I find the idea of tanking following a year in which we had the 1 seed and went 12-5 while rostering the most players in NFL history infinitely more miserable than seeing if Tannehill can bounce back and, if not, being able to get rid of him without crippling the franchise’s cap situation for years to come. These are all hypotheticals and would never actually really happen. I can also see scenarios where Tannehill is continually good enough where you don't cut off from him. And you basically extend his welcome continually for years while you waste away careers like aforementioned AJ, and Simmons. When are players going to get tired of him? Because if I was Simmons, AJ, or Henry, I would sure as hell be annoyed as **** him tonight. Sure you can have Tannehill play another year? But what's the plan after we get bounced out the playoffs next year first round? The same situation you are talking about players getting upset just get pushed down the road. I am not saying release him. But you better get creative in giving players hope in life after Tannehill. Because sorry I won't be surprised if we are singing the same song next year.

twotonebluenation Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Also from the outside looking in, if I was player I would stick around through a crappy season because I believe in Vrabel. Vrabel is the glue. Tannehill isn't the glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same situation you are talking about players getting upset just get pushed down the road. The difference is that next year he won’t cost $60 million to get rid of. He gets 2022. Unless you can get Rodgers or Russ, in which case you hope you can make it a three team trade. If he doesn’t rebound and flames out, you get rid of him. When you’ll have more cap flexibility and also not already be down a second round pick. I don’t know if you appreciate what getting rid of Tannehill this offseason would do. I’m a firm believer in the cap as a make believe number. But if we were to cut Tannehill tomorrow, it’s also saying good bye to Landry. That’s how bad the dead cap is.

titans0021 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The funny thing is that literally the best you could hope for while replacing Tannehill are as follows: A QB that just lost at home while scoring 10 points. A QB that went 7-10 with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. And a QB that hasn’t played in a year and may be an actual monstrous human being.

SerenityNow Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The move is to start seriously looking at our potential QB options this offseason. Look into the Rodgers/Wilson scenarios see what's what with those. We owe ourselves that. Seriously look into the top QB prospects in this year's draft. It's not a great class, but at least do your due diligence and figure out if we see anybody in the crop that we can potentially groom as our future starter. Ryan is our starter next year barring the unthinkable of Rodgers or Wilson coming here, but we need to be proactive with trying to upgrade the QB position. The longer we try to put it off the longer we're wasting the prime of our cornerstone pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The most realistic thing this team needs is a TE. Like a good TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans0021 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Tannehill and the interceptions deserve the attention. I get it. But man would we’ve been better off if Derrick hadn’t come back. I love him, but he was so tentative. And, in retrospect, the game may have been decided on him not reaching for the goal line on the conversion attempt.

Yep. Schultz is the best true TE available but once again, we have no money because of our overpaid QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick got tackled and the Bengal defender made a great play the game was decided on Ryan’s three interceptions and missing a td to AJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanSlim Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Tannehill’s interceptions were bad. The fact that one was in the redzone and the other two led to 6 points is what makes it just an utter failure. In a 3 point loss, that’s at worse a 9 point swing. I’ve never played QB but is being a game manager that difficult. Jimmy G and Tannehill makes it look so hard.
