue to improve in areas we already saw improvement, and start taking concerted steps forward in those we had yet to. This isnt unreasonable, and im willing to pretend this year didnt happen as long as next year he gets himself back on track. I still get the vibe he could be a great QB, but then again, there are a lot of people that fall short of their potential.

Ditka was one of the most unstable coaches I’ve ever seen, and he won a Super Bowl! It’s about the players!

I’m just teasing though. I agree with you for the most part.

??? We do NOT need new WR or TE. Those are a strength of the team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D,
What has Tannehill ever done to suggest he can be great? Or, is that just wishful thinking? Personally, I haven’t seen a single thing to suggest he can be great. He is what he is….an average QB who needs a lot of good pieces around him to be successful. WANTING him to someday be great is one thing. Basing that opinion on what he’s actually done is another. Like any player, he may have moments of really good play, but average players also have really bad moments too…that’s what ultimately makes them average.
***
“Potential” is highly speculative…but something fans like to hold onto.
>>>
we need a new defense because our defense somehow makes Tannehill play worse.
>>>
Giving up a long drive every time our offense scores DOES make Tannehill play worse, because we have to go one-dimensional (in Lazor’s mind) and the QB MUST make scoring plays, and the DL can go into pass rush mode every down etc. etc. and the dominoes fall.
its not an emotion outlet
Ok, I agree to disagree. The rest of the team stats are below average to. you “are not ranting” but seem to be fixated this morning on Tannehill for some reason. I am not in the mood to defend him. He sucks. Throw away the 13Mil next year and bench him. Use a top 5 draft pick on an unproven rookie and we can all say he sucks next year when he fails to perform with the rest of the sub-par team…..
>>>
Is there anything else this organization can do to make the life of their QB any easier?
>>>
Why would a team FO NOT want to make life easier for the guy on whom every play depends?
That is just common sense. If you depend on one machine above all else in your factory, don’t you want all systems to prevent failure of that one component at all costs? If not, you get no product or an inferior, unsellable product coming off the conveyer belt. (a 5-11 season)
Half-assing it is in fact keeping one person and not the rest, regardless of that persons’ length of tenure. Half-assing it also includes keeping this but not that, then deciding a year later that THAT was also a problem so getting rid of that and keeping the new THIS, which has now been affected by the taint of the whole system. It does not get fixed until the system that drives it is fixed; Ross has the “cold”- everyone else will catch the “cold” until Ross goes to the “Doctor” and gets his “cold” cured. My opinion.
Tbaum already has a reputation- whatever it is, I did not include it, as it isn’t germane to my opinion.
naples,
Holy cow….you’re parsing put your responses. Can’t you just be like D and write a novella? Lol
LOL

Why build your team around an average, flawed and limited QB?

Hey I know you are just having fun at the end of a debacle.
And both of those teams were packed with talented players, so you are right about that.
But neither of those coaches put together a long run dynasty because they were fragile in different ways. Look at them at their other coaching jobs.
This could start an exodus of players retiring like Chris Borland and others.

What did Miko the mouth actually say?
The entire team hates Tannehill.
Randy
Tannehill gets hit on almost every play, even running plays. lol
Try, so Ross doesn’t have the right to keep an executive he just hired moving forward and assisting in the HC search or he’s half-assing it? I don’t see how that makes any sense whatsoever. The fans opinion of Ross and Tannenbaum does not matter so in the big scheme of things it’s just more bitching about the owner because some fans don’t like him or Tannenbaum.

