Tannehill made the Dolphins so boring I forgot what it's like when they aren't boring. That's probably why I had virtually no reaction to this news.
It looks like there is a semblance of a logical plan. I don't mind spending $5 million for a bonus 4th round pick especially next year given the potential need to maneuver. Losing Juwaun James is okay since there really shouldn't be such pain to find competent offensive linemen on the street or in a later round. Watch the combine and it's incredible how outmatched those guys are compared to other positions.
The quarterback needs to be Murray or Tua. Don't make it overly complicated. Both guys managed 11.5 YPA or thereabouts over a full college season, same with Mayfield last season. Those are unprecedented numbers. They should be the first pick in three consecutive drafts. If somebody starts ******** up and thinking too much, leaving those guys available when they should not be, you've got to pounce.
The reason Tannehill was ever rated highly in the first place was too much thinking going on. He redshirted in college and never started a season opener at quarterback until beyond his 23rd birthday. He went 7-6 as a senior with the preseason #8 team and while underdog only one game all season. Any clarity whatsoever demotes that player. Something missing. Something wrong. But naturally you've got the tape guy desperation to look at irrelevancies like arm strength and stature and garbage like that. Every front office has those tape guys hanging around, throwing out opinions during dead periods to justify their salary or employment. There should be a specialized repellant.
