This is a HUGE year for Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill.
Tannehill has started every single game including his rookie season and has amassed a 61.9 completion percentage, a 87-54 touchdown to interception ratio, 15,460 passing yards, 901 rushing yards and a career passer rating of 85.2.
All of these statistics support Ryan Tannehills adequacy. Unfortunately the main statistic people use to define QB’s in the NFL is Wins and Losses and that is where Tannehills numbers are bad. Tannehill has led teams to records of 7-9, 8-8, 8-8, and 6-10. That combines to a record of 29-35 with 0 playoff appearances.
Some claim Ryan Tannehill is the problem because he is not clutch and can’t throw the deep ball. Others say Tannehill is part of the solution while the rest of the team needs to step its game up. I’ll say that he hasn’t the right coaches surround him to improve his game a bit.
Ryan Tannehill now joins his 2nd head coach and his 3rd offensive coordinator could be another reason why fans seem to struggle with Tannehill. I think some fans are conflicted both ways with Tannehill. The fact of his supporting cast or him not being as cluth as some would think.
The Dolphins cannot and should not reasonably expect Ryan Tannehill to be a master of Adam Gases’ offense come week one against one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks, but at the same time when and where do Dolphins brass and fans have to draw the line and demand results?
I have to admit I am a firm believer of Tannehill. In a business that demands results and where excuses are worthless, I still believe in Tannehill. Since coming in to the league Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 184 times which is the most in the NFL during that time frame.