Preemptive apology Herd, i couldnt pass up the opportunity.
LMAO @ the Blog
Yeah it’s more of the same. LOL
If the Patriots needed a little more incentive to beat the Dolphins in Sunday’s regular-season finale in South Florida, they might have just gotten it.
According to a report in the Miami Herald, the Dolphins were so distrusting of the Patriots that they took extra equipment staff to Foxboro for the team’s game in October as a preventative measure. The Dolphins reportedly wanted to ensure that no Patriots employees would have access to Miami’s equipment prior to their Thursday night game.
UPDATE, 10:45 a.m.: Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked about the story during his conference call with the Miami media Wednesday morning. Replied Belichick: “I’m just worried about what we’re doing, trying to coach our team. You’d have to talk to them about it.”
Mike Tannenbaum, Miami’s executive vice president of football operations, has a long history with the Patriots, as he was the Jets general manager when New York reported the Patriots’ Spygate videotaping operation to the NFL. The Jets coach at the time was Eric Mangini, who is rumored to be a candidate to be the Dolphins coach next season.
Meanwhile, interim coach Dan Campbell is looking to end his run with an upset of the Patriots, who are aiming for the top seed in the AFC.
“This may sound crazy, but, yeah, I want what they have and let’s see if we can challenge these guys,” Campbell said Monday. “Let’s see if we can compete.”
sorry that is a cut and paste from “The Mashup” … i did not write any of it.
A lot of teams do stuff like that going to NE because they don’t trust them. Many team feel their locker rooms were bugged. Peyton use to have conversations in other places because of it.
MikeE,
So does almost every other NFL QB. OL’s are struggling in the league right now. Defenders are becoming much more athletic….not a lot of 340 pound hole pluggers anymore….and because of the liberal offensive rules, defenses are adjusting and focusing much more on pressure and sub packages. Plus, defenders tend to rotate in and put whereas OL do not…eventually leading to tired OL and much fresher defenders late in games.
***
With all that said, our OL has to play much better. But, so does our QB.
Put Miko on waivers.
Blake Bortles. Sacked 43 times this year. 35 TDs. How is that possible?
He had a coach.
I think it is interesting that the NE biased reporter took the position that this would give NE more incentive to smash the Dolphins, rather than admitting that all other teams hate his team and think they cheat every home game.
Gotta review some previous game films of these players but from the few bowl games i have been able to watch. Beckwith ILB/OLB LSU +++, Alexander OT/OG LSU +, Hawkins OT LSU +++, La’Raven Clark OT Texas Tech – -, Turner OG UNC ? (wasnt really challenged by the smaller Baylor DT’s), Drnago OT/OG Baylor ++. Watching (sorta kinda) Auburn right now for Kris Frost LB, Casanova McKinzy and Carl Lawson.
Russell Wilson. Sacked 44 times. 31 TDs. A mirage, you say?
Aaron Rodgers. Sacked 41 times. 30 TD s. But…but…what?
He looked awesome sunday too. 🙄
Randy, so if OL’s are struggling all across the league, that may point to the plethora of teams we’ve seen this year at & below .500 like Miami is. Then you add a poor scheme on both sides of the ball and is it any wonder the the QB is struggling and the team is losing more than it’s winning!
Mathew Stanford. Sacked 40 times. 29 TDs. You gotta be messing with me?!?
No running game or defense like the Phins. Your point is?
Packers have lost 4 of last 5 games. I guess Randy’s Aaron Rodgers shoulders aren’t big enough this time with this team.
NE has a rep of cheating and they’ve been penalized for it so nothing new here. They don’t have a 1st rd pick this year or a 3rd rd pick next year because of their shenanigans in deflategate. But nobody was guilty. LOL
Goodell should have hired your avie instead of Ted the talking teddy bear from the movie.
LOL
Marcus Mariota(a rookie who has thrown 180 fewer passes than our QB). Sacked 38 times. 19 TDs. Must be his polenysian ancestry.
He’s got that team in contention….woooo. Oh wait.
gdp
Who says i need a point? I’m just throwing out stats. Seems to me that plenty of other QBs get sacked a lot and still score TDs. Ours don’t.
Team game, depends on who’s getting open, who’s defending, & who’s catching at the time.
LMAO, yet soooo true!
Tim,
What does “right” have to do with it? He can do whatever the fuck he wants, doesn’t mean it will ever fix the problem.
I think calling it half-ass is inaccurate. We’re actually in a position to do it the way everyone said it should be done. It’s how most teams do it. Somehow it’s fucked up if we do it that way.
Greg Likens @GregLikens 20m20 minutes ago
In the open portion of #Dolphins practice, Branden Albert, Mike Pouncey, Earl Mitchell, & Jelani Jenkins aren’t practicing

