I don't know is he going to sue Sherman for masquerading as an OC?

Tannehill is about to break Marino's rookie passing record. We're not seeing warning signs Omar, we're witnessing signs of potential greatness.

Omar is basically saying that teams are gameplanning for Tannehill's weaknesses. He's dead wrong. Teams aren't attacking Tannehill's weaknesses, they're attacking the rest of the team and hoping Tannehill tries to do too much.

I can tell you exactly how to stop the Dolphins and it has nothing to do with attacking Tannehill's weaknesses. Here is how you stop our current team:

Step one, put seven to eight guys in the box on every single down in order to shut down the run. The offensive line can't get a good push up front, and often times makes mistakes letting interior defensive linement go through untouched.
Step two, jam Hartline and Bess at the line of scrimmage in order to stop the timing of their routes. Both receivers are not overly strong or fast so it will be easy to throw off their route or catch up if they get past you.
Step three, leave one or both safeties deep to prevent anything over the top and to ballhawk on mid-range to deep throws. Again Hartline and Bess aren't burners or great in jump ball situations so the safety is just out there playing the outfield looking for picks. In addition, since they will have been jammed, this allows you to keep everything in front of you. No big plays.
Step four, rush at least five or six players on almost every single down in order to make sure Tannehill doesn't have a ton of time. His offensive line is weak and can't sustain their blocks for a very long period of time. This means you'll face a lot of quick reads, check downs, and throwing it away. Dink and dunk football in other words. Also, mix up your blitzes regularly, the offensive linemen and runningbacks are prone to forgetting their blocking assignments.
Step five, gang tackle and try for strips. The Dolphins runningbacks and receivers have fumbled several times this season.
Step six, try to get into the offensive linemen's heads. They're prone to committing stupid penalties. Especially when staring at a blitz.

If a team does all of these things, we won't be lighting up the scoreboard. We have a bad offensive line, zero run game the past month, and no burners at wideout to stretch the field vertically. Our best runningback is an inconsistent scat back. Our best offensive lineman is our center. Our best wideout is a small slot receiver. Our best tightend is best utilized as a blocker. It doesn't take a defensive genius to figure us out. We have a proven scheme, we just lack the talent to execute it right now. I expect Tannehill to be fighting an uphill battle all season long with this group. Hopefully Ireland will bring in some more athletic players to help Tannehill out next year.

All the things Omar is criticizing him for are very fixable. And I have confidence that Sherman and Philbin know as much about developing QBs as Omar does. I do find it ironic that a day before he was implying defenses have caught up with him now he is saying explicitly that they have not.

What does that mean? Marino didn't start all 16 games as a rookie.

Good point Rich. Plus if are going to defend every one of Marinos records that gets broken by todays players by saying that if he was playing now his numbers would be much greater because he would be having to deal with the rules during his playing days we need to do the same even if his record gets broken by one of our own. Tannehill breaking this record is very misleading. Marino was much more of a sure thing after his rookie season than Tannehill will be after his.
I like what I see in Tannehill but sorry to burst the bubble of everyone who thinks we found our next Marino because right now that is just the kool aid talking.

8 guys in the box, 2 safety's deep, 2 recievers jammed at the line, how many guys is the Miami O facing?

Lots of excuses for the rookie. He is barely ahead of Weeden in some categories. Man, it sucks seeing 3rd round pick Russell Wilson ranked at #12.

Ever since the injury, there has been a noticeable and troubling change in Tannehill's game.

To answer the question, yes he is showing warning signs.

Big Ben had 18td's and 23 picks his third season....

^he's a bust

That was also the season after the bike accident. He wasn't right that year.

I don't know what people expected. All season we were talking about how great he's playing, especially considering the circumstances, and that we should expect some rough patches....Well, here's a rough patch, and we're all over the guy.

Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm disappointed at the same time.

Yeah...a rough patch against pathetic competition.....that is what is so troubling. There is enough film out there now and Tannehill and company are now virtually unable to put points on the board.

Key words "and company"...

He was inaccurate against Buffalo. No question. But we've seen enough throughout the season to know that was a fluke.

His development will continue to be stalled until the team around him is at least respectable...which right now, it isn't even close to being. He needs help.

Andrew Luck is showing warning signs today.

Eli throws 20 picks every year

Yeah but he's Andrew Luck....so he's allowed a bad game against a bad defense.

Tannehill had two bad games....WHAT?!?!? Warning signs!!!

Wow....what a load of poop.

you've already given up. We get it. You lack patience.

I have been a fan for 40 years. We have not been to a Super Bowl since 1984 season and have not had a playoff win since 1999. You bet I am losing patience. Year after year after year of rebuilding. Missing on high draft picks. Stupid moves in free agency. The BS goes on and on. The storied franchise is now a league laughing stock. All talk and no walk. Let's see some real tangible evidence of improvement,,,,2008 was a mirage, a tease....I want to see a team that wins games, not always talks about the wins that got away, gives excuses for poor performance, and gets humiliated by cellar dwellers.

I agree with Mak, in response to the title of this thread, yes, I see potential warning signs. Tannehill was known in college for throwing a ton of picks and in the second half of football games. However, he is a rookie and I still give him a free pass to improve. Let's hope those bad habits get broken though as having the penchant for throwing interceptions at critical moments definitely will need to improve as he gets more NFL starts.

His supporting cast has got to improve too as he really doesn't have steady offensive line help and lacks a big offensive play maker.

I hope Miami signs Mike Wallace in free agency and give us the young down field threat.

he also played little more than a full season in college. This is basically a junior playing starting quarterback for a pro football team. Sorry guys but it's gonna take 3 or 4 years before this guy pays off big.

I like Tannehill but I am thinking back to when the Jets drafted Sanchez a guy with limited starts in college. They were thrilled at first but it looks like reality is settling in. If Tannehill is going to succeed he needs to really be coached up. I think we have a good prospect , hopefully it works.

Sanchez has never really put the work in until this year either. The Jets surrounded him with a lot of good players that have declined since. Jets fans didn't like Schotty Jr but I think he did a good job of keeping a balanced offense that actually worked. I do have high hopes for Tannehill. I really like his smarts and quick release. Now if we can get this offensive line that is full of 1st round draft picks on the same page.

all the coaching in the world is no cure for a lack of big time targets to throw to.
We don't even have one single big-body receiver who can win in a 1-on-1 jump ball
or a guy who could just abuse an opposing corner the way an A.J. Green or Demariyus Thomas can.
Until Tanny gets that he will continue to throw picks and have stalled drives.

Its a valid concern but Tannehill has a much better skill set to work with. If he starts getting the cocky Sanchez attitude then I will be concerned. Problem is Sanchez never had to struggle because he team always carried him and he made a couple of plays down the stretch. Once they couldn't carry him he fell apart. Tannehill is learning what its like to lose early with a bad supporting cast. From here he either learns to step up or develops a bad attitude/habits.

Sanchez is an extremely streaky/erratic passer. Tannehill is a little more consistent in that department. Experience-wise from college, yes they are very similar.

I think that, plus the attitude, is the big difference. Tannehill can make all of throws, Sanchez cannot. We'll just have to see on the consistency.
