Seriously some guys need to learn more about football.

Tannehill graded out the best of all Miami offensive players
Thats not saying much. Look at the game. We scored 10 freaking points. Who would have a higher score? The olinemen that weren't blocking well? The receivers that were dropping passes? The running backs that had nowhere to run? The tightends that didnt need to bother to dress for the game? The kicker that had a FG blocked?
Tannehill is a trojan horse. He looks the part, talks the part, and has a tremendous arm. But his ball placement is consitently off (generally slightly behind the receiver). So he makes easy completions become difficult completions. He makes it impossible for receivers to maximize yardage. The slow down and turn back to catch the ball, giving the defender a chance to catch up. End result? Its a completion, which makes Tanny rating/score fine, but the Fins get 8 yards instead of what should have been 12 or 14 (you get the point).
Aside from his ball placement, he has horrible pocket presence. He holds the ball too long and ends up taking sacks others wouldnt. Yes, the Oline isn't very good....but he makes them look worse then they really are.....the opposite of what a good QB accomplishes.
He also has trouble finding throwing lanes.....always leads the league in balls batted down at the line of scrimmage (this goes back to his college days).
In essence, he looks and feels like an Asset, but he's really hurting the team from within. We would have been better off drafting a complete dud, someone we could have benched and moved on from after a season or 2.