I’m just curious. Do you think Tannehill negatively affects anything or anyone on this team?
He’s made some bad plays, has mistakes. Bounces back from them. He shows grit & determination. Is a leader. Scrapes himself off the ground several times a game & keeps grinding.
So I don’t think he’s a negative for the team or in the locker room. He’s A+ outside the locker room too. More players should look to him instead of knocking him as Miko claims.
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley 21s22 seconds ago
It was a CIRCUS around Grimes in the locker room. Bobby McCain was taping the press conference. Players were SCREAMING so we couldn’t hear.
The team is officially lost now.
Grimes & his sidewalk organ grinder show gotta GO!
So there is still a lot of discussion on the merits of Ryan Tannehill. For those that want to argue that he is an average or below average QB, what then is your plan for the next season? I am of the opinion that he is not our GREATEST issue, and may be the hardest to replace even if he was. Realistically is it not more likely that they need to upgrade on the other positions because financially and practically that is more likely?
For those that think Tannehill is not the answer, my question then becomes…what is the answer for next year?
Great question….none of the FA QB’s are. The draft prospects are raw & unproven. So a smart franchise sticks with a tough athletic kid like Tannehill and builds a team around him. Been saying it for awhile now.
They’ve put some nice pieces around him, and also made some not so good moves around him. Keep building, it will come!
we can go 2 directions in 2016
1. Stick with Tanny for now. Draft a day 3 Qb with the intent of grooming him as a backup. Give Tanny 2016 to prove he is the franchise QB. Focus draft on defense and pick up some FA vet OL. I actually would prefer doing this. And if Tanny improves then we are set, if not cut our losses in 2017 and move on then – we have an out in the contract
2. Use our top pick on either Goff, Lynch or Cook (probably not Cook – maybe round 2 early pick on Cook). keep Tanny on the roster in 2016. let him compete for the job with the rookie
either way he is probably on the roster in 2016
I don’t think QB is our greatest need either
but I do think you need a franchise QB in the NFL and I do not think Tanny has been at that level
So – with new coach coming in – I think making a move now is realistic
The salary cap works in either scenario
rookies are cheap
I’m not looking at Free agency to get a QB
Pig,
Thanks for the post. I like your first option and personally am on board with that. I think they need to draft a QB in the mid-late rounds, (I am not sold on Logan Thomas) and address the other equally pressing needs earlier in the draft and FA (as GDP alludes to above). If Tannehill does not improve with hopefully better coaching and schemes and an improvement in talent, then they have an out in 2017.
gdp
Are you politician because you completely ignored answering my question. Lol
***
And Tannehill is not a leader. The team has none.
Glad you’re in such a position to confirm that contrary to coaches & other players PC’s.
Wish I had your inside knowledge & pulse on the team.
GD, your opinion of the state of this team and Tannehill is wrong. Only the opinions that are opposed to yours are right. It’s pretty clear by the statements that have been made. That’s why I’m staying out of it. It’s an old and tired debate that goes in circles. Nobody is changing their opinion on this subject and in the big scheme of things it really doesn’t matter. LOL
I’ve changed my opinion on Tannehill
others have too
It wasn’t one post that did it
you keep calling it a tired debate
its not true
People have definitely changed the way they feel about players
they take a closer look at players
you don’t want to hear the discussion
that is your choice
but other want to discuss whether he is the future or not
So now my opinion that it’s a tired debate is not true? LOL
I’ve been reading the same friggin thing here for weeks by the same people saying the same thing. I think we’ve all gotten it out. But some comments are being made as absolute now and they’re no longer opinions so that’s where I bailed.
Miko Grimes is a sideshow
she has nothing to do with the teams performance
no one takes her seriously anyway
Put in in perspective – not worth an ounce of breath
Just a talking head with no journalistic credentials
Of course you guys want to talk about how bad she is instead of Ryan Tannehill
I think you can be a leader in many ways. to me it is subjective and a matter of opinion….but that is what we do here…LOL
…and Tannehill has lead by example. But Randy thinks I didn’t answer his question. It’s more the answer he doesn’t want to hear is why….lol

