Report: Dolphins plan to part ways with Ryan Tannehill, tank 2019 season for Tua Tagovailoa

[EaglesPeteC]

Knowing the Dolphins, they will make a bunch of moves they think are bad and they will go 10-6 

[Raves]

But wouldn't keeping Tannehill give them a better chance at tanking?

from the article:

"Miami’s approach to tanking will be organic."

thats good to know.

maybe the fans not attending games will be organic too

Any chance the league gets pissy with the Dolphins for tanking? 

It'll be nothing compared to the 2020 tank-a-thon.

Interesting, I've always liked the Dolphins but to be truthful they haven't had much good at QB since Marino left. Will Tua fix that, should they get him? We'll have to see.

Tannehill has neither been the cause or solution to Miami's problems the past few years. Better cut ties, save money, and go "all in" for a potential star QB.

Brian Flores is a good dude who I think can be a solid HC.  I feel bad for him if he's joining an organization hell bent on tanking.

The league needs a draft lottery where the bottom 8 teams have an identical chance at the 1st pick.

There should be no incentive to ever lose on purpose.

I don't know, but if it's true, there's a 100% chance I get pissy. How could anyone stand playing a whole season for a team that's not really trying to win and waiting for one guy in the 2020 Draft? 17 games is a lot. A player could get injured in that time. His career might even end, and that's the note it would have ended on. Not cool. Play to win the game.

But will it also be gluten free is the real question?

I want my 'Tank for Tua' shirt in a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend. So soft, so comfy. 

[Chargers]

I support the Dolphins tanking for Tua. That's one less team in lottery for Trevor Lawerence in 2021.

Why would they hire a new coach just to do this? Seems like a real slap in the face to Brian Flores.

According to reports, he's down for it. I think a lot of folks are taking their definition of tanking as trying to lose. They're just not about to spend big $ on free agents, bargain-bin shopping in FA, cut ties with aging vets with a big salary, and draft BPA; it's written right there in the article.

We'll still win 6 games knowing this team.
