Explain to me why you think Tannehill is better than Fitzpatrick? In which exact ways? Pocket presence? Accuracy? Anticipatio?? Footwork?
Ironically your bias is blinding you from the truth about Tannehill.
Tannehills mid range passing and short passing are above average. He's not as accurate with the deep ball but he's shown he can hit it when given a little more time in the pocket.
I think overall Tannehill is better than Fitzpatrick. There is a reason he could barely stick with a team...or even why his own team isn't really reaching for him like that.
he;s a solid number 2 guy. He's a solid stop gap QB. but nothing more.
He's a little reckless, doesn't have the greatest pocket awareness, and his game management isn't that great. He can make some good throws then follow it up with a dud. and then another dud, then another. Then a great pass. For a guy with so much intellect and smarts he plays dumb a lot.
And for a guy with that much experience at the position I would expect a lot of those little mistakes to not be there at this point. which is also why he hasn't really stuck around with a team for long.
Tannehill isn't perfect, but he's been improving every year since he's been there and that is with the worst oline and coaching staff in football. He has good size and mobility. His passing is pretty accurate especially that midrange. He can make some really touch throws. His pocket presence is inconsistent. but that could be due to the fact that his internal clock has to run faster based on the line...or not. We'll see more this year. But when he has time he has balled out.
If he doesn't make better strides this year, He will have definitely run out of excuses. But when your own OC tells you you can't audible?? that is already handcuffing you and that vanilla offense they ran. Even other offensive players mentioned that.