I’ve watched a lot of the Phins pressers and when you can actually hear the questions because in 2015 they still can’t turn up the volume, you hear some really dumb and regurgitated questions.
All this tells me is we will probably win 45-0…LOL

I don’t see Ross as a problem and I’m not strongly opinionated about Tannebaum
I am thinking about the future
and my big question is – is Tannehill the future
that will be our biggest personnel move (or no move) in determining our future
I don’t agree with the dialogue that a new coach will fix him and fix everything
I think tannehill may be a problem, not the result of other problems
We are not in a dire salary situation with him
even if we draft a rookie – its a good situation
he either competes with a young talent
or becomes a reliable backup for one season without breaking the salary cap bank
I’ll say it again – I don’t favor drafting QB high
but its realistic
I don’t want to gripe about Ross or Tannebaum
that stuff is too out there for me – I don’t think the relationship between Ross and the team is too direct
I don’t think those things will change anyway
maybe Tannebaum will change…we will see
but Tannehill – that’s a move the team CAN make (not that my opinion matters)
and I don’t think it should be dismissed
Discussing Tannehill as the future is relevant to the future of the team
and those discussions should not be dismissed
I think you will find me more optimistic than the average fan about our future
I just think that future may be without Tannehill

I got carpel tunnel trying to scroll above Piggy’s post!
Anyone know a good lawyer? 😉
Ken and Stanger…..lol
Tim
of course your opinion matters
Your opinion that other opinions don’t matter or its the same old thing as always – does not matter. Not to me anyway
Tannehill is either the future of the team or he is not
And that is what this blog SHOULD be talking about now
this topic began b/c I mentioned (respectfully) that the Hulk post having a running theme about developing a young QB and why that might not be our focus – at least not regarding Tannehill
Its relevant to the Hulk post
its relevant to the future of the team
its relevant to the Dolphins
Its not irrlevent bc you’ve heard Tannehill criticism before
And I will say it time and time again
People are dismissive about it – b/c they don’t want to hear it
Its not a decision that will lack controversy
There are good arguments not to part ways with Tannehill
But I believe its very much on the table NOW more than ever
we now have the 6th pick in the draft
and we might be able to be in that position to take Lynch or Goff
Its right in front of us now – more than ever
a month ago – it was not so realistic
I will say what I said a couple of days ago AGAIN
I would not be surprised if a new HC wants a new QB
I’m not reading anything new was all I was saying. My post to GD was sarcastic when I started reading absolute statements that were no longer opinions but declarations of fact which basically made anything GD, Mike or myself or anyone else who had opposing opinions null and void. It wasn’t just you by the way. 😉
okay
fair enough
🙂
I have to take a break fromt he blog for the rest of the afternoon anyway
I need to go pick my pink piggy panties out of my wedge and it will take a while, my tail is all twisted up in them…..
and my big question is – is Tannehill the future
FALSEHOOD!!!!! FALSEHOOD!!! LIAR!!!! That is not your question. You have not asked that question you have stated as FACT that he is not the future hand have been running a rant / campaign to prove that supposed ‘fact’. Look Piggy. I like you on the blog and have met you twice in person and enjoyed your company then. So I am just going to ignore you reply to this reply and move on. The Tannehill witch hunt is drollish and boring to me so I will not participate anymore today. Have a nice day. 🙂
Is Tannehill the future?
Happy now
State of the Dolphins Locker Room.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero Dec 27
Horrible work by Ryan Tannehill. Simply putrid.
Calling Tannehill Putrid will get you all kind of respect in the locker room?
I don’t know about the lockeroom
but its very popular here
Damn, wrong song. Here ya Go!
Ya gotta listen to that song all the way thru. What a freakin classic. Just laughed my ass off in the office.
Yep, it’s the State of the Dolphins all right….lol
Sums up the blog here as well. 😀

Holy mackerel…The video of the Grimes presser is just as bad as it was in person.

