I don't have an issue with him being paid $27-28 million a season - that's about his his level in the current market as in if a team is going to pay for an average guy, that's his mark.
He mostly played on an awful Dolphins team towards the end the offensive line was dangerous.
People seem to not actually take this into account for quarterbacks! There is a difference between having half a second to throw the ball to nobody and being able to sit in the pocket for wide open receivers...it will impact upon their stats
and just I said, the Tannenill camp is gonna clean the plate with forcing them to go with the Tannehill demands. they are gonna make him a high market value QB, because
operational starting QBs are just that hard to find. Overpaid or not, teams are gonna them as their centerpiece, cornerstone QBs and seek to lock them up for years to come.
I'm sure Titans wanted to comfortably believe Marcus Mariota was definitely their guy.
Especially with investing the No.2 overall pick in him. But it clearly wasn't happening and they had to seek better answer.
I still tend to wonder if Tannehill was more a backup insurance option than the guy fully planned to permanently supplant Mariota,.. but to their surprise
Going into a game vs Titans, I'm not game-planning for Tannehill, all attention is easily gonna be on Derrick Henry, they go as he goes, and force Tannehill to beat us - but bus-driver or not, to Ryan's credit, he actually made enough of the plays in the playoffs in not one but TWO huge upsets vs Pats and Ravens. That's what and all you can ask a bus-driver QB to do.
and the Tannehill camp is gonna take full advantage of that fantastic upsets and stretch run.
