Deadpulse Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Woof none of those words sound good. Non-contact, same knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The more interesting part of this, if in fact he is seriously injured (not something I'm hoping for), is what the Dolphins would do next year, the first year that they can get out of that contract with big cap savings. He hasn't been awful, but he hasn't been great throughout his career, and if you add an injury that required him to miss this entire season, they may be enamored with the idea of moving on.

And give the reins to.. Matt Moore? Brandon Doughty? TJ Yates? A 2017 rookie? Dolphins are in a good cap situation, even if this ends up being a worst-case scenario type deal.

wackywabbit Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Worst possible news, if serious. For a backup, Matt Moore isn't bad though. Not like having Ryan Mallet as the #2. Given his time in the system, I'm not sure there is an upgrade out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Don't know if it makes any sense to trade off on Tannehill for a shot on Jimmy G if he's available, or Blake Bortles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude throws straight ducks. It doesn't work with his "gunslinger-lite" play style. He sees the field but I just don't think he has it physically anymore. 2 minutes ago, Forge said: I Don't know if it makes any sense to trade off on Tannehill for a shot on Jimmy G if he's available, or Blake Bortles, etc Jimmy G would never happen, and Bortles is awful. My guess is there's a 0.05% chance Miami would trade for any non-deveopmental QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked better than most backups against the Steelers too. Not saying he'll lead the team to the playoffs, just comparing him to FA options.

SteelKing728 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Who are some developmental QBs that Miami could go after if this is serious? AJ McCarron Brett Hundley Connor Cook Trevor Sieman (if Lynch wins starting job)..? I don't know. I think Matt Moore might be better than all of them.

I didn't think of that. Dolphins seem to be stuck in franchise purgatory to a degree. I don't know if Tannehill is ever good to be good enough to carry even a decent team far enough. But he's not a bad starter. That usually doesn't get you anywhere though. Alex Smith taught me that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If it's bad, Cutler makes a lot of sense here for all the reasons stated. I'm also a big Brett Hundley fan, but I doubt Miami wants to throw draft capital to go after what's hopefully a one year fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I hope that Tannehill is OK, but if he isn't, the Browns have a playoff-tested QB that they'd be willing to move. Maybe a conditional pick that starts as a 4th, but could possibly make its way to a 2nd if he performs well for you? Side note.....if this were to happen, Sashi Brown should be awarded the Executive of the Year award upon the announcement of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