This Dolphins pass defense is record setting. Just the wrong type of record.

I’m just trying to have some fun with this whole team/situation….been chuckling as I post a lot today! I’m sorry, but I haven’t seen a thing from the team to suggest they have any true leaders….Tannehill or anybody else. I don’t pay attention to anything coaches or players say. If they’re smart, they say whet they should say…not what they really think. It’s about what they show on the field.
Na say it ain’t so!
Thanks, man. It has been another 3 ring circus. Which again makes it hard to point to Tannehill with all the craziness all season long.
We should start referring to the SS, MH and PBP as the trifecta of cackling clowns. LOL
I am still soooo upset that David Gerard didn’t get a fair shot! HE WAS THE ANSWER! Too bad the FO / Coaching we just too stupid to see it! (the question of course was who is the worst QB on the roster…)
Well he was the starter until he hurt his knee in his pool playing with his kids. I’m sure he was going to survive the season being hit by 300 lb. DL. LOL
Tim, he didn’t lose his starting job because he hurt his knee playing in the pool with his kids. He lost it because he is BLACK. SMH don’t you know nothing? Omar pretty much said so!
Wyoming, I watched the vids of Grimes & Tanny in the locker room.
WOW, Grimes keep saying he didn’t say that, nor see that cause he doesn’t go on twitter.
Says that’s not his opinion, that his wife has. So basically he’s saying she’s full of shit & he can’t control her….What a WHIMP! lol
Tanny handled himself well, chuckled about it, blew it off. But I can tell you, Grimes is GONE. No way Tbomb keeps him past March 1st.
I don’t envy the position Mrs. Grimes put Brent in
Poor lil Grimey. Bae has no friggin backbone. She wears the pants in that family.
You don’t like the birthday cake?
Maybe she will do the squatting crane for you? 😉

