Philbin announces Tannehill has won the QB competition

they are going to ruin that kid... Philbin looks like a dope on Hard Knocks... how many games are they going to win? 3 or under?

Uh-Oh.


Everyone realizes that Tannehill is CP's next Sanchez, right?

I was told multiple times he was a minimum 2 year project.

seriously the kid has a future but its not being thrown into the fire with by the worst WR corps in the NFL

lol

at least we didn't make a risky pick in the first round...whew

well yea. When Garrard is out with a knee injury and Matt Moore is your competition...

cassel will have a much better year

What were you predicting their record would be with Moore as their QB?

Me, Boss, Milkman and a few others were on the Tannehill bandwagon.

Yeah same here. I was a throwing up threads like Luv on crack before the draft.

I was one of the few others. Still haven't been proven right though. All this proves is that Matt Moore sucks.

a) Franchises should only care about the current year?

b) Cassel's supporting cast is much better than Tannehill's. Your point being?

I do. And in actuality he won't ever have nearly the success Sanchez had. I have been anti Tannehill and I remain as such.

I wouldn't start Tannehill even IF he's better than Moore. As others have suggested it could seriously screw up his development if he gets humiliated game after game.

Play Moore, you just payed the man, he's a vet and the team sucks. Let Tanny develop and then when Miami is mathmatically eliminated from the playoffs, bring Tanny in in the second half of those meaningless games at the end of the season.

Good lord some of the decisions these GMs/coaches make are just stooooooooooopid.

Tannehill is in a better situation than most rookie QBs who have no offensive weapons. He at least knows the playbook....considering it's the same shit he ran in college.

Hell, I'm STILL on the Sanchez wagon.

yah, I agree. That being said when the regular season starts than the vanilla stuff is over. These NFL defenses are going to be throwing all sorts of different looks at the phins and Tanny has no weapons to speak of, at least none that I can think of off the top of my head.

Unless they have an all-pro offensive line that can protect Tanny and open huge holes for whatever RB they have, it's just too much of a risk to play him IMHO.

Again, what the hell are they paying Moore for again?

IMHO, this is a desperation move by the Phins and I guarantee it's coming from the top, that is, ownership.

The Phins are just a terrible franchise IMHO.

You know you're QB is a stud when people need to point out that at 30, on a way better team, will have a better season than a rookie.

I'm glad we went with Poe and Wylie over moving up for a QB good enough to start his first game as a rookie. What we did was way safer.

They look pretty shitty on Hard Knocks. My first thought when hearing all thier recievers was WHO???

What's so desperate about it? He's the better of the two QB's.

It's not like Matt Moore is gonna come out and light the world on fire.

Yeah. I can see it now. Philbin wants to start Moore, but Ross calls down and tells him he has to start Tanny. Just like Clark decides who starts for the Chiefs. I think your guarantee is laughable. The may be a poor franchise and they may not win many games this year, and Philbin may look like a goober, but to think that the owner is deciding on who is starting is ridiculous.

Yeah that sucks for Tannehill. You think they'll draft Barkley or Bray if they are in the top 5 to pick?

What? We've gone to page 2 with no pics of Lauren?

Any chance we make a move for Moore as the backup?

Tannehill didn't exactly beat out Brady and Rodgers for the job.

I wonder if they plan on cutting Garrard or Moore?

One would have to think that if Daboll wants a vet and a developmental prospect...he would be vocal about upgrading Quinn to Moore.

Moore did quite well in Dabolls offense last year.

That offense was top half of the league with him as the starter.

Cassell 7th rounder
Tannehill 1st rounder

This is the first QB, who we have had a real shot at, that I wanted us to draft. It'll be interesting to track his progress. Would have loved for us to make a move in front of Miami for him, but he certainly isn't without some risk. He could be very, very good, or he could fizzle out quickly with his lack of experience.

I'm not going to go all Kevin Keitzmann up in here but it's sad that Kirk Cousins and Nick Foles were still there and available. Did you see Foles tonight? Not too shabby, how come every other team that takes Rookie QB's ends up making a decent investment but when we do it they wither in a year or two? Cause we're the Chiefs! That's why! Our greatest weapon is hope!!!

The #2 pick was for sale and the #6 pick was also up for auction.

There is no doubt that Pioli had no intention of bringing in a rookie quarterback.

Garrard was well on his way to winning the starting job.

This is true.
