I don't think he's saying two guys can't be compared, but they are two QBs in completely different situations. Wilson makes plays because his line gives him time, the backs take pressure off and the coaches don't put him in difficult spots.

How can Tannehill scramble as often as Wilson when his lanes to go outside are the ones being cut off because the tackles get beat and the backs whiff on picking up blitzes?

We saw what Tannehill did against the Jets, Pats and Steelers when he had something of a balanced offense and a defense that prevented complete shootouts (Pitt being a bit of an exception).

Tannehill had a deep ball issue with Wallace, but he made some pretty big plays in key situations to keep his offense in games where they should have been soundly defeated. How many games did Tannehill make plays, keep the team in it but it wasn't enough? Then look at the number of plays Wilson had to make in any given game but with the addition of a run game to keep defenses honest. Wilson didn't blow you away with numbers because he wasn't called upon to do so and therein lies the key to this debate. How many garbage interceptions did Tannehill have to throw because he just had to heave it? How many sacks did he take because his o-line couldn't handle a simple 4 man pass rush? How often did he have to try and win a game because the offense couldn't run the ball for more than 20 yards? When was Wilson ever asked to overcome things like this?

Sorry, I just don't think it is a fair comparison.

Now that's a good post.

We can't really debate much because this is all completely subjective and there's not much tangible to go off of. But you are right, in most respects it's not a fair comparison.

I know I'm a broken record, but all I'm saying is that while Wilson does have the help that Ryan doesn't, he also makes elite throws and plays with his feet that Tannehill doesn't. Tannehill's game is very mechanical, while Wilson goes out there and finds ways to make things happen down the field and when the play breaks down.

What one would do in the other's shoes is hypothetical, but it's just like scouting a college player. They're in different systems, playing different levels of competition with different supporting casts around them. Their production is not comparable, but the attributes they display are. And for me, Wilson displays elite attributes that we've yet to see from Ryan…at least consistently.

You still need a QB to make plays and win during the season to get you to the SB. Look around the league and check WIlson's numbers, he is a franchise QB, but he has the supporting cast. He was spotted 16 points and all three aspects of the team balled. The problem with MIA is the offense and defense sucks.