LOL @ both of you
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
Campbell said Miko’s assertion that the Dolphins didn’t complete a two-minute pass last week in practice was bunk. They didn’t run 2-min.
Sooooooooooo Technically Miko was right? They didn’t run the drill so he could not complete a pass during it. See SHE TELLS THE TRUTH……LOL
gdp
I watched those pressers. I’m always struck by how stupid reporters are. I think that job would suck if they have to ask the same stupid ass questions over and over and over.
***
Grimes never really said it wasn’t his opinion…as in, it wasn’t what he thought of Tannehill. He said the opinion they were asking him about wasn’t his…he didn’t post it or know of it. When asked point blank at the very end about his opinion of Tannehill, he didn’t exactly praise him.
***
Tannehill never even went that far and just kept referring to Grimes as his teammate…nothing more. He never said a single positive thing about Grimes. I didn’t hear a lot of love coming from either direction. Lol
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 1m1 minute ago
Dan Campbell calls Damontre Moore “an acquired taste.”
A polite way to say he’s an asshole. LOL
LOL @ Wyo, she talks about Tanny getting people fired.
Well lets see, she got herself fired from WQAM after being arrested & now she will be getting her husband fired from Miami, as well as costing him money elsewhere. No other team is going to be wanting to be the highest bidder for his services now….lol
But her like so many other idiots can’t think ahead before they open their big mouth.
Yeah Grimes big payday has come and gone. I still don’t get them as a couple, they’re so different. Then again I don’t care why either. Nothing to see here. LOL
Omar is now on twitter saying “half the guys on the team don’t want to be in Miami”
Actually I think he said it on his radio show and someone tweeted to him asking if that would change with the new HC.
Omar is now on twitter saying “half the guys on the team don’t want to be in Miami” as long as I’m here!
There I fixed it!
Speaking of that were is FFR?
He said something like that last year and that big time FAs won’t come here.
I’m down trodden that nobody enjoyed or commented on my Freakin at the Freaker’s Ball tune.
It’s a sad day in America when people no longer recognize greatness.
I can’t listen at work.
I cannot see youtube videos on my computer at work. Even if they are embedded on another site. The Asshole IT guys blocked them.
My boss called me to his office a few weeks ago to help him with a “computer problem” When I got up there he asked me if I could figure out why he couldn’t watch the Miami Huricanes presser on his computer. I told him “because you had the IT guys block videos on company computers..” LOL His response was “They weren’t supposed to block ME!”
ROFLMO I told him it doesn’t work that way, they blocked it at the server not at each computer. It would take too long to block EVERYONE’s machines. Do what I do and just watch it on your Iphone.” He kind of squinted at me for a minute and said “Thanks….go back to work..” HA!
Time to bet the mortgage, children’s milk money, and hock wife’s dead mother’s heirlooms to take NE & lay the 9 points sunday. 😀
NINE?? I would lay it at 18!
That would be my 1st half bet….lol
bookman,
I think you can see leadership on the field. We can’t see it in the locker room or class room or practice field. As fans, all we get to see is what happens during games. I’ve seen a lack of leadership in that arena.
***
If you or others have,..that’s cool. I haven’t. Ultimately, there are always “leaders” on a team, but are they good leaders? Incognito was a perfect example. He was a leader, but was he a good and effective one?
Incognito? LMAO, now I know you’ve lost it. smh
I saw that earlier looking for a 70’s rock group that had a song with a circus theme playing in the background of the song. So I almost just posted what you did….lol
LOL
It’s perfect, so it makes sense more than one of us might have posted it.
Omar in the locker room
What is going on here? LOL
gdp
Well, he was according to the team. Pouncey as well…you know…their illegal drug provider?
I thought Molly was a girl that would come over and….
She’s the dancer at Tootsies that used to Whip Martin!
I’ve tried to call it a season more than once, but I just can’t quit this place, lol.
You are starring in “One climbed to the top of the Cuckoo’s Nest”
This team makes me want to lobotomize myself, lol.
You know how you know Miko is full of shit and doesn’t think before she speaks? Grimes signed a one year deal for $5.5M in 2013. He then signed a 4 year deal at $32M in 2014. Ryan Tannehill has been the QB since 2012. So they signed two contracts knowing Tannehill wasn’t any good? Nice try cuntmouth. LOL
Kong,
Brokeback Dolphin Fan? That’s just wrong, man.
LOL
Tim,
The flaw in your thinking is that Grimes actually cares about winning…or what sort of QB was on the team….and wasn’t simply interested in the money. Lol
The flaw is that Miko is full of shit and not only is she trashy but she’s also dumb.
Tim I found the solution to your problem!
LOL, I’ll pass.
RAndy, correct Grimes cares about winning & apparently Tannehill doesn’t. 😉
Tim,
Sorry, but I find the stuff said about Miko distasteful and rude. Yes, I see what other people say about her. I’m just shocked at some of the things said about her for simply voicing an opinion about a football player. Just me…not speaking for anybody else. It doesn’t mean I give her opinion any credence.
Oh brother. Randy defending Miko! There you have it. That’s all you need to know. LMAO!!!!
LOL, they share the same opinion. what do you expect?
Dude, she used vile language to describe local writers not named Omar, wished rape on them by Magic Johnson’s d**k. Called them pussies, degrades Tannehill.
Think maybe she’s distasteful & rude?
She was simply voicing an opinion about a football player. LOL
Winning!
I actually do think Incognito was a leader, he was the alpha male leader type, wasnt positive since the leadership he provided led to immaturity and thuggishness, but ill agree with Randy he was a leader. On the field i think his leadership was undeniable, the OL had an identity and an attitude when he was there that it doesn’t really have anymore.
Pouncey is a so-so leader on the field, but i dont think he had the inspirational side that Incognito had. Again, this is not to say what he brought was good or bad, but his ability to get people to follow his direction both on and off the field, again, undeniable.
